"You're glowing," Mia says, sliding into the booth across from me at our usual brunch spot in Midtown. "Good news about the family business?"
I can't help but smile. "Better than good. I just landed the biggest deal in Bennett family history."
"Details. Now."
"Ace Corporation. Fifty million dollar contract. They're even naming the project after me – the Bennett Initiative." I lean back, savoring the moment. "My father actually hugged me yesterday. Like, a real hug, not one of those awkward shoulder pats."
Mia raises an eyebrow, her lips curving into a mischievous smile. "And how exactly did you manage to seduce the president of Ace Corporation? Please tell me you at least got dinner first."
"Mia!" I laugh despite myself. "It wasn't like that."
"Uh-huh. Sure it wasn't." She takes a sip of her mimosa. "Come on, spill. Was he hot? Old? Married?"
"Actually, he was very professional. Cold, even. The whole thing was handled through intermediaries."
