Chapter 15

Victoria Langley hurried down the street, her heart pounding with a mix of anticipation and unease. She'd just finished an engaging coffee date with Maya. As she walked, she contemplated her attempt to arrange a meeting with Alexander Harrington, the CEO of Harrington Holdings.

The setting sun cast a warm glow over the cityscape, painting the sky in hues of orange and pink. Despite the serenity of the evening, Victoria's mind buzzed with thoughts about her pending request for a meeting with Harrington. She dialed her assistant, Sarah, to check on the progress.

"Sarah, any news on the meeting with Mr. Harrington?" Victoria inquired the second time of the day, her voice tinged with anticipation.

"Adrienne, Mr. Harrington's assistant, is working on it," Sarah replied again. "I've reached out to her, and she assured me she's looking into potential time slots. I'm expecting to hear back from her soon."
