Lucy Fierce

The next day as Lucy sat in her office going through her emails, she lifted her head when her office door was pushed open and a smile spread across her face when Jade stepped inside.

"I can't believe we work under the same roof yet we barely see each other," Jade remarked, her tone teasing as she walked in holding a steaming cup of coffee in a styrofoam cup. Her dark hair framed her face, and her eyes twinkled with the usual mix of mischief and warmth.

Lucy leaned back in her chair, chuckling softly. "Well, that goes to show that we are both busy people. And maybe if our offices were on the same floor it would have been easier to bump into each other more often."

Jade shook her head in playful disagreement as she took a seat on the edge of Lucy's desk, crossing one leg over the other. "That doesn't explain why you haven't been to my office yet."
