Madison
I studied the familiar face before me, recognition dawning. "Nolan! Oh my gosh, I haven't seen you since college!"
Nolan beamed. "The one and only! You disappeared after graduation - what have you been up to?"
I felt Alexander's presence behind me like a storm cloud. "I've been working at Knight Industries." I gestured to Alexander, whose expression remained unreadable. "This is Mr. Knight, my boss. Mr. Knight, this is Nolan Parker - we were study partners."
"Study partners?" Alexander's tone carried a weight I couldn't quite decipher.
Nolan laughed. "Yeah, Madison here saved my butt in that class. I was terrible at case studies, but she could analyze them in her sleep."
"Really?" Alexander's eyebrow arched with interest. "Madison never mentioned her academic achievements."
