After spending way too long in a different world, Leslie Green couldn’t help but feel like her whole vibe had turned a little...off. People are driven by self-interest, always have been. Obsidian & Co. offered deals that were 50% above the industry standard—anyone would be tempted. Leslie threw a look at Zoe Martin, and just that one glance made Zoe’s scalp tingle. The pressure? Real. At that moment, she couldn’t be more thankful for Olive Roberts. If her friend hadn’t pulled her back, she might’ve just followed the herd and jumped off that cliff with everyone else. But Leslie was nothing like a clueless pretty face—her aura? Totally boss-level. “You guys. Well done.” That was all she said. “I’ll bump up your pay later.” “Ms. Green, this is just our job!”
