Gina
I must have read the letter from Preston Enterprises at least twenty times before the workday ended.
Five candidates.
Out of everyone in the company.
I still couldn’t believe my name was on that list.
Every time I looked at it, I convinced myself I’d read it wrong. That maybe there was another Gina Lombardi somewhere in the building and Sarah had accidentally delivered the envelope to the wrong desk.
But no matter how many times I checked…
It still said Gina Lombardi.
It still said I would be presenting my merchandising proposal to the Executive Buying Committee.
And it still listed Zane Preston’s name at the bottom.
By four o’clock, I was too excited to sit still.
Too nervous to think.
Too overwhelmed to process any of it.
I grabbed my purse, wished Jill a good evening,
