Her friend, Emma, always said, "I'm in marketing." So, she was expecting a small, stuffy office, maybe some boring presentations. But as she stood outside the headquarters of "Innovate Industries," Maya felt her heart pound.

The sleek building was more than the height of a skyscraper. There were helicopters landing on the roof. Her cheeks flushed. She remembered Emma's complaints about deadlines.

A doorman, impeccably dressed, opened the door for her. Inside, Maya felt a rush, a tingling sensation that ran down her spine. "Can I help you?" he asked politely. Maya, barely able to speak, said, "I'm here to see Emma."
