As soon as the man turned the corner, Dawn dropped the scrubber and exhaled deeply.
ying the role of spy drained more out of her than she expected. Even though nobody could possibly catch her, her chest still stayed tight the whole time. The fear made her feel half-
crazy.
She shook it off and drove to the office. The smell of roasted beans pulled her into the café downstairs, and a hot coffee soon warmed her hands.
At the elevator, she bumped into Linda. That almost never happened.
Linda looked more radiant than usual, her mood almost glowing. After asking a few questions about Dawn’s current projects, her expression lit up. “Hey, I’m going to aworking event tonight. Want toe with me?”
“I—”
“Perfect. You’reing.”
The words Dawn had lined up vanished. She forced a smile. “Alright, then, Ms. Greenwood.”
Linda was dressed in her sharp gray suit as always, yet her smile broke past the cool business look. It was warm, like sunlight sneaking through ss.
She touched Dawn’s cheek with a softugh. “Why are you calling me that when it’s just us? Call me Linda. Soon, we’ll be …

Dawn froze, her brows knitting. “Soon we’ll be what? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Nothing.”
Linda’s grin stretched wider, like she was hiding something. “Anyway, I’ll wait for you in the garage after work. Nowe on, time to hustle.”
Dawn didn’t get it, but she wasn’t about to argue with her boss.
Dreammaker Studios was still young, not even three years old, yet it already had a strong name and its own fans.
Its <b>rise </b>was nothing short of rocket fire.

When Dawn pulled up Linda’s file, she blinked. “She went to Gregorias University? That’s in Meriax!”
“Yep.” Janice suddenly appeared at her desk, coffee in hand, peeking at the screen. She sighed. “Not shocked. Linda built this ce herself, and she’s a Gregorias University grad. Makes a huge difference.”
Something about her tone caught Dawn’s ear.
“You and Linda close?”
“Nope.”
Janice shrugged. “I was here from the start. She made it to Director, I’m still a team lead. Life’s not fair. Forget her.”
She leaned closer with a sly look. “I know a killer Cosmetria cuisine spot. Want dinner with me tonight?”
“Can’t.”
Dawn shook her head. “I’m going with the Director to thatworking thing.”
Janice’s smile faltered, then cracked.
“Oh. Never mind then.”
She walked off, and Dawn muttered under her breath, “Gregorias University … funny. Ethan’s a graduate too.”
The day raced past.
At six, Dawn left with the others and headed to the garage,
“Over here!” Linda waved, holding the passenger door open.
“Your carriage awaits, princess.”
Dawnughed. “Ms. Greenwood, you’re too much.”
“This isn’t too much.”
Linda had swapped her office suit for <b>a </b>sparkling outfit that looked ready for battle.
She slid behind the wheel, buckled her seatbelt, and smiled. “I told you, outside the office I’m
g, then we’ll
head to the event.”
Dawn looked down at her jeans and coat. She hadn’t nned for anything fancy, so she stayed quiet.
By then the sky had caught fire with sunset, spilling red light across the car windows. Northville’s winter cut sharper than Trifton’s. The cold pierced right through skin.
Linda dragged Dawn into the mall and handed her a white cocktail dress.
When they slid back into the car, both of them breathed warm air into their hands.
“God, it’s freezing.”
Linda cranked the heat higher. “Can’t let you get sick. That would be a crime on me.”
Dawn blinked. “Why?”
“Because peo-”
Linda broke into augh. “Because people keep calling in sicktely.”
That was close.
She almost gave something away.
Dawn watched her, feeling like Linda was hiding something. But then, geniuses always had quirks.
Theworking event began at eight. By the time they stepped inside, the room was already buzzing with people.
Linda navigated through the crowd like she owned it, shaking hands and exchanging smiles. A waiter passed by, and she grabbed two sses of champagne, passing one to Dawn.
