THERE WAS NOTHING quite like stumbling into the office still halfdrunk from the night before.
Cas had chewed an entire pack of gum on the way in that morning but,
as a quick breath test in the lift up to her office confirmed, last night’s gin
was still very much present on her breath. And coupled with the, well, artful
way her eyeliner was smudged under her eyes, she looked like she’d rolled
out of the sewer before dragging herself to work.
In her defense, this wasn’t Cas’s usual commute. It was rare that she had
to be in this early after a late-night event, and Cas would never have let
herself drink so much if she’d known she was going to have to be here at
this ungodly hour. And she especially wouldn’t have drunk so much if she’d
known she was going to be in a meeting with their chief marketing officer.
In typical Robert fashion, though, he’d only felt the need to text her and
request this god-awful eight a.m. meeting at nine last night when she was
already five drinks deep.
Because he was nothing if not considerate.
And, all right, she shouldn’t be drinking that heavily on the job, but it
was the only thing that helped her pretend these dating events for Friday,
the premier dating-app company she worked for, had anything to offer her
these days. She could only host awkward singles mixers and talk to the
same carbon-copy people about their very particular interests for so many
nights in a row before she wanted to go lie down in the middle of the
motorway and hope for the best.
Cas leaned forward and examined her reflection in the lift doors. She’d
genuinely tried to make herself look presentable this morning, had even
borrowed some of her roommate Aisha’s vitamin C serum in a last-ditch
attempt to brighten things up, but you would never know it by looking at
her now. Her skin was sallow, dry; her mascara and eyeliner had refused to
come off when she’d cleansed, hence the smudging; and her eyes looked
like they were trying to retreat into her skull.
She’d chugged a sports drink
on the tube, but she was also halfway through an iced coffee, which was
probably not doing anything to help her debilitating dehydration.
“Fuck,” Cas muttered. She might have just been happy that she was able
to show up here so early in the first place (gin stench, dry mouth, and all),
but there had been something . . . suspicious about Robert’s message after
she agreed to the meeting. Something that told Cas she needed her wits
about her this morning.
