Samantha shrugged off her leather jacket and flung it on her desk, breathing a
small sigh of pleasure at the blast of air-conditioning against her clammy
skin. June in Singapore was much too hot for any kind of outerwear, but she
simply had to wear the cropped biker’s jacket both S and Vogue had labeled
“the season’s must-have.”
Even if hers came from Taobao and not Tom Ford.
She collapsed into her office chair with enough force to send it swiveling
into position in front of her workplace computer. Her reflection looked back
from the darkened screen, sporting a halo of messy waves that emphasized
the sharp chin of her heart-shaped face. On good days, her hair fell down her
back in a curtain of sleek curls. But on hot days like this—and Singapore had
plenty of those—her naturally curly hair frizzed up in a way no hairbrush
could wrangle into submission.
“Sam, there you are!”
Heads turned as Anya strutted the short distance from her desk to
Samantha’s like it was her personal catwalk, wearing a denim minidress
belted with a brightly patterned Dior scarf that violated Arrow Public
Relations’ corporate dress code in half a dozen ways and made Samantha
wish she had kept her leather jacket on despite how it stuck to her skin.
At
least it would make her outfit seem a little less plain compared to her friend’s.
But only Anya could get away with an outfit that, on anyone else, would
have meant being hauled in for a “talk” with Human Resources.
The higherups turned a blind eye to her misdeeds as long as they weren’t too out of line,
since it was an open secret Anya’s father was tight with Arrow’s leadership.
Even during a recession when people were getting laid off left, right, and
center, a spot at Arrow had magically opened up for Anya, even though she
lacked the university degree that the job listing had asked for—and in the
most prestigious financial products group, no less.
“Hey, what’s up?” Samantha asked as Anya nudged the leather jacket out
of the way and hitched herself onto Samantha’s desk. Her feet—clad in laceup combat boots with the distinctive Gucci stripes—dangled slightly off the
ground.
“I heard Heather kept the entire food and beverage team back for a
meeting yesterday,” Anya said, adjusting her headband so that two front
strands of hair fell out and framed her face perfectly. “What was that all
about?”
Samantha laughed, her hands instinctively flying up to pat down her curls
as she took in Anya’s full blowout. “Don’t tell me you’re so starved of gossip
you’re actually interested in a work meeting.”
“It’s been a slow week, but at least it’s Friday now.” Anya smirked.
“Anyway, dish.”
Samantha leaned back in her chair and sighed. “She wanted us to
brainstorm ways to attract new F and B clients. We haven’t been doing too
well these last few months.”
“Neither has the financial products team,” Anya admitted, not sounding
bothered at all. “You would think finance is an evergreen industry, but nope.
A recession hits and boom—the first thing they slashed was their public
relations budget.”
