Except
Spandex and Lycra
everywhere, but not a stitch of Gucci. Becca Daniels surveyed her fellow Dive
employees. How they could just show up to work in sportswear was beyond her.
Granted, Dive’s parent company, Elite Sports, was the largest sportswear
marketing company on the west coast, but really, would it kill any of them to
wear something other than Lulu Lemon?
“Care to join us in
the discussion, Becca?”
Damn it, busted.
“Um, sorry. Just
thinking about some ideas for the website. And what it will take to get the
campaign going given our timeline.” There, that sounded like something a
totally together project analyst would say, right?
“I’m glad to hear
that, Becca.” Fred, the company’s ad executive manager said. He was dressed in
bright teal running shorts and a spandex shirt. “Because as luck would have
it—or in this case, as Brett Jennings would have it—you’re going to be project
lead for the Southland campaign.”
Brett Jennings? The
head of Dive? Becca’s mouth dropped open, and she forced her brain to
concentrate on the words. Project lead for the new Southland swim line? But
she’d only been here a year. It had taken most of the analysts at least two
years before they’d been given their own campaigns to lead.
“Excuse me?” She slid
a gaze to her best friend, Vanessa Rodriquez. Maybe she’d heard wrong. Fred
must have meant Rebecca, the senior
campaign manager.
“We feel it’s time,
Becca. Your experience with Bloomingdale’s sportswear division and your
relationship with the Marketing Director of Elite will come in handy. You’ve
been here long enough to prove yourself. We’re glad to have you on this.”
Except, nobody looked
glad. In fact, many of her coworkers looked pissed. Or annoyed, or confused.
Hell, she was confused. She couldn’t
do this, regardless of the fact Southland was the new designer watersports
line. Shit, she couldn't even swim. What did she know about spandex and
neoprene?
Do. Not. Panic.
All she needed to do
was take a deep breath. Maybe if she backed out gracefully, she could save face
and ignore the hateful glares of the forever hungry and toned that were her
coworkers. “Uhm, I’d really feel more comfortable if I partnered with—”
Vanessa kicked her
under the table and shook her head.
“Ow,” Becca muttered
beneath her breath. “What I mean to say is, yes, sir! I’m looking forward to
the challenge and can’t wait to partner with Southland to really rock this
campaign.”
She was so totally
screwed.
She’d started working
at Dive a little over a year ago, desperate for a change of pace. She’d loved
working at Bloomingdale’s, but she’d hit a ceiling at her last job, one that
wouldn't budge unless she started sleeping with her boss, so she’d taken a
chance and moved to San Diego. Land of the perpetually sunny and tanned.
For the most part, she
loved her job, she’d made friends. Okay, make that one friend.
Van was great, but Becca’d had trouble
adjusting. It was like she spoke Greek, or designer, rather, and they all spoke
German—or in this case, athletic gear. She didn’t speak the same language, let
alone wear the same uniform. Nike and Lulu Lemon were like a religious cult
around the office. Hell, her first month with Elite Sports, when everyone had
been talking about how they’d only managed four or six or ten every morning,
she’d finally had to break down and ask what the hell they meant. Ten what?
Apparently, these crazy people had meant miles.
As in running. And they always said
miles as if running that far seemed normal. Like she was the abnormal one
because she wasn’t in some never-ending training cycle for some half marathon.
What had happened to good old fashioned walking on the treadmill while watching
Real Housewives? That counted as
physical activity, right?
My review
Once I started reading, I could not stop until finishing the book. It's a really funny story: the first meeting between Liam and Becca really makes me laugh so much.
