and finds the words to say to
Melaine that she should have sooner. Renee walks and talks with Melaine.
    "Melaine, thank you for everything you've done for me.
I wouldn't let you down. Um, I will remain focused... I will conquer."
    "Renee, I'm counting on it." Melaine, and Renee
exit the office in tandem. Renee nods respectfully and continues toward her
cubicle. Melaine stands over Marina's desk.
    "Marina, schedule a meeting with all my graphic
artists for 3:00 pm today." Melaine in structs
Marina.
    "Certainly!" Marina replies, and acts immediately. Melaine continues to
look out into the Designer Pit. She is smiling. She smiles as she watches Renee
reach her work area, and descend into her seat. "There is hope yet."
Melaine whispers.

    "So what did Boss Lady want this time?" Amanda
sneaks up to Renee's desk. A surprised Renee jumps up in her chair.
    "Amanda, you really have to stop doing that!"
Renee says still quivering.
    "Relax, would ya!" Amanda responds unmoved.
"What did Melaine want? Not long after your pow
wow in her office, she sent out a graphic designers-wide bulletin about a
meeting this afternoon. Did you gather any Intel?" Amanda says in her
usual entertaining fashion.
    "No, I did not. Melaine did not mention anything about a meeting!." Renee affirms.
It was widely known that Renee was Melaine's protégé. Though many of the other
graphic artists muttered their disapproval under their breaths, they did not
treat Renee differently. They knew that if word got back to Melai ne, that wouldn't be in their best interest. Melaine did
what she pleased, without apologies, particularly when it came to business.
More than that, Renee's talent stands on its own. She always contributes solid,
and innovative ideas, and executes superior ly. As a
result, Amanda Chen and the others found it difficult to hate her too much.
    "Alrigh-tee then! It'll just be a surprise for all of
us." Amanda says, very animated. Renee chuckles. "So have you heard
about Nick?" Amanda then asks.
    "Nick? What's up with
Nick?" Renee responds, giving Amanda her full attention.
    "The big man, upstairs, was so impressed with Nick's
video production skills during the Lampros event that he wants him to develop a
team for a full
video production department. I mean beyond s hort ads,
and stuff." Amanda fills Renee in.
    "Oh wow! That's pretty cool! Good for Nick!"
Renee is over-the-moon happy for her friend. 
    "Yes, pretty cool indeed. I guess you're not the only
one with a super power around here." Amanda says laughing.
    "Oh be quiet, and get back
to your station Ms. Chen. I'll see you in two hours for lunch." Renee
tells Amanda playfully. Renee knows that although Amanda teases her, it's not
meant to be malicious. When working together on the Lampros event, whenever
they hit a "rough patch", they opened up to
one another, worked through it, and other areas of their
relationship.
    Amanda salutes Renee, and walks back to her desk. Renee is
laughing. She can't help herself as she relives her recent conversation with
Amanda in her m ind. Renee is also smiling at the
thought of Nick being awarded with his recent appointment. It's nice of Colin to recognize Nick's
skill. She
thinks. Uh-oh, the "Colin-flood-gates" have opened. Renee goes on to
think... He
stood so handsome on the stage, behind the podium. He
was so funny. His hands...oh his hands are so strong... Renee begins to look at her own hands
resting at the edge of her keyboard. They are clammy. Her heart beats rapidly.
Renee stands. I need some water. She looks in the direction o f the water cooler. It is located outside of Library. The
Library stores materials for the use of each type of designer. Whichever tool,
inspiration or gadget needed, is stored there. It is on the other side of the
Designers Pit, parallel to the elevators. It is a
somewhat considerable walk from Renee's work station. Hence why she usually
packs a bottle of water into her tote bag - but not today.
    Renee is casually filling up
