degree-specific classes.”
“Do you like it so far?” Mya asked.
“It’s um… It’s a very stable field with a lot of jobs, I’ve heard. I like that part.” Casey smiled.
“Well, if your heart isn’t set on finance, I’d like you to strongly consider a major in marketing. You could even apply for our internship.”
Casey’s eyes widened as she leaned over and looked at the title on the first page. She knew the agency had been looking for a marketing intern because she’d been responsible for posting the advertisement to several job sites. She’d never considered the job for herself. The marketing associates were always outgoing and sophisticated. They hobnobbed with the clients and convinced them to trust their company’s public profile to the Mirage Agency.
“Mya, I’m not sure about this. I’m not really good with people.”
Translation, I'm a tongue-tied introvert with fashion issues. Not exactly marketing associate material.
Mya turned back and lowered her voice. “I hope I’m not getting too personal, but I want to give you some advice. Something I wish someone had told me when I was younger.” She perched on the edge of her desk and pointed over to Milo’s.
“I don’t know if you’re aware of this, but this isn’t the first time Milo and I have worked together.”
Casey shook her head and set the design board she was holding down. “I didn’t know. It explains a lot, though. You two are so in sync it seems like you’re reading each other’s minds.”
“Sometimes I think we are reading each other’s minds. But things weren’t always this way.” She stood and walked over to Milo’s desk and picked up one of the framed pictures. She handed it to Casey. It was a picture of the two of them.
“Look at him. He looks like a runway model.” Mya accepted the picture back and ran her thumb gently over the surface. “He’s always been like that, effortlessly gorgeous. Then there’s me, the short, plump girl who couldn’t even get a date in high school. I never thought he’d want me.”
Casey watched wordlessly as Mya set the photo back down. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing. This was gorgeous Mya Taylor, the woman all the men in the agency lusted after. How could she not know that? Didn’t she notice the effect she had on others?
“Mya, you have the kind of figure that can stop traffic.” Casey patted her modest chest. “Women like me pay money to have curves like yours.”
“Well thank you. But until I had the confidence to believe that, I pushed Milo away again and again. I almost lost him because I was too dumb to just believe what he told me.” Mya looked at Casey pointedly. “And I really hope you aren’t going to be as dumb as I was.”
Casey bit her lip. “Mr. Lavin is an amazing man but we don’t really have anything in common. I didn’t need his mother to tell me that.”
“I’m not just talking about Mr. Lavin. Despite what men seem to think, the world doesn’t revolve around them. I'm talking about you , Casey. You have good instincts and an eye for what works. Take a chance, believe in yourself. Apply for the job.”
Casey shrugged but a tickle of excitement crept up her spine. “I don’t know. I doubt I’d get it even if I applied. Law probably wouldn’t hire someone who isn’t even sure about her major.”
Mya sighed and picked up one of the design boards. “You’re just as dumb as I was. Which is probably why we get along so well.” She jumped up and clapped her hands.
“Let’s get to work on this Indigo design.”

“Where are we going?”
Casey followed blindly as Andre led her down the sidewalk, her legs working double time to keep up with his long stride. She’d met him outside the building after work, prepared to give him her “We’re no good for each other speech”. She’d rehearsed it in the bathroom three times, complete with facial expressions and hand gestures.
