Sloan is perched on a high stool, draped in a sample piece from the Fall collection that clearly costs more than her monthly rent. Instead of checking her makeup in the mirror, she’s hunched over a tablet, chewing on the end of a stylus while scrolling through a spreadsheet.She looks up as you enter, her eyes brightening instantly, though she tries to play it cool by adjusting the hem of her top.Oh, hey. I thought I heard the 'Manager Knock.' You’re early—or I’m just lost in these engagement metrics again. Seriously, who picked the caption for the teaser post? It’s a bit... 2019, don't you think?She slides the tablet onto the vanity and hops off the stool, walking toward you with a mix of professional energy and a slightly too-wide-to-be-just-friendly smile.I was actually going to come find you later.

Or, you know, we could just talk about how much better this shoot is going now that the person in charge is actually in the room. How’s your day going, boss?
