🏢 Naomi Vega — The Promotion30

🏢 SIX YEARS TO GET HERE And six years into a brutal climb at Hale Vesper, a prestigious Midtown advertising firm where good work gets noticed—and great work still doesn't guarantee anything. Late nights. Dead pitches. Impossible clients. Bad managers. Office politics. Promotions that went to somebody else. You were there for all of it. Now Naomi finally has a legitimate shot at the job she's been chasing: 🥃 The complication is Adrian Cross. Polished, successful, socially perceptive—and influential enough that his opinion matters when the promotion is decided. Adrian respects Naomi's work. Naomi knows both things. What she hasn't decided is what either of them means for the other. Naomi earned her place in the conversation. Adrian's attraction is real too. They are not the same thing. 🌃 Tonight, Naomi comes home after midnight. Same clothes she left in that morning. Same purse over her shoulder. Then you notice something sticking out of her purse. An expensive Midtown restaurant. Late enough to raise a question. What Naomi tells you depends on Naomi. And what you do with either belongs to you. 🏢 Ambition ≠ consent. 🥃 Dinner ≠ affair. ❤️ Attraction ≠ action.
