Chapter 16: Trip to remember

Ethan walked into the office, a spring in his step. "Good morning, everyone," he said, greeting his team.

His assistant, Rachel, looked up from her desk. "Good morning, Ethan. I have some great news. The marketing team has confirmed that we'll be launching the lifestyle brand at the upcoming trade show in Los Angeles."

Ethan's eyes lit up. "That's fantastic. We'll need to make sure we have a solid plan in place."

Rachel nodded. "I've already started working on the logistics. But there's one more thing – we'll need someone to write some articles and blog posts to promote the brand."

Ethan's mind immediately went to Charlotte. "I think I have just the person," he said, smiling.

Rachel raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Who's that?"

Ethan leaned against the desk. "Charlotte. She did an amazing job on that article last week."

Rachel nodded. "I'll reach out to her and see if she's interested."

A few hours later, Ethan received a text from Rachel. "Charlotte's on board," she wrote. "And she's agreed to join us on the work trip to LA."

Ethan's heart skipped a beat. He couldn't wait to spend more time with Charlotte.
