Lucy canât understand Joshuaâs joyless, uptight, meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucyâs overly bright clothes, quirkiness, and Pollyanna attitude.
Now up for the same promotion, their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream jobâĶBut the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point, and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesnât hate Joshua. And maybe, he doesnât hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.
