DYANNEAs I walk down the hallway, heading towards my office, I see Nicole walking up to me.Good gracious, don't piss me off, please.I wish I could pretend not to see her, but it's a bit too late for that.“Dyanne,” she says my name, like the way rivals of a game would greet each other if they met somewhere random.“Nicole,” I return in the same tone. Surprisingly, her lips turned up into a small smile, unlike the snarl I thought I'd be receiving. “Can we talk? Over coffee?“I assess her facial expression; it's not like she's thinking of killing me, but if she were, she's doing well in hiding it.Could this be about the lunch that Alex ditched? Or did Regina send her? If anyone, I'm curious to hear what she has to say.And I do need coffee.“Sure. I was about to get one.”I watch as the coffee fills my cup. I turn around and take a look at Nicole. She's seated at a table close to the windows and drinking from her cup.If someone saw her that way, they'd think she's a nice person.
