The digital marketing team turned out to be three people who looked like they'd recently graduated college and still thought the internet was going to save the world. They spent twenty minutes asking Vivienne about her Instagram strategy, her thoughts on TikTok influencer partnerships, and whether she'd consider starting a YouTube channel dedicated to sustainable fashion.
Vivienne handled each question with the same polished grace she'd shown during the interview. I stood behind her with the portfolio, occasionally handing her notes when she needed statistics or product details. By the time we finished, the three millennials looked like they'd just met their new religion.
We finally escaped the studio at three-forty. The same black town car waited outside, and the driver opened the door for Vivienne without a word. I slid in after her, already pulling out my phone to check for messages.
