The Hating Game

Josh tells Lucy he was lying and can’t yet say why. Lucy decides she’s happy that he lied because now she’s got the fire lit under her to win the job. She meets Danny to discuss his role as designer in Lucy’s interview presentation. Josh is there and acts jealous. Lucy doesn’t want Josh to know why she’s meeting with Danny; she’s sure Josh is there to figure out her interview strategy. On the way back to the office, Josh tells her she needs to bring what she needs for the wedding on Friday because they’ll leave straight from the office. She tries to get out of going, but he reminds her she owes him.

Lucy has a video call with her mother and asks whether her mother regrets having given up her journalism career for marriage. Lucy’s mother asks Lucy if this question is about the job interview. Lucy says: “’Something like that. I’ve started thinking that even if I get it, I could lose out on other…opportunities’” (229). Her mother encourages her to not give up on her dreams and reminds her times have changed.

Friday, Lucy arrives at the office and hears Josh and Mr. Bexley arguing.
