Lola peeked her head out of the book. She had forgotten there were other people in the room. She sat up straighter, she thought reclining was a rather juvenile posture in the workplace. She took a sip of the coffee. Her face contorted with disgust. She discreetly spit out the coffee back into the cup.

She got up and poured herself a cup of water. Lola noticed someone looking in her direction. "Coffee was a mistake," she chuckled quietly. Returning to her place on the couch, Lola took a sip, just to make sure it was good water.
