Chapter 25: Lure the Investors
** Harper **
The successful adventures with Eli more than brightened up Harper's weekend. She got another long draft ready on Sunday, and from the look of it, her readers' enthusiasm over her improved writing was only increasing. Her phone kept flashing with notifications throughout the day, even into Monday morning.

Harper was eagerly swiping for details when she heard a gasp, "Oof, be careful girl!"
Then she realized belatedly that the elevator had already arrived at her office floor, and that she was just about to trip over the door gap. She quickly shuffled her feet and narrowly avoided planting her face on the floor.
"What keeps you so occupied this early on a Monday?" It was Lindsey, the coworker sharing a cubicle with Harper, who saved her from an embarrassing elevator accident. Lindsey pushed up her glasses and glanced curiously over Harper's phone. "Is there a new game I don't know about that just came out?"
Harper chuckled. This was why she loved Miracles — only here would she get this kind of reaction for being distracted by her phone, rather than questions and jokes as to whether it was her boyfriend texting her. "Nah. Unfortunately, looks like all the good ones already timed their release back at the beginning of summer vacation." She walked beside Lindsey to their desks. "But speaking of which, I did try Legends of Time this weekend. It was awesome."
She chuckled again as her coworker and friend's face lit up with joy.
Like Harper herself, Lindsey was a product designer in charge of new game concepts. Legends of Time was Lindsey's latest work, just out on the market two months ago, and that was the one Harper and Eli spent the rest of their time on Saturday playing on the couch. The person providing the company probably mattered more than the game itself when it came to how much Harper enjoyed it ... But she did enjoy it either way, so the developer deserved the credit.
