Summary
I was buried under a mountain of paperwork, completely empty-handed, when I posted a quick message in our team's Slack channel. I asked if anyone could grab me lunch on their way back, offering to buy them a boba tea in return.
The new intern, Tessa, saw the message and volunteered to help.
But when she handed me the takeout box, she kept her eyes glued to her freshly done acrylic nails, picking at them idly.
"So, I was scrolling through TikTok earlier," she said, her tone casually drifting. "Starbucks just came out with this new fruit Frappuccino."
