I can't tell if this is a teaser prequel or part of the larger work, but it didn't work for me.Industrial espionage is real, but the author of this story acts like he has no idea it exists.It is totally and completely unbelievable that a company would allow a high-placed employee to bring her date to their labs and talk about ongoing projects (like a plan to challenge Coca Cola with a new drink).  If you read much food journalism, you know that this area of food research and development (flavoring) is one of the most secret and highly guarded areas in all of business.  But Grace just takes her date into the labs and invites him to sit there while she works on her top-priority project . . . then gives him a taste of it.No way.If you take away the completely unrealistic plot, I guess the story is okay.  The cliche of rugged guy who teaches the highly accomplished woman what is really important in life -- yawn.
