Lucy cant understand Joshuas joyless uptight meticulous approach to his job. Joshua is clearly baffled by Lucys overly bright clothes quirkiness and Pollyanna attitude.Now up for the same promotion their battle of wills has come to a head and Lucy refuses to back down when their latest game could cost her her dream jobBut the tension between Lucy and Joshua has also reached its boiling point and Lucy is discovering that maybe she doesnt hate Joshua. And maybe he doesnt hate her either. Or maybe this is just another game.
