Redhead Engineerer

Janie texted Brian as soon as she got home. "Sorry about today. There won't be any scheduling problems. I cut it off with Logan."
"Sounds good. How about next weekend?"
"Great!"
"Wear comfy clothes."
"Got it."

Janie had to go to a convention at work that week. Her IT team came to TechCrunch Disrupt to look at start up businesses. Anderson Inc. was a company that helped technology related ideas come alive. The company would fund the start up business and in turn give Anderson Inc. some of the profit. Going to Disrupt was a good way to talk to people who are new.

The group consisted of 10 people including Janie. A mixture of business, engineering, and IT coming together and looking for good ideas. Logan's secretary, Kristin, told the group their schedule. As Kristin was talking and handing out lanyards, Janie noticed a guy staring at her. She made a quick glance to make sure he was actually looking at her. He looked away quickly as to not get caught by Janie. "Alright. Everyone got it?" Kristin asked. "Yes." the group answered and dispersed. Janie stuck by Tom the whole time. He worked with her on the IT floor. He was tall, lanky, and a science nerd that stumbled upon information technology. Janie and Tom had a thing but nothing serious because there was a no dating between coworkers rule in the workplace.
"I noticed that redhead guy eyeing you."
"Who?"
"The one from the engineering department."
"The tall redhead?"
"Yeah. The one as tall as me."
"Engineering department, eh?"
"Pretty smart guy."
"Must be. You know anything about him?"
"Not really. I just know that he's in the engineering department because his tag said so."
"And I thought you knew something about him."
"I do. His name is Jake."
"You saw his lanyard, didn't you?"
"No. Someone called his name."
"Oh my god." Janie punched Tom's arm. He laughed and rubbed the spot she punched.
"Let's hear what these people have to say." Tom guided Janie to a table.
