"Hi, Jake," Eliza greeted him with a smile of her own. "What are you doing here?"
"Just wanted to say hi," Jake replied, his smile broadening.
Eliza nodded, appreciating the gesture. "How's work going in your department?"
"Busy, as usual," Jake said with a sigh, though his tone was light. "You know how things are like in finance."
"I see," Eliza responded, sympathizing with the perpetual busyness of the finance department.
Jake leaned casually against the edge of her desk. "Are things good in marketing?"
"Pretty awesome," Eliza replied, her mood lifting slightly at the thought of the recent successes in her department.
