Another founder.

Another company.

Another room waiting to reveal itself.

She picked up her notebook, smoothed the front of her jacket, and headed for the door.

And somewhere else, another woman was learning not to confuse patience with surrender.

The next table was already set.

This time, Olivia intended to keep building it bigger.
