Paula shares her experience of attending a large, multi-day work conference with her boyfriend Tom, who works for a different company. While attending the conference, Paula encounters a woman named Tiana who makes subtle digs at her throughout the conference. Before the closing cocktail reception, Tiana talks about a “really attractive guy with green eyes” who she wants to ask out at the reception.
