Helen:Yes
Helen sent the dog picture to the group.
Elle:Wow I really like her rings.
Sophie:It does look a lot like the dog from his profile picture but unless that’s his girlfriend and they’re travelling back to London together I don’t see how that could be his dog. Do you know when he said he was heading back?
Helen:We didn’t talk about it – was trying to play it cool!
Sophie:I think it’s probably just a coincidence. They say when something’s really on your mind you start to see it everywhere. Like if you’re thinking about buying a polka dot dress suddenly everyone is wearing polka dots.
Helen:He’s definitely on my mind – but not much I can do about that. Who doesn’t use social media?
Elle:Don’t give up on him finding you.
Sophie:Or us finding him …
His company is in recycling right?
Helen:Yes said he was in Cornwall helping Surfers Against Sewage – he supplies replacements for plastic products like coffee cup lids, straws, cotton buds, that kind of thing.
Helen exhaled realising how much she’d hung off his every word, and how she was now telling her friends with pride what Brody did, like he was already her husband.
Sophie:I’m going to look for their company on LinkedIn – I’ve got a premium account with work x
Five minutes later a screenshot appeared: it showed a sandy-haired man in a crisp white shirt smiling into the camera, arms around several colleagues: there was no dog this time, but his lopsided smile was undoubtedly the same.
Chapter 10
Sophie:So we now know that Brody is the CEO of True Materials, which is based out of WeWork Moorgate. No personal social media that I can see – and no contact email on his website – they just have a chatbot. BUT the good news is, we know where he works.
Helen:First of all, I’m glad this situation has turned into a ‘we’ not a ‘me’ – feel much more supported.
Secondly, excellent levels of web sleuthing @Sophie.
Want to see him again but unsure I can do this without seeming like a total psycho??
(And obvs can’t afford office space in WeWork unless someone wants to give me a serious business loan.)
Sophie:You don’t need to!
Just say you’re thinking of signing up for office space – they won’t know your business is just you :-)
Maybe you could do a guided tour or something?
Helen:Still sounding a bit stalkerish but appreciate the positivity @Sophie
Elle:How about we go to a party instead?
Helen:I know I should be thinking of meeting someone new @Elle but I just want to try one more time with Brody.
Elle:I mean a party at WeWork. I looked and they have a social this Friday.
Looks pretty lame IMO – but we can try.
Helen:Do you think we can get in??
Elle:Babe, you worry too much
