forum A Stupid Friggin' Powerpoint (open oxo) (Workplace enemies to lovers)

Heres the basic plot:
Two colleagues competing for the same promotion are forced to work on a presentation together. They’ve had a somewhat sour, yet entirely unfounded, relationship since the two began working together, and this was the last thing either of them wanted. It doesn’t go smoothly at first, the two bickering and working over each other, resulting in little to no entirely conflicting work. When both of their jobs become part of the risk, they’re forced to set their differences aside and learn the other isn’t horrible. Maybe even lovely..

This is an office, set modern day. Business casual dress for the office. I have high hopes for this idea, I'm hoping to use this RP to flesh out a story arc I'm writing, so I would appreciate a 3-4 sentence writing sample.

(Hi, this looks pretty cool! I'd like to join this if that's alright. Here's a little sample)

Saturday couldn't have come any quicker. Seriously. Damian dreaded the day by wasting through all the ones that came before it. If he wasn't catching up on case work then he was looking after the twins or doing whatever else he could to occupy his attention. As long as the activity prevented him from thinking about his anxiety which made his anxiety even worse, then it was a win. One day he volunteered to help with filing in the forensic department. He sure did miss being in forensics. It was oddly calm in there.

Name: Sunhwa "Sunny" Mae
Description: Usually she likes to have her black hair up in a plain bun, but she will also braid or curl it. If she leaves it dow, it goes just past her shoulders. She stands at 6'3" and has a slender appearance. On her ears, she has lobes and helixes pierced, but she mostly just wears earrings on her lobes. Sunny also likes to paint her nails; usually darker colors like red, black, and purple, but she also loves silver too.
Work clothes: She always tries to aim for the office siren look; it is one of her favorites. Normally, Sunny wears a women's dress shirt with a pencil skirt. Her favorite color combination is like a red wine shirt and black skirt but she loves to mix it up a bit. Sometimes she will wear hugh heels while on other days it might just be some plane janes or simple flats. Then she'll have on some sort of earrings like pearls or jade.
General sense of fashion when off: Honestly, it's whatever vibe Sunhwa is feeling. She really likes wearing those long vintage nightgowns with either a sweater or see through long sleeve shirt underneath, some stockings, and sneakers. But she also loves wearing oversized t-shirts like her SOAD or World's Best Aunt shirts with a skirt of baggy jeans. Her main accessories are weird (often clunky) earrings and a ring or two.
Gender: Trans woman
Eye Color: Dark brown
Age: 25
Personality: Sunny is as bright and warm as her nickname/name is, but she's also a fighter too. Like stubborn (and definitely ambitious) is her middle name. She's really into pushing herself to go the extra mile. Usually she keeps to herself and loves being in her own little world, but Sunhwa thrives for being around other's. She's not perfect and all her good qualites do act as negatives too, but she tries her best.
Pronouns: She/her
Sexuality: Omnisexual

(Here she is! I hope you like her :D )

KJ sat at his desk in his cubical, absently going through his paperwork for this stupid accountant job. He hated the work but definitely didn't mind the pay. He checked his email and sighed almost audibly when he had one from a Miss Madeline Lawson- his supervisor. He opened the email and it read something like this;

Good afternoon Koa. I just wanted to inform you that in order to get your promotion, you'll have to create a combined PowerPoint with a colleague. I'll be having you work with Sunny, as she's also after the promotion, and the point of this requirement is to ensure whoever gets it can work well with others. It'll be due in 4-5 buisness weeks. Thank you.
Best regards, Madeline Lawson

Koa pinched the bridge of his nose in irritation. Of course, it had to be her. The woman was too cheery for him, always bright and bubbly at nine in the morning for no good reason. Koa had no reason to dislike her, but he sure wasn't going to take the time out to find a reason to like her. This woud be a long 4-5 weeks
