The Lazy Life Of Raine

Heiress (6)

Raine woke up early, getting ready for work.  She had a feeling that her bodyguards gave a detail report to Monroe about what happened last night.   Raine just hoped that Monroe wouldn’t question her about it or mention it.

Last night her thoughts and feelings ran wild for hours until early morning.  She only had two hours of sleep before her alarm rang and she got up to start her training as the next CEO of Evermore.  

Once clean and dressed, she made her way downstairs to have breakfast with her grandfather and thankfully they said their “Good Mornings” and ate silently.  

They rode in two different cars on the way to work and arrived at different times.  Monroe arrived first and entered the company through the underground parking lot, while Raine arrived last and walked through the front doors.  

Her arrival caused a stir among the employees.  Her face had been plastered all over the newspapers, on television, on websites that she had become a familiar face to the public.  The topic of Addison becoming the next heir of Evermore Corporation was widely discussed along with the company’s politics, stocks, and future trajectory.  

Mable stood inside of the entrance and greeted Raine.  Although she was leading Raine and her bodyguards to the private elevators, she was still a step behind Raine.  

When Raine exited the elevators, there were six other secretaries who were waiting by their desk.  Mable quickly introduced each person to Raine then lead her to her new office.

Raine reorganized her desk before joining Monroe so she could shadow him throughout the day.  

The day passed by quickly for Raine.  It was her first day, so most of the time, she sat next to Monroe and listened.

When work was done, Raine and Monroe went out for dinner with some of the employees that held a higher position.   Because Raine had sat next to Monroe throughout the day and did not smile at anyone, most of the employees were wary of her.  Even at dinner, she kept to herself and only answered questions that were asked from Monroe.

Raine sat back silently and watched everyone that was invited to the dinner party.   She wanted to observe them so she could have a detail understanding of the power dynamics within the company as well as where each person’s alliance lies.  

She was being calculative towards her mission and wanted to ensure that nothing happened to Monroe and the Evermore Corporation.  

“Addison.”  Monroe said as he leaned over to her.  “Are you alright? You didn’t eat much.”  

“I’m fine Grandpa.”  Addison answered. “I have another dinner to attend to after this.”  

Monroe looked at his granddaughter and hoped the other person she had plans with was not with the Leafheart boy.

Monroe pushed his lips together in discontent, however he didn’t say anything.  

Raine felt her cell phone vibrate and took it out.  It was a message from Silver to confirm their dinner soiree at one of Silver’s many family run restaurants.  Raine quickly confirmed her presence at their meet up and placed her phone back inside of her purse.

“So, Addison, I heard you are an artist and was planning to join the Creative Department.  Do you still plan to submit some of your work and ideas for development?” Phil asked.

Raine turned towards the Vice President and looked at him silently for longer than necessary.  Silence made people uncomfortable, however to Raine, it didn’t matter to her.

“Of course.”  Raine finally said. “However I won’t submit anything for the time being, seeing how I have to follow in my Grandfather’s footsteps.”
