Chapter Eight

I watch Patricia run out of Wayne’s corner office with tears streaming down her face. There’s been rumblings around the department of Wayne’s affair with Patricia. I’ve contemplated telling Carol or Dad about the rumor because if it’s true, they are breaking company policy. It will be an easy way to get rid of that ass, but I don’t want Patricia to get caught in the crossfire.

Also, I don’t want the employees to feel like they can’t be themselves around me. For over a year, they’ve been weary and only interacted with me on a professional level. Here I am, the unpaid intern whose father owns the company, that will one day be their boss. I felt as if I was on an island to myself, cast out because of who I am. It’s an island I wish to not revisit yet. One day happiness will streak through me like a comet when I return to the island, but not now.

“Hey, Ryan.”

I look up from the computer screen to see Greg hanging on the edge of my cubicle.

“Come with me. I want to show you some things I did and bring your designs.” He turns away and walks to his office.

The chance to see what Greg had done on the Spector design is too good to pass up. I grab my drawing storage tube and follow him to his office, over to his drawing table facing the city. I analyze the pages of tracing paper, admiring the sleek, modern design with a dash of traditional elements.

“Let’s see what you’ve got so far?” Greg request.

We spend the rest of the afternoon preparing a second set of drawings, incorporating a few of my ideas.

Greg points to the third floor on my drawing, noting an issue with the dimension. I listen to the feedback and suggestions. Greg is an excellent teacher and should be the one heading this department. We continue to work until I hear a horrid voice.

“Have you finished checking the supplies closet, so Patricia can place the order?” Wayne barks.

I turn around and glare at him. Do you know who I am?

Is that the purpose of my internship? I’m not the only fucking intern, motherfucker. I’m not ordering supplies. There are other interns getting paid for that shit.

I’m not penniless. It was my decision to come work here unpaid. I get a monthly stipend from my trust fund. Money that was trusted to me by my mother’s father, who passed when I was two. The trust stipulations granted me access to it at twenty.

I clench and unclench my fist, fighting the urge to slug him. “I’ll ensure it’s completed before I leave tonight.”

“Make sure it gets done.” Wayne looks toward Greg. “I want to see the progress on the Spector project on Monday.”

Greg nods.

Wayne turns and begins walking out of Greg’s office. He halts and turns back to us. “Oh yeah, the morale in the department is a bit off lately; so on Saturday we’re going to have a team building exercise.
