“Here’s to Elizabeth, the youngest Director of Investments at Palmer James
Company, and the soon to be youngest Managing Director,” Jody said as
she held her wine glass up high.
The clang of their glasses reverberated in Elizabeth’s ears, adding to her
nervous excitement about her new promotion from Associate Director to
Director, and her transfer from the New York office to the Chicago office.
“I can’t believe we’re all going to be living near each other again. It will
be so much fun, and just like old times when we were in college. I’ve
missed you.” Holly’s smile stretched from ear to ear.
“Oh, by the way, I’ve got a great house for you to look at tomorrow,”
Jody added. “It’s the last one available in a new development project my
dad’s company recently completed. It’s gorgeous, brick, has three
bedrooms, a huge kitchen, a large open entryway, and a den designed as if
made specifically for you. And just wait until you see the size of the living
room. I can’t wait to show it to you.” The excitement in her tone, as well as
her bright gaze, was unmistakable.
“And there’s more, my dad is giving me a condo in this same
development, which comes with a membership to the new golf course that
borders both my condo and the house I’m going to show you. We’ll
practically be neighbors.”
“Sounds great, I can’t wait to see it.” Elizabeth tried to match her perky
friend’s enthusiasm, which was always a challenge for her.
After finishing their celebratory meal consisting of seared salmon with
crab salad with avocado sauce, Elizabeth reluctantly headed out for some
clubbing with her friends. Though she was tired from her travels and ready
to call it a night after dinner, they managed to guilt her into going out.
As she sunk into the booth, she watched her friends dance and flirt with
the handsome, well-to-do gentlemen who caught their attention. How could
they be so carefree at their age? They were in their late twenties, for crying
out loud, and it was time to curb the giddiness.
It was no secret her conservative and well-reserved nature always
prevented her from behaving in the same lighthearted manner as her
friends, even back in college. Holly and Jody focused more on the social
activities rather than the academic component like she did. It was probably
her father’s fault she was wound so tight. If he hadn’t always implied that a
woman’s place was in the home, she probably wouldn’t be so gung ho on
proving him wrong by excelling in the workplace; and the Palmer James
Company was just the place to do it since it was owned by her father’s
long-time friend.
From the very first moment she stepped foot in the New York office,
she knew what she wanted. She dreamed of becoming the youngest
Managing Director and someday running that very branch.
While she watched her friends on the dance floor, nervous anticipation
consumed her. She couldn’t wait to get to work on Monday and hit the
ground running, knowing she’d need to prove her abilities in the Chicago
office if she wanted to go back and manage the New York office someday.
