When Addison Irwin reflects on the fateful day in June when her life
was upended, it plays out in front of her eyes like the opening
sequence of a nineties rom-com. Music and all.
In her mind, Vanessa Carlton belts the title track “A Thousand Miles” as
Addison makes her way downtown “walking fast / faces pass,” though she’s
work bound, not homebound. It is summer in Manhattan, and Addison is
dressed in a crisp white blouse, tan linen capris, and ballet flats. She
ascends from the subway station at Fifty-Third and Lex with the confidence
of a thirty-four-year-old woman rumored to be first in line for promotion to
art director at the Silas and Grant Advertising Agency.
This will most definitely be a day to remember, she was happily thinking
to herself. She wondered where it would stand compared to receiving the
Danhausen award for sculpture at art school graduation or attaining her
highest-ranking title thus far: Color War General at Camp Mataponi.
Addison’s rumored promotion would make her not only the youngest to
hold the role of art director at the firm, but the first woman to do so. She’d
been channeling the seventies advertising icon Shirley Polykoff, who was
the inspiration for the fictional Peggy Olson on Mad Men, since she had
first arrived. Unlike most women her age, whose motivation to move to the
Big Apple stemmed from watching episodes of Sex and the City, Addison
Irwin was a Mad Men girl. Though it should be noted that she ended up
with a matching set of friends to Carrie Bradshaw’s three besties—if not in
personality, at least in hair color.
Today, all the years of late nights and canceled plans would finally pay
off. Addison crossed her fingers that the company’s illustrious CEO,
Richard Grant, would make the big announcement—her big announcement
—during the company-wide Zoom this morning. She picked up her pace.
Richard Grant, the grandson of the Grant in Silas and Grant and the heir
to the seventy-year-old advertising agency, had been groomed to lead the
company since birth. He was competent enough, and fairly democratic in
his leadership style, but there was a disconnect that prevented anyone from
truly liking him.
He was tone-deaf to the point of embarrassment, and while
his tendency to see things only from his own perspective made for hours of
interoffice laughter and camaraderie, it annoyed Addison immensely. While
Addison loved the fact that the firm had been in the same family since its
start, she recoiled when Grant bragged about his accomplishments, personal
and business, as if his success had nothing to do with his prince-like status
and familial connections.
