After receiving the invitation, Rose's buzz from the wine she'd been sipping subsided considerably. A wave of joy then washed over her like an unexpected summer storm.
"She finally gave in!" Rose was elated, practically bouncing.
The bartender across from her shot her a quizzical look.
Moments ago she was sulking as if mourning a great loss, and now she was grinning ear to ear... Must be a case of lovesickness, he figured. A little attention from the boyfriend, and all is right in her world.
The next day, Rose got up with the dawn, slipping into her most expensive power suit before hailing a cab to Bane Corp Center.
The receptionist, having been informed of Rose's arrival, called someone from HR to come down and take Rose to get her employee badge.d2
Rose had always worked closely with Penn, so everything at Bane Corporation felt fresh and exciting, and she scrutinized each department they passed with keen interest.
The employees at Bane Corporation carried themselves with a certain vigor, the mark of a firm founded by someone with Wayne's drive.
After all the formalities were completed, the HR manager took Rose to the 27th floor, indicating an office space, "Ms. Albinia, this will be your office from now on."
Rose frowned slightly, "Shouldn't my office be on the top floor?"
"Ms. Albinia, the top floor is reserved for the CEO's office. You are Ms. Tesdal's executive assistant; your office isn't on the top floor," the HR manager replied courteously.
Rose's expression soured, "Where is Rosalynn… Ms. Tesdal?"
"I'm not sure of Ms. Tesdal's whereabouts. She will contact you if she needs you."
Once the HR head left, Rose's mood darkened like storm clouds gathering. Clicking her heels, she entered her new office.
The view was impressive, overlooking the entire Central Business District. But... she couldn't shake the feeling that Rosalynn had simply found a place to stash her away. Just as she was pondering this, there was a knock at the door.
A sharp-dressed young woman entered, her arms laden with a stack of files.
