IC: Alexa Morgan
It had only been five days. Five days since she had put pen to paper, signing away everything she had worked for just to keep it from being destroyed completely. Five days since she had moved into her new bright and shiny corner office at Schneider, Wilson, and Fine. No sorry, correct that Schneider, Wilson, Fine and Reese. That's all it took, five days for that bitch Meredith Reese to use her downfall, which she had caused mind you, as a stepping stone to make senior partner in the firm that Alexa had been forced to merge with. And now she had the audacity to send out invitations to a party, under the pretense that she wanted to celebrate the merger and her promotion. Alexa knew it was more than that. It was just another twist of the knife Meredith had stabbed in her back.
Alexa had met Meredith 6 years prior, when she started working at the same firm Meredith was working at. Meredith had already been working there for about 13 years, since she had lost her husband overseas, and was raising her son Caleb as a single mother. Within a year Alexa had also built a reputation with the firm and when it ended up the current owner was ready to retire, they decided to pool their funds together and buy the company off him.
They worked together for years, building their reputation as one of the most prestigious marketing firms in New York. Big name clients were clambering over each other to get a chance to work with them. They were set to become the top rated marketing firm in the city. That was until Meredith decided to stab her in the back and jump ship, going over to Schneider, Wilson and Fine and taking most of their clients with her. The few that were loyal to Alexa stayed with her, but, it wasn't enough to keep the firm afloat. If it hadn't been for the merger offer, which she had an inkling had been Meredith's idea, she would have been out of business within a year. Meredith had not been happy that she hadn't been able to take all their clients with her, so the merger was another big F' you so to speak.
What Alexa didn't understand was why Meredith did it. Everything seemed to be going so well. Their firm was thriving, as was their relationship between them, or so Alexa had thought. Through the years Alexa and Meredith had become more than just business partners. They had gone from work colleagues, to friends and then finally to lovers. For the last few years, nights were spent in each others bed more often than not. Then one day, she told her it was over, that their relationship was a sin and she wasn't going to continue it. It was all downhill from there, leading up to the ultimate betrayal of Meredith leaving the company and putting Alexa in the position she was in now.
Screaming in frustration, Alexa threw the invitation in her hand across her bare desk. Since she had come to work at the new firm, she hadn't been given any work. All her former clients had been doled out to other agents, leaving her as nothing more than a figure head. She was there just to keep her clients from jumping ship and nothing much else. Just so the firm could use her name and reputation. For the last five days she had only been in one meeting with the firm partners and clients, and even then it was as a background figure, nothing more. She wasn't sure how many more days she could take of this. And to make matters worse, it seemed like everywhere she turned, Meredith was there. Meredith wearing her self satisfied smirk which made Alexa steam at the ears.
And now there was this stupid party that night, which she would have to make an appearance at. It was the last place she wanted to be that evening. She would have rather either spend the night home alone with her cat, drinking away her sorrows, or out at the local night clubs, looking for someone to fill the empty spot in her bed, even if just for the night. Sighing, she closed her laptop and packed it into its bag. Grabbing her car keys, she stepped out of her office, locking the door behind her.
“I am going to cut out early today Wendy,” she said to the young woman who had been assigned as her assistant. The young woman looked even more bored than she did. She was the daughter of one of the partners in the firm, and spent more time chatting with her boyfriend on the phone than actually doing any work. “If I have to go to that party tonight, I might as well take some me time to get ready.” Wendy barely acknowledged her, waving goodbye before returning to filing her nails. Alexa rolled her eyes. Nepotism at is finest right there.
Shaking her head, she left the office, waving at the receptionist on her way out the door. Her heels clattered on the pavement as she walked briskly to her Porsche Taycan 4S. The car was her pride and joy. A gift to herself at the beginning of the year to celebrate her success. If she had been aware at the time of what was going to happen, she would never have bought the car, but she didn't regret the purchase in the slightest.
Sliding behind the wheel, she started the car, the engine roaring to life. As she drove, she called her stylist and booked an immediate appointment to get her hair and nails done. If she had to go to the party, she was going to look her best. A couple of hours later she stepped from the salon with her hair freshly cut and highlighted and her nails manicured and painted a lovely shade of red. Next stop was Rodeo Drive to buy the dress she had been eyeing at Prada for the last week. A nice black number with a plunging neckline, that hugged her curves sensuously and left little to the imagination.
Armed with her purchase, she drove home to finish getting ready. Like her car, her apartment in downtime Manhattan was another one of her guilty pleasures. The apartment was on the 50th floor of one of the many skyscrapers in the city and gave her a lovely view of Central Park. Though the luxury of it all was wasted on her and her cat Mika, still enjoyed it. One of the perks of the building was a valet who parked her car for her. Passing the keys to valet, she made her way up to her apartment. After feeding her cat, she quickly got ready, slipping into the scandalous dress and touching up her makeup. The final touch was a pair of silver stilettos and a diamond tennis bracelet Meredith had given her as a present for Christmas the year before. Checking herself out in the mirror she smiled. “Damn I look good,” she thought to herself before grabbing her purse and heading back down to where the valet had her car waiting at the front door.
It took her another hour in city traffic to drive to where Meredith was hosting the party at her Upper East Side condo. Where Alexa's apartment was mid level in luxury, Meredith's was another story. The condo was in the same building that housed several well known celebrities and had cost Meredith a cool 2 million to purchase, which for a 2 bedroom condo was a ridiculous price if Alexa had anything to say about it. As much as Alexa hated Meredith at the moment, she had to admit the woman had good taste and provided well for her son.
Taking a deep breath, Alexa stepped off the elevator and followed the flow of people making their way into Meredith's place. Stopping at the threshold, she scanned the room, her eyes falling on Meredith standing in the corner deep in conversation with one of the other senior partners. When she realized Alexa was watching her, she laughed flirtatiously and put her hand on the man's arm, flashing Alexa a smile. Alexa rolled her eyes and made her way into the room, stopping to accept the congratulations from those she came across for the merger. Grabbing a glass of champagne from a passing waiter, she took a sip and looked around the room. It looked like only the top level employees from the firm had been invited to the party. Not that she had expected anything less from Meredith. Taking another sip of her champagne, she stopped another waiter and took a canape off the tray they held. Her stomach growled at the scent of the food and she realized she hadn't eaten anything since lunch. She quickly ate it and sat down in one of the arm chairs to finish her champagne.
Other than the few that had spoken to her when she arrived, nobody really paid her any attention. After a few minutes she grew bored and got to her feet. Meredith had purchased the condo after they had parted, so she had yet to see the place. She decided she might as well take a look around. It wasn't as if Meredith would notice she was gone, since she was too busy still flirting with the man she was speaking with earlier. Ascending a set of stairs, Alexa made her way to the upper level of the condo, where she assumed the bedrooms were located. A semi open door at the end of the hall peaked her curiosity and she made her way towards it. She could hear the sound of music coming from within. As she reached the doorway, she looked inside, only to be met by the startled face of Meredith's son Caleb looking back at her. Caleb had been away at school for the last couple of years, so it had been awhile, even before her falling out with Meredith, since she had seen him.
“Well, well, well, what do we have here,” she said, leaning against the door frame. “Hello Caleb. Its been awhile.”
