Anarchy Novel "Will" Chapter 54
Chapter 54
Trinity Black watched with a careful and slightly disdainful eye as the blue-collar workers were finishing the new aquarium installation. She hated to be around those so-called inferior types. They scared her, actually. Damn unsophisticated brutes. Trinity was a clever, no-nonsense character, just like her father. Fresh out of Temple Grounds, which was the higher education center for the elite at that time, Trinity was young, ambitious, and eager to make her mark on the world. Now her father had given her that opportunity.
She turned to check on the progress of the other décor upgrades taking place around John Rockateller’s office at Liberty Bank Headquarters. She found old man Rockateller’s taste to be severely lacking and took it upon herself to make things more comfortable. After all, she needed a more suitable working environment. She was Trinity Black, after all. It was into this bustling makeover that John Rockateller stepped into on what otherwise, for him, would have been a typical Tuesday. He turned white as he came through the main archway and looked on in horror as what was once his domain was now anything but that. His eyes darted around and found Trinity near the new triangular aquarium in the center of it all. “That’s not the right color!” she was busy shouting at one of the laborers. “I wanted technocracy gray, not charcoal gray, you fools! That is charcoal gray and I won’t have it!”
John tried to compose himself as he approached the vigorous young vixen. He had to be tactful because of who her father was. What he really wanted to do was smash her fingers in a desk drawer and toss her out into the street. What came out was something in between. “What the hell do you think you’re doing?” he yelled with hands strewn in the air. “Are you lost, little girl?” Trinity turned to face her new employee. She didn’t fluster and held a smug look in place which went well with her bowl-cut black hair and sharp eyes.
“Good morning, John. Like what I’ve done with the place?” “To be honest, no, I don’t. What the hell are you doing here, anyway?” he huffed as he took a mean glance at a shark in the aquarium. “You didn’t get the memo?” she said ironically. “I’m sure you know that since the unfortunate passing of Galvin Creedy, I’ve taken over as president of Liberty Corp. My father has also given me some additional duties as well, which is why I’m here. He said that there have been some odd numerical discrepancies lately which needed tending to.” She stopped as one of the workers caught her eye. “No, I don’t want that plant over there, put it closer to the wall! Damnit, do I have to think of everything!” John groaned and tried to contain himself.
“So where was I,” she continued as she turned back to her latest victim. “So father has asked me to do some work here as well, and see if I can’t shed some light on these unfortunate happenings so that we may find a suitable solution.” John’s hands were tied, and he knew it. What the consequences would be, he couldn’t be sure, but this was a very bad sign. “So you took it upon yourself to destroy my office as the first order of business?” John complained with a careful scowl. Trinity smiled knowingly. She loved having this power, especially over someone so much older than she. She liked to see him squirm.
“Such harsh words, I would never do that. It’s an upgrade, that’s all.” Some furniture movers caught her eye and she said, “John, I’ll leave you to your own devices, I have some pressing matters to attend to.” She walked briskly over to the movers and arms started flailing around and she shrieked more awful shrieks. John started walking around trying to find his desk in all the mayhem. “Oh, John, one more thing!” she yelled form across the room. “I’m doing the same thing at Point of Light Energy tomorrow, so if you want to give your brother a warning, go right ahead! I wouldn’t want to shock the poor lad like I’ve done to you!” She giggled with delight as she turned back to her decorating. John’s eyes widened and he decided to step out for some fresh air and call his brother. It was going to be a long day.
