~ London, HQ of the Giantshade Industries ~
I slumped into my executive chair, happy that another stressful day in the office is nearing its end.
With Magda and my father out of the picture, I'm able to focus on the business and the company is gaining a steady footing with an array of solid partnerships and big projects.
If I'm going to get into Seraphina's eyes, I need to improve the reputation of Giantshade Industries.
Unfortunately, I've spent most of the last few weeks auditing work my father did and patching up the gaps he left behind, but I'm able to see the end of it, so that's a relief.
My work would be much easier if not for several old farts who still see me as a green youngster who should hide behind my father. If they lower their bruised egos and accept that I'm the new boss, things would be much easier, but I've never had it easy.
