Our story begins some 3 years ago, in a small town during a rain storm -- Just kidding, you thought this was a cheesy romance novel? That's cute.
-----
Our story truly begins in the lobby of a five-story building in downtown New Orleans, Louisiana. A building in which Amity's life would become a seething mess. A building which stood between a hospital and an artisan soup & sandwich shop which went by "Nana's."
The shop was run by a 80-something-year-old Italian grandmother and her baker's dozen of granddaughters varying in age. As many times as Amity had been to Nana's, she had never seen the signs for the corporate investment banking firm on the top floor of this building.
Walking up to the main reception station, Amity could feel her heart beating with a mixture of nervousness and excitement.
After graduating from Tulane with her MBA, Amity decided that staying in the city was the best move for her career. Starting with the daily classifieds and moving to larger employment pools, Amity searched for weeks to find a job. Finally, after seeing a career listing for Holy Trinity Investment Banking she hand-delivered her résumé and asked when she could come back for an interview.
While Amity was in the marble-floored lobby on the first floor, on the fifth floor Michael Cinzzetti was finishing up his daily meeting with the board. As CEO of Holy Trinity, Michael had a reputation to maintain. Part of the reputation was maintaining a uniformity across the staff in his office. All of the men wore dark blue suits, the women in dark blue blazers with white blouses and pencil skirts and sleek ponytails. The exception was his personal receptionist, Della who had a short haircut with the top of her hair being long & styled and the rest being shaved.
I'm only telling you all of this because the three characters I described to you are very important to our story. Sit back, relax, and stay tuned for our plunge into Amity's future.
