At the landing of the stairs I grab my cane off of its hook on the wall. Another honk greets me as I open the door. I step out into the brisk fall air. I lock the door behind me as I walk down the steps. I put my hand on the car and let it guid me to the drivers side window. I hear the mechanical working as the window rolls down.
"Hey Raine!" A familiar friendly voice pipe
"Hey Hank!" I reply just a chirpy
Hank has been me and Eric's driver since forever. Before Eric got his license Hank drove us everywhere. But I never let him drive me to school, I didn't want the other kids to think that I'm some high and mighty rich kid. Flaunting in my fathers money. I hate using my fathers money, I know he has illegal costumers and does dirty business like that. It's blood money, and I don't want any of it.
"Is Sherry in the back?" I ask him
"Yes ma'am, hop in." I roll my eyes a the ma'am, he only calls me that when my dad or his higher up employees are around.
I open the backdoor of the car and sheery's perfume immediately assaults my nose. I've always hated Sherry. She's a slut who is madly in love with my father, I mean she's half his age! Plus what could she possibly see in my father? Money.
I see people as their personalities not by how they look. Because well it's not that hard to figure out why, but for you slow people I'll give you a hint. It's because I'm blind. Anyway, her personality reminds me of one of the three fates in Percy Jackson, or more specifically Mrs. Dodds.
"Gertrude, get in the car already!" A high pitched voice shrieked, making me wince. I got into the car and folded up my cane. "Driver, drive!"
"It's Raine"
"Excuse me?"
"You called me Gertrude, my name's Raine." I explained
"Whatever, Howard sent me to fetch you" and that sentence put us into a silence the rest of the car ride.
Around 30 minutes later, the car turned and I couldn't feel the sun on my face anymore so I knew we were in the company parking area. Hank gets out and opens my door. I step out of the car and unfold my cane. Hank followed us as we entered the lobby of Lewis Corp.
"Ms. Lewis I will wait down here until you return so I may drive you home." I nod to him and send a small smile as Sherry practically dragged me onto one of the elevators. I send a small wave to whet I knew Hank was watching me with concerned eyes.
