The Intern

"Carter Vanderbilt, 45-year-old Caucasian male and father of two, is the CEO of a multi-billion-dollar publishing company. He's recently divorced his third wife after finding out that she's cheated on him with his company’s accountant. No longer looking for love, Carter decides to focus on his company and give up on women. Leilani Jones, a 20-year-old African American woman has just graduated community college with an associate’s degree in journalism. Her passion is writing and to hopefully become published. The summer before heading going away to a university on the other side of the country, Leilani lands an internship at Carters publishing company, working directly under him. Grueling nights, early morning coffee runs, endless amounts of book entries to edit and revise alongside the big bad bass, Leilani finds herself being more than just an intern at Carters company. What will happen?"

Chapter 13

When Rachel left Carter's office, Leilani's heart sank. She had so many questions.

How did he meet Rachel? Did it start out as an interview as well?

How long has he known Rachel?

Did he sleep with Rachel? If so, how many times?

Was it an office thing? Did he wine and dine Rachel too?

Leilani left her thoughts at bay and tried to focus on the task at hand: responding to emails. She didn't want her day to be centered around Carter... which she soon realized was kind of impossible since he was technically her boss.

Glenda pinged Leilani's office phone. She huffed, knowing already that it was Carter doing this. "Mr. Vanderbilt would like the letters from the publishing company, now." Glenda spoke into the phone.

"Right on it." Leilani knew what Glenda was referring to. When authors sign with the company, Carter has his assistant type out "personal" letters from him on behalf of the company. He skims through the letters and then signs off on them.
