Tierra walked around Northampton’s Main Street for about an hour after she left Mr. Wade’s office. There were a million things going through her mind. Technically, as Mr. Wade informed her she was acting CEO, the minute she signed the contract. So, when she walked back into the office, she was the HDIC ( Head Diva In Charge ). She smiled, trying to deter the feelings of inadequacy. What in the world made him think she could handle this? She didn’t know, but she was determined not to let her mentor down.
She returned to the office, trying not to show any sign of the uneasiness she was feeling, as everyone watched her like a pack of hungry vultures. Ever since she walked out of her meeting with Mr. Baxwell a few days ago, the rumor mill was on overload. Soon all would be brought to light, as a mandatory company meeting was planned for Saturday. Tierra smiled, continuing her way to her office. They had no idea they were eyeballing the new boss. She lifted her head a little higher and sashayed confidently past her staff.
