Jeanne Parks is a data scientist/engineer working at Nvirotech solutions. She graduated with honors two years ago and has been working here since. Jeanne has a long history with Brittany "Britt" Smith. Jeanne has always been in the shadow of Brittany. They have known each other since third grade and would always be in competition in almost anything from classroom grades to athletics to charity events, Jeanne always ends up as number 2 always inches away from the number 1 position. It didn't help that on top of being academically better than her, Brittany is hotter than Jeanne and has a more alluring, confident ,talkative personality. This natural package that Brittany has causes all the attention to be sucked by Brittany by no fault of her own. Brittany was the pure "golden girl" that could do no wrong. Brittany always made sure to give praise and tell people about Jeanne's accomplishments ,and even though a decent amount of people tell Jeanne she is a good girl she always feels inferior to Britt. To Jeanne she thinks people are putting on a farce and really didn't care as she thought they think of her as "too quiet and shy" or the most hurtful comment "just some number 2".
No matter how hard she tries it seems she can never avoid her. She thought that in college she would be rid of her and then out of nowhere Brittany transferred to her college during the fall semester of sophomore year. Jeanne's status as number 1 in the the classroom, sorority, and dating scene went down back to the ever so familiar number 2 slot. Something about Jeanne changed at the end of the fall semester, before she had a healthy respect for Brittany, but then she became very bitter towards Brittany attributing her success only towards her looks and her being a whore/cheat that slithers her manipulative tongue in both the classroom/boardroom and bedroom. This bitterness tainted her otherwise pure and good soul. Jeanne saw her very odd connection with Brittany as a punishment for crime in a past life. She let her self go a bit and gained some weight and developed some acne which she is trying to control till this day. She saw anything good Brittany did as a lie to mask her evil insides and any praise that Brittany gave to Jeanne was just worthless pity.
Just like in college, Brittany somehow ended up in Nvirotech solutions. The saving grace being that they were assigned to two different parts of the company and were on separate floors. That was until about 5 months ago. The company was setting up a new service team to headline the large investment the firm is putting towards Machine Learning and A.I.. They needed two managerial officers, a project officer and a engineering officer. The project officer controls the workflow of all projects within the division and the engineering officer works with the executives and financial departments to ensure everyone stays within budget and deadlines are met in accordance with the project officer. She was the second to last interviewee and knew she had either position in the bag and was happy as she walked out until she saw Brittany. Her heart sank, her special moment of great triumph ruined. She knew she would have to work with Britt. Even though both roles are equal, Jeanne's mind slipped into that bitter place she tries to avoid. According to Jeanne, it seems like she can never have the spotlight to herself and with her history with Britt, Jeanne could single-handily save the company 12 billion dollars and the "golden girl" will still get credit and Jeanne will be cast into the shadows like always. No matter what she is in a never ending battle with this whore.
Jeanne always hid this bitter side of herself because if she said anything everyone would attack her as Brittany "golden girl" Smith is always right and could do no wrong and Jeanne is a jealous asshole. This bitterness towards Brittany is unhealthy and keeps Jeanne up at night making her question if she is a good girl. (Even though she is). However, today after waking up late and knowing they had trouble with a new project, plus being greeted with that piercing "good morning" some of the venom spilled out from Jeanne. She muttered a low
“At least one dozen times, yes.”
”Wow Jeanne someone has some bite today. Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?” Brittany said playfully trying to lighten up the mood sensing Jeanne may be having a rough morning.
It wasn't working
”Ha Ha rub it in my face why don't you!”
”Geez Jeanne I'm just joking”
”Yeah Yeah!”
”Seriously are you okay? You are usually happier most days”
”Yeah I am usually happier most days when I can be alone for two hours and not hear your voice every three fucking seconds. You know for as long as I have known you I thought I would get used to your voice. But, with every year it becomes much more annoying! All high and mighty with your "I was just on my way to call you; I feared you got lost yesterday." Lecturing me about being late even though you have come in late on more than one occasion. Usually after one of your many dates, you know if would put the same effort towards having sex with people into this division we would not be so behind and overbudget on the Q1290CX server project!"
"Oh okay Jeanne I can tell that you are very grumpy today. I am a little hurt but I know that you are not naturally aggressive so something else is going on and I pre-emptively forgive you. I am going to give you thirty minutes to cool down and then we need to talk about numbers for the projects for the A.I. division. " There was a crack in her voice near the end of her speech.
