when she'd uninvited the newest member of her team from the weekly dinner she held to discuss new ideas for upcoming projects, it hadn't occurred to her that the slight would lose it's impact because her new favorite toy had already made plans. in fact, it had been unthinkable to her that the young, budding talent would already have made friends in a city notorious for chewing up and spitting out new arrivals...let alone what looked suspiciously similar to a date. and the laughter she heard echoing across the upscale restaurant when lorraine had been hoping to demoralize them into submission was not well received by the seasoned actress. she held her head high as she approached the table, though, lips curled into the perfectly curated smile she'd practiced and maintained for decades. "sweetheart, you were sitting here with a perfect line of sight to our table and you didn't come say hello? i'm hurt." she diffuses the tension with a warm, practiced laugh as she extends her hand to the rest of the table. "lorainne atwood, nice to meet you. so how do you know my little protege here?"
