Internship
When my
brother-in-law told me to apply for the internship program at his job, I
thought he was crazy. I wasn’t sure staying for the Summer to keep our
relationship going was a good thing. I thought applying might give my family
some clue about what was going on between us. And, the program is extremely hard
to get in to, so I didn’t think I would be accepted. My brother-in-law stayed
on me (and in me) about applying. He didn’t want me to leave for the Summer
and the internship would be the perfect way to disguise the real reason I was
staying while also giving us a way to see a lot of each other. He convinced me,
so I applied right before the April deadline. When I got accepted, I accused
him of getting me in. He said he didn’t have the authority to “get me in” but
his recommendation did give my application more consideration.
While we were in Puerto Vallarta, one afternoon my sister asked if I wanted to be assigned to my brother-in-law’s office. I thought she suspected something and was trying to set me up to see what I’d say. She didn’t give me a chance before telling me a lot of his colleagues were assholes and give the interns a very tough time. My brother-in-law told her he could request that I be assigned to his office. I remember her laughing a little as she said she made him promise he wouldn’t be to hard on me. He laughed too as he said he would only be as hard on me as I could take. The way he said it shocked me. Of course, my sister didn’t get the double meaning. I realized I had been too paranoid because my sister definitely had no clue her husband was fucking me. That afternoon we all agreed it would be best for me to intern in my brother-in-law’s office. Later that evening, when he and I were alone, he told me he had to make sure my sister co-signed me working directly for him, so it didn’t look suspicious.
Each year my brother-in-law takes a few business trips to Europe. He hadn’t gone in over a year because of my sister’s high-risk pregnancy and miscarriages. This Summer he was going for a month, combining the trips his missed in to one. When he told my sister he needed to be away an additional 2 week, she was upset. Then family volunteered to help out, our mother, grandmothers and great-aunt. This changed her attitude. She was looking forward to all the help. She said she was getting more help with my brother-in-law away than they did when my nephew was a newborn.
My brother-in-law had never taken an intern on his business trips. He said it was rare for an intern to go on business travel, especially an undergrad Summer intern. This Summer would be the exception. Again, he got my sister to co-sign. He told her because of the heavy workload, he was taking an intern. He could interview a few (including me) then pick the most qualified or he could make the selection without interviewing. He had complete discretion. He told me later (because at the time I was unaware of any of this) my sister got so excited. She told him because I had never traveled this would be the best opportunity for me. He said she practically begged him not to consider any other intern, it had to be me. He said he got a hard on telling his wife because of her input he would definitely take her sister (who he’s fucking) with him on his 6-week business trip and he would make sure it wasn’t all work and no play.
