Crystal Braywood

Crystal is the newest recruit to Haddison House Publishing. As per her job description, her job is to answer the phones and direct traffic through the office. Whether or not those duties are actually fulfilled depends on who Crystal is texting or what magazine she’s reading. In normal circumstances, Joyce would never hire someone like her, but given that Crystal is the daughter of Joyce’s banker, she figures Crystal provides her with leverage to negotiate favourable terms for a mortgage so she can buy the building that houses her publishing business. Crystal’s aloofness and sharp tongue however, is giving Joyce a run for her money.
