𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗
I was in my studio working on a shoot...
Gestures to a pile of prints
I turn my phone off in there.
Taylor would always say, "
What if I need to reach u?"
I never thought...
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
When's the last time you spoke to your wife?
𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗
During the day.
We always touchbase at lunch.

Busy. Stressed. Normal. She'd just
landed this promotion, Managing Editor.
Finally gotten what she'd been working so hard for...
𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍𝐍𝐄
You two were high-powered.
That can be hard on a marriage.
And you're clearly surrounded by a lot of beautiful women.
𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗
You think?
This is nothing, it's just work, but Taylor...
My life doesn't work without her...
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Mr. Webster, you said Taylor just got a promotion.
You think that might've earned her any enemies?
𝐀𝐋𝐄𝐗
I guess, it's fashion, but you should talk to her assistant Emily.
Taylor and I tried not to bring work home.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Uhm, one more thing.

Taylor adored Alex. And I would know,
I was privy to everything...
Pulls out make up bag, gum, saltines...
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
You have a sleeping bag in there?
𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘
I probably should, it's a 24-7 gig.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
So, Emily, did Taylor have any rivals,enemies?
𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘

Handing over Datebook, I also downloaded her hard drive.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Thank you. Because Alex mentioned she
Just got a big promotion.
Was anyone jealous, or up for that job too?
𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘
I don't know, maybe the Beauty Editor,
but everyone else was really excited for her.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
The Beauty Editor?
𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘
Chloe London. She thought she deserved the job, but I'm sorry,
Taylor was the Fashion Editor.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
I'm not really familiar with Vogue hierarchy...?
𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘
Okay, Taylor oversaw the clothing, the shoes, the handbags.
Chloe was just in charge of make up and products.
That's like at Playboy, being in charge of the articles.
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀

𝐄𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘
They argued all the time, but I can't
imagine Chloe would actually...

The Mass-Spec's probably just dirty,
But I know what you told me about the sample from your mom's case --
𝐑𝐎𝐙𝐎𝐍𝐃𝐀
Stunned can I keep this..?
𝐃𝐀𝐋𝐋𝐀𝐒
