Evelyn Wintour is the grand daughter of Anna Wintour. Evelyn took over years ago and has been in charge of Vogue ever since. She is about thirty three, has platinum blonde hair, bright green eyes and she is very hands on, especially when the Met rolls around. Evelyn drops in the building pretty often since her office is just in Manhattan. This meeting we are discussing how to handle this years Met Gala theme which is Heavenly Bodies.

"Good afternoon everyone, let's get started." Evelyn stated when she walked in.

The room was packed with at least twenty or more people. Kendall gives her presentation about what the design of the gala should look like for the celebrities to walk. Evelyn tells her she wants her to be the set designer for the main carpet and one of the rooms for exclusive celebrity content.

This was Evelyn's first official invite given to an employee. I was beyond excited for Kendall but also extremely nervous because Evelyn only gives out three office employee tickets each year. With one ticket given away already I began to worry that I won't be receiving one, yet again for the fourth year in a row.

After Kendall gave her presentation, Jackson gives his on what the dinner room should look like and what musical artist should perform. Apparently he has a Beyoncé connection and she is going to perform. How the fuck does he have a Beyoncé connection but I had to spot him for his lunch a few weeks ago? As soon as Evelyn heard Beyoncé another ticket was gone. Only leaving one left.

"Okay, Beyoncé will be the main performer and I can get Gaga and Grande on the phone as well." Evelyn stated while standing at the head of the long conference table.

"Ariana is on tour till June. Try Taylor Swift." Stella said, causing the last ticket to practically fall into her Dior mini skirt lap.

The meeting lasted an hour and a half before we were all released and Evelyn left with her bodyguards. I wasn't upset that I didn't get invited but I was slightly disappointed. I headed back to my office to finish my article for this months magazine that was about all the past outfits celebrities wore to the Met and how it has made an impact on the fashion world.

When I finished it was four o'clock so I sent it over to Evelyn's email, she approves all of the magazine articles before they get printed. After I did that I started to pack my things up then head to Kendall's office to say good bye to her.

"Hey, just wanna drop in and congratulate you before I leave. I am so happy for you, Kenny!" I said going over to hug Kendall.

"Thank you, August! I am so sorry you didn't get one this year. I always hoped that when I got the chance to go, you would too." She frowned.

"It's okay! I'll be here to help you pick out the perfect outfit for it!"

I got home and saw Bucky still sitting on the couch with Alpine in his lap while he watched a black and white film. I sat down my phone and water bottle on the table before heading to my room to put my other stuff down when I heard Bucky call me back into the living room.

"August! Your phone is ringing!"

I looked at my phone and saw it was Evelyn.  Oh, no. The article. I hope it wasn't awful or boring because I can't afford to get fired. I quickly picked up the phone.

"Hello, Evelyn." Bucky muted the tv and peaked up from the couch.

"Hello, Augustine. I received the article you submitted for this months magazine and I wanted to call you to let you know that it was outstanding."

"Thank you very much. That means a lot to me, coming from you."

"I'm glad because it was so good that I want you to cover this years Met Gala in person." In that moment I thought I was going to pass out.
