IT WAS ALMOST NOON and bella was stuck in traffic as she drove back into the city from burbank. she and jenna had been there all morning with fittings and to oversee production. as the traffic slowly moved, she kept herself distracted by listening to the radio, but all she could think about was not arriving at her office on time and how behind schedule she'll be.
being that the runway show was in two weeks, the pressure was on and bella felt it, sometimes she felt it severely. bella loves her job, but during runway season, everything moves at a fast-pace. she tried to take it easy as jenna normally advised her to, but she couldn't slow down because once she had finished something, another thing came up.
after 30 minutes of stalled traffic, bella arrived and hurriedly walked to the elevator. once she arrived up to her floor, she walked into the office and into a meeting she was 10 minutes late for. jenna was already sitting as bella took a seat next to her. jenna turned to look at bella and scribbled something down on her notepad.
you okay? how'd you get here so late?
bella looked at the note and grabbing a pen, scribbled a response on her notepad; 30 mins of stalled traffic. i feel the same: exhausted.
look, after this, let's go grab some lunch. you have to eat something before you pass out. right now, eat a granola bar or drink a cherry coke. you can't pass out on me, we need you and blondie will kill me.
i'll be fine. don't worry.
isabella, take it easy. i mean it.
alright.

during lunch, bella was a bit quiet as she dipped her fries in some ketchup and took a bite from her burger. "how'd you get to the meeting later than i did?" jenna said, swirling her straw in her lemonade.
"i took the freeway." bella said.
"i did too." jenna chuckled.
"you left earlier than i did." bella softly smiled as she took a sip from her cherry coke. "just to think we have to head back there later."
"if you want, you can stay behind and get some rest. i'll head over there." jenna sighed. "you deserve it, you've hauled ass all week."
