Quinn looked up, admiring the industrial looking building. She hoped that she would one day make it to this point in her life. She never figured it was going to be thanks to Noah Puckerman's usual sexcapades. But somehow that, and her job interview landed her a job at Simon&Shuster.
She pulled open the glass door with one last deep breath. She could do this. Her high heels clicked against the marble floor, her feet taking her to a front desk where a professional looking woman sat. The woman looked up and smiled kindly at Quinn, and was just about to open her mouth to introduce herself when the phone rang. The woman held up her finger and answered the phone.
"Simon and Shuster's anaheim office, please hold." The woman gently set down the phone and looked up at Quinn.
"How may I help you?" The woman asked.
"I'm Quinn Fabray and I'll be starting today?" The woman's eyes lit up in recognition.
"Oh Quinn! I'm Tina Cohen-Chang. I spoke to you on the phone yesterday." Quinn nodded. Somewhere between all the nonsense and silliness of unpacking with Brittany, Santana, and Rachel, S&S had called and told her she had gotten the job.
"Right! It's nice to meet you" Quinn said politely reaching her hand over the desk to shake the woman's hand. Tina stood and waved her over.
"Let me show you to your office." Tina told her kindly. Quinn glanced skeptically back at the phone where someone was on hold.
"oh that?" Tina said, following Quinn's eyes. "They'll call back if they really need to get in touch." Quinn laughed at the girls nonchalance towards her job.
"I must say, I'm really impressed. The boss doesn't usually hire right after one interview." Tina said conversationally, leading the way down a hallway.
"I'm really glad I got the job now." Quinn laughed. Tina stopped suddenly and turned slightly to the right.
"This is the break room" Tina gestured to a small room with a few tables, a microwave, a fridge, and even a water cooler. "I'm guessing you want to put your lunch in there?" Tina glanced down at Quinn's messenger type briefcase where a brown paper bag was slightly sticking out. She blushed at the bag recalling Brittany's insistence.
"And you're sure I have to be in this afternoon?" Quinn had walked into the kitchen to Brittany pouting, talking on the phone.
"No of course, I'll be there. Alright see you soon." Brittany hung up her phone and frowned at Quinn.
"You have to go to work, don't you?" Quinn asked her friend, adjusting the blazer she was wearing. Brittany nodded sadly.
"Look at you, lookin all smart and sexy!" Brittany admired her friend, taking her hand and spinning her around to really admire her outfit. Quinn laughed and allowed Brittany to do her thing.
"So I look ok?" Quinn double checked, looking a herself a bit self consciously. Brittany made a point of cat calling. Then returning to what she was doing.
"Britt what are you doing?" Quinn asked as Brittany started to drop things into a brown paper bag that had a big 'Q' written on it.
"Making you lunch" Brittany said like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"yes, but why?" Quinn asked, it was her first day she was already going to be an outsider. No need to set up a marquee to let everyone know.
"Because lunch is a very important meal and I know you. You'll end up skipping it. So I made you a lunch and now you have no excuse-"
"-but"
"-No Quinn. You are not going to argue with me on this." Brittany said firmly. Quinn smiled at her best friend and nodded. Brittany was right, she would probably end up skipping on lunch, blaming it on nerves.
