Avie's POV.
Me and Shelby came in early as usual. After having coffee and going through some files, we chatted up a little while before we got started with our jobs.
"What else do we need for the show? Haven't we missed out on something?" I asked and Shelby smiled.
"No worries. All's set. We're ready in fact." She said and glanced at the clock that ticked 8:30 am and she turned towards me.
"She's late" I knew who she was talking about. Its expected she'll come in late and be a pain in the neck. I'm very well prepared for that.
I patiently waited till my door came busting open around 10 am in the morning and along came Emily with a smug on her face.
"The princess decided to show up." I said to her smiling and she remained still with her hands across her chest.
"What do I need to do?" She said almost wanting to choke on her own words.
"First you need to be reminded that we don't tolerate late comers and as for your first job, please get the rack labeled set Z down in the basement. Its all set up and we need to have a run through the designs." I said calmly and then I handed her a very well sealed enveloped addressed to Elle magazine. She harshly took it from my hands and looked at me.
"And this?" she asked still with the arrogant tone in her voice.
"You have to bring that to post mail man at exactly 10:30. If you fail to deliver that then just give it back at the end of the day. After you bring up the rack set of clothes, then I'll give you your other tasks for this day. You may get started now" I said calmly as she bolts away stomping out of my office.
Shelby just shook her head and looked at me.
"Too much to ruin the morning" she commented and I just smiled.
"She ruined hers already" I said and got back on my desk and focused in my paper works.
It only takes at least 20minutes for her task to be executed but the clock ticks past 11 and still she isn't here but of course I knew it so it didn't bother me much. I just got off the phone with Landon who was coming back tomorrow from his trip and he brings good news for he had just invested in yet another business venture which is holding the biggest stocks to a chain of five star hotels.
We were talking about how excited he was and how happy I am for his achievements which didn't surprise me cause I knew very well that he'd always be great at what he does. I got off the phone just in time Emily came back with the rack of clothes.
She threw back the envelope in my desk which obviously meant she didn't give it to the post man. Shelby stood up and took off the cover of the rack to find out the clothes were torn and obviously intentionally cut off that made it impossible to repair or to use. She eyed Emily in a silent death glare but kept her calm as she faced me. I smiled at her.
"Its okay Shelby" I said as she excused herself to get some files over the other room.
"So I see you didn't get to deliver this and managed very well enough to rip off the clothes." I said sounding unaffected. She raised and eye brow at me as she keeps her hands on her chest before she released a sarcastic laugh.
"You expect me to comply and kiss your ass, think again!" she said and I just smiled at her.
"So your next job would be to assist Callie on her photo shoot at 1 pm. Report back here after the shoot. You very well know to keep your paws off her." I said and before she could even say a word I took a stand.
