" He calls me and he is like - I still love you-, and I am like - That's exhausting... Like who doesn't... - "
The sound of someone coming in in heals interrupted Miranda's phone call.
"Miranda I am so sorry to bother you but since she left, I have brought you some girls that had applied for that job as you asked me. That's the book with their resumes. " Emily left the book in front of Miranda and got away as Miranda rolled her eyes.
"I've got to hang up if I want to have a second assistant quicker than three years. "She said with a clear tone of annoy in her voice. She closed her phone and opened the book in front of her.

" No... No... No...She should have applied for making coffee... No... Hell No... We are the fashion industry not some random taylors... " After an hour of throwing pages away, by the time the bin had been full she got the only two resumes that survived in front of her and shouted "Emily! Come here and bring me a coffee too! ".

Emily made a coffee in less than two minutes and headed swiftly to Miranda's  office.

" Call them and tell them to be here at five o'clock in the evening. That's all".

"A latte with extra milk for Dorothea! " Donna shouted and a girl showed up and took her drink.

She decided to leave in New York half if the year to provide her daughter the best education and in Holidays and her days of the went to Greece. Two good friends of her were running the hotel as always keeping touch with her for the decision making.

"Donna I am here to change you have a good evening" A girl had just appeared behind next to Donna.
"Thank you Inez. Good luck here! " Donna answered and got back to change clothes. She grabbed her back and then she stood still for a second. She had an idea. She got her sketchbook out of her purse and started to sketch. In her spare time she loved creating sketches of clothes. Her mom had called her that morning so she had in mind a long glamorous dress. Immersed in her sketchbook she headed the way out without looking up.

"Emily, go to Prada and take the new collection of purses. Now I'm heading to the school of the girls. I want them and and the purses at my office when I get back... "
A woman fell on Miranda while she was walking with her head down while writing something. Miranda looked at her derogatory.
"I am so sorry!" The woman got her head up and looked at Miranda. Her sketchbook had fallen to the ground and Miranda gave it a glance. She looked at it and then looked at the girl again. She was young beautiful and had a kind of style in her dressing.
"Are you working in fashion?"
Miranda asked. She laughed a bit and said:
"No, no, I am an amateur and that's my hobby. I'm just working at Starbucks. " From her attitude and style the girl understood that Miranda was into the fashion industry. And have her a scan again.
"Would you be interested in a job at Runaway? " Miranda asked as she looked at her watch.
" Where? What is that and who are you"she asked curiously. She liked creating her own things so she didn't watched any shows or read any fashion magazines.
" I am Miranda Priestly and Runaway is the most high and important fashion magazine. I guess you haven't heard of my either... So! I have a lot of things to do would you like to be my assistant or not!" Miranda asked as she was started to be annoyed due to the time she had spent in that conversation.
"Um yeah, but what would be my... "
"No, no no, you will bother someone else with your questions! " Miranda said. "Go at the Elias Clarke building. And what's your name? " Miranda asked.
"Donna, Donna Sheridan. " she was a bit confused but that chance she has just faced was incredible. Before she tried to tell something Miranda had already left.

"Nigel, a blondy with a bit of trash and glam style is headed there. Take her and explain her her job as the second assistant. Her name is Donna." She closed her cellphone and enter the school hall before Nigel had said anything.

___________________________________________

Donna had entered the building and was a but shocked while looking around and she didn't knew what to do or who to speak. Nigel spotted her and shouted at her.
"Hey, girl! Yes you! Come here! " Donna runed to him."Are you Donna? " she nodded yes. "I am Nigel. Come with me. "
The entered the elevator and went to his office.
"So in that job you will be the second  assistant of Miranda. You must do everything she wants anytime she wants! Understood?. She is very picky and have special opinion about everything. Your salary will be 1k per month. Any questions? " she scanned her from the top to the bottom. Miranda was right her sence of style was a bit complicated.
"Yes I one. I run a business, a hotel in Greece so I want some days of in Summer. " Nigel looked at her curiously.
"At June and July we work overtime to get ready the books for August, so Miranda can have that month of. But you will have to be ready to work from computer if anything happens. If you want something more you have to show us you deserve it. So do we have a deal? "
"Yes! Thank you very much." Donna answer. She was still in shock and her tone of voice was a bit weak.
"Do you used to work somewhere? " Nigel asked.
"Yes! " Donna said.
"Go and quite now. Be here in thirty minutes because Miranda will be back soon.
"Ok " she said running towards the door.
She got on her scooter and run to Starbucks to announce she is quitting her job. The she called her friend Sonja to take Sophie from school and delivere her to her Dance Class as she was headed back to her new job. When she arrived at the building she went on an elevator and with an other woman. Miranda was headed to the elevator the were. The girl suddenly pulled Donna out of the elevator as Miranda entered to it.
"Are you crazy? Who are you anyway that don't know that we never enter the elevator with Miranda. She doesn't like that. " She asked while getting to the other elevator with her.
" My name is Donna and I am her new assistant. " Donna was finding Miranda more strange and a bit of a bitch as the time passed.
"But how? I mean the interview was in two hours and you were not in it! " She was a bit confused and scared while looking at her. Her style was weird and she hopped she was not a second Andrea, she wouldn't handle that. Donna explained what happened quickly to Emily. When the elevator arrived she grabbed her and took her into the office. "That's your desk. You wil be here all the time and answer every phone call. If you miss one call you miss your job. At the morning be here hat half eight and always have with you the latte of Miranda. You have a break from 2:00 to 2:30.and you leave at eight, of course if she needs anything you stay as long as she says. " Donna had grabbed a piece of paper for taking notes and was too confused about everything. Miranda passed across them and threw her back to Donna's desk. Donna gave a desperate help look to Emily as she didn't know what to do.
"Hang it! " she shouted as she disappeared into Miranda's office and closed the door behind her.
