28 mintues.
I had been in this damn office for 28 minutes.
You know why?
Because I was getting scolded. For being late.
18 going on 8.
I am a child.
"BEING LATE IS AN ABSOLUTE NO! WE HAVE RULES HERE ALYSSA! AND RULES ARE NOT MEANT TO BE BROKE, DO YOU EVEN KNOW WHAT RULES ARE?!"
I just stared up at Jess. This was the first time I had ever done something bad or been late. Why was she freaking out so much?
I was on the verge of punching Jess in her stupid little face when my favorite little gay friend ever came to my rescue.
"Jess. Come on babe. This is the first time Lyss has ever done something bad. She has never broken a rule here, and is always on her best behavior. You need to just chillax babe."
I love you Arnie.
"YOU EXPECT ME TO JUST RELAX ARNIE!?!?!? FASHION WEEK IS IN TWO WEEKS AND I NEED ALL HANDS ON DECK. WE DO NOT SUPPORT TARDYNESS. IT IS AGAINST THE RULES!"
I swear I was going to ring her neck.
"Look Jess, I know you're stressed, but babe come on, we all are. So for you to take it out on Alyssa is just wrong. Especially since this is her first time ever breaking a rule. What you need to do is go get a coffee, come back sit in the lounge and just relax for an hour or so. You need to just chill babe. I got it under control."
Oh my God. I loved Arnie.
Jess took a deep breath and nodded her head in agreement.
"Fine." She replied leaving the room.
The minute she left I jumped up and grabbed Arnie into the largest bear hug I have ever given.
"ARNIE I LOVE YOU!" I screeched
"Oh please. Don't you: 'Arnie I love you' me" he snorted
I rasied my eyebrow questioning him
"Give me the deets! I wanna know why you were so late!"
I rolled my eyes
"There are no 'deets'. I simply did not hear my alarm. Plus with my clumsiness. It just wasen't a good morning."
Of couse i left out one little detail. You know the whole meeting Louis Tomlinson thing.
"Oh please, I'm not stupid. I want details!"
Man. Arnie was insistent.
I smirked slightly.
"There are no details. Now I have to get to work befor Jess rips my head off."
Arnie shook his head.
"I will get to the bottom of this."
"Whatver you say Arnie, Whatever you say." I stated taking my coat off and sitting at my desk.
I opened my laptop that was sitting on my desk. I logged onto my email where my daily task list would be awaiting in my inbox.
After printing out my task list and receiving it from the printer I started off with the first task:
CALL FASHION FORWARD MODELING AGENCY. ASK TO SPEAK WITH JOHN. MAKE SURE THE 12 MODELS WILL BE HERE AT 3.
I could almost here Jess shouting that at me.
I picked up the landline phone that sat at my desk and dialed the agencys number. After two rings a lady who I presumed was the receptionist, picked up the phone.
"Fashion Forward Modeling Agency this is Debbie, how may I help you"
"Hi, This is Alyssa James with Vogue magazines, may I speak with John?"
"Of course, yes. Please hold while we transfer your call."
After a few short seconds of annoying music a males voice came on the phone.
"Hello. This is John Redkin"
"Hello Mr. Redkin this Alyssa James, I am calling on the behalf of Jessica Livingsworth of Vogue Magazines."
"Ah, yes of course, of course. How may I help you Ms. James?"
"Well I am calling to make sure the 12 models will be here at our office by 3 pm"
There was sounds of shuffling papers and then I heard Mr.Redkin clear his throat.
"There is no problem, the 12 models will be there by 3 pm sharp."
"Ok! Great, Fantastic. Thank you for your time Mr,Redkin"
"It is no problem at all Ms.James, Have a lovely day."
"As to you Mr.Redkin."
I hung up the phone and crossed the first of many tasks off my list.
I texted Jess telling her about the models and then set off to do my other taks.
This was going to be a long day.
