Tessa James walked into the Houston mall and made her way to the MAC store. She has been working there since she was 17 years old and has worked herself to a level three technician, the highest level you could be and an assistant manager. Every since she was a little girl, she's loved makeup and everything about it. She knew it was her passion and what she wanted to do. She had her venti iced caramel macchiato in her hand with her black matte gel manicure flashing She had on black leggings with a black v-neck shirt on. Her medium length brown hair had soft curls today. It was Tuesday, which meant she had to open and close the store. It was the longest day of her week, but she loved it. She loved helping the customers find what they wanted and she loved teaching them what she knew.

"Good morning Whitney!" she said cheerfully meeting one of her favorite co-workers. "Morning, Tess. How's it going?" "Oh, you know just another day." The two shared a laugh and got caught up on each other's lives as they got the store ready for the day. 


Tessa was on her lunch break when she got a call from a number she didn't recognize. "Hello?" "Hello. Is this Tessa James?" "Yes, this is she. May I ask who's calling?" "Yes, this is Sarah Mitchell. I'm friends with Ruth Mayer. You worked with her on one of her shoots recently as a makeup artist and stylist?" "Oh, yes. I did," Tessa replied. "I saw your work and loved it! And Ruth had nothing but wonderful things to say about you! I was wondering if you were available to do a photoshoot next week? It's going to be a three day shoot, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday." Tessa thought for a moment. Her boss was pretty good at giving her any days she needed off, especially if it was for a shoot. "Yes, I can do next week." "Great, I'll call you tomorrow with more details." "Ok, sounds great. Thank you so much for this opportunity!" "Absolutely, Tessa. I look forward to working with you! Talk to you soon!" 


Maybe this could be her big break?
