Today is the day.
I'm waiting in my car before I start my day in the photographer agency but it lasts 5 minutes. I'm ready, I'm about to do what I've always wanted to do, It's going to be a great day.
I get out from my car and walk in the building.
"Alyssa Steal?" A gorgeous woman welcomes me but doesn't let me introduce myself that she already directs me what to do. "Follow me, I'm going to show you where is your office and where you'll spend the most of your time during the 2 following months." She says and I look at her confused.
An office? Since when a photographer works in an office?
She stops walking when she notices that I wasn't following her anymore.
"What? You really thought that a trainee would take photos for the covers of the most famous magazines??" She says, giggling.
She doesn't wait for an answer and continues her way to "my" office which is in an open space. She opens the "door" and shows me a little space where I only can step twice.
"Here you'll work" She admits.
"What do I have to do?" I ask shyly.
"Editing, photoshopping and cleaning... That's it... Open the file 'trainee' on the computer" She says and walks off.
All the pictures I took and sent to the assistant was totally useless.
I start cleaning the desk a little so I can work but I can't just do what this woman just told me. I hate editing and I wanted to take photos. I know I can't just take photos for a cover but at least, I could photograph anything but not just staying in a supposed office and do the dirty work that no one likes.
I get up and go to the office of the assistant who welcomed me Saturday. Edward.
I knock and enter.
"Hi, I'm Alyssa Steal, the new trainee," I say and he nods. "I wanted to ask you if I could do something else than just editing because it isn't my first purpose and-" I try but he cuts me off.
"You can't. Now just get out"
I get out a little mad. Here where I'm supposed to work during the following weeks. Terrific!
"Bad day?" I hear someone says when I fall on my chair which scared me.
"Dammit!" I almost shout, holding my hand to my chest.
"Scuse me! I didn't want to scare you... My name's Rosalie but you can call me Rose" She introduces herself while holding out her hand to me which I take.
"Alyssa but you can call me Aly... Or Lyssa... or Lys... or whatever you want," I say and we both laugh.
We keep on talking about random stuff and telling our lives to each other. She's really nice, at first but she's really really really talkative! I almost know everything about her life. I know that she also works as a babysitter because she needs money to live because of her parents who banished her from home when she told them that she doesn't want to become a lawyer. She doesn't stop talking but I act like I'm listening to her, not to seem rude or anything because I like her.
After a while, Rose finishes her day and goes back home so I focus back on my work and start to do all what the woman asked me to do but the second I open the documents, the second I recognize the faces in the picture.
"Oh, god... Tell me that I'm just dreaming..." I whisper to myself so anyone can hear me.
It's a picture of Shawn and his girl who's hung around his neck. He's shirtless and she's in underwears. I could not ask for a better couple to edit!
Really?
This woman is following even in my job and I can't even complain!
I try to edit the picture for about an hour but something's wrong, I can't make it better or change some things. I tried many things to make it be on the level of a picture that we could put on a cover but it seems to be blurred or not bright enough. I tried with the other pictures that in the file but still nothing. The editing app definitely doesn't like her... such as I do.
After hours of work, I managed to do something but the result doesn't satisfy me at all so I go to Mayer's office and enter right after I knocked on the door.
I hold him the pictures that I printed out and he takes them.
"What is this?"
"I finished the editing of these pictures but something's wrong... I can't find out what's the problem... I tried many times-" I try to argue but he cuts me off.
"It isn't editing the problem... I remember that day, the lights were not working so these pictures have to be taken again." He says, flipping through the documents I gave him.
"Fine... I'll ask them to take them back..." I say while I'm walking back to my office but he stops me before I get out from his.
"Wait...The photographer who took these pictures doesn't work here anymore because of his health..." He puts off his glasses and pinches his nose as if he is thinking or facing a major problem. "You'll have to take them"
"Excuse me?" I'm literally shaking. "I-I can't... i mean I'm not a professional and the woman who welcomed me said that I can't do it" I try to argue but he doesn't even care.
"I decide what you do. Plus all the other photographers are busy tomorrow and we need the pictures as soon as possible... Don't be late."
