Mia was sitting in her small office at her small desk when Ms. Walker called, making her jump out of her seat in surprise.
"Mia!"
"Coming!"
Mia quickly collects herself and the papers in front of her. Her heels click loudly as she rushes to Ms. Walker's much nicer office. She leaves a quick knock on her door before entering.
Maven Walker was a nice woman in her late 30s but very serious and a definite workaholic. She was a delight when she was off the clock but on the clock she was a handful. Mia didn't blame her, she held a very important job in the magazine and she couldn't even imagine the stress she was under.
Ms. Walker sat laid back in her office chair with a familiar brown leather portfolio book in her boney hands. Sitting in one of the chairs in from of her desk was Mr. JamesAnthony. And yes. That was his first name, one word, and that's what he wanted to go by. He was Ms. Walker's boss. Which made Mia very nervous. Especially not knowing what on earth was happening and why Ms. Walker had her portfolio.
"Sit, Mia." Ms. Walker tells her intern.
Mia gathers her self together again and takes the seat next to JamesAnthony.
"Ms. Kersley, nice to see you again." JamesAnthony tells her. Mia now notices another copy of her portfolio in his hands.
Mia's heart jumped in her throat.
"You as well, Mr. JamesAnthony." Mia tries to speak with confidence.
No one spoke for minutes after that. While Mia's two bosses sat coop and collected, Mia sat nervous with butterflies in her stomach.
"Ms. Kersley, I really like your work and I'd like to offer you a position as a full time photo editor and as needed photographer." Mr. JamesAnthony tells Mia finally looking at her.
Mia is stunned momentarily. Her jaw slacks open and she looks at Ms. Walker, who was fighting back a smile.
"Thank you, Sir. I really appreciate your decision and giving me this opportunity."
He smiles and closes her portfolio.
"Great. I'm going to have some paperwork for you to fill out and Ms. Walker will hold a meeting regarding your new title and job description. But I would like you to start as soon as possible." Mr. JamesAnthony stands and hold out his hand for Mia to shake.
She quickly stands and shakes her now bosses hand.
"Of course, Sir."
"Great, there is a shoot I would need you to attend to. Saturday, the 12th at 7 pm, and I will send you the details." He adds as he starts to exit.
"Saturday the 12th as in, next week?"
"Yes. Is that going to be an issue, Ms. Kersley?" Mr. JamesAnthony asks, almost daring her to say it was an issue.
"No sir, I will be there."
Fuck.
