"Alright listen up people, we have been asked to work on the designs for Billie Eilish's new project. That includes album cover, merch, and any promotional material. I've been told she's super hands on so we should expect a lot of direction from her," my boss say from the front of the conference room. "I'm going to let Alissa take the lead on this one, so she'll assign duties to you all."
The small start up I started working for has grown into a multi million dollar company, and over the years I have worked my way up the ranks becoming one of the top performers. I'm actually pretty surprised that Billie picked our company to work with since she has her own team in house.
Everyone is dismissed and returns back to their cubicles. I gather up all the material Billie's team sent over and start preparing for our first design meeting.
"Can you believe we're getting to work with Billie Eilish? I love her," my coworker Sarah says as she brings in the lunch that was ordered for the meeting.
"Not really," I say nonchalantly. I place info packets at every chair along with pens and notepads.
"Well after your meeting with them you should definitely pick me to be on your team."
"As long as you're going to work and not fan girl," I laugh.
Twenty minutes later our office is buzzing as Billie walks in with a few people from her team. Her hair is bright red and she's wearing all black as she strolls through the office looking effortlessly cool. I watch her through the glass walls of the conference room as our receptionist escorts them.
"Here we are," she says when she opens the door letting everyone inside.
"John it's good to see you buddy," my boss says to Billie's manager. They shake hands and he introduces Billie who removes her sunglasses and smiles. Our eyes meet and I can tell she is surprised to see me.
"Alissa is going to lead the team on your project. She's one of the best designers here," my boss brags.
"Oh I don't doubt it. We know Alissa quite well," John smiles.
"That's correct. Um shall we get started," I ask awkwardly.
We spend two hours bouncing around ideas and coming up with a concept. Billie plays a few songs to help us get a feel and her music is still amazing. She sketches some ideas from me that I gladly accept. The food and coffee is all gone by the time we wrap things up. My boss escorts everyone out, but Billie lingers behind.
"I had no idea you worked here," she smiles at me.
I'm trying to keep busy by picking up all the paper and trash from the table. "I bet you didn't," I smirk.
"Honestly," she chuckles. "It's really good to see you Alissa. You look really good."
I can feel her eyes on me and I get nervous. "Thanks um so do you."
