Chapter 1
"Los Angeles? Why are we going to Los Angeles?" Betty asked as she followed Daniel out of his office.
"Because I have a business meeting," Daniel replied. To tell the truth, he wasn't all that thrilled about having to fly across the country just to see a new designer.
"I know that, but don't they usually bring the meetings to you?"
Daniel sighed and turned to face his assistant, "This designer has got some of the biggest items to come out this year. Mode needs him in this magazine and if that means that I have to fly completely across country to get him, then that's what I'll do"
Betty understood Daniel's reason to be annoyed. He was, after all, the editor and chief of the biggest fashion magazine ever. He shouldn't have to fly across country to get a designer in his magazine. Still, she couldn't help smiling to herself as he turned around and started walking.
"Los Angeles," she began following him, "The furthest I've been from Queens is New Jersey." She couldn't wait, "When are we leaving? How long will we be there? Are we taking a plane? I've never been on a plane before…" She stopped and looked at Daniel, "I've heard they can be pretty scary."
Daniel turned to look at his assistant. Her face was quickly becoming very white, "You know, they're very safe Betty. Much safer than cars," He was starting to worry. It wasn't like Betty to let her fears show like this. Then just as quickly as she'd turned white, she stood up straight and flashed him her greatest smile.
"You're right. I've got nothing to be afraid of," with that she turned and headed back to her desk.
Daniel smiled to himself. This was going to be an interesting trip.
