A/N: here's the next chapter! Okay so I decided to post the first two chapters at the same time just because I want you guys to get a better idea about this story
Summer rushed into her office, she was way past late and she didn't want her boss to get mad at her. "Ugh, why didn't I hear my alarm?" she cursed herself as she entered her office, it was a big wide-spaced room that was filled with every copy of every fashion magazine, Summer was very dedicated to her job and her office reflected her loyalty. Her office was big enough for two so her secretary's desk was right across hers unlike the other secretaries who had their office outside.
"Morning, Shannon!" Summer said greeting her secretary as she dropped her bag on her desk.
"Good morning, Ms. Roberts-"
"Shannon, how many times do I have to tell you, it's Summer." She said as she was fixing her papers.
"Uhh right sorry, Summer, Ms. Anderson would like to have a word with you."
Summer's head shot up. "Melissa?" Melissa Anderson was the editor-in-chief of the magazine so she was also Summer's boss.
"I hope she's not too pissed that I came a little late this morning."
"Summer, it's half-past eleven." Shannon said pointing towards the clock above her desk.
"Oh, shit!" Summer said panicking. "Okay, I'll go over there right now and-" Summer stopped as she saw Shannon's things in boxes beside her desk.
"A-Are you leaving?" Summer asked still staring at the boxes.
"Oh, no it's, uhh…a long story, Ms. Anderson will explain it to you." Shannon said opening the door for her.
"Oh, shoot right I'm late." Summer said rushing out the door. "Thanks Shannon!"
Summer ran to her boss's office and spotted Melissa's secretary in the desk in front of her office.
"Hey Terri!" Summer greeted.
"Summer! Melissa's expecting you, she's got some big news." Terri said beaming at her. She was a very cheerful person who was good at making you feel better when you've got a bad day. "Go right in."
"Okay thanks." Summer said opening the big glass door.
"Melissa?" Summer said entering the enormous office. Melissa's office was really glamorous. It had racks of the newest clothes that would be featured in the magazine and just like Summer, she had every copy of their magazine.
"Yes, come in Summer." Melissa said. She was a tall woman in her 30's and she still looked so young. She had perfectly white skin and light brown hair and she always dressed like a celebrity. She was everyone's idol and she wasn't like every other fashion editor who had a nasty personality, she was very down-to-earth and everyone loved working with her.
"Have a seat." Melissa said as she sat on her own seat. "So you're probably wondering why I called you here."
"Does this have to do with the next issue?" Summer asked as she sat on the seat in front of Melissa's desk.
"No, actually did you notice Shannon packing her things?" Melissa asked.
"Oh my god, you're replacing her?" Summer asked , her eyes going wide. "Shannon is not just my secretary, she's like a close friend of mine already, you can't fire her." Summer pleaded.
"Summer, relax." Melissa said smiling. "We're not loosing a fellow employee, in fact we're gaining one."
"I-I'm afraid I don't understand." Summer said confused. "What are you talking about?"
"I have recruited a new editor, she's smart, talented, graduated from one a really great university and most importantly, she is just as passionate about fashion as we are." Melissa said. "She has just accepted my offer to be a Chic magazine editor and your new partner, that's why Shannon will have her desk outside your office, to make room for her."
"Oh, alright." Summer said, she started to get excited, she will have a new partner and hopefully they would come up with great ideas for the magazine. "When will she start?"
"She'll be arriving here on Thursday from Athens, so she'll start on Friday." Melissa replied. 'And as her new partner I'm counting on you to show her around."
"Yeah, of course." Summer said getting up from her seat. "Can't wait to meet her."
"Me too," Melissa said smiling of excitement. "Something tells me that this will be the start of a very successful partnership."
