I do not own anything from DWP, and I am not making any money from this. I have only used DWP characters for inspiration.
Andy has worked for Miranda for about five months and this begins before Andy ever went to Paris.
Thanks to my friend Rachel for encouraging me to write.
The next morning Miranda was introduced to Emily's replacement at the elevators as she was getting off. She was spewing orders to Emily as they marched down the hall way. "Emily, why in god's name is that man following us around?" "Oh … Uhm … Miranda this is who will be my replacement." Miranda stopped dead in her tracks. "Excuse me?" "John, ma'am. My name is John and I …" Miranda glared at him then Emily. Miranda marched into her inner office leaving Emily and John standing in the hallway. "Emily. Door." Oh god Emily knew this was the end. She turned to John. "You just had to speak didn't you?" She ran to Miranda's door then tried to casually walk into the inner sanctum. "Yes Miranda." Miranda glared at her. "He is the best candidate. He has a college degree in Art and Design. He already knows a lot about the fashion industry. He is a fast learner." "So it seems since he is already talking to me like I am his best friend. Either he is not a fast learner or you are not teaching him right. That's all." Emily turned and ran. "Coffee."
"Get Nigel." "Does she give orders like that all the time?" Emily just glared at John. Emily picked up the phone and punched in a few numbers. "She wants you now." Within a few minutes Nigel came sauntering into the Dragon's Lair. He started past Emily's desk when he stopped dead. Turning slowly Nigel arched an eyebrow at Emily. She glared at John. "My replacement if Miranda does not fire him today." Nigel started laughing. He stuck out his hand to John. "Nigel, Head of the Art Department." Emily sat in shock. "She's waiting for you!"
Nigel smiled and walked into the inner sanctum. "Head of the Art Department? I thought that was where you are going?" Emily continued to glare at John and rolled her eyes.
Nigel walked over to Miranda's desk. "For me?" Miranda shot fire at him. "Door." Nigel turned to shut the door. "A man. She hired a bloody man." "You haven't told her I was going to take over as Editor in Chief." "No I have not." She growled. "Miranda what is wrong with her hiring a man? Do you not trust me to take care of your baby? You know I care about Runway just as much as you do." Miranda stood up and started pacing in front of the window. "Oh no. You're pacing in front of the window." Miranda whipped around. Nigel smiled. "You always do that when you're worried. So tell me what's wrong?" "Two men heading up Runway? I just never thought. To tell you the truth I was concerned about putting a man to lead Runway, but you were right. You love Runway as much as I do. She is our babe. You are the best choice to replace me." "Well, give Emily's man a chance. Only you are not going to be able to call him Emily." "Says who?" Nigel broke out laughing and Miranda just had to grin. Her life was so topsy-turvy. Nigel looked out at Emily's desk again. "Besides he is gorgeous!" "Nigel! That's all. "Nigel strolled out of the office with a huge grin on his face. "Nice to meet you John I am sure we will get along just fine."
Emily watched Nigel leave, and just what did he mean by that comment?
