¨Hey six! How´s the new living arrangement?¨ Nigel had made his way inside the outer office since he had a meeting in ten minutes with Miranda. The woman had come back from her meeting after lunch and was alone in her own office adjusting some articles.
It was still a couple of hours for her to collect the girls so she´d started with her task of arranging Miranda´s expenses chart to sent it to her accountant. She´d been so concentrated that she jumped when Nigel showed up
¨God! Nigel! Do you want to give me a heart attack!?¨ Andy said while holding a hand to her heart
¨it wasn´t even that scary!¨ Nigel said while chuckling
¨Well, Liisa keeps on making it her mission to keep on scaring me so now so i´m always on high alert.¨ Andy said chuckling. She´d moved to a new apartment with her best friend and sister from another mister who´d moved to work there.
¨Well, from the little you´ve told me about her it´s no wonder she enjoys scaring people¨ Nigel said chuckling
¨Yeah, she´s lucky I love her, otherwise I would beat the crap out of her¨ Andy said laughing. She knew it was impossible even if she did hit her since her friend was highly strong but had the heart of a cute and playful kitten once you knew her.
Unbeknownst to them Miranda had heard every single word whilst appearing unaware. Who the hell was Andrea living with? Why was she saying that she love this woman? She would not share her Andrea!.
¨How´s she adjusting? What happened with that workmate¨ Nigel asked seriously. He´d met Liisa and even he had been worried about her situation with her aggressive workmate stalker.
¨Andrea¨ Miranda had had enough, she was pissed, needed information and Nigel seemed to have plenty.
¨Yes Miranda?¨ Andy went into the office with her pen and pad ready and was slightly shocked at the glare directed at her.
¨If you´re done gossiping tell Nigel to get in and get us coffee, that´s all¨ the older woman said making Andy hurry out before sending Nigel in
¨Hello Miranda¨ Nigel said walking in quite amused. He had an ink as to what his dear friend was angry about. He knew both women had feelings for each other and had tried to play cupid but those two could be really hard headed
¨Close the door and sit down Nigel¨ Miranda glared at her unfazed friend. Sometimes she hated her long time friend
Upon closing the door and sitting down Nigel had decided to bit the bullet
¨What´s wrong dear? ¨ he asked
¨Well, nothing would be wrong if my employees decided to work instead of talking about their romantic status¨ Miranda angrily and tried to hide the tears in her eyes by staring at the photos they needed to discussed
¨Oh trust me dear, if it had been Andrea´s romantic status in our chat you wouldn´t be mad at all¨ Nigel said smirking at his friend making her look up strangely
¨What? How can I not be mad about what you were speaking about!?¨ Miranda said unbelievingly
¨Why would you be mad about us talking about the problems a woman you don´t even know is having at her new job? ¨ Nigel was confused now. Miranda hadn´t even met Liisa
¨I don´t care about Andrea´s partner´s problems!¨ Miranda said strongly and turned to him almost crying. Nigel was about to answer but was stopped by Andy´s entrance to deliver their coffee.
¨Miranda, is everything alright? Are the girls ok? What´s wrong?¨ Andrea asked Miranda rushing towards the editor´s desk at the sight of tears in those beautiful blue eyes
¨That´s none of your concerns Andrea¨ Miranda said strongly but regretted it the second it came out at the look in the brunet´s eyes. She couldn´t very well tell her assistant that she was angry as hell at the thought of the woman she loved deeply loving someone else and already living together
Andy had unshed tears in her eyes and was about to leave but was stopped by Nigel who decided to take matters to his own hands
¨Ok stop right there you two!¨ He said actually mad at both stubborn women giving them a glare that shocked them.
¨Six, who is Liisa?¨ Nigel started his questioning. Miranda needed to hear this and not ruined a love that was already about to come to light
Miranda glared at him but said nothing, she couldn´t help but be intrigued at her friend´s attitude
¨What? Liisa? She´d my best friend and roommate¨ Andy said with a lone tear falling from her eye. She was hurt by Miranda´s hard dismissal but was trying to hold back her hurt
¨Why are you two roommates? ¨ Nigel kept going
¨Nigel I have no intentions on having any information about my assistants love life. You´re dismissed Andrea¨ Miranda said narrowing her eyes but was shocked at Nigel holding the younger woman by the arm so she wouldn´t leave
¨Nigel what is this about? You already know this! She moved to work here and I couldn´t afford a place on my own so she let me have her spare room¨ Andy asked but answered anyways. She felt really confused and was hating being put in this situation. It´d been way to long since she´d been on the end of Miranda´s indifference and vicious words
¨Now, what is she to you?¨ Nigel asked finally while holding Andy by the arm and shocking Miranda who was left speechless.
¨She´s like my sister. What´s the matter here!?¨ Andy asked already tired of this and really angry now ¨You know what? Whatever! I´m gone, this is absurd. Let go of me Nigel!¨ Andy finished while forcing Nigel´s arm away before turning back and leaving the room with tears on her eyes shocking both people in the room; they´d never seen her so angry
¨Miranda, seriously? You´re allowing her to walk away?¨ Nigel said almost screeching at the editor with indignation
Miranda for her part was staring speechless at the doors where Andrea had left ¨I… What…?¨ she said before looking back at Nigel unsure of what had just happened
¨You either pull yourself together or you´re losing the most loving and amazing person you´ll ever meet because of a ridiculous insecurity about someone who you don´t know and is actually a good person and heart sister to Six¨ Nigel was almost screaming at her while pointing towards the elevators
Miranda stared at him for a minute and jumped from her sit before rushing to the elevator only to get angry at how long it was taking for it to get there
¨Fuck it!¨ Miranda thought before taking her high heels off and rushing towards the stairs and running as fast as she could through the seventeen floors
No one had ever seen the Dragon Lady taking the stairs, running, without her footwear or screaming at anyone who got on her way
Andy was making her way out of the elevator crying completely at how evil Miranda had shown herself towards her personal life and, mostly, angry at Nigel´s abuse of his own knowledge about her life
She´d been about to cross the door but found herself stopped by a shocking voice that almost screamed her name
¨ANDREA!¨ Miranda almost screamed when making her way out of the stairs door and all but sprinted towards the younger woman making every single person stop with their hearts on their throats at the sight and tone of voice of the vicious Devil in Prada. They turned to the younger woman expecting to see blood since no one had ever gotten the Dragon to speak louder than a whisper
Andy turned with tears down her eyes to see Miranda running towards her without her high heels and stopping right in front of her to hold her forearm and locking eyes with her.
¨Miranda…¨ Andy started confused at the sight of the woman she loved out of breath and in such a breathless state in front of a place full of people which could very much ruin the woman´s reputation.
¨No… Andrea… Please…¨ Miranda started talking while trying to catch her breath. She´d basically run down seventeen flights of stairs; thankfully Andy humored her while she got her breath back
Unbeknownst to them there were people staring and filming them
¨Please don´t leave me, I'm so sorry my Andrea, I thought you were dating that woman¨ Miranda whispered which, thankfully to her wasn´t caught by many people
¨Why would that matter? And you could´ve simply asked me¨ Andy whispered back with a shocked look but holding the white haired goddess´s hand
¨Because I don't like to share darling¨ Miranda said with a few tears running down her eyes. Andy was about to enquire what she meant but was stopped by Miranda´s lips on her own making her forget everything
People all around them started cat calling, whispering and cheering at the sight of their Ice Queen as a person and, most of all, in love
The pair separated after a few minutes and joined their foreheads while getting their breathing back
¨Miranda, are you sure?¨ Andy whispered softly while locking eyes with her beautiful fashion queen
¨I´m in love with you my darling, I was truly scared about losing you to someone else because i´m a coward my love¨ Miranda whispered back with a few tears on her own while staring right at Andrea
¨My love, if you were a coward you wouldn´t have run down 17 flights of stairs in order to kiss me in front of every single person at the ground floor¨ Andy said pecking her softly which made Miranda wake up
Turning around with widened eyes to stare at every single person that had seen her display of affection towards her very much assistant and simply said ¨Oh god¨ while blushing and turning to hiding her face on Andrea´s neck while crying at her lack of discretion
Andrea, in the meantime, made eye contact with everyone in front of her with tears in her eyes and simply said ¨Please¨ while looking around.
Josh, one of the security guys, along with Roy made their way to them and shielded them before turning to everyone else.
They stopped a second before Roy actually said loudly ¨Who ever has seen Ms Priestly happy raise your hand¨ surprising everyone along with both women mostly since no one raised their hand which made Miranda tear up even more.
At the visual response Roy continued ¨Whoever wants to see her happy please raise your hand¨ which made every single person raise their hands. Some of them even raised both their hands which made Miranda put her hand on her mouth in shock
At this Roy made the last and most powerful statement/question ¨ Everyone in favor of letting this episode be the beautiful event it was and not be told outside please raise your hand¨
Andrea and Miranda both started tearing even more at the sight of everyone´s support and hugged thightly while listening to the cheering on the background. After a few seconds Miranda pulled away and locked eyes with Andy while smiling and spoke strongly
¨Andrea, you´re fired¨ this made Andy along with most people laugh since Andy had hugged Miranda and twirled them around before pecking her lips
¨Yes Miranda¨
