THE ASSISTANT-EDITOR

Betty went to lunch with Amanda and when she came back she got all the work she needed to get done by the time for the features meeting. "Hey Betty! Are you ready for the features meeting?" Daniel said as he walked out of his office. "Yes I am Daniel. I have everything set."

"That's great. See, you will be a perfect editor." He said smiling.

"Thank you, Daniel." She smiled at him, her eyes locked with his for a moment, and then he broke it "ok, well, we should probably head there now." He put his hand out and pulled her up and they walked to the meeting together.

"Ok, everybody, as you remember Betty proposed a great idea for the cover and she has a few updates for us and then we will go into the other features. Betty…" Betty stood next to Wilhelmina. "Right, thank you Wilhelmina; I was able to get in contact with Angelina and she was really excited about the idea, so she is on board and she said she can come in tomorrow. And I got this great designer, Yochi Ben, she designs gorgeous gowns and she said she could design the dress by tonight for the shoot. And I already spoke to Michael discussing the photo concepts for the shoot." Betty said with a smile. Daniel watched with admiration of how great she's doing. He realized that he made the right decision with letting her become editor.

"That's great, Betty. Now, did you get the time that she wants the shoot?" "Oh, yes, she said can make it at 3."

"Ok. Great! You will be writing the story, so make sure you set a time before or after the shoot to speak to her."

"Really?" Betty said with a cheery voice. "It was your idea. You write the story."

"Thank you!" Betty hugged Wilhelmina. The whole room stared in shock and fear. Marc nudged Betty "Betty, you don't ever hug Wilhelmina."

"Oh, right! Sorry." She just smiled at Wilhelmina. "Ok. We will wipe that from memory. Now, features." Everyone still slightly in shock, continued with their ideas. After the meeting Daniel went up to Betty, "you were great, Betty. So, how is your first day going? A lot of changes, huh?" "Yeah, I guess there are." She smiled.

It was quitting time and as Daniel was leaving his office he stopped by Betty's desk. "So Betty, I forgot to tell you today I still owe you dinner for beating me in the race the other day." "Oh, that sounds nice." "Maybe we can go soon. I will set up the time. By the way, I'm really proud of you; about the job, and how you managed everything today. You did great!" Daniel said with pride.

"Thank you Daniel. That's really sweet." She said happily.

"So, uh, we should go. I'll drop you off at home." "Ok, great."

Daniel walked Betty to the door. Hilda opened the door. "Hey Betty. Oh, hi Daniel."

"Hi Hilda!" Betty and Daniel greeted together. "Hey, Hilda I'll be in a minute."

"Oh, right." Hilda said with a smile as she looked at Daniel.

"Daniel, are you sure you don't want to come in and stay for a bit?" Betty said with hopeful eyes.

"Uh…thanks Betty, but I think I'll just see you tomorrow. It's gonna be a crazy day, so I should let you rest."

"Ok then, good night Daniel." She kissed him on the cheek. "What was that for, Betty?" Daniel said as his face got slightly warmer.

"For being so nice today."

"Well, good night Betty! I'll see you tomorrow!" Daniel walked to his car with a smile on his face.
