THE BIG DAY

Betty walked into work the next day wearing a red halter dress that flattered all her curves. As she walked she drew all the attention, like she was one of the models. She grabbed her messages from Amanda and headed to her desk. Daniel walked over by his office just as Betty got there.

"Betty. Wow! You look amazing" he said as he spun her to get a good look." "Thank you, Daniel" she said sweetly. "I…uh...we…I'll be back in a minute…" He was so Betty-struck that he was at a loss for words. He came back after a minute and went into his office. "Do you want me to get you anything? Coffee or something?"

"Uh, no Betty, that's ok. How about you come to the photo shoot with me, after all it was your great idea. I'm sure you'll have a lot of fun." "Ok, great. Thank you, Daniel."

"Ok. So, I will meet you down there later." A frown came across her face. "What's wrong, Betty?" he asked concerned

"I just thought we were going to go down together." Betty said with a sad smile.

"Oh, right. Uh, well, I have to get a few things done first but…uh, ya I mean, I guess. Meet me by the elevators 20 minutes before and we'll go from there."

"Ok." She smiled and clapped her hands excitedly and walked out. Daniel couldn't help but laugh. He stood by the door, "by the way Betty?" "Yes, Daniel?" "I thought you weren't my assistant anymore. Why are you sitting here and asking me about coffee?"

"Oh, right, well Wilhelmina said that I can work from this desk temporarily until she clears a space for me elsewhere. And besides, I haven't been able to get a replacement on such short notice, so I'm going to still be your assistant today. Just for today, though."

"Ok, that's great. I mean, it's nice that I still get to see you." He said with a smile as he walked back into his office.

The day went by without a hitch. The dress came in around lunch time and it was gorgeous. The designer sent a few extra dresses, and left a note that said she would join the shoot at 3. Betty was able to get her Editor work and assistant work done. She confirmed the interview with Angelina for after the shoot. Everything was going smoothly.

There was an hour left until the shoot when Betty remembered that she was going to ask if Justin could come. She walked into Daniel's office "Uh, Daniel?" "Yes Betty?" Daniel said while still looking at some papers on his desk.

"I forgot to ask you earlier, but was it ok that I told Justin he could come to the shoot? If it's not, I can just get him an autograph." He was looking up at her now, "No, that's fine Betty. He can come. Justin is great." He said reassuringly.

"Oh thank you, Daniel. He is going to be so happy." She said cheerily.

"No problem Betty" a smile engulfing his face. "You have a great smile, Daniel." Betty said sweetly as she noticed his bright smile. "Well thanks Betty. It is your smile that makes me smile like this." He said sincerely. He realized he was staring a little longer than he should. "Well then, I will see you in a little while, Betty. I just have to look over this now." "Ok, Daniel. See you soon." She smiled and left. Daniel felt warm and he loved being around Betty. She made him feel great.
