few weeks!that I play along。 It seems he had a never´ending supply
of annoying tunes that he loved to sing�察�and he wouldn¨t let me
through the turnstiles until I acted them out。 The day before was
^I¨m Too Sexy。 ̄ As he sang�察�I¨m too sexy for Milan�察�too sexy for
Milan�察�New York and Japan�察院�I had to walk down the lobby¨s imaginary
runway。 It could be fun when I was in a decent mood。 Sometimes it
even made me smile。 But it was my very first day with Miranda�察�and I
couldn¨t be late getting her things set up�察�I just couldn¨t。 I
wanted tohurt him for holding me up as everyone else breezed past
the security desk in the turnstiles on each side of me。
^If they don¨t give me proper credit�察�I just walk away´ay�察�I
muttered�察�allowing the words to stretch and fade�察�just like Madonna。
He raised his eyebrows。 ^Where¨s the enthusiasm�察�girlfriend�拭�
I thought I¨d do something violent if I heard his voice again�察�so I
dropped my bag of papers on the counter�察�threw both arms up in the
air and thrust my hips to the left�察�while pursing my lips into a
dramatic pout。^A material� �A material� �A material� �A material 。 。 。
WORLD� 院�I all but screamed�察�and he cackled and clapped andwhoosh � �
He buzzed me through。
Mental note�此�Discuss with Eduardo when and where it is appropriate
to make a plete ass of me。Once again�察�I dove onto the elevators
and raced past Sophy�察�who kindly opened the doors to the floor
without my even asking。 I even remembered to stop in one of the
minikitchens and put some ice in one of the Baccarat goblets we kept
in a special cabinet over the microwave just for Miranda。 Glass in
one hand�察�newspapers in another�察�I peeled around the corner and
smashed directly into Jessica�察�a。k。a。 Manicure Girl。 She looked both
annoyed and panic´stricken。
^Andrea�察�are you aware that Miranda is on her way to the office�拭院�
she asked�察�looking me up and down。
^Sure am。 I¨ve got her newspapers right here and her water right
here�察�and now I just need to get them back to her office。 If you¨ll
excuse me 。 。 。 ̄
^Andrea� 院�she called as I ran past her�察�an ice cube flying out of
the glass and landing outside the art department。 ^Remember to
change your shoes� �
I stopped dead in my tracks and looked down。 I was wearing a pair of
funky street sneakers�察�the kind that weren¨t designed to do anything
but look cool。 The rules of dress!unspoken and otherwise!were
obviously relaxed when Miranda was away�察�and even though every
single person in the office looked fantastic�察�each was wearing
something they would swear up and down that they¨d never�察�ever wear
in front of Miranda。 My bright red�察�mesh sneakers were a prime
example。
I had broken a sweat by the time I made it back to our suite。 ^I¨ve
got all the papers and I bought the magazines�察�too�察�just in case。
The only thing is�察�I don¨t think I can wear these shoes�察�can I�拭�
Emily tore the headset from her ear and flung it down on her desk。
^No�察�of course you can¨t wear those。 ̄ She picked up the phone�察�
dialed four digits�察�and announced�察 �Jeffy�察�bring me a pair of
Jimmy¨s in a size 。 。 。 ̄ She looked at me。
^Nine and a half。 ̄ I pulled a small bottle of Pellegrino out of the
closet and filled the glass。
^Nine and a half。 No�察�now。 No�察�Jeff�察�I¨m serious。 Right now。 Andrea
is wearingsneakers for chrissake��red sneakers�察�and She¨s going to be
here any minute。 OK�察�thanks。 ̄
It was then I noticed that in the four minutes I¨d been downstairs�察�
Emily had managed to switch her faded jeans to leather pants and her
own funky sneakers to open´toe stilettos。 She¨d also cleaned up the
entire office suite�察�sweeping the contents of both our desks into
drawers and stashing all of the ining gifts that hadn¨t yet been
transferred to Miranda¨s apartment in the closet。 She had slicked on
a fresh coat of lip gloss and added some color to her cheeks and was
presently motioning for me to get moving。
I grabbed the bag of newspapers and shook them out in a pile on the
lightbox in her office�察�a sort of underlit table where Emily said
Miranda would stand for hours on end and examine film that had e
in from photo shoots。 But it was also where she liked her papers
arranged�察�and once again�察�I consulted my legal pad for the correct
order。 First�察�theNew York Times�察�followed by theWall Street Journal�察�
and then theWashington Post 。 And on and on the order went in a
pattern I couldn¨t distinguish�察�each placed slightly on top of the
one before it until they fanned out across the table in
formation。Women¨s Wear Daily was the single exception�此�this was to
be placed in the middle of her desk。
^She¨s here� �Andrea�察�e out here� �She¨s on her way up�察院�I heard
Emily hiss from the outer area。 ^Uri just called to tell me he just
dropped her off。 ̄
I putWWD on her desk�察�placed the Pellegrino on a corner of her desk
on a linen napkin ��which side�拭�I couldn¨t remember which side it was
supposed to go on���察�and darted from the office�察�taking one last look
around to ensure that everything was in order。 Jeffy�察�one of the
fashion assistants who helped organize the fashion closet�察�tossed me
a shoe box with a rubber band around it and bolted。 I pulled it open
immediately。 Inside were a pair of Jimmy Choo heels with straps made
of camel hair going every which way and buckles nestled in the
middle of it all�察�probably worth around eight hundred dollars。 Shit� �
I had to get these on。 I yanked off my sneakers and my now sweaty
socks and tossed them under my desk。 The right one went on rather
easily�察�but I couldn¨t work my stubby fingernail to free the buckle
on the left one until!there� �I pried it open and thrust my left foot
into it�察�watching the straps bite into the already swollen flesh。 In
another few seconds I had it buckled and was returning to an upright
sitting position just as Miranda walked in。
Frozen。 I was absolutely frozen in midmotion�察�my mind working fast
enough to understand how ridiculous I must look�察�but not quite fast
enough to move。 She noticed me immediately�察�probably because she was
expecting Emily to still be sitting at her old desk�察�and walked
over。 She leaned on the counter that ran over my desk�察�leaned over
it and even closer to me�察�until she was able to see my entire body
as I sat�察�immobilized�察�in the chair。 Her bright blue eyes moved up
and down�察�side to side�察�all over my white button´down�察�my red
corduroy Gap miniskirt�察�my now buckled camel´hair Jimmy Choo
sandals。 I felt her examine every inch of me�察�skin and hair and
clothes�察�her eyes moving so quickly but her face remaining frozen。
She leaned closer still�察�until her face was only a foot from mine
and I could smell the fantastic aroma of salon shampoo and expensive
perfume�察�so close that I could see the very fine lines around her
mouth and eyes that were invisible from a more fortable distance。
But I couldn¨t look too long at her face�察�because she was intently
examining mine。 There wasn¨t the slightest indication that she
recognized that a�� we had�察�in fact�察�met before�察�b�� I was her new
employee�察�or c�� I was not Emily。
^Hello�察�Ms。 Priestly�察院�I squeaked impulsively�察�even though somewhere
in the back of my head I knew that she hadn¨t uttered a word yet。
But the tension was unbearable�察�and I couldn¨t help but barrel
forward。 ^I¨m so excited to be working for you。 Thank you so much
for the opportunity to 。 。 。 ̄Shut up� �Just shut your stupid mouth� �
Talk about no dignity。
She walked away。 Finished looking me up and down�察�pushed backward
off the counter�察�and just walked away while I was stuttering
mid´sentence。 I could feel heat ing off my face�察�a flush of
confusion and pain and humiliation all wrapped into one�察�and it
didn¨t help that I could feel Emily glaring at me。 I pulled my hot
face upward and confirmed that Emily was indeed glaring at me。
^Is the Bulletin updated�拭院�Miranda asked to no one in particular as
she walked into her office and�察�I noticed happily�察�directly to the
light table where I¨d arranged her papers。
^Yes�察�Miranda。 Here it is�察院�Emily said obsequiously�察�racing in
behind her and handing her the clipboard where we kept all of
Miranda¨s messages typed as they e in。
I sat quietly�察�watching Miranda move deliberately around her office
in the picture frames that hung on her wall�此�if I looked at the
glass instead of at the photos themselves�察�I could see her
reflection。 Emily immediately busied herself at her desk�察�and
silence prevailed。Do we never get to talk to each other or anyone
else if she¨s in the office�拭�I wondered。 I
