Forever yours 11

Shane walked down the hall that leaded her straight to the conference room, Jenny and Alice by their side, wearing their high fashion clothing they had, which made them look like they played mix and match, while Shane had a simple suit. Once they entered they were greeted with 15 faces, some known while others were new.

The people were sitting and chatting, there were still a few minutes before Lauren got here. Shane, Jenny and Alice all sat next to each other, right by the reserved seat of Lauren.  “Who are these people?” Alice asked, Jenny looking to Shane as well for answers. “The other writers are Michelle, Leslie and Jacob, they sit in the far end across us” she says while pointing each one down. “Kelly, Jenna, and Rachel are make-up and hair, they sit next to us. Kevin and Heidi sit opposite us in the middle, they’re the other designers. While the photographers, Paul, Zane and Elisa are across us.”

“Where’s Mark?” Jenny asks. Before Shane can say anything, Mark walks in, large smile on his face, until he sees the 3 women. His body goes rigid, he takes his seat, directly across Shane. He hides his head down, he must still feel guilty. “Good morning girls.”

“Hi Mark,” Jenny says with a warm smile, causing Mark to look up happily. “How’ve you all been?”

“Good,” says Alice, “I’ve been great,” Jenny then replies, “The gangs doing great Mark.”

“How about Carmen?”

“We got married,” Shane says, bright smile on her face.

“I wish I would’ve been there.” Mark says, with a distant look.

“Me too” Shane says, she really did see Mark as a brother to her, even after what he did.

Just then Lauren appears, everyone, except the 4 friends, sit up straight in their seats, giving Lauren a kiss ass smile.

“Talk about being in control.” Alice whispers into Shane’s ear.

“Good morning.” Lauren says to the workers.

The group nods to their boss, “So, this magazine will be built with hundreds of workers, however, everything will start here. We might have issues, but I want this group to work hard to have a strong respectable magazine, I want people all over the world to read our magazine, to look at our designs and be amazed. So try not to have drama with each other.” Lauren says the last part with a teasing grin.
