 sorry...a little unexpected trip took me offline.. Eagle Eye [⅓ Badger Trio] Felon & Kafka ♥ Gilderoy Lockhart <3 [TEAM 947!]
Waiting didn't take that long, thankfully.
And...here was the first one. Or so she hoped, because the knock could be anyone, but then she heard the voice...totally unfamiliar to her ears, so this must be one of the people she's expecting.
"Jane, of course" she nodded and smiled, eyeing the note in her hand. Really, she could've left that in her desk or anywhere else. "Please, come in and take a seat" she gestured her inside, even if Jane was already in her office.
Sienna was about to start giving her the good news (well, it seemed good to her) when...another knock.
Why peek inside when you can simply open the door at once? It was the right thing to do, indeed. Unlike she did in Enrico's office.
"Oh, yes.." Mr. Xiao? Pepper? Xiao?, "Pepper, you are indeed expected" a nod to her golden head, and another gesture for him to step inside.
Once he was in...the door was closed. Magically, of course. She wouldn't get off her chair just to close the door, unless there was no one inside or the situation demanded it. Anyway...
"I'd like to start by saying that you haven't done anything wrong..." because her conversation with Tristan earlier was totally misunderstood, poor guy, "...it's quite the opposite, actually" yes, that was true, "You have been chosen by me and the Editor-In-Chief" a bright smile framed her face, she truly hoped they would take this as good news.
"First of all, we just lost two Section Editors in the past couple of days" the reasons were not going to be shared, "Your Section Editors, to be more precise" surely they knew that by now, "And, both Enrico and myself, think that you are the perfect candidate to take over those positions" clear enough? Yes, probably. "Jane, you'll become...er...Lifestyle Section Editor...and Pepper, News Section Editor" she said, all matter-of-factly as she nodded. The Managing Editor missed something. "Oh, of course, if you accept the new position" questions and answers will come next, if they had any questions whatsoever.
"So, what do you say?" the pay is better, clearly better. |
