Re: Bennie & Jeremy (Before the Reading)
The lift dinged and she stepped in, looking over her shoulder to see him - thankfully - following, "What floor did she say? She just told me to wait," she said with a laugh, "and yes, caffeine is life; I've spent the last few months working at a cafe so sometimes, I've meant that literally." It wasn't like she needed to work to keep a roof over her head, she was living with her family after all, but she had wanted to contribute to the household in any way she could.
"And no. I am not. In any way. You?" She asked - she knew he had acted, or she thought she remembered that, anyway, but she wasn't sure if he'd done anything this big before.
Just then, they reached the third floor and the doors opened to a long hallway with a large, open air conference room at the end. Inside it, she could see Silviya Capper seated elegantly next to tv heartthrob (and her new co-boss she figured) Robert Hilliard. Oh gods, this was going to be insane. She felt woefully underdressed.
She was pretty sure she hadn't been seen yet and so she stopped dead and moved to the left of the elevators bank, out of the line of sight of the conference room, and took a deep breath.
