*✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:

The next two days pass uneventfully, mostly consisting of meetings and fittings until everything is all set for fashion week. It's officially one month away and I couldn't be happier that this is my last runway for Gucci, at least for a while.

I told Jordan about my new job yesterday, and like Mel predicted, he was overjoyed. He promised that my job here would always be waiting for me, so long as I promised that he would meet Harry at some point throughout my employment with him (which he was only half kidding about). He also threw in that he'd be happy to have me on projects on more of a freelance basis should I have any extra time on my hands, which was so nice to hear.

Today is my last full day in New York before heading home to LA for a few weeks before fashion week commences, and I have a meeting with Cora at 2 pm to go over what exactly my new job will entail and contracts and whatnot.

We meet at a cute cafe in NoHo, and upon arrival, I'm immediately obsessed. There's seating outdoors and vines lining the entire building, making New York City feel a bit more home-y. The umbrellas for each table are the most beautiful shade of blue, and I make a mental note to come back here next time I'm in the city. As soon as I get a bit closer, I see Cora and she greets me warmly.

"Monira! So good to see you again." She says, welcoming me with a hug.

"Hi Cora," I say smiling, "Nice to see you as always."

I note that Cora is wearing red satin blouse and wide leg black trousers, a simple yet very stylish look.

We get seated almost immediately, and once we get to our table Cora cuts right to the chase.

"Okay. So let's just go ahead and get everything ironed out. This job will very much be full time, and we're heading into a particularly busy season with Harry's album hopefully coming out in a couple of months, but who really knows with all of his last minute ideas." Cora says, pinching the bridge of her nose. I'm not sure what exactly she means by that, considering early album promo has already begun, but I decide to leave it for now.

"We'll want you to start almost immediately after fashion week, if that works for you. By that point, Harry will have a few pre-album promo interviews to do, and we're planning on filming a music video as soon as possible for one of the singles that'll be coming out about a month before the album drops."

"I understand that this is your first time working as a personal stylist on this scale, so just for some insight, you'll pretty much be in charge of all of Harry's looks for public appearances. This will include red carpets, award shows, interviews, talk shows, tour, music videos, even paparazzi PR shots– that's all you." Cora says with a smile.

"Wow." I breathe out "This all sounds so exciting and I can't wait to get started" I say enthusiastically. "Will I be able to meet with Harry Lambert at all prior to starting, just so he can show me the ropes a bit?"

"Yes, absolutely, in fact he had the exact same request. Our team is actually heading out to LA after this week anyways, which is where I'm told you spend most of your time so I'm sure the two of you can figure something out within the next week or so."

"Okay, amazing." I say, "As far as contact information for everyone I'll need to coordinate with?"

"Oh! Yes I will add you to all of our calendars, drives, and groupchats as soon as I get back to my laptop." She says exhaling. I can't begin to imagine how stressful it must be for Cora to help coordinate everything for one of the world's biggest celebrities, but she seems to be handling it well.
