Lauren Jauregui's Point Of View

*A few months ago*

That Newton pendulum should have my attention for the last 5 minutes. The small silver balls hit each other, giving motion to the one that was next to it, and so on. I twirled the small black pencil between my fingers, while my head was traveling in frantic thoughts about the busy day that I was having. Thoughts that got tangled by the lack of attention caused by the damn pendulum, or simply because of fatigue.

-Lauren, are you listening to me? – Dinah asked when she stopped before my desk.

The blonde with slender body had her hands rested on her waist as she shot me a somewhat irritated look. I swallowed hard and accommodated myself better on the soft leather chair. The woman stepped forward, reaching out to the pendulum, stopping the small balls' movement.

-Of course I am! – I exclaimed quickly.

She raised an eyebrow and crossed her arms under her breasts. Dinah had a strong temper and I thanked a lot for that, it helped me to focus in the moments I lost track of myself. Like now.

-Well then, tell me exactly the last thing I said.

-You... – I cleared my throat and looked away from her accusative gaze – Well... You...

-God! You didn't hear absolutely anything. Where's your head at?

My head? It was exclusively focused on the damn meeting that would happen in a few minutes. Today we would decide the last details for the launch of Victoria's Secret new collection. In the last 5 years, my greatest desire was to take over the leadership of one of the collection launched by the brand. Hard task, but extremely rewarding. To get where I am now, I had a long journey of hard work, few hours of sleep and an extra portion of daily stress. And of course, the total extinction of a common social life to any human being. I wouldn't dare complain about all that, since now I had finally arrived where I always dreamed. Having my name as the general director of the Victoria's Secret 2016 launch was one of my greatest accomplishments.

-I'm just a little nervous about the meeting.

Dinah seemed to relax, turning her angry expression into a serene one. The blonde took a deep breath and accommodated herself better on the armchair in front of my desk. Just like me, the woman also worked hard to rise to the position she now possessed inside VS. Today, Dinah Jane was one of the main designers of the brand, and my collection would be made exclusively by her and her wonderful drawings. We started as simple interns in the small general administration room, taking orders and receiving lectures. And now, we both possessed our offices between the last floors of the glamorous VS building, having a leadership position.

-I understand, Lauren. But look, our project has already been accepted, you should relax.

-I know that, and I still can't believe it. But today is the final meeting. We are going to present the last details and the most important of them, the Fantasy Bra.

-Now you managed to make me nervous, thank you. – she muttered.

The Fantasy Bra was the lingerie used by the main model among all the angels. The pieces were completely worked with gemstones. Since rubies, diamonds and sapphires. In the last two years the lingerie didn't win a big highlight, and the brand was looking for a way to improve that situation. So, Dinah and I made the riskiest and most expensive project so to speak.
