Summary: Why throwing a cell phone into a fountain is never a good idea. | Written for the dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Mayhem'.
“You have seven new messages. First message.”
“Andrea, how dare you turn off your phone? You are fired. You'll never work again!”
“Message deleted. Next message.”
“Do you have any idea what sort of mayhem you’ve caused with your irresponsible, immature behavior? But you don’t care how this reflects on Runway, or on me, do you? You have your ideals.”
“Message deleted. Next message.”
“Nigel understands what I had to do. I don’t see why you’re being so stubborn and childish.”
“Message deleted. Next message.”
“Perhaps you are ill and not thinking clearly. I expect you to be ready to leave for my brunch meeting at nine a.m. tomorrow. I will assume that you'll be well enough to do your duties then.”
“Message deleted. Next message.”
“Call me. Now. I will not ask again.”
“Message deleted. Next message.”
“You are by far the biggest disappointment I’ve ever had.”
“Message deleted. Next message.”
“Andrea…. Talk to me. It’s been two days. Do you plan to ignore me forever? Please… call me.”
“Message deleted. There are no more messages in your voicemail box.”
Emily set the phone down and let her gaze drift to Miranda’s office. She’d been given the task of transferring Andrea’s cell phone to the new assistant, Cassandra. She had turned the new phone on, activated to the old number, and found the voicemail icon displayed on the screen. She hadn’t expected… well, that. She wondered if Miranda knew that Andrea had never gotten the messages.
