dvlwears_prada community ABC challenge prompt of 'Rumor'.
When Emily answered the phone during Paris fashion week, the last person she’d expected to hear on the other end was Miranda Priestly. Miranda Priestly didn't call Runway during fashion week. She had assistants for that.…
Miranda told her in a calm, terror-inducing voice to pack up Andrea’s things, to get rid of every email and memo that Andrea had ever written, to start looking through applications for a new second assistant. Emily would have been thrilled at this latest turn of events, but she’d never heard Miranda sound so angry, and she was already worrying about how she’d hire someone to dispose of a body internationally.
The only thing to shock her more than that conversation was the next one, when Miranda called her the following morning to insist that everything be put back exactly where it had been and berated her for scheduling interviews because honestly, how many assistants did she need?
When Miranda arrived back in New York and headed straight to Runway, Andrea Sachs was close behind. Everyone knew she’d quit-the media had latched onto that story almost immediately-but now she was back. And Miranda wasn’t any angrier than was usual. If anything, she seemed to be in a good mood, which was a little disconcerting. No one talked about anything except Andrea for days, speculating over what she’d done to put herself firmly back in Miranda’s good graces once more, each suggestion more ridiculous or lewd than the last. But, of course, no one dared to ask.
