Persephone Erinyes, not for the first time in her life, regretted listening
to her mother.
Demeter had caught her at the door, taken one look at her sleeveless linen
shift dress—perfect for the unseasonably warm September—and pointed
out that while Persephone’s tattoos were very nice, darling, perhaps they
shouldn’t be on display on her first day.
And so Persephone had started her internship at Olympus Publishing in a
long-sleeved, drapey peach confection that, it was becoming very apparent,
wasn’t made out of breathable fabric.
Honestly, she should have dressed for a marathon. The head of Human
Resources, Mr. Hermes, apparently not only took a very personal interest in
the intern program, but seemed determined to drag their intake of twelve
through every inch of their new workplace. From his place at the head of
the pack, he occasionally called something over his shoulder. Mr. Hermes
had introduced himself as “British via the West Indies”, and his rich voice
and plummy accent easily penetrated to the back of the crowd.
They’d scrambled from their first getting-to-know-you meeting in the HR
department, near the top of the building, down through the hallowed offices
of the editors and through the labyrinthine cubicles of the copy departments
where those editors’ peons scurried through the maze with intent
expressions and giant travel coffee mugs
They were allowed a brief peek into the famed wardrobe, which took up
most of a floor. Even Persephone, who’d been in her mid-teens before she
realized not everyone’s mother had a whole room for a shoe closet, was
awed by the racks on racks on racks of gorgeous fabrics, stunning
accessories, and superb designs, all meticulously organized so that someone
could find the exact belt that had adorned the cover model of the July issue
six years before.
Of course, few of these clothes would fit her, but she could definitely see
herself in some of the accessories…
A jolt shot through the group as something happened in an aisle further
away, the respectful hum shifting to a more intense pitch. Persephone
craned, but couldn’t see.
“What happened?” she whispered to the girl beside her. Thalia, she
thought, from the quick introduction icebreaker games they’d played.
Probably-Thalia listened for a moment, and then whispered back,
“Someone saw Aphrodite Urania!”
“Is she doing a shoot?”
“She must be. I didn’t see anything on her socials, so it must be a big
deal.”
Indeed, Mr. Hermes, smile gleaming in his dark face, was herding them
back together and reminding them all of the non-disclosure agreement
they’d signed. “There’s always a lot going on!” he said. “And you
absolutely can’t talk about it. Not to your best friend. Not even your mum!”
Persephone winced. Her own mother wasn’t going to be happy about
that.
