The Betrayal
“Sometimes, when the windows are open, the voices of children reach above the traffic and rise towards me. The first weeks were terrifying, so many meetings, new faces, responsibilities. Now, two months later, the newness has worn off and the skills I took with me from Tõnality have come to the fore.
Lustrous is the most prestigious of Jessica’s eight magazines and is my responsibility. It’s devoted to celebrity culture, glamour and escapism, scandal and the red carpet. Her other magazines a...re equally targeted, weddings, businesses, interior design and then there’s Core, a muck-raking tabloid at the other end of the spectrum from Lustrous. Both magazines are edited by Liam Brett.
I don’t usually dislike people on a first impression but Liam has proved the exception to the rule. He addresses the female staff as ‘Babe’; a useful moniker that prevents him having to remember our names. I suspect he enjoys building up the celebrities who feature in Lustrous so that he can crash land them later with an exposé in Core.MoreLess
