Breathtaking

Thursday — December 20

"Is there a problem with the project?" Angela asked Nina as she got into her car. Her best friend picked her up at nine for their appointment at ten. 

She had already submitted her third novel for the project to her editor, and it would take about a week or two to go over it. Her first two novels were already finished since the start of this month. So far, she was on schedule. Yesterday, Nina told her that Samantha's assistant called to ask if they could come by today but didn't tell them what it was all about. Now she was so nervous.

"I'm sure everything's okay. They could have told us over the phone if it was something that's needed to be dealt with faster. Maybe there's progress with the illustration? I remember them telling me the art would probably be ready this week," replied Nina.
