Chapter 1279 Andy's Experience

Although a certain writer's imaginative thinking often brings unexpected progress to the case, most of the time his words should just be treated as a joke or even ignored.

When everyone had almost finished eating, Andy, at Jack's request, talked about his "tragic experience" when he was an assistant under Miranda.

At that time, Andy was still a real rookie in the workplace. She had just graduated with honors from Northwestern University (one of the top ten "New Ivy League" schools in the United States) and came to New York with great ambitions.

Jack had learned part of what happened afterwards from her when he was on the plane. The reason why he asked her to tell it again in detail was naturally to tell it to the NYPD people present.

The victim Ella's personal life was quite simple, even almost nonexistent. She had no boyfriend and no enemies, at least from what they had learned so far.

If we want to find out the reason for her murder and find the real murderer, we naturally have to start by investigating her work.

And right now there is a person who once did the same job as Ella, and started as a newcomer in the workplace, and eventually won the final recognition of Miranda, known as the "devil woman".

Perhaps because it was a story that had already happened and no one else had gotten involved, what Andy told was similar to the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" that Jack had seen in his previous life.

The feeling was somewhat similar to but also somewhat different from when the three of them stepped into the magazine this morning. When Andy, a female academic who had been almost isolated from the fashion circle for more than 20 years in her life, accidentally entered "Tianqiao", she felt more of an extremely awkward out-of-place.

It was an early winter morning that was even colder than today. Andy, wearing a pullover, a plaid skirt, round-toed thick-heeled leather shoes, and carrying a canvas bag, stood stupidly among a group of swaying fashionable girls.

The contrast is too strong, even Anne Hathaway's beauty can't suppress it.

Of course, Andy is still a little proud in her heart. She is a serious academic, and it is inevitable that she does not take the so-called fashion circle seriously.

At that time, she was like Esposito. Not only did she not know who Miranda was, she also didn't take the assistant job seriously.

Until Emily, another assistant, told her that as long as she could work as Miranda's assistant here for a year and get her recommendation letter, she would have no problem going to any magazine or newspaper.

So Andy, full of confidence, accepted what was probably the biggest challenge of her life.

Early in the morning, she ran breathlessly on the streets of New York in high heels with Miranda's breakfast in her hands. She finally squeezed into the elevator and sat at her desk on time. Before she could catch her breath, a coat and a shoulder bag were thrown at her.

This is Miranda's daily routine when she walks into the office.

Hanging clothes, collecting handbags, booking restaurants, notifying various meetings, sending various invitations or thank-you letters, and answering calls from fashion gurus who never repeat themselves.

In addition, she had to deliver Miranda's daughter's forgotten homework book to school, help her repair her car, buy surfboards and beach slippers for her twin daughters, and go to LV to pick up the 12 scarves that Miranda had ordered.

Contacting a certain designer, confirming an interview with a certain magazine, taking notes while Miranda is selecting designs.

While Andy gritted her teeth and adapted to this work rhythm, even devoting herself to it, she herself was slowly changing.

She got used to following Miranda's work rhythm and began to learn from the girls in her circle, putting on exquisite makeup before going out every day.

Wear B&G trendy clothes, step on Jimmy Choo and Manolo Blahnik high heels, and carry the limited edition Gucci shoulder bag that all trendy girls dream of.

But at the same time, Andy also lost a lot, because integrating into one circle inevitably means alienating from another circle.

Her former friends gradually drifted away from her, her boyfriend, who rarely saw her, broke up with her, and even her parents could not understand their daughter.

While they felt sorry for her, they also raised questions, wondering what she could get after giving so much.

Everyone present was an old hand. Except for Cassel who had always worked for himself, everyone else had some personal experience of Andy's, but none of it was as extreme as hers.

To become a policeman, the graduation examination of the police academy is a round of elimination. After that, when you become a rookie police officer, you will be teased and trained by the veteran police officers to grind away bad habits such as impulsiveness and carelessness.

Becoming a detective from a police officer is a test no less than that of a thousand troops crossing a single-plank bridge. Beckett is now a senior detective and can command the duo around when handling cases, not because of the privileges granted by LGBT or so-called feminist policies.

Therefore, everyone can easily draw a conclusion from Andy's narration, just like the question Beckett asked with a smile at this time.

"So, Miranda is actually training you as a successor, teaching you through her own actions how she became a fashion godmother, am I right?"

Andy gave the female detective a slightly bitter smile in response, "I think so, but it took me a long time to figure it out after I left her."

The story that follows is a bit cliché. Although Miranda is known as the "fashion godmother" of New York and is regarded as a goddess by countless designers and models, she is ultimately just a high-level worker.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

When the new major shareholder injected strong capital into the magazine and planned to remove Miranda and replace her with a more famous female editor from France, Miranda had to make some compromises while fighting back.

She sacrificed the deputy editor who had been loyal to her for sixteen years and broke some promises, all just to save herself.

Andy, who witnessed all of this, finally made up his mind and recognized who he was.

She didn't want to be like Miranda, who didn't want to sacrifice the things she had, friendship, family and love, for fame, fortune and status.

"But Miranda still sent you a crucial letter of recommendation to The New York Times after you resigned, didn't she?"

As Jack spoke, he served everyone a cup of honey and osmanthus stewed milk as a dessert after the meal.

This thing is an advanced version of stewed eggs. It only uses egg whites and milk, steamed until cooked, and then added with honey and his homemade osmanthus essence. It is sweet but not greasy and very delicious.

Andy hesitated for a moment, but ultimately couldn't stand the test. After trying one spoonful, he couldn't stop.

"So even though she is strong, domineering, mean and cold-blooded, she can't be considered a bad person. At least not to the extent of killing someone and throwing the body into the trash can."
