Getting transformed

Tess went back to her desk, her mind slowly piecing items together. Decker must be Decker Halls, the best friend of the son of the company CEO, Ms Victoria Scarlet Crimson. Tess grew very excited. Decker Halls was so handsome and she could not wait to go to the gala with him and pretend to be his fiancee. Tess knew she had to get ready. She decided that tonight was all about her - a night out on the town, away from the drudgery of editing and into the spotlight. Reaching for a sparkly silver gown in her office locker, Tess transformed herself into Cinderella-esque Cinderella. The ballgown fit like a dream, with a delicate lace top and full skirt that swirled as she moved. Her hair was styled in loose waves, and her makeup shone bright pink on her cheeks. With a final flourish of the tiara, Tess gazed at herself in the mirror and smiled - tonight, she was ready to take on the world, one editing challenge at a time.
