Lauren's voice resounded across the room. "I need the draft of the cover here now!"

There were people running across the room and Lauren could only hope that one of them was running to give her the cover. A tall girl stopped in front of her.

"Here you go, captain. Express delivery by Cindy-Mail. From Jenny the cover-design-girl." She said, smiling.

"Ha-ha. You're so funny Cindy!" Lauren said in a sarcastic tone. "I don't have time for this. The magazine has to be ready for print tomorrow!"

"You stress like this every month, and every month we get it on time. Just relax."

Lauren took a deep breath. "Yeah, we'll get it on time. It just seems worse this month."

"Well, if it's so bad, I'm gonna let you work and go back at my work."

"Ok. Thanks for the cover, by the way. Tell Jenny that it looks good."

"Alrighty. Bye, captain!"

Lauren smiled and let out a sight, then got back at her article.
