Helen at Work

Marco keeps his distance. Helen keeps him on edge

 

Helen

at Work

 

 

Helen went about her day at work as usual. She noticed some tenseness between Marco, her station manager and the news director. More and more, she could hear the news director telling Marco to drop out of the loop on the news broadcast. He was also beginning to become more assertive with the new producer and Marco did not take this attitude very well. 

Helen did her job without much input from Marco that day. She guessed he was still occupied with the promo, but she welcomed the change of pace. The mood in the station was much lighter, and the viewers took notice. The only exchange between Helen and Marco was concerning the promo.

“My attorneys and the USOC insist on this agreement” Helen said as she handed Marco a stack of documents. “The girls are in and excited to do this promotion, but you and the station have to agree and abide by these terms.”

“Can’t we cut through the red tape somehow, for me?”

“Not on your life! This is the way it is, and if you want my little darlings doing this stunt, you’ll get these signed and on my desk by noon tomorrow.” Helen on her heels and went to her office to wrap up her final details. It felt really good to make Marco sweat out some of the details of his little promotion, an item she had already produced, directed and had ready to air.
