I’ve had less than a week to ‘get into character’,
which has mostly involved getting used to wearing heels,
learning what a PA actually does
and learning as much as possible about her consultancy business.
I’d tried on numerous items of clothing from mum’s wardrobe until she found an outfit that fit me properly.
Most of her skirts and tailored dresses were too baggy around my hips,
and many if her blouses and jackets were too narrow on my shoulders.
After an entire afternoon of trying this and that,
Mum finally found me something suitable;
a black body-con skirt,
a white sleeveless blouse,
and a black fitted jacket with its shoulder pads removed.
Then on this very morning,
Mum took me to a salon where I had a (near) full body wax,
my hair trimmed and styled,
a manicure,
my eyebrows shaped and my ears pierced…
then she took me to a lingerie store and bought me some underwear.
