I sent my resume to Mr. We talked just before you went off on sick leave. He told me he was going to tell you. I figured you would have a meeting with Worthington and he could fill you in on my new role. Imogen had communicated with Carter Worthington, the publisher and her boss, exactly two times during her six-month hiatus from work.

Of course it was and of course the magazine had a website and sure all of that meant something. But the website was just a necessary appendage of the actual pages of the magazine, used mainly as a dumping ground for favors for advertisers and leftover stories.
