1989 (#13) - Macy's return, flirtation with Mick and Donna's job at Spectra

Before Clarke could realize that he would pose a serious threat to his marriage, the man had hired photographer Mick at Spectra. Convinced of his important artistic talents, capable of transforming a simple model into a cover dress, Clarke was enthusiastic about Mick until the day he discovered, obviously at the hands of Margot, that there had been an intense affair between him and his wife in the past. Determined to get rid of him immediately and fire him, it's Sally who blocks Clarke, placing her veto and urging the man not to mix work with his private affairs, recognizing Mick's objective value with the camera. Ironically, it is soon Sally herself who regrets her choice, as soon as the charming photographer sets his eyes on her beautiful daughter. Just returned from college, finished with a diploma with honors, Macy Alexander is overjoyed to be able to re-embrace her mother Sally. There has always been a very deep, sincere and frank relationship between the two; something that is immediately apparent when an irritated Macy, disappointed to find her mother more and more involved in her work, holds against her the fact that she has spent most of her life managing Spectra Fashion, without great results, to the detriment of her daughter, who grew up in a tailor's office rather than among the games as would be normal to expect. But even though Sally has often neglected her, Macy is perfectly aware that her mother has only done this to guarantee her a better life, especially after Adam's abandonment. And it is for this reason that she accepts her mother's proposal to unite her efforts and officially get on the boat with her at the helm of Spectra. The only condition set by Macy is that she must hire her friend Donna as a model, as she has been left without a job after being fired from Spencer; a request that Sally gladly accepts, immediately noticing the girl's qualities on the catwalk. What Macy can't suspect, however, is that she soon begins to feel a sense of jealousy towards the girl, who is certainly much more extroverted and uninhibited than she is, which allows her to make Mick feel much more at ease than she does, even though she immediately takes a liking to the photographer. Thus begins a sort of competition between Macy and Donna to attract the attention of Mick, who between the two, however, seems to prefer the sweetness and genuineness of Macy.
