Because of that, the rest of my day had been filled with nothing but curiosity. I pleaded with him to tell me but he was one tough opponent to crack. He didn't tell me anything until the end except for saying I should prepare on Monday.
'How amazing! My curiosity will be killing me over the whole weekend! How am I going to write in this condition? Kaiden, you bully! You shouldn't have opened the topic if you're not planning on telling me the whole thing!'
But then again, I was the one who brought my research to him so it was my fault in the first place. Oh well, good luck surviving the weekends, Senara!
And so, I was once again distracted from my writing. If that wasn't enough, I suddenly received a call from Ms. Qian Yu.
”Hello there, Senara!” she greeted me in a cheerful tone, like how she usually spoke. Ms. Qian Yu had always been the bubbly, optimistic person ever since I met her.
”Ms. Qian Yu! Hi! It's nice to speak with you again!” I greeted her enthusiastically since I missed her. ”How have you been?”
It had been a long time since I last spoke with her. She sent me a few emails after I signed the contract with them, teaching me the ropes on how the film adaptation of ”Armageddon—Dawn of the New Generations” would go into process.
”Oh, I'm good. Thank you for asking. And you? How's living and studying in Red Dragon country going on for you? Are you having any difficulties? And the area you're living in—is it good? I'm surprised you opted out from the lodging recommendations and got your own place. You don't need to be shy about it, you know. It's provided by the company anyway. It's already a big favor that you moved here. It's the least we could do.”
”No, I'm okay—great even! I'm not having any difficulties, too since we're staying at a friend's house. They are helping us out on lots of things so I'm good.”
”I see. That's good then. But don't hesitate to tell me if anything happens okay?”
”I will. Thank you very much.” Ms. Qian Yu was really kind and sweet.
”It's nothing. Anyway, the reason I called is that… dan-da-da-dan! We finally got a screenwriter for you! Tadah!”
”WOW! That's great! Who is she? Or he?” I wasn't sure if the screenwriter was a boy or a girl but I somehow assumed she's a girl—hopefully, too. I'm not so sure if I'd be comfortable working with a guy.
”She's a girl, yes. Actually, I scheduled for you two to meet next week, Saturday, if you're available.”
”Of course! I don't have school on Saturdays and Sundays so I'm free.”
”Great! In that case, I'll tell her you agreed and I'll email you the details on where to meet and the time and all that. Sounds good?”
”Good. I'm so excited to meet her and work with her!”
