Chapter 55: Messages

I checked my phone the moment I got home. I have plenty of messages. Most of them are from Franco. I definitely skipped his. I am just scrolling don right now, checking who more remembered me or missed me. Jerry sent me a message, he wanted an update about my current story. I need to call him asap. My fingers directed me to his numbers.

Hey Jerry! I started

I was just organizing the storyline at this very moment but they are still on my head, I haven't write them yet.

Oh Tara! I talked to some people earlier this day. They want to finance our project. So we need a story right away because you know they can change their mind anytime.

Jerry's energy is on work mode, he is over enthusiastic over this new project probably because of the big money coming again.

Jerry if you need a story right away, you can check on my previos works. Maybe you would like something from there. Then you don't have to wait.

I know Tara, but I had seen them all and yet nothing seems to be the one i like this time. I will leave those simple stories for Drake and Andrei. I want something that will mark on the heart of the audience. Not just a simple love story with 2 characters always ending up together happily. I want something new.

Then you got to wait Jerry. I will give more time on the story. Give me two weeks.

You said that Tara, 2 weeks I'm giving you 2 weeks. Enjoy your vacation. Jerry ended the line right there.

Wait Jerry, I'm doing ok. I'm doing fine. You haven't ask me how I am. Or how is the place here at the province. Funny how he didn't even check on my personal feelings knowing that I just been to break up. I've been a friend to Jerry the longest but seems like we are more connected proffesionally more than friends. He doesn't seem to care about my loneliness, my emotion and over all situation, he just up for work. He just wanted his story.

I scrolled down some more, checking on more people that can somehow understand me or misses me. Drake he messaged me, of course he is my brother. He is checking on me and my parents. He haven't been home for so long as well. But he also wants me back the soonest. My father passed by the door, he is talking to Drake on his phone, he gave me a wave and left going to his own room.

oh I have a message from Andrei, what is he got to say to me? Anything interesting from him? Can he advice me intelligently? I opened his message, it is just a simple message. "Come back soonest, we missed you!" Nothing especial. I can't even reply on his message I have nothing to tell him.

More mèssages came from employees and friends. I saw I have 1 from Lisa as well, a message from the enemy. I better not read her message. I don't want to know what she has to say. I don't need her apology. I don't need her in my life or in the agency. She's not a loss. We can make another star again.

I better just relax. No thinking. My beautiful day has been tainted a little spot of grey as I read those messages. I better not check on my phone at all.☐☐☐☐☐
