Chapter 153

Ace arrived soon after and the

meeting commenced. Ace quickly recapped the progress of the project before

outlining his expected next steps. Work was assigned logically and quickly to

the team members. The next part of the competition was the real deal where we

would be presenting the commercial itself to the committee members. That meant

that we had to finalize the detailed version of the story board and then work

on planning the production of the commercial. Then the production team can take

over in the filming and editing of the commercial. After multiple rounds of editing

and reviews, we would get our commercial at along last.

It was always interesting and

exciting to see what I had dreamt of in my storyboard brought to life on screen

as a complete commercial. From all the commercials, only three will be selected

for public release. Then the winner will be decided based on a combination of

three factors: the donation amount, the committee’s judgement, and the public’s

opinion via poll.

All those three elements were hard

for us to influence. It was a fair game where the public gets to decide through

votes and donations which commercial appealed the most to them. Since we were

promoting the end of the dog meat trade and aiming to secure donations to

support the cause, it was no surprise that the donation figures would play a

significant role in determining the winner.

“Jeremy and Karina, I want you two

to work together on the detailed version of the storyboard. It needs to be

ready for the production team to fully understand what we want to see for each

scene in detail including the transitions. Script writing will also be

important, so please get in touch with that team as well,” Ace instructed.

“Yes,” Jeremy and I replied in

unison.

We turned to smile at each other as we both

looked forward to working closely together on this project. I was confident in

our skills, and I was sure that we would produce something great together.

…

Project Alpha was in full swing as

we all rushed towards our next deadline. That meant that I spent a lot of my

time at work with Jeremy as we both focused on polishing up and designing the

details of the storyboard. Putting the rough storyboard in place was difficult

work but working on all the details was even harder. Now it wasn’t about the

story we wanted to tell or how we wanted to tell it to the audience. We also

had to consider every single thing that would appear on the screen while

considering how it would actually be shot in production.

“I think the transition of this

scene to this one feels weird…” I said as my brows frowned.

“Yeah, I think so too…” Jeremy

agreed.

“I don’t know how to fix it,

though. It feels like it’s missing something and I’m not sure what. I’m not

even sure if adding a simple transition is enough or if we need to add a mini

scene of a couple of seconds to this…” I confessed honestly.

“What do you usually do when you

run out of ideas?” Jeremy asked as his eyes focused on my face.

Is this some kind of trick

question?

“Well, I’ll do some research. Look

for some references and things like that. What about you?” I asked in return.

“Same, except I’ve got a special

place where I look for references,” Jeremy said before he smiled brightly at

me.

“A special place? As in where?” I

asked curiously.

“It’s a secret!” Jeremy announced

before he started laughing loudly.

Somehow, I knew that he wouldn’t

share the secret to his success with me that easily. I watched as Jeremy

continued to laugh as I wondered where that secret place of his could be.

…

Since being paired up with Jeremy,

I didn’t spend much time at work with Ace. That didn’t bother me because not

having him around helped to keep my focus on my work. I was too busy with

Project Alpha that the only times that I saw Ace at the office was during our

team meetings. Apart from regular morning meetings, we started having meetings

towards the end of the day as well.

Sitting at the meeting table along

with my team members, I listened to my colleague presenting the progress of

their part of the work. Everything seemed to be progressing smoothly and I was

very confident with what we had cooking. The meeting came to its end and after

aligning on next steps for everyone, Ace excused himself. Many people stayed on

to discuss their work with their colleagues since everyone on the project were

all together in one place.

Suddenly, my phone vibrated. I

tried my best not to smile like a fool. This wasn’t the first time that he did,

so I knew that Ace had just sent me a text. The context of the text was always

the same and it always meant the same thing.

“Are you leaving already?” Jeremy

asked when I got up from my seat.

“Yeah. I think I’ll call it a day

today. I’ll see you tomorrow,” I replied before I smiled a little at him.

He waved at me before turning to

talk to someone else. I silently slipped out of the meeting room before making

my way to my next destination. The elevator ride up felt like it took longer

than normal because of my own impatience. Ace texted me whenever he had to work

late at the office and wanted my company. Usually, I spent time after working

hours in his office to keep him company in various of ways to compensate for

our lack of time together during official working hours.

“You don’t need to keep your voice down. It’s late, no one

else is here anymore,” Ace whispered seductively into my ear as he nibbled on

its lobe sending shivers of pleasure through my entire body.

I tried to stifle my moans by covering my mouth with the

palm of my hands as Ace lifted my body up onto his worktable in a sitting

position. Standing in between my widespread legs, Ace hands slowly unbuttons NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.

the small pearl buttons of my rosy pink shirt before he bent his head down to

suck on the side of my neck seductively.
