At the same time. Venice is still walking towards her destination, but she suddenly stopped when her cellphone rang. He immediately answered the call when she saw her Boss' name on the caller screen. "Where the hell are you? I've been waiting for ages here!" It was her Boss, Audrey Smith, one of the famous novelist in the whole country. She's now working under her as an Assistant. "I'm almost there, Boss." she answered nervously, as she starts to panic. "Did you bring the script? You can forget anything, but not those papers." Audrey warns her. "Don't worry, Boss. I have the manuscript with me." "Then, what the hell are you waiting for?! Get here faster!" Before Venice could speak, her Boss abruptly cuts off the call. She lets out a deep sigh, but this is not a suitable time for her to waste any time. She has to reach the MBN building as soon as possible or else... She might lose her job. "Okay, I'm almost there..." she encouraged herself, while looking at the map. She
At the same time. “Uh, Boss? What do you plan to do with the script? ” Venice mustered all of her courage to ask her Boss, after calming down a bit. "We need to go back to the office to do brainstorming." Audrey gloomily answered. Venice didn't have any choice but to follow Boss Audrey's order. They are going to pull an all-nighter again, and she won't be able to go back home again... ======================== "Warren, you'll be having a photoshoot for a magazine, and afterwards, you're going to meet with a songwriter to discuss about the songs that will be included on your second album." Daniel informed his talent actor, Warren Grant, who was sitting at the back of the car. Daniel looked at Warren at the rearview mirror. He saw him looking outside the car window, and it's obvious that his mind is flying elsewhere... "Is there something wrong, Warren?" he asked him. Warren looked back at his Manager, while looking apologetic. "I'm sorry, were you saying something, Daniel?" he
Later that night... Diana is currently standing infront of a tall building where Venice, her cousin, works. She just received her salary today, and she thought of inviting Venice to dine out with her tonight... "Hmm... Is she working overtime again?" she wondered to herself. She was about to call her cousin through the mobile phone when someone called her name. "--- Diana? What are you doing here?" Venice instantly smiled when she saw her cousin. "Well, I just got my salary, and I was thinking of inviting you to dinner, and enjoy a glass of beer..." Diana replied. Venice stared at her cousin, while looking a little bit skeptical. "Why? Is there any special occasion?" she asks, while trying to be cautious. Diana rolled her eyes heavenward after hearing her cousin. "Well, there's no special occasion but, I just want to have a Girl's Night Out with you! Is that a crime already?" she cajoled, just thinking how paranoid her cousin is. "Since it's your treat, I won't say no to y
The next day. Audrey was the first one to come to the office. She went straight to Venice's desk because she needs to drop by some documents for her to proofread. A certain black USB caught her attention. It was just lying on Venice's desk... One idea suddenly came to her mind. She looked around the office, and once she made sure that nobody's around, she picked up the USB and hid it in her pocket... She then walked straight to her private office as if nothing happened... And once she sat down on her desk, she quickly plugged the USB on her laptop's portal, and she looked at the files one by one. She opened a folder which is titled "Manuscript Folder" and read its contents... Audrey suddenly got interested with one of the scripts there... ====================== After a few days... Venice took a deep breath before she knocks at the door of her Boss' private office. "Come in!" she heard her voice. Venice immediately opened the door and went inside the office. "Please take a s
Meanwhile. Dane Levi was driving to MBN building because he had to show up at their Talent Agency twice a week. Once he parked his car, his mobilephone rang just in time. "What is it this time, Adam?" he asked his Manager immediately. "Are you already at the MBN Building?" Adam asked from the other line. "Don't worry, I'm already at the MBN parking lot. And I have no plans to run away like I did before." Dane sarcastically responded. "It's good then. I'm on my way now. I'll see you later." Adam replied. Once their conversation ended, Dane got out of his car... At the same time... "Why did you steal my manuscript, Miss Audrey? Why are you pretending that you're the original writer of the script?" Venice finally found the courage to ask her those questions. "I don't know what you're saying. You're accusing me of stealing your script? And why would I do that? Do you have any evidence to prove that I stole it from you? Be careful of your words, Venice, or else I might sue you!"
The next day. Venice was busy collecting her things from her work desk, and she's putting them all inside the cardboard box. She has to hurry because she doesn't want anyone to see her. "What a surprise." one snooty voice made Venice glance back. She saw Miss Audrey looking at her with a bitchy look. Venice bravely stared back at her. She's not going to back out now. She has to face her and teach her a lesson somehow... "Looks like you're going to resign. I'm glad you've finally come to your senses..." the old woman sarcastically spat out. "You're right. I've finally come to my senses. And I think this is the best decision I ever made in my whole life. By the way, I already put my resignation letter on your desk." Venice boldly replied. "Oh, well. You can be easily replaced. I won't have a hard time looking for another Assistant." Audrey continued on being a bitch. "Goodluck on that." Venice said, in a matter-of-factly tone. "Well, goodluck on your career. If you still have
Evening quickly came. And as usual, Venice is still infront of her laptop, finishing all the tasks that Boss Audrey asks her to do. "Someone should give you a loyalty award, Venice. Eventhough that witch chose her own niece to become the company's representative for the writing competition even if your way much better than her, here you are---still being loyal to that old woman!" Lara did a side comment. Venice smiled when noticed her friend all dressed and glammed up. She's definetely going for another date again... "Well, I think you should be given a loyalty award as well. You and Brent have been together for 4 years together, and you're still going strong as ever!" she said, as she tries changing the topic. Lara's eyes sparkled when she heard her long-time boyfriend's name. "You're right. I can't believe that this is the longest relationship that I have in my whole life. I think he's really "The One!" she gushed at her. "And I'm so happy for you, my friend!" Venice excited
Venice entered the lobby of Starbright Movie Production where she will have a meeting with the CEO of the company and the Director who will be talking with her regarding the new movie project that is based on her manuscript. Few minutes later, she's already making her way to the CEO Private Office... Venice's whole body is shaking with excitement. Once they entered the Conference Room, she was warmly welcomed by Mr. Thomas Lee, the CEO of Brightstar Production... "Thank you so much for accepting our offer, Venice. You will never regret your decision." the company President said, in a kind manner. "Thank you so much for giving me a chance, sir." Venice politely replied. "Sit down first and let's talk about the small details while our others aren't here yet... By the way, can I offer you anything like coffee, tea or soda?" the man asked again. "Just water, please. Thank you." After a few minutes, they are already discussing the plans for their movie project. Venice can't help h

"Let's go,we need you to get out of here or they'll eat you alive." she heard someone talking to her,as she felt someone's hand on her wrist. She quickly pulled her wrist away from that person. She quickly went inside the car. Afterwards, the car suddenly starts running, making their way to the after party venue... ====================== After a few minutes. "We are now at the venue of the after show party.

AFTER THE PERFORMANCE... "You were such a gem, Natalie! You blew everyone away!" Amy,one of the Producers of the play gushed at her as soon as she went backstage after the curtain call. The curtain call took longer than the usual,so that's why they remained onstage for a longer period of time. Everyone in the audience were cheering for them and their applause never stops! "I think everyone did a fantastic job, Amy.It's not just me." replied Natalie. "Of course,all of you were amazing,but you are the main star of the play." Amy insisted,as she was walking with Natalie back to her own dressing room. They were greeted by all of the crew as they were making their way to the dressing room. Natalie congratulated them back because they also contributed something for the success of their first show. After a few minutes,they've finally reached the dressing room.

Maria was listening to everything that she was saying and her reaction was hilarious. "But hey, I already like this Gale guy. Tell me,is he cute or drop-dead gorgeous?" Maria excitedly asked her. Natalie took a sip from her wine glass before she speaks. "Hmmm...He's a cute nerdy type of guy He got this old-fashioned glasses and he needs to work a little bit on his fashion sense but he's an attractive guy." Maria giggled like a highschool girl after she heard Serena's remark. "Oohhh,that's interesting! Maybe I'll drop by your workplace and check him out myself." "Sure. By the way,I'll be very busy for the next few months,and I'm sorry if I won't be around most of the time." Natalie seriously announced. Maria tapped Natalie's shoulder.

She can finally see him face-to-face, after four years of being away from each other. They are oceans apart from each other, and now, they're looking at each other... "Oh, my heavens, I miss looking at those big, warm, eyes..." she achingly thought to herself. "What are you staring at? Stop daydreaming! Are you aware that you're almost five minutes late for our meeting?" Dane lectured her. "W-What do you mean---OUR MEETING?" Venice asked in a daze. She can't take her eyes away from this man. She's afraid that she's just dreaming, and one she closes her eyes or she blinks, Dane will disappear at any moment. Venice's train of thoughts stops in a halt when she heard Dane's voice again. "Haven't you heard it yet? I'm going to be the Director for this drama. It means that we'll be working together." he responded to her question. "W-What, really? No one told me about this!"
