"Be ready at 7 tomorrow morning!" I told Andre. He nodded.

Tomorrow we will have a meeting with a director for a new upcoming play. The play will have A-list casts as usual. That's why I love my job. I got the opportunity to meet amazing actors and actresses.

Oh let me introduce myself. My name is y/n. Y/n y/l/n. I'm 25 years old and I work as a stage manager at National Theatre London. Too young, I know. But I took my work very seriously.

I love theatre since I was a little kid. Watching the play always makes my life more fun and filled with lots of different emotions. I love it.

Tomorrow will be just like any other day. We have a meeting for new play. The play called Medea. I know nothing about that play or the cast, we need to find out tomorrow.

I arrive at the theatre at 6.30 AM. I like to come early so I can check on everything before everyone comes. I have my own room in this theatre. This place just like my second home.

After 20 minutes strolling around the building, I walked back to my office and get my things for the meeting.

Andre run towards me. He is my assistant and also my best friend.

"Morning boss" he said panting.

"Why are you running?" I ask.

"I thought I was late, so I run for my life" he tried so hard to control her breathing.

I just chuckled and shake my head.

We continue walking to the meeting room. There's only 3 people there. Carrie the director, Ross the co-director and Ben the writer.

"Is it going to be only the five of us?" I asked.

"No. The casts will be here too." Carrie said. I just nodded and sit across her.

It's almost 7 and a lot people start coming to the meeting room. The door was closed. We're about to start the meeting.

"What are you waiting for Carrie?" I asked.

"The main cast still not here" she said.

"Alright we'll wait 5 more minutes" I told her. "So unprofessional" I whisper to Andre.

And suddenly someone rushed enter the room. Panting. She must be running too just like Andre.

"I'm so sorry I'm late. It took me forever to get a cab." She apologize and sit beside Ross.

She's really beautiful. Not too tall but not short as well. She has a dark brown hair that matched her dark brown eyes. She look familiar though but I can't remember from where.

"Okay.. let's start" Carrie said.

The meeting went pretty well. Andre write down every detail for the play and the schedule for rehearsal. And me.. I can't keep my eyes from that beautiful lady across me. She has a captivating smile and voice.

2 hours passed and the meeting come to an end.

"Alright everyone we'll start our preparations tomorrow. Thank you for coming." Carrie said.

Everyone start to leave the room except Carrie and that beautiful lady.

"Ah y/n. I'd like to introduce you to the main cast. This is Helen McCrory. She'll play Medea." Carrie said.

"Hi I'm Helen. I hope we can work together well." She introduce herself and extended her hand.

"Hi.. I'm y/n. I'm the stage manager. And this is Andre my assistant" I shook her hand. She shook Andre's hand too. "If you need the stage for practice or anything please let me know." I smiled to her.
