Macy sighed when she found a pile of manuscripts on her desk. Well, don't get her wrong, she really likes her job and what she does but she thinks she somehow has the right to be fed up with all these routines, right? Then she turned and saw some of her employees were busy with their respective jobs.

"What time is the meeting with Writer Coangco?" she asked rather loudly, startling some of the employees.

The four employees turned and looked at each other. Hope one of them answers the question. Macy sighed softly. Was she really such a terrifying and intimidating boss that no one would dare to answer such an easy question?

"Who is in charge of arranging the meeting?" she asked again.

An employee raised his hand. "I am, ma'am. Er... Writer Coangco called yesterday and they said that they will come around eleven in the morning."

Macy nodded slightly. "Prepare everything. Ask the setter whether the sample for the cover has been completed. Ah, contact the printing department too." She instructed.

"Noted, ma'am!" cried the four officers.

Macy then entered her office and walked towards her desk. She put her briefcase on the chair and took one of the manuscripts and skimmed it. She saw that there were several notes from the employee who was in charge of being the editor for the script. Well, before being declared eligible for publication, all manuscripts must get approval from her before entering the next stage.

Macy sighed and put the manuscript back on the pile. "Hah.. today is going to be such a long day."

She muttered before she started his work.

Andrew looked at his reflection in the big mirror. He prepared to go to the publisher's office. After tidying up his clothes, he opened one of the drawers and took out a box containing his glasses. Making sure that his cellphone and wallet were in his jacket pocket, Andrew then walked out of the room and saw David who was finishing a bowl of ramen.

"You haven't had breakfast yet?" he asked as wear his glasses.

His agent turned and mumbled softly. "I have to get the keys before coming here."

Andrew approached his agent and saw a car key on the dining table. "Oh, the car has arrived?" he asked with a big smile.

Well, Andrew missed his car. It took a long time to arrange the shipment from Singapore. Of course, besides bringing all his belongings, Andrew will bring his favorite car, no matter where he goes. He loves it too much.

"That's how it is. I should have just picked it up this afternoon, but I'm sure you don't want to take a taxi, do you?" David answered as he stood up and took the bowl of used ramen to the kitchen sink. "Have you found the editor's business card?"

"Yes, I did. Macy Bianca Cruz. I wonder, is she my age? How is she as a person?"

David shrugged. "Who knows. Maybe she is younger than you. Because honestly, when I first met her, I didn't think she was your age. And I think you can work well with her. Editor Cruz looks so professional with her work. And oh, by the way, she is the youngest editor-in-chief at St. Haven."
