We meet again

𝐼'𝑚 𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑟𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔

The rest of the day I was holed up in my office trying to work on the script for Langston. I read it 7 times and multiple times I started all over again, deleted, changed, fixed dialogues and scenes that in the end were better written and described than I had thought.

I haven't decided the ending yet but I have time, in 2 days I've made a lot of progress.

It was 3:30 when I decided to take a break from writing and went back to check the books Amber had left on my desk. I looked for the children's book as it caught my attention. It was a rough draft of the dialogue and some of the illustrations they would put on each page with their respective text. "Hattie Harmony, Worry Detective," good title, it would catch the children's attention.

I opened the book and started to read a little of what the book would talk about, it's cute, it's really aimed at a child audience but it could also help the adult audience.

I kept reading until one name caught my attention "Elizabeth Olsen", once again, there it was. I finished reading the book and looking at the cartoons, I really liked it. I made some small corrections and wrote a few notes.

"Amber" I called over the comm to my assistant. "Yes Miss Taylor?" she peeked through my office door. "I am done reviewing these 4 books, please send them back, they are all accepted for the next review and the publisher will publish them as soon as they are done with the final review" I let her know taking note of what I was saying. "Very well miss, I will take them and send them today so they can make their corrections" she affirmed taking the books from my desk "anything else you need?" she added standing in front of my desk. "That's all for the moment, thank you" I finished with a grateful smile.

I wonder if Elizabeth sent her book here, to my publisher because she knows it is MY publisher or if someone else did. I wouldn't be surprised, we have recognition of being one of the best publishers in LA and in the entire United States; but well, let's move on.

I was about to get up from my desk when my phone started ringing, it was Flo.

H- Hello love.

F- Hi honey, I'm just calling to let you know that I'm already in NY.

H- Good, how was your flight?

F- A bit tired, there was a lot of turbulence and I couldn't sleep for a minute.

H- Oh honey, get some rest before you go to the set.

F- Yes I will, but first I will take a shower.

H- Okay, did you eat anything?

F- Yes, on the way to the hotel I stopped by to buy some pasta.

H- Okay love, take care of yourself, I'll talk to you tonight, ok?

F- You take care too, I miss you!

H- Miss you too, good luck, I love you!

F- I love you! *muak*

I hung up the call with a smile and put my phone in my pocket. I think I'll call it a day here at the office; I have to go shopping and probably go say hello to my nana and the family.

"Amber, I'm out, I have more important things to do than go through books with the same plot" i let her know standing in front of her desk. "Okay Miss Taylor, do you want me to take those books back to the warehouse?" she asked pointing with her thumb to my office behind her. "Please, I was going to ask you something else but I can't remember" I put a hand on my head "Ah! send me the numbers and names of the people who called in yesterday afternoon and today, when I get home I will call them back" I concluded. "Ok, I'll get right on it" agreed Amber. "Thanks, I'll see you tomorrow" I said goodbye leaving the building.

I put my things in the car and headed to the market. I bought some meat, chicken, some salmon, spices I needed, pasta and a few other things. Finishing I went home to wash and put away everything I had bought.

After doing that, I made the bed, picked up the room, cleaned up, and rearranged the living room since it was a bit messy. I threw myself on the couch to rest a little, it was almost 6 pm, I got in the bath and got ready because at 7 I had arranged to pick up Scar and Rose for dinner.

6:50 pm

I arrived at Scar's house and parked my car. I took down a present I had forgotten to give Rose and knocked on the door.

"Hi!" I was greeted by Scarlett. "Hi, are you ready?" I asked walking into her house. "Almost there, this girl won't put her boots on" she complained referring to Rose. "Let me help you" I took the shoes from her hand "hey princess, look what I brought" I showed her the puzzle set Flo and I had bought her. "Is it for me?" her eyes lit up. "Just for you" I affirmed smiling "but what do you say we put your boots on first so we can put it together?" I suggested placing the puzzle on the table. "But I don't want to put those boots on!" she complained. "Why?" I questioned her response. "They don't fit my dress" she pouted.

I turned to look at Scar with a smile and returned my gaze to Rose. "Okay, then why don't you go find some boots that do fit your dress?" I suggested. "Ok, I'll be right back, don't go Aunt Harper" she ran off to her room to get her shoes. "You're a better mom than me, I can't believe it" Scar joked sitting down on the couch. "I'm just an aunt who has patience" I winked.

"These! I want these shoes" announced Rose coming out of her room with pink heels in her little hands. "Rose, you can't walk in those, don't you remember you almost fell the other day?" her mom reminded her watching her from yhe couch. "But I want these mommy, please?" she begged with puppy dog eyes. "Whatever" Scar agreed. "Will you help me?" she handed me the heels to help her put them on. "We're ready!" I warned standing up. "Let's go to dinner because I'm starving" said the pregnant woman heading for the door.
