A wonderful day, today, at the Ethereal Picturesque Studios office many were feeling quite happy about receiving their results on a photography competition named 'JoyPlay'. Sitting at their desks, most photographers went through their submitted photos, others occupied themselves with other works. colleagues talked and shared ideas, comparing each other's works with compliments flying all-around.

The EPS office was feeling very bright today, hoping for the best results for the competitors. They were convinced their efforts would pay off with a nice prize at the end, helping them gain more popularity in the photography field. It's modelling field had sky-rocketed in recent months, they were certain that this competition could do the same for the other.

those of who weren't talking to others were scrolling through their emails, waiting for the utmost important one. The Reveal! Before they knew it, the most helpful Secretary, Medeea, walked hurriedly into the office, phone in hand and blinding smile on face. People quickly came around as they got distracted by the sound of her cheerful voice, perhaps she had the results? She was basically bouncing in place happily, once everyone was there, she began reading the email she had received out loud.

'Dear Competitors,
Over the past days we have reviewed all your lovely pictures! Unfortunately, we could only pick one of you to win! We are more than happy to have had all of your wonderful photographers join in and submit your works! We couldn't thank you enough for participating in JoyPlays' newest competition, the prompt being 'something you feel a thrill and shiver from! That one motivator!'

Now to Announce the winner!

The photographers of branch H377 began to converse with themselves, excitement racing through them as Medeea pulled the video up. The YouTube video was put onto a projector, everyone now facing the pearly white walls.

the famously known leader of JoyPlay, Christina Lee, showed up on the wall.

"Today, as you all wonderful photographers know is the day we announce the results of the 'JoyPlay' competition." Christina stated, getting straight to the point, "A lot of lovely and wonderful works caught our eye, fortunately, we have decided on a winner. And their name is...

Lucy Vermont from The Artist Lens"

The room filled with disappointed sighs, the photographers all returning to their desks. While there were some celebrating how far they actually did get, most were rethinking on if they were good enough. Amongst those were Delice Becky.

the light-skinned blonde beauty sat reviewing all her past and present photos, thinking back to when she first thought about this career. As she ran her hand through her hair she thought of how, maybe, this wasn't the right idea for a career. That maybe she won't get anywhere with photography, she should have just stuck to an English major. Perhaps, joining this company did her no good. Maybe this was a stupid dream after all, a field like this won't help her family.

She thought back to the moment her manager, Marte Danko, initially showed her the email to JoyPlay's new competition. She remembered the look on his face, him being so excited and hopeful for her. Now she can only believe she has not only disappointed her family but her manager too.

The idea of being a photographer never peaked her interest. Not until her university life, when she was in the middle of taking an English Major. She found out that she'd liked taking pictures of not just herself but her surroundings, so she started looking more into photography. After graduating she ditched all the English literature. She began a great search on who she really wanted to be. Someone who makes her parents proud? Or someone who makes herself happy?

all was decided for her when 'Ethereal Picturesque Studios' or 'EPS', a popular photography and modelling studio, asked her if she would interview for them. She was more than delighted to as this was her first opportunity at pursuing the career she wanted. She, of course, got the job and quickly got popular within her little office area. She was a bubbly, pretty blonde girl. Who wouldn't like her?

Photography was a way to express herself, how she felt, but no person understood the concept.

This train of thoughts went on for another 15 minutes before she got interrupted by a gentle tap on the shoulder. she raised her head slowly, an evident frown on her usually cheery face. she turned her head.
