Exes' Baggage And More

Chapter One Hundred Seventy Four

Andrew is finishing his latest writing at a coffee shop near his studio. With a plate of bun bread and a glass of iced Americano, he looks so focused.

The situation of the coffee shop being so crowded was not a problem for him anymore. Especially with a headset attached to his ear.

He had been at the café since an hour ago and he had almost finished ten pages of the draft he was working on. It was an achievement for him.

After re-checking all the writing, he smiled and saved the draft document. Finally, he could drink an iced Americano that had almost completely melted away.

After saving the draft of the document, he turned off his laptop. Along with the ringing of his cell phone. He received the call with the headset still plugged in.

"Hello."

"Where are you? Are you still at the café?"

David's voice was heard on the other end of the phone. He mumbled softly as he put the laptop into his backpack.

"Why are you asking? Aren't you planning on going back to the province today?"

"I canceled it. There's an email from CR. Have you read it?"

Andrew's brow furrowed. He grabbed his phone and checked his email inbox. "I just checked my inbox. Why? Oh...?"

He could hear his agent's heavy breathing. Well, the email from CR doesn't look good. Maybe for this reason, the man canceled his return to his province.

"So what are we going to do now?"

"Um? Can we talk in the studio instead?" he asked while tidying all the notebooks, pens, and others.

"Okay. I'm on my way too. Maybe forty more minutes."

Andrew stood up, slinging his backpack over his shoulder. "Okay," he said quickly and then hung up the phone. He stowed the phone in his jeans pocket and bit into the bun and held it in his mouth. He returned his plate and drinking glass to the counter and then rushed back to the studio.

Heck, it feels like he will never be free from problems.

Macy watched the busy editorial department in her room through the large window.

Today was the first day of the expo, so some of the editors' desks were empty because they went to the Exhibition Center building where the expo was taking place. Especially with Jino in control and not her. But she feels proud of her subordinate.

During the past month's expo preparations, Jino really prepared well. Even much better than her expectations. In addition, Gil is slowly starting to take over some of her responsibilities as editor-in-chief. After she signs the document for promotion as director next month, Gil will automatically be promoted to editor-in-chief in her place.

Macy smiled then returned to her desk and checked some of the documents that were piled up. Well, some have been checked by her already and some have been signed. So, actually today there is not much she can do.

A knock on the door caught her attention after a while. Slowly the door opened, and Gil's head poked through the gap of the slightly open door.

"Ma'am, the documents for..."

Macy held up the completed document to show Gil. The future editor-in-chief then entered the room and took the documents he needed. Well, he saw that there was a post-it with a note from his boss on the front of the document.
