KIERA

Christopher: Sorry for calling you out on a Sunday.

Kiera: It's okay. Why did you want to see me?

Christopher: The main character of our next series is a calligrapher.

Kiera: I thought you were a movie producer.

Christopher: Our production company makes both movies and series. Let me cut to the chase. We'd like you to do the series title and also body double for the actress. The calligraphy scenes will have you doing the calligraphy.

Kiera: I am sorry but I can't ... for personal reasons.

Christopher: If this is about the last time.. I apologize again. I strongly recommended you this time, so it won't happen again.

Kiera: It's true I am still upset about it, but I have other reasons. I am going to travel- 

Christopher: I know I may sound rude, but opportunities don't wait. We are a little short on time, so we'd like your definite answer.

After saying that he left. He was right. I was lucky to get a book but I won't be lucky aways. I have to work hard. I can't let go of this opportunity just so I could roam around the world. This would create a bad reputation about me. I called Caleb. 

Kiera: Hello. Where are you?

Caleb: Just out for something.

Kiera: Alone?

Caleb: No. I'm--

Caleb's mom: Caleb.

Kiera: Oh you're with your mom.

Caleb: Yes. Why did you call?

Kiera: Nothing.. Nothing. I'll see you later.

Caleb: Okay.

CALEB

I was waiting for mom as she went outside. Well she went outside alone but came back with my dad.

Mom: That was Kiera?

Caleb: Hmm.

Dad: Is that how you talk to her? No sweet no nothing.

Caleb: I'm meeting her dad and mom for something. Which wine should I take?

Dad went to an aisle and came back with a wine bottle. 

Dad: Take this. I took this to meet your mom's parents. I got very drunk that day. They loved me.

Caleb: I won't buy it.

Dad: Why not?

Caleb: Grandpa doesn't like you.

I went to the store owner for recommendation.

Dad: You don't know anything. Your grandfather really likes me.

Mom: No he doesn't. He's my dad. I'd know more.

After buying the wine, I gave my house keys and car keys to them.

Caleb: When I am gone you guys look over the place and drive the car.

Dad: You can't order us around without paying.

Caleb: If I pay you, you are a butler. If I don't, you are a parent. It's your choice.

Dad: Punk as ever.

Caleb: I'd like if you guys were a parent.

Dad: What's with you today?

Caleb: I won't hate you anymore. I have someone who cares for me now. Anyways, I booked you guys two seats on a restaurant today. The details have been sent to your phone. Enjoy your dinner.
