Chapter 4 - Piece of Work

'I'm glad you've decided to take on my offer, Miles. Please see me in unit forty-seven of Sky Towers right in the corner of Cornelia Street if you are not familiar this Monday, 10 AM."

The message read. Miles was sitting on the couch of his apartment as his eyes were focused on the letters displayed on the screen of his phone. He had been playing games on it when he received a reply to the email he sent to Soren Chandler two days ago.

Sky Towers.

'What do I expect?' He asked himself as he pressed the screen off button. Sighing, he laid on his bed and looked at the ceiling of his room.

Of course, someone like Soren Chandler would be living in such luxurious place. Even if Miles worked as an editor for thousands of years, his salary would never be able to afford a unit there. Aside from that, he turned his phone on again and unlocked the screen. He had the same password as everything else that requires his personal password.

He easily forgets things and one way of him coping through that was having the same password on everything including the combination of his apartment, his laptop, phone, and even his socials.

Miles opened the calendar app and saw that it was still Thursday.

"Three days..." he pondered over the idea. As much as he was nervous with this work he's about to have with Soren Chandler, he knew he had to prepare. It could be a lot of things ranging from an interview with the actor or a shoot. He did not know.

"Besides..." Miles hummed as he opened the email again and repeated Soren's message.

"It doesn't sound like he's angry, right?" He persuaded himself over and over again because in every aspect that he looked at, Soren doesn't sound mad. 'Don't fool yourself, idiot. He's an actor. Even their messages could be deceitful!'

Groaning, he pressed the off button again and slumped on the couch.

He initially had things to do right now such as taking photos of celebrities and other newsworthy individuals but the moment he agreed to take on Soren Chandler's offer, Miles told his boss about it and Jackson was quick on the uptake. He gave Miles an entire week off to prepare for the collaboration.

For most, it might seem Jackson was being considerate of him but for Miles, he was slightly appalled by the idea. For the photojournalist, it's as if Jackson gave him such a lengthy rest to prepare for one work because he wasn't that important in Seven.

"Hmp. I'll show them!" Miles seethed in anger before rolling to the side and falling of the couch. A loud thump echoed through his apartment followed by his groans of pain.

Well, there's nothing he could do about it now, can he? There's just one thing to do!

He hurriedly grabbed the remote of the TV on the table just right beside him and turned on television. He chose a streaming application and instantly searched for Soren Chandler. After a few seconds of loading, four results popped up.

After the Bridges of Fate

Elegies

Rush of Gold

Matching Wounds

"Uh..." Miles pondered what to watch first.

These were the four films Soren Chandler starred in and every single one were huge hits.

'Imagine only doing four films but you've already won countless awards from them and is considered as one of the highest paid actors?' Miles still couldn't get his head around it. The fact that Soren Chandler has these four films up his sleeves that had critics considering him as the best actor in today's generation was crazy.
