Strings Of Hope : Echoes Of Faith

Chapter 1 : Frustation

"I must say, you all did a splendid job today," praised the manager of the filming department, her voice filled with genuine appreciation. The words resonated through the air, reaching the ears of the hardworking crew members who had "poured" their hearts into the day's work. The exhaustion from a long day's work was evident on Felix Shun's face as he meticulously tidied up the set. At the age of twenty-two, with only a few months left until his twenty-third birthday, Felix found himself working in a rather peculiar filming company. It was difficult for him to put into words what exactly the company did, but one thing was certain - he had a deep passion for photography and filmmaking. However, it was the allure of a substantial salary that had ultimately drawn him to this profession.

Marriage was not a topic that interested Felix in the slightest. He was a unique blend of Japanese and British heritage, hailing from the United Kingdom. While his family resided in Japan, Felix had ventured overseas to America for work. His presence in the foreign land was solely for work purposes. How he had managed to secure such a prestigious position was a mystery even to Felix himself. Perhaps it was his impressive past accomplishments and extensive experience that had caught the CEO's attention. In fact, he often found himself shouldering the responsibilities of the CEO, who seemes to possess a rather lackadaisical and burendesome demeanor, who also proved to be a constant source of his frustration.

The responsibilities that came with his role were vast - handling office tasks, managing paperwork, attending meetings, and so much more. Felix had an unwavering commitment to perfection, a trait that earned him the reputation of a workaholic. Despite the challenges he faced, Felix held a deep respect for the CEO, who happened to be a remarkable woman. With her long fiery red ponytail cascading down her back, and striking yellow eyes, she possessed a unique charm and beauty. However, her idiosyncratic habit of resting her legs on the table was undeniably rude, though Felix felt powerless to address the matter and resigned himself to the reality that little could be done to rectify the matter.

There was one unfortunate incident that still lingered in Felix's mind - the day his beloved camera had met its demise, shattered due to the CEO's anger and carelessness. While he understood her anger at the time, he couldn't help but feel like the victim in the situation. Well, justice had prevailed, she compensated him for the damage caused.

As the filming session drew to a close, Felix diligently packed away all the equipment, ensuring that every prop and piece of equipment was in its rightful place. With a serious tone, he commanded the crew, "Remove the boxes and let those responsible for cleaning attend to their duties immediately." Fatigue weighed heavily on him, but he soldiered on, gathering all the scattered papers and meticulously reviewing every single document/papers, one by one to ensure nothing was left unexamined. With unwavering determination, he scrutinized each page, his eyes scanning for any overlooked details. Time seems to stand still as he immersed himseld in the task at hand, hus focus is unyielding.

"Ugh..." Minutes turned into hours as he meticulously cleaned and arranged the workspace. Every surface gleamed with newfound brilliance, as if the very act of tidying up breathed new life. The air felt lighter, the atmosphere more conducive to productivity.

With a sense of accomplishment, he turned his attention to the rest of the room. Methodically, he cleaned and arranged every item, restoring order to the once chaotic space. The sound of shuffling papers and the gentle hum of the cleaning supplies filled the room, creating a symphony of productivity.

As the last item found its rightful place, a sense of tranquility settled over the room. The tension that had filled the air dissipated, replaced by a renewed sense of purpose. Satisfied that everything was in its rightful place, he beckoned his colleagues to return to the office. With a renewed sense of purpose, they resumed their tasks, their minds unburdened by the remnants of disarray. The office hummed with the harmonious symphony of keyboards clacking and pens scribbling, as the team seamlessly picked up where they had left off.

In this haven of order and efficiency, they forged ahead, undeterred by the distractions that had momentarily disrupted their workflow. With each passing moment, their determination grew stronger, their resolve unshakeable. Together, they embarked on a journey of productivity, united by a shared vision and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

But, those doesn't make all Felix's frustration go away, of course..
