A new life

40

Y/N's POV

I wake up to my phone ringing. Normally while I sleep my phone is on sleep mode, making sure that I don't get awoken but I guess it is past 9 in the morning now and that is when my phone does allow calls and messages to go through even if there is no alarm set.

I groan and reach for my phone, looking up to see who is calling me this early. My rhythm is still a bit messed up from the jet lag and this was the first morning I slept past 4 in the morning.

I desperately need the sleep because after a busy period with filming and visiting different places I haven't been able to prioritize it.

"Good morning this is Y/N Johansson-Jost speaking." I pick up the phone when the number says it's unknown.

"Hi Y/N, it's me, Sandra. This is just my personal phone instead of my work phone. I know you're just visiting New York right now but would you be able to come into my office here in the city for a quick meeting there are some things I'd like to talk to you about." She says and I make a mental note to add the phone number in my phone so as not to confuse myself in the future when she calls me from this number. I'm not the one to pick up when an unknown number calls me.

"Yeah, sure I think I have the time for that. When would you like to meet?"

"Are you free around 2 pm?"

"Yes, that works for me. I'll see you then." We both say goodbye and I hang up the phone. Instantly I get a notification that an event has been added to my work calendar. Sandra set it up when I became her client so the both of us have a clear view of when I'm free and whenever I'm not. So we can both schedule things at a glance without accidentally double-booking me.

I'm still surprised that I didn't wake up earlier since I'm still slightly used to the European time zone. Since it is a reasonable time to get up I decide to just get ready for the day, even though I have nothing else planned except my meeting with Sandra now. It will be fun to see her in real life again instead of on my screen. We had only seen each other in person once and that was the first time I met with her and became her client.

It is so crazy how much my life has changed since that day. It was the first 24 hours of people even knowing I was Scarlett's daughter and even the reaction to that was insane. Since telling the world about Scarlett being my mom, there have been many run-ins with the paparazzi which has become worse when I came to LA and was revealed to be part of the cast. instances where fans are coming up to me have also become a regular thing, initially they only knew me through social media but the number grew when they knew I was a part of the movie and especially when the trailer was revealed.

When I get downstairs I see mom sitting at the table seeming consumed by whatever is going on on her laptop.

"Morning Y/N," she says keeping her focus on her laptop.

"Morning mom." I say back, walking over to the coffee machine and making myself a coffee. While that is going I get some toast out to eat for breakfast. I love a big breakfast but for the day-to-day, I started making a way quicker and easier breakfast. It especially came in handy to have quick breakfast items ready when I was filming, as I was often rushing out of the house to make it to set in time.

"Are you doing anything fun today?" Mom asks, putting her laptop away and putting her full focus on me now as I sit down at the table with her.

"No not really. I have a meeting with my manager but other than that nothing. I didn't plan to work during my visit here. I think I deserve the small break after months of filming." I chuckle taking a sip from my coffee, humming when the nice liquid hits my tongue. "You're not working today?" I ask her.
