what happened in a small town

part ten

How do we Merge into a place where we feel we don't belong?

The answer is that we don't belong; we just go with it, breathe and move, and do what we have to do until the end.

The strangest and most terrible thing is that we put our entire lives on hold, waiting to grow up, waiting for the perfect time, waiting to get rich, waiting for the perfect opportunity, waiting for the perfect person, the perfect job, the perfect person to travel with to the places we want to visit, the perfect man to make our dreams come true, the perfect story like the movies we like to watch, the right circumstances, the perfect things... and after all this waiting we discover - too late - that we put our lives on hold until we lost most of it.

The truth Is that what won't happen now can't happen later; what you won't do now, you probably won't do it later; the things we won't do because we wait for the perfect time to do them will never be the same.

Putting your life on hold means putting your life on hold for something you're not sure will happen.

Marla chose not to wait to do what she wanted to do, she wasn't sure that waiting would do her any good, after five years she had taken a bad wrong turn, Harry was no better than her, he was in the same place with a woman he apparently didn't love but accepted her to complete the appearance, she had hurt him and left him without a word but she couldn't put the rest of her life on the edge of waiting like everyone in CaydeVillage did until their life ended.

Ethan is one of those people who put their lives on hold, after she had held herself together in the room by herself, she went to the desk and did what she always does best, she dropped herself into work, put on earbuds, and disconnected from the surroundings with music and some videos about random stories, and she started to learn about working in this agency when they gave her the password to check the files.

She noticed several things; first of all, Ethan is not good at what he does, the agency falls for every deal it makes, and she thinks all these deals are coming under pressure or recommendation from his father and his perfect sister because no one in their right mind would sign a contract with this agency, secondly, the agency does not have a filing system, if you want to research or know something all you have to do is blindly search to get to it, thirdly none of the models who are hired abroad know the first thing about marketing.

The Spain telenovela marketing rights have been contracted and it is guaranteed because it has its audience, some people love this type of popular long series in Spanish or even its dubbed version, but they failed to promote it or sell it to platforms or even good TV stations, it ended up on stations that no one opens and a single platform that has an electronic application and the number of agency employees exceeds the number of its subscribers, not to mention the quality, and there is a case that ended without going to court and without notice, she also believes that his father ended it with a huge sum of money as compensation, and she decided that this would be the beginning of it.

At first, she pulled all the files and asked them from the archives to her office, of course, they came after two hours because the employees were not used to the work, she created a file system and a system of numbers and means of communication for public relations which is the basic thing that any agency that wants to make money, let alone succeed, must have!

It took her hours to do this, she had consumed five cups of Nescafe and she hadn't even entered half the files yet, the papers that hadn't been uploaded and the numbers that hadn't been put into a financial system, and the financial accountant who submits everything to the chartered accountant in the main institution didn't know much.
