Nasa sasakyan na sina Julia at Nick papunta sa Walt Disney Studios kung saan kilala ito bilang home of the greatest fantasy & animated films ever made. Hindi alam ni Julia kung bakit nagmamadaling pumunta doon ang manager niya. He said it was something "really" important.
Pagdating nila...tuloy-tuloy sila papunta sa Chief Executive Office na kung saan sila hinihintay ng nag-iisang Robert Iger.
"Just in time." nakangiting sabi ni Nick sa sarili ng buksan ang pintuan ng office. "Goodmorning Sir." sabay yuko nito as a sign of respect.
"Goodmorning Nicholas." sinenyasan nito si Nick na pumasok sa office niya. "Hautea...the famous young Star. How are you?" nakangiting tanong nito ng makita si Hautea sa likod ni Nick.
"I'm fine. Got used to the busy schedule of being a celebrity." pabirong sagot naman ni Hautea.
"What about your work Nick? Does Hautea here gave you some pain in the neck?" nagtaas ng kilay si Iger habang nakangiti.
"Don't worry about my job Sir. It's completely a piece of a cake. Hautea is a good girl." sabay himas sa ulo ni Hautea na parang aso niya lang. Medyo natawa naman si Iger ng inalis ni Hautea ang kamay ni Nick sa ulo niya at nagpout pa.
"Well, let's go back to business. I have something to show the both of you." binuksan niya ang desk drawer niya at kinuha ang isang black folder. Iniabot niya ito kay Nick upang mabasa nito ang laman ng folder. Nanlaki ang mga mata ni Nick ng mabasa ang nakalagay sa first page ng folder.
"For Real?!! You must be joking, right Sir?!What does this means?" kitang-kita sa mukha ni Nick ang pagkagulat at the same time parang hindi makapaniwala.
"What is it?!" curious na nagtanong si Hautea. Gusto niya man tingnan at basahin ang mga nakasulat sa loob ng folder pero di niya magawa dahil nakaharap siya kay Nick.
"Believe it or not but I'm giving Hautea a very big break. I'm picking her to do the lead the role of the very main character Marieta." nakasmile pa rin si Iger sa dalawa.
"Marieta?" naguguluhang tanong ni Hautea kay Iger.
"Yes, you will be playing as Marieta. I let Director Steve pick for the role and he chooses you. What can you say about it, Nicholas?" tinanong naman niya si Nick.
"First Woah! This is huge! A big project for Hautea will be so awesome! Second, as the manager of Hautea I need to review the proposed project. I want Hautea to know everything about the movie. I want her also to be the one to decide about this." matalinong sagot naman ni Nick. At detalyadong binasa ang mga nakasulat sa dokumento.
"Is that so? Very well then. Let me know your decision as soon as possible" sabi naman ni Mr. Iger kay Hautea. Hautea just nod for agreement. Binalingan niya si Nick at nakitang seryosong nagbabasa. Para tuloy siyang mas naintriga pa. Ngayon niya lang nakitang ganun ka seryoso sa binabasa niya si Nick. Nakakunot pa ang noo nito. Tahimik lang siyang naghihintay kay Nick na matapos magbasa ng muling magsalita si Mr. Iger.
"But I really hope you do accept it Hautea. This is a huge break for your career. Not only that but you'll be able to travel to new places and be able to promote your album with no hassle. How's your song writing these days by the way? Ready for that next album?" Mas excited pa yata si Mr. Iger tungkol sa album niya kaysa sa kanya.
"Not yet. I'm still on the middle of writing. And some of them are so lame coming from my own point of view. I just feel that I lack the inspiration to write. But don't worry, with the help of my friends I'll be done in no time." She smiled, reassuring the CEO. Totoong pakiramdam niya minsan ay nawawalan siya ng inspirasyon upang magsulat ng mga panibagong kanta. The last album she wrote was about how she moved forward with her life. And her inspiration came from her fans and friends who supported her in everything she went through. Iba naman this time. Ayaw niya namang puro pang broken hearted at moving on ang tunog ng mga kanta niya. Somehow she felt something's missing. Pero kung ano man yun, puso't isip niya na mismo ang tuluyang sumasara para hindi ito alamin pa. Naputol ang pag-iisip niya ng magsalitang muli si Mr. Iger.
"Oh yeah. That's right. You're good friends with Selena and Swift. How's our Alex Russo? Her name keeps on popping on my tv screen." Sabay turo nito sa taas kung nasaan nakalagay ang flat screen tv na nakahang lang sa wall. Napatingin siya dun kaya pati silang dalawa ni Nick ay napatingin din dun. Tumambad lang naman sa kanila ang headline ng balita tungkol sa Jelena Relationship. Selena Gomez and Justin Bieber's on-and-off relationship.
"Well, her boyfriend is such a prick if that's what you mean." Mabilis na sabi ni Hautea. Makita niya pa lang ang dalawa ng kahit ilang segundo ay naaaburido na siya. Sino ba naman ang hindi? Lagi na lang niyang nakikita ang bestfriend niyang umiiyak dahil sa boyfriend nito, at patuloy pa rin na nagpapakatanga samantalang marami pa naman dyan na mas deserve ito. She immediately change topic. Nakita niya din kasi na bilang umiba ang aura ng manager niya. "Anyway, about her, can you also cast her in that movie? I might need her though. She's a great actress."
"No need to ask for that young lady. She's already a cast of this film. She'll be playing Maureen. I think she's going to be your sister if you're going to play as Marieta." Napabalik sa pagrereview ng documents si Nick. Hindi man maikaila pero pag tungkol sa mga exes niya ay iniiwasan niyang makinig. Nick might be in a relationship with someone else pero hindi naman mawawala yung concern niya sa dating girlfriend niya. Kaibigan pa rin naman sila. At alam yun lahat ni Hautea. Sa reasons why her two bestfriends broke up. Kaya parang may kung anong pumitik sa kanya upang magdecide.
"Then whatever it is, I accept it." Determinadong sabi niya kay Iger. Gulat na gulat ang CEO at manager niya sa sinabi niya. Lihim naman siyang napapangiti sa isip niya. She definitely have a plan.
"Are you sure about that Tea? You haven't read the documents." Concern naman ni Nick. Syempre iba pa rin kung nabasa na nito ang documents.
"No need. I trust you guys. So let's get on with this movie." Ngumiti siya to assure them that there's no need for her to read it. Somehow gusto niya lang masurprise. Isa pa, alam niyang hindi siya ididisapoint ng mga ito. Pakiramdam niya, it will make something special. Something worthy, memorable. Not just for her but for her friends, as well.
"Then let's call Steve."
