Uptown Boy (Narry Storan)

02. What's your name?

HS

It's finally Friday today. Two weeks since Zayn has joined us. And according to Chris, he's a valuable asset to our team. He's a shy lad but his ideas are brilliant and apparently he's quick to think on his feet. Which is good, I gotta thank Liam for this. Not to mention, we were quite quick to become friends. Not close friends like I am with Liam or even Mitch, but friends none the less.

However, these two weeks have been madness. All of us have been rushing for the smoking campaign, trying to get it to it's best for the client, everyone was rushing for ideas for the autumn collection. And finally, four days ago, we submitted all our designs to all the clients, and thankfully they're finally all satisfied with the final outcome. And for the next four days, thereafter, plus today, we have been releasing the smoking campaign non stop, everywhere in all different forms of media.

Then, there's a knock on my door.

"Come in." I call out, continuing to glance through the draft covers for the next issue of tmrw magazine.

"Guess whose campaign is nominated for Best Advert Award." I hear Rayna's overly excited voice ask as she bounds into my office. My eyes widen.

"No way." I state disbelievingly, stopping work on my computer and turning my attention to her instead.

She nods excitedly with a grin.

"Yes way! Styles Studios!" She cheers and I break out into a laugh.

"Oh my god, that's great! Holy fuck! Which campaign is it?" I ask.

"The smoking one of course." She tells me as if I'm stupid. My eyes widen in surprise.

"What? But that has only been out for four days." I gush with a grin and she simply nods excitedly.

"I know! But the public loves it!" She gushes.

"This is fucking crazy." I say more to myself.

"So, what are the details for this nomination?" I ask.

"Categories are Best Print Ad, Best Campaign, Best TVC, Best Social Media Ad and Best Ambient Ad. And since our campaign is both- well, a campaign and print ad, we are nominated for two categories." She informs me and I nod in understanding.

"And when will the results be released?" I ask anxiously.

"End of August. The date isn't confirmed yet though." She tells me. I nod in understanding, that's in two months time.

"And apparently this award is sponsored by Swarovski and BMW. So it's a pretty huge fucking thing." She enthuses. "So nominees are invited for this gala where the winners will be announced. Oh, not to mention it's a fund raising thing too."

"Holy shit. This is bigger than I thought. Which is good. You know what, tell everyone to go back at noon." I say and her eyes widen slightly, but a smile is creeping onto her cheeks.

"You're sure? We still've got the next issue for tmrw that we-"

"Don't worry about that Rayna. That's next issue. We just submitted the last one like, a week ago. The deadline still stays though. Just go have fun today. It's a Friday anyway." I tell her, waving my hands dismissively.

"Thanks Mr Styles." She gushes before she eyes me slightly and I raise a brow at her questioningly. "You know," Rayna starts. "I've always wondered why whenever you hear such news you get excited. We've had countless of other awards before." She points out and I chuckle softly.
