Marja and Millie met one year ago in a night club and as weird as it is they were no supposed to be friends or to even engage in a conversation. Millie is a DJ and Marja asked her if she had Harrison Llyod Barton in her track list and Millie didn't even move or pretend to listen to her question. However, at the end of the night, Millie joined Marja in the cab's line to give an album signed by the well-known pianist Harrison Llyod Barton. Immediately, they became best friend and for some reason unknown they moved together in three months. Marja is unemployed but she receives a monthly allowance from her grand parents. She likes to spend time visiting museums and she participates in a lot of concert. Marja has a big interest in classical music and especially the pianist, Harrison. Millie is the opposite, she lives for the drums and techno music, She participates in every festival and raves parties. Marja is not a fan at all but there opposite lifestyle brought them together.

Today, Marja has an interview in a big company that manages artists. She is very excited about this new opportunity. In her bag, she has her favourite token with her. It is her good luck item. "You are going to be great, don't be afraid, you have got this! ". She takes her bag and leaves for the interview. On her way to the interview, she stops for a coffee. "What if I meet Harrison Llyod Barton, I will collapse and fall into despair. No, actually, I would sit down next to him and dive in his world. Someday, I will...". She walks to a small house, on the door, there is a paper saying "I am back in 10 minutes". Marja decides to walk in the park situated on the opposite street. In her mind, she thinks that Harrison is in the office talking about new sponsors or a new show and she gets excited about the simple idea that he might be there. So for 10 minutes she stays there doing nothing but luckily it is not raining today in London. "Where are you Harrison? Where are you my love?". A black man walks towards the house with a cup of coffee in his hand from a big American brand. For a minute, he stares at Marja and comes to her. She can read his name on the cup "Roberto".

Marja: Hi, my name is Marja and I came here for the interview.

Roberto: Oh, yes, I forgot, please come with me. I am forgetfully, I don't why. Please come.

In the office, Marja remains very calm and stays in her chair without moving. Roberto looks around searching for some papers in her office.
