Chapter Fourteen

Saturday and Sunday passed by quickly, and soon enough it was already Monday.

Selena left early for work, so it was only Taylor and the cats in the flat.

Taylor did her morning routine, ate some breakfast, brushed her teeth, took a hot bath and fed the cats.

Taylor chose a simple blouse with jeans. Taylor knew that Selena wouldn't approve her look, but it was nothing to fancy to dress up for.

Taylor finished applying her lipstick, and took one last look at the mirror.
Taylor looked at the clock, and it was already nine o'clock.

She bid the cats goodbye, and exited her apartment.

Today was the day, that Taylor has been waiting for.
And today was the day, for Taylor's road to fame.

As Taylor walked through the streets, she stumbled across the café.
The same café where Grace, Charlie and Taylor had a meeting, and the same café where Harry and Taylor met again.

Taylor suddenly had memories of Harry.
Harry the one who had always made her smile, Harry the one who chased her begging for forgiveness and the one and only Harry who broke her heart.
But those were all memories, now.

Taylor brushed the thought away, and kept walking. She shouldn't be thinking of him, this was her day and no one was going to ruin it.

After walking a few blocks away, and looking at shops that were about to open, she finally reached the building.

Taylor went inside by the frosty glass doors, and cold air suddenly wrapped her body, making Taylor a bit chilly.

"Good morning, how may I help you?" The receptionist asked, with a name tag named 'Clara'.

She wasn't the same receptionist, when Taylor first came here. She wondered where did she go.
But that was none of her business.

"I'm suppose to record for my song." Taylor said.

"Of course, Taylor Swift, isn't it?"

"That's my name." Taylor answered.

"Please go to the 17th floor, there should be a recording studio, and Ms. Grace is waiting for you." She said and gave Taylor a smile, which Taylor returned.

She waved to Clara, and went to elevator, which was empty.

Taylor pressed the 17th button, and she could feel the elevator lifting her up, and she could also feel her heart pounding and her palms being sweaty.

Taylor finally reached the 17th floor, and the elevator door opens. Taylor saw Grace, Charlie and other men and crew staff talking to one another.

Taylor stepped out of the elevator and took some steps forward hoping that Grace or Charlie would notice, but they were too busy talking and no one even put a glance at her.

Taylor cleared her throat, and Grace turned her direction at Taylor.
Grace smiled, and went to Taylor and gave her a peck on the cheek.

"I hope I'm not too late." Taylor said, and looked at the guys that were talking to Charlie.

"No, you're not, actually you're just in time." Grace mused, and guided Taylor to the guys.

"Taylor, meet Kyle Newman. He's going to be the director for your music video." Grace said and, introduced a man looking in his late thirties.
He flashed a smile at Taylor, and offered his hand for her to shake and Taylor gladly accepted it.

"And Taylor, this is Dominic Sherwood. He'll be your partner for the music video." Grace said, and introduced a guy looking in his late twenties, he looks like at Taylor's age.
