Sam blinked. The tension melted off his stature.
"Define Love," he tested with his lips. He clapped his hands as the idea sank in. "I actually like it! It has the same ring as 'Defying Gravity'. Well, it would be much closer if it was 'Defining Love' but I think it could work out well."
Rowen gritted her teeth, playing with the title in her head. It did have the same implication. 'Love' as a concept had many elements to explore. People wrote about it in different mediums. Yet, they were still so much to write about. No words could thoroughly explain every part of its concept.
The reason why it became a series is because it opened doors to more elements and more possible scenarios. Any viewer could watch at any point and be able to hopefully relate. There could be one arc for many audience members.
"I will have to run it by the board but more names would also be welcomed," Richard cut in, exhaling sharply. He wasn't sure what they wanted but more titles meant more chances of one being approved.
"It would be much smoother if they explained what they want," Rowen spat. "A short title would be easier to remember. If they demand a lot from the title, we might need to expand the word count."
"But we can always just shorten it with a suitable word."
"I think you forget not everyone has a wide vocabulary," she continued. Her gaze bore into his steel gray eyes. "If they want a bigger range, the title must remain short and simple. The problem with it is it can't convey everything. There are too many things to consider."
Silence fell over the table.
No one dared to share another rebuttal but Richard remained doubtful. He couldn't accept the new title either. It was only two words and both were generic. However, he could see Rowen's point. It wouldn't be good to overdo it.
It was a matter of balance.
"Unless you can come up with something better, I think it's the perfect title," Ambryan said, breaking the ice. Since nothing else came up, he proceeded to explain the reason behind his suggestion.
Richard scowled in his direction. "I know it connotes what the previous title conveyed but why is this is perfect compared to that one?"
Ambryan flickered his eyes to his right.
His gaze met a woman with cropped black hair and brown eyes. Her eyebrows scrunched at the laptop screen, oblivious to the stares on her. The typing continued even when they paused. She captured as much as possible before they faded away from her mind.
"Eve."
The secretary stopped. Her fingers stayed on the keyboard as her head looked up. Several pairs of eyes observed her. She blinked. This wasn't part of her tasks. Ambryan caught her off guard—apparently, the others were too.
Why would he do that?
Eve gulped, switching her focus towards her boss. "Yes, Sir Hathaway?"
"What do you think of 'Define Love'?" Ambryan asked. He pressed a finger knuckle against his lips. A sly smile tugged the corner of his lips. "Give me your honest opinion."
Cricket noises filled the secretary's thoughts. They were blank so she could absorb the meeting's discussion. If she thought too much, it would disrupt her typing. She bit her tongue and forced herself to compose a perspective on the subject matter.
Her eyes landed on the screen. For the meeting, she used an online program. The discussion usually went by quickly that she always forgot to save the document. This way, she wouldn't need to worry about that.
