Automatic Love

Brea's P.O.V.

One month has passed and things were getting better. The script that Tai and I have been working on is done and has been submitted a couple weeks ago. Kelvin is officially non-existent and out of my mind completely. I feel happier and mentally stable.

What's been happening lately is that now I've been working a script that a production studio needs, Delaney has been earning more money than usual because a lot of people have been going to her art studio, and today is Angela's last day for finishing up her script.

I'm glad that everyone's goals are finally coming together. All the hard work that we put into our work was worth it. In the meantime, I was in the elevator waiting to get to my floor. When I made it, I exited and made my way to my office.

The vibe that I got when I entered the office was a bit weird. Everyone was staring at me and some people were whispering to each other. It was making me feel uncomfortable because I hate being the center of attention. Something was up, but I wasn't sure what it was.

All of a sudden, everyone began to clap for me. I was confused because I didn't know what was going on at all. Instead, I smiled and waved at everyone to show my appreciation for their praises.

Seriously, what the heck is going on? Just then, I noticed Parker and Angela in a corner talking to each other so I just went up to them to see what was going on. When they both noticed me, their facial expressions had changed.

"Hey..what's going on?" I asked.

"You haven't heard?" Angela asked.

"Heard what?" I answered.

"Girl, c'mon!" Parker grabbed my arm and rushed me somewhere. Angela followed us and we ended up going to an area where there was a small crowd in front of our bulletin board. "Make way for the queen everyone!" Parker pushed the people aside.

They backed away and all three of us made it in front of the board. There was a list of the people that participated in Nolan Torres contest and only my name was highlighted. Beside my name, it said something else.

"I..won?!" I squealed.

"Yes, congratulations!" Angela cheered. Everyone in the office began to clap again and I turned around to see them. I smiled at everyone thanked them. This was so unexpected. Some of the people that I work with are better writers than me and yet, Nolan decided to choose me.

I'm aware that Tai helped me a bit on this project, but it was still surprising. Everyone got out of my way and I walked towards my office to put my stuff down. Angela and Parker followed me. When we got there, I placed my bag down on my chair.

"So now what?" I asked.

"I'm not sure yet, but Vivienne will probably call you to discuss the plans with you." Angela responded.

That makes sense. "Ah, okay." I said. I took a seat in front of my desk and took out my laptop from my bag. "I'm so happy for you!" Parker cheered.

I hope he's okay. He worked really hard on his script for Nolan since that's his idol. If I were him, I would be a little bummed out, but won't show it.

"Thanks!" I said.

"Of course, we have to go now but we definitely need to celebrate during our lunch break!" Angela said.
