Because of that, the rest of my day had been filled with nothing but curiosity. I pleaded with him to tell me but he was one tough opponent to crack. He didn't tell me anything until the end except for saying I should prepare on Monday.

'How amazing! My curiosity will be killing me over the whole weekend! How am I going to write in this condition? Kaiden, you bully! You shouldn't have opened the topic if you're not planning on telling me the whole thing!'

But then again, I was the one who brought my research to him so it was my fault in the first place. Oh well, good luck surviving the weekends, Senara!

And so, I was once again distracted from my writing. If that wasn't enough, I suddenly received a call from Ms. Qian Yu.

"Hello there, Senara!" she greeted me in a cheerful tone, like how she usually spoke. Ms. Qian Yu had always been the bubbly, optimistic person ever since I met her.

"Ms. Qian Yu! Hi! It's nice to speak with you again!" I greeted her enthusiastically since I missed her. "How have you been?"

It had been a long time since I last spoke with her. She sent me a few emails after I signed the contract with them, teaching me the ropes on how the film adaptation of "Armageddon—Dawn of the New Generations" would go into process.

"Oh, I'm good. Thank you for asking. And you? How's living and studying in Red Dragon country going on for you? Are you having any difficulties? And the area you're living in—is it good? I'm surprised you opted out from the lodging recommendations and got your own place. You don't need to be shy about it, you know. It's provided by the company anyway. It's already a big favor that you moved here. It's the least we could do."

"No, I'm okay—great even! I'm not having any difficulties, too since we're staying at a friend's house. They are helping us out on lots of things so I'm good."

"I see. That's good then. But don't hesitate to tell me if anything happens okay?"

"I will. Thank you very much." Ms. Qian Yu was really kind and sweet.

"It's nothing. Anyway, the reason I called is that… dan-da-da-dan! We finally got a screenwriter for you! Tadah!"

"WOW! That's great! Who is she? Or he?" I wasn't sure if the screenwriter was a boy or a girl but I somehow assumed she's a girl—hopefully, too. I'm not so sure if I'd be comfortable working with a guy.

"She's a girl, yes. Actually, I scheduled for you two to meet next week, Saturday, if you're available."

"Of course! I don't have school on Saturdays and Sundays so I'm free."

"Great! In that case, I'll tell her you agreed and I'll email you the details on where to meet and the time and all that. Sounds good?"

"Good. I'm so excited to meet her and work with her!"

"Oh, you should be. She's been awarded multiple times. You'll learn a lot from her."

"That's really great! Will next Saturday just be a meet and greet or are we starting already?"

"Ha-ha-ha! You're so excited, that's good!" Ms. Qian Yu chuckled. "For now, it will be a Meet and Greet session but we will discuss a couple of things, too. And then, agree on a final schedule for you two."

"Got it. I look forward to it!"

"My pleasure. Well, I won't take any more of your time. Enjoy your weekends!"

"You too! Thank you!"

And so, we bid our farewells and the call ended.

'Oh my goodness! I can't believe it! I'm finally meeting the screenwriter I'll work with! I'm definitely taking lots of notes! Or better yet, record everything she would say since I'm 100% sure they will all be valuable lessons.'

Thinking that, I made sure to prepare everything that I would need once I meet her even if it wouldn't be until next weekend. Thanks to that, I was so pumped up that it defeated my unanswered curiosity.

I texted Kaiden to inform him about it since his room was so far away from mine—I'm too lazy to walk there again. I also messaged Crystal—I didn't bother calling since she might be asleep due to the difference in time zones. Then, I went over to Hora's room to tell her the good news and of course, we ended up giggling and screaming and jumping in joy.

After that, I was finally able to continue writing my book. I ended up writing till late in the night. I only came out during dinner to eat with Hora and Kaiden. By the next day, I busied myself with writing again, chatting with Crystal over the phone—with the three of us, and in the afternoon, finished my homework. I thought I should take advantage of the opportunity when we're not too busy doing projects yet, and all those complex stuff during college.

Soon enough, Monday came—the day that Kaiden would be surprising me with the thing on the list that I'm not sure what, that he's gonna do. I felt nervous and excited when I remembered. My curiosity came kicking in again.

As per usual, Kaiden drove us to school, we hung out a bit before our first class. Then hours passed by until my last class before lunch came.

While I was putting my books in my bag the moment after the bell rang, I noticed my classmates huddled up on the doorway. Then, they started squealing and taking pictures.

'Hm? Why are they gathering down there, giggling as if there's a celebrity by the door?'

Then, it suddenly hit me… Kaiden!

The moment I realized it was him, I rushed on packing my things and almost sprinted towards the door.

'Could it be that thing he was supposed to do? But which one is it?'
