283 Undercover Excitent
Although it was the middle of a weekday, there were many people in the shopping district. I guessed that just goes to show how into shopping people were. Then again, most people that were there were younger people who haven’t started working yet or the elderly. Many tourists were among them as well. I was certain that within a few hours, this entire place would be packed with people.
I fully assud that Ace knew where we were going. He must have spoken to Julianna and the team already and that ant that he knew all the spots where the comrcial would be displayed. My heart began beating harder and faster in my chest at the thought of how close I was to finding out the audience’s reaction to the comrcial that we had worked so hard to produce.
Many couples walked hand in hand as they looked into the many attractive shop displays. I wondered if we looked like a couple on a casual shopping trip together as well as I walked with my hand in Ace’s. Seeing our reflection in the shop display window made
think that we looked like quite a pair with our casual clothes on. No one would suspect that we were actually here to gather so insights for our comrcial. The way Ace held my hand and led
through the throng of people on the sidewalk made
feel like we were on a date indeed.
“That’s the first spot…” Ace said as he pointed his index finger at a very large screen located on a large shopping mall in front of us.
“Wow…” I murmured in awe as my eyes fixated on the large screen.
Our comrcial is going to appear there?
“Julianna went all out…” Ace said what I had in mind.
“I don’t even want to imagine how much it costs to get our comrcial up there…” I muttered to myself as my eyes stared up at the large screen above us.
Ace was right about Juliana going all out about these comrcial placents. This was supposed to be a non-profit project but it seed like so much investnt from our company had gone into it. That made sense considering how important it was for our company’s reputation for us to win this competition.
.....
“Not much. I think Julianna negotiated for a very good rate with the excuse that our work is non-profit and that it’ll make it look like the mall is supporting a good CSR cause,” Ace replied with a careless shrug of his shoulders.
“Oh, I see…that’s smart…” I said as I nodded my head.
“It’s Julianna…” Ace said with a small laugh.
“Right…” I mumbled in reply.
I had to say that I was very impressed with her work and hoped that the audiences would be just as impressed if not more impressed. Once again, I was reminded that the CEO’s office team was really comprised of the top talents in the company and that I probably had a long way to go to match up with them. I stared up at the screen before taking in a deep breath. Instead of feeling down about it like before, I started to feel more determined about improving myself so that one day, I would be at their level too.
The way he said her na made
feel like he was so proud of her, and although that I knew that he probably ant that professional, it still brought a slight stinging pain to my chest. My eyes darted to Ace’s face and then I wondered if he ever ntioned that he thought that I was smart in front of other people like that.
Probably not…
Another comrcial was playing on the screen and it was clearly not yet ti for the launch but that only made
feel even more excited. Ace checked the ti on his watch before shoving his hands into his pant pockets and turning to .
“What is it?” I asked with slight worry.
“We still have so ti, I guess. Want to grab a quick al before coming back here?” he suggested.
“I’m not really hungry…” I mumbled.
It was true but more importantly, I was scared of missing the first mont that our comrcial would be displayed on the large screen.
“You know, the comrcial will be played over and over once it starts, right?” Ace asked before grinning at .
He probably knew what I was thinking and what I was scared of. Of course, I knew that the comrcial would be looped forever until our assigned slot ca to an end.
“It’s not the sa thing. I want to see it since the very first ti that it starts playing. The audiences’ reaction the first ti is going to be the most unique as well…” I argued my case passionately.
“Alright, alright…I get it,” Ace said with a chuckle.
I smiled at him when I found him smiling at . The way his hazel eyes seed to sparkle told
that he was probably just as excited to see the comrcial as I was. Instead of going out to watch a romantic movie on our date, here we were waiting to watch the comrcial that we worked hard on to produce.
“Umm…if you want, I can go buy you sothing to eat…” I suggested while hoping that it would be a good-enough alternative.
“I’m fine. Let’s go out for a proper al after you’re satisfied with watching the comrcial here,” Ace suggested.
“Ok…” I murmured.
I felt his arms slipping around my waist before he pulled
backwards a little until my back was pressed up against his hard and larger fra. His arms around
felt very warm and secure and I was overwheld by his familiar scent. Many people walked past us without paying us any mind as the shopping district started to get busier than before.
“Umm…how much longer do we have to wait?” I asked after standing there for a mont with Ace’s arms around .
