Chapter 1691
Tina gave Skyler a nudge and a wink as they stepped out of the director’s office. “Come on, let’s go meet the big cheese. Mr. Rivera, our CEO, is quite the young gun. Might seem a bit prickly at first glance, but he’s a straight shooter- always fair with us minions.”
Skyler just couldn’t find the right words to respond.
They were at the CEO’s office door in no time. Tina knocked, announcing their arrival. “Mr. Rivera, Free’s here.”
Skyler’s gaze immediately landed on a familiar, towering figure. With the surname Rivera being common as muck, it never crossed her mind that the CEO of a gaming company would be-Zavier.
Zavier caught sight of her too. “You? You’re Free?”
She nodded, “Yes, Mr. Rivera. Pleased to meet you.”
Tina looked from one to the other, eyebrows raised. “You two know each other?”e2
Both of them attended Capital College, and being equally outstanding, it wasn’t surprising that they would know each other.
Dispensing with further introductions, Tina suggested, “Well, since you’re acquainted, let’s get down to brass tacks.”
Zavier fixed his eyes on Skyler. “Did you single-handedly craft those lyrics and melodies you sent us?”
“That’s right,” Skyler confirmed.
“And what sparked the idea for this creation?”
The game had been around for a while, with Zavier commissioning scores of theme songs. Many had hit the Marc, but none resonated with him quite like Skyler’s. Both the tune and the words had nailed the game’s essence.
“The inspiration definitely came from your game,” Skyler said.
“You game?” Zavier seemed surprised.
“Not until recently. I downloaded it and played for a few days specifically to write the theme song.”
“Just a few days?”
That she could produce such a fitting piece for the game theme after only a few days was testament to Skyler’s exceptional musical talent. But Skyler mistook his astonishment for skepticism. “If you’re questioning my integrity, Mr. Rivera, I’ve got nothing to say. But maybe hear out my creative philosophy before casting doubt.”
Catching the misunderstanding, Zavier chose not to correct her. “Continue, then.”
Skyler took out her notebook, containing notes she made while creating this piece, and earnestly talked about the inspiration and ideas behind her creative process.
When she finished, Tina couldn’t help but applaud. “Free, you’re incredible! You’ve hit on all the key points Mr. Rivera’s been harping on. We just couldn’t find anyone to satisfy his standards until now.”
Zavier, not usually one to mince words, was generous in his praise for genuine talent. “Your work is the first that I’ve been completely satisfied with since the game’s launch. It’s spot-on for our theme.”
Skyler was taken aback by the rare compliment. “Thank you.”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
Zavier observed her, noting the stark contrast between her usual timidity and the confident, articulate professional before him. When Skyler talked shop, she shone, her enthusiasm infectious, commanding everyone’s full attention.
Sensing such potential in Skyler, Zavier’s admiration grew. “Your work is excellent. I’m taking it. Name your price, and we’ll do our best to accommodate. “Just stick to the terms in the call for submissions,” Skyler said.
“No other demands?”
“None
