“You’re here again…” the keeper greeted us without much interest.
“Thanks for having us,” Jeremy replied cheerfully.
I plastered a polite smile on my lips when I sensed that we weren’t exactly welcomed there. Apart from us, I doubt that anyone went down there to visit the archives. It was quiet and very cold down there. The keeper willingly let us in without much comment. Although I had been there only once before, I remembered exactly where Ace’s works were.
“It might be worth checking other works as well. I’m not sure where the old marketing files are stored, though…” Jeremy said from behind me.
“You’re right. Do you want to split up and look?” I suggested.
“Good idea. I guess that you want to take a look at Ace’s past files, right?” Jeremy asked knowingly.
I wondered if it was that obvious to him that I was excited to dive into Ace’s past works again. His guess was spot on, and I wasn’t bothered to deny it.
“Yeah, I’ll take Ace’s part so you can see if you can find anything interesting amongst the old marketing files,” I replied.
“Great. Let’s pray that we find something…” he mumbled before he stalked off in search of the marketing files.
I headed straight for the cabinets that stored Ace’s past works. If I remember correctly his works should be organized in chronological order. That didn’t help that much because I didn’t know what exactly I was looking for. I sighed before I started going through the various folders in the cabinet.
“Marketing…marketing plans…where are you?” I mumbled to myself as my hands got to work.
My eyes scanned through page after page of documents. Ace’s handwriting looks so pretty, and his drawings and sketches look so neat even though they’re supposed to be rough work. Soon, I found myself reading through his storyboards and checking out how he organized a couple of different scenarios as back up ideas.
His work really is amazing…
“Karina…”
I jumped and turned around at the sound of my name to find Jeremy standing there with an unimpressed look on his face.
“Umm…can I help you with something?” I asked in a small voice.
“Yes, you can help me find something marketing plan-related instead of just gawking at Ace’s past storyboards…yeah?” he replied sarcastically.
“R-right…sorry…” I murmured as I instinctively hid the papers that I was holding behind my back.
Jeremy clicked his tongue at me in annoyance as he shook his head from side to side. I watched his back as he walked away from me.
