“I almost had a heart attack in there. The way he thought about it for so long gave me a bad feeling at first,” Jeremy told me as he were on our way back to our desks.
“I know exactly what you mean. Well, at least we got the pass otherwise the project would have been delayed,” I replied before I let out a loud sigh.
“Thank you, you two,” Julianna said from behind us.
“Oh…” I murmured as I turned around to face her.
“No need to thank me. If you want to thank someone, just thank Karina. After all, it was her brilliant idea that helped get us through that,” Jeremy replied before he started laughing.
It felt a little awkward for him to give me all the credit like that. Julianna looked at me before he lips broke out in a bright smile.
“Thank you, Karina. You’re doing well,” she said.
“Thanks…” I thanked her in a small voice.
I watched as she waved and turned to walk away from us. A warm feeling started budding in my chest and I realized soon after that I suddenly felt quite proud of myself and my achievements. We were so close to the key part of the competition already and that was the launch of the commercial. After that, the committee would decide on the winner. The other component that would play a large role would be the amount of donations that the commercial would be able to rake in.
“What are you thinking about? You should be celebrating and not frowning,” Jeremy said as he peered close to my face.
That was when I realized that I had been frowning while I was thinking about the next phase of the competition. It was easy to control everything on our side, but it was impossible to control or accurately predict the donations amount and that made me nervous.
“Sorry, I’m excited but a little anxious about the next phase. You know, the launch and the audiences’ reaction…and the donation amount…” I confessed honestly.
“That’s so normal. I’m sure everyone feels the same way. I, for one, will never get used to the feeling of
launching a new commercial. It makes me nervous every time and I always find myself thinking of the worst outcome possible,” Jeremy replied before he laughed a little at his own thought.
“You feel like that too? I don’t think I’ll ever get used to it,” I said with widened eyes.
Jeremy just laughed at my reaction. Although it seemed like we could relax for a bit now, I knew that this rest wouldn’t last long. Things would really pick up when the date for the commercial launch is set and that was bound to happen very soon.
