Lance Gregory

Chapter 59: Lance Gregory

Operations at HGN are going smoothly, it was like any other day and Mia is carrying out her duties like always, and like any other regular day, she is once again absorbed in her work that she didn't noticed that it is already lunch time.

Lance head keeps on turning in the cafeteria, he is having lunch with his staff but he keeps on looking for a face to pop out in the crowd.

"Don't tell me she forgot the time again" he murmured to himself, his staff have noticed that he keeps on looking for someone, after their ocular slash get away last time at the beach, they noticed that even though Lance and Mia started off as mortal enemies they could get along quite well and Lance have put his guard down making him more likeable at work.

"Director, the she might be at her studio again, now before you even have a head longer than an ostrich I suggest that you finish eating and go" then the whole table laughed at the remarks given to him by one of his writers

"I am not looking for someone, I am observing, if you want to become a good PD like me you have to observe the public as much as you can" he is too shy to admit that he is indeed looking for a certain someone but he guess they can see through him.

"Lance-PD, I've been working for you since you started working here at HGN and I can definitely say that you are indeed looking for Sound Engineer Mia Lee" then they laughed again.

"Alright, alright you got me, I am just amazed that she always forgets to eat her lunch and can continue working" everyone stared at him and laughed again, Lance's blood is starting to boil but then his attention was captured by the face she have been looking for since he arrived at the

cafeteria.

Mia was walking towards the counter with some of the people in the Engineering department, she was smiling and laughing with them like she used to back in college.

When he first joined HGN he was looking for her, she is actually the very reason why he decided to work here, His uncle Blake kept on bragging about an intern who had the guts to talk back to him but at the same time has a very good working ethics.

He got curious and decided to come to work with his uncle Blake, and there he saw the most poker faced woman he have ever seen, at first he was at awe at her ever elegance sitting there in the lounge.

Then another intern walked to her and they started to talk. He can't help but also laugh at himself. It was as if he saw another person.

She is very comical, loud and straight on point crazy.

But he liked it, the whole time that he was there while waiting for his Uncle Blake to finish work, he never had a boring time watching her interact with the people around her.

Lance can feel her authentic character that he was sure he won't find in this industry.

"Listen up guys, this is my nephew, Lance Gregory" then he stood up and bowed to the staff present, his uncle then hold his head and ruffled his hair that irritated him.

"Boss! What the hell happened to you?" it was Mia who shouted the comment, most of the staff in the room have laughed at the comment and his uncle face darkened. It only raised a question mark on his head.

He only figured it out when his best friend did the same thing to one of their friend when he introduced his sister to them and like a crazy he person he also laughed both at the previous situation and to himself.

"What's wrong with you Lance? You are seriously creeping me out" said by one of his friends but he just shrugged it off and went on with their day.

On his first day, he looked for her everywhere but she can't seem to find her, he got no choice but to ask his uncle where she is, by that time he doesn't even know her name and wasn't aware of Mia's status.

Blake who explained to him the situation and told him that Mia's currently on leave, they didn't have that much of an interaction and they didn't exchange a word but she have impacted his life more than she should.

It made him gloomy learning that he won't be seeing her again and made him focus on his work more thus making him the youngest successful PD in the industry.

Then after 4 years, she just popped out of nowhere, seeing her again after 4 years have caught him off guard and the only thing that he could say is "It's nice to work with someone of my age" like what the hell?

Whether he admit or not he waited for her to comeback for four years and now he can't even make an impression that would last to her? He's really an idiot.

After that incident, he decided to cast her into his new variety show but that was a very wrong move, he was just thankful that the heavens decided to give him another chance and they saw each other at the beach when they had their ocular.

But that day also made him realize that Mia have someone she cares about but he's a good sport, he might have known her for a long time but they are just starting their friendship, and learning her condition from his uncle Florence had only made him decide to be just there for her,

Lance doesn't want to complicate things for her, she already got a lot on her plate and the least that he could do is be a friend that she can turned to.

"Hey Lance!" he was then brought back to reality when Mia called for him "Are you done? Can we sit here?"

"Not yet, you can join us if you like" then Mia smiled her sweet smile that made his heart flutter more.

'Calm down Lance, you can only be a friend nothing more'.
