Drowning In Blue
Chapter 1: The Editor
Yerin
Is this Blue? The famous author of Like We Used To.
Blue
Yes. Its me. Is there anything I could do for you?
Yerin keep on typing a message but end up on deleting every words.
Blue frown as he look at the screen of his phone. Wondering what things keeping her long enough to reply.
Yerin
One of our mutual friend told me you need an editor.
Blue
Who told you I need one?
She was stunned. Her friend won't lie to her. She badly need the job to support her expensive life living.
Qian, one of the newest author of IOP Publishing Corporation. He haven't meet him yet. But they exchange few conversation in chat.
Blue
You can send your portfolio in this e-mail.
bluenights@writes.com
Yerin almost jump into her seat. Keep flattering her long curl eye lashes in front of her laptop.
She read it right.
Too much giggles and excitement. She doesn't know how to reply.
After that, she prepared her samples before getting a peaceful night sleep.
Chapter 2: Yerin
She's inspired writing a novel at this moment. It's not her story. But a story of a famous writer in POP Publishing House.
Yerin check her e-mail. It's been two days after she send her portfolio to Blue.
Still wondering if he's done reading it. Or if she ever pass to his qualification.
Yerin send a message to Qian.
Yerin
I'm nervous as hell. Do you know that.
Qian
Why the hell get nervous for nothing?
Yerin
Did Blue told you that I sent him my portfolio?
Qian
No. I haven't talk to him these pass few days.
Qian
So you're really interested into it?
Qian
Just be sure you didn't applied for editor just to see his face in person.
Yerin
I never thought of that when I send my portfolio.
But I've been dying to know his reason. Why Blue doesn't want to meet his fan. He never held any booksigning event. Yerin thought silently.
Qian
I'll try to ask him later if he found an editor. In that way, he won't be suspicious about you.
Yerin
Thank you so much. I don't know what will happen to me if I didn't add another job now.
Qian
Don't think too much. It's too early to say that he will hired you.
Qian
Anyway, why don't you just stop hiding behind other writer's pen name.
Qian
Aren't you tired being their shadow for a long time. While they enjoy the limelight and benefits.
Yerin
I'm used to it. I don't have the power to stand up for my own right.
Qian gritted his teeth. Clenching his left hand in annoyance.
Qian
That POP Publishing really suck! They don't treat real writers rightfully.
Yerin
One day, I'll have more books to write under my own pen name, Qian.
Qian
Why don't you sent a manuscript at IOP anonymously? Maybe they would accept you. Just like Blue. Nobody will know who you are?
Yerin
I'm afraid POP will have their own way to find out. I still have a contract with them. As long as their stage act writer don't quit.
Yerin
Thank you so much. I feel comfortable. I have a friend like you.
Chapter 3: Blue
He's been busy lately playing games on his laptop. Until his phone ring. It was a notification tone.
Blue type a new message for his team mates and leave the games. Then grab the phone.
He read his message out loud.
Qian
Hey! Still looking for an editor? I could recommend someone.
Blue
There's someone who sent a portfolio. I haven't check her works yet.
Blue
That girl said she know you.
Qian
Who? I know a lot of people. They might be lying to you.
Qian
She's a good friend of mine.
Blue sighed. Actually, he didn't want to see her portfolio for some uncertain reason.
Qian
She badly need a work. If she'll pass. Please choose her. She do some editing in my manuscripts too.
Blue
Good friend? Probably might be his girlfriend too.
He open his e-mail to check if he had received any message from Yerin.
He read the message out loud.
Blue
Good Day, Mr. Blue Scott!
Here's the three sample of my works. Each title has three chapters.
Take your time to evaluate my works. If ever I have pass into your requirements and qualifications, I'm looking forward for your reply.
Sincerly,
Yerin Lee
Blue
It was not someone that I thought would be.
Blue downloaded the three attached files.
And take his time reading it carefully.
Blue open his last conversation with Yerin. And type a message.
Blue
I hope we could work peacefully in the near future.
