Luna

Chapter 31 - Flower Road

The sun shone brightly at the normally gloomy capital. As the few birds left chirped away, the smell of fresh coffee filled each and everyone's nostrils at the big conference room.

Taking a relatively large sip. Luna allowed the hot beverage to seep into her stomach, before placing the cup down.

"Hello, shall we start the presentation?" The brunette asked. Her hair differently from the when she had last been in the company was now shoulder length, giving the woman a more mature look, fitting well with her manners.

"Because I believe everyone is busy, we will make this short. I believe everyone has seen the email I sent informing the schedule of presentations right? I have reviewed the options you have sent me and I have also emailed you the final decision. Did everyone receive it?"

Although Luna had taken the last week off to do her yearly mourning. Since the month was so chaotic, she just couldn't leave work behind, so in the end the one week turned to two days of actual rest and the rest into homework. Which in a way was good since Luna calculated as her legal time out. Since apparently by law she was overworking herself.

Seeing as everyone complied, she just decided to proceed as she poured herself another cup of coffee. How could she resist, during the last days of her week off she had stayed in her parents house and even today's coffee was made by her mother.

"Tonight at midnight we will go have a final rundown. So right now I just want a quick demo." Luna said grabbing her paper to take notes. "Oh, and if anyone wants coffee, please feel free to take some. My mom made it."

As the meeting started, another man was seen getting out of his office to go to one.

"You have another meeting at 10 am, a video conference at 2 pm, and we will close with another video conference at 4 pm." Mark said waking behind his boss.

"That's it?" Leonard asked confused.

"Yes, at 8 pm you have moonlight entertainment's..." The man started taking only to be interrupted.

"Luna is back?" The man asked. Although his facial expression remained ice cold his voice contained a hint of excitement.

"Yes, Mr.Bright. Do you wish to schedule a metting with Moonlight's CEO?" Mark asked with a little smirk on his face. 

"No need." He said to the other man's surprise.  Making the poor secretary even stop his steps."I will call Luna myself."

Back at the meeting Luna observed as the presentations shortly ended. Wearing a proud look on her face, she was satisfied. The team she chose to herself was really the best.

"What about you? What song are you going to sing?" Lisa asked. Although the age gap was quite significant, she had actually grown quite close with the girl. Since Luna was always at her office, almost all the trainees knew where to find her. And because she had always given the opportunity for interaction, she had grown quite close to the chosen ones.

Opening her mouth and closing. Luna was now lost. Before she was sure she wanted to sing the song she had once sang in her audition, however she wondered if it was too dark. Now that she actually was willing to announce to the word her heavy personal secret, Luna was unsure. Perhaps secrets were better being untold after all.

"I am not so sure. I have two songs I'm in doubt." She said, pouring herself yet another cup of coffee. Although the caffeine made her hand tremble a bit she quite liked the euphoria.

"We can help you. Sing for us and we could try to see what would best fit the performance."

Shocked, Luna didn't know if she was even prepared to do so. However looking at the expectant eyes in front of her, she decided to rip it out like a band aid. After the two first days of her break she had realised many thing about her grandfathers passing and herself. So she decided to free herself one band aid at a time.
