The next morning.
Skyler set out two hours early. Arriving an hour ahead at the gaming company's building, she decided to wait downstairs until it was time to go up and meet her contact.
At the reception, she simply gave her name and was warmly escorted to the Music Director's office by the receptionist. "Miss Free, right this way, please. Ms. Tina has been eagerly awaiting your arrival."
"Thank you," Skyler said with a polite smile.
Soon, she was ushered into the Music Director's office. "Tina, Miss Free has arrived."
Tina looked up and was taken aback by the youthful face before her. "I didn't expect Miss Free to be so young and yet so talented in songwriting."d1
Music wasn't something everyone can excel at through sheer effort alone. Some people were just born with a knack for it. And Skyler was one of those people, destined for musical greatness, though her family circumstances had often held her back.
Being new to the professional world, Skyler wasn't sure if the compliments were genuine or just polite flattery, but she took them at face value nonetheless.
She chuckled, "Most of the players of the game are around my age, and the protagonist is about as old as I am. Maybe it's because I can empathize with her that I was able to create the lyrics and melodies."
"You're too modest," Tina reMarced.
There was a common belief that the youth of today were arrogant and overconfident, and Tina had met her fair share of young people who were all bluster and no substance. The young woman before her was a true talent with a refreshing sense of humility. Tina was quite taken with her. "The others haven't arrived yet. Shall we chat for a bit?"
"Sure," Skyler agreed.
"What would you like to drink, Miss Free?"
Skyler brought her own bottled water. "I'll just drink this."
Although Skyler was young, she had talent, and Tina, being someone who valued talent, particularly appreciated young individuals like her.
