Tina gave Skyler a nudge and a wink as they stepped out of the director's office. "Come on, let's go meet the big cheese. Mr. Rivera, our CEO, is quite the young gun. Might seem a bit prickly at first glance, but he's a straight shooter – always fair with us minions."
Skyler just couldn't find the right words to respond.
They were at the CEO's office door in no time. Tina knocked, announcing their arrival. "Mr. Rivera, Free's here."
Skyler's gaze immediately landed on a familiar, towering figure. With the surname Rivera being common as muck, it never crossed her mind that the CEO of a gaming company would be—Zavier.
Zavier caught sight of her too. "You? You're Free?"
She nodded, "Yes, Mr. Rivera. Pleased to meet you."d1
Tina looked from one to the other, eyebrows raised. "You two know each other?"
Both of them attended Capital College, and being equally outstanding, it wasn't surprising that they would know each other.
Dispensing with further introductions, Tina suggested, "Well, since you're acquainted, let's get down to brass tacks."
Zavier fixed his eyes on Skyler. "Did you single-handedly craft those lyrics and melodies you sent us?"
"That's right," Skyler confirmed.
"And what sparked the idea for this creation?"
The game had been around for a while, with Zavier commissioning scores of theme songs. Many had hit the Marc, but none resonated with him quite like Skyler's. Both the tune and the words had nailed the game's essence.
"The inspiration definitely came from your game," Skyler said.
