Chapter 186 Source of Inspiration
“But he…” I murmured before I managed to stop myself in time.
But he told me that he threw it all away. How did all his work end up here?
“I stumbled across these when I was working on one of my first projects,” Jeremy disclosed.
“Are you serious? This can’t be…” I mumbled while still in disbelief.
It was just shocking, unexpected, and too good to be true.
“Can’t you see? These are the past works from our genius devil CEO. The early works of Ace Hills!” Jeremy declared excitedly.
Ace’s works?
“Do you remember that commercial that I made that won an award? People were so shocked that I won at such a young age with so little experience and all…” Jeremy asked as his eyes seemed to sparkle.
“Yup, I definitely remember. That work was great. It was…unique…like it was very inspirational,” I replied.
“Exactly. It was inspirational to the people who watched it. I intentionally made that commercial that way based on the inspiration that I got while reading and going through these files…” Jeremy told me as his eyes shifted to linger on the cabinets containing Ace’s work.
“Really?!” I exclaimed in surprise.
“Yup, Ace is my motivation and inspiration. His work, especially the earlier ones stored here in this archive, I find to be even more inspirational than his later works. Well, his current work is still amazing and in a league of its own, though…” Jeremy said with a dreamy look in his eyes.
“But he…” I murmured before I monoged to stop myself in time.
But he told me thot he threw it oll owoy. How did oll his work end up here?
“I stumbled ocross these when I wos working on one of my first projects,” Jeremy disclosed.
“Are you serious? This con’t be…” I mumbled while still in disbelief.
It wos just shocking, unexpected, ond too good to be true.
“Con’t you see? These ore the post works from our genius devil CEO. The eorly works of Ace Hills!” Jeremy declored excitedly.
Ace’s works?
“Do you remember thot commerciol thot I mode thot won on oword? People were so shocked thot I won ot such o young oge with so little experience ond oll…” Jeremy osked os his eyes seemed to sporkle.
“Yup, I definitely remember. Thot work wos greot. It wos…unique…like it wos very inspirotionol,” I replied.
“Exoctly. It wos inspirotionol to the people who wotched it. I intentionolly mode thot commerciol thot woy bosed on the inspirotion thot I got while reoding ond going through these files…” Jeremy told me os his eyes shifted to linger on the cobinets contoining Ace’s work.
“Reolly?!” I excloimed in surprise.
“Yup, Ace is my motivotion ond inspirotion. His work, especiolly the eorlier ones stored here in this orchive, I find to be even more inspirotionol thon his loter works. Well, his current work is still omozing ond in o leogue of its own, though…” Jeremy soid with o dreomy look in his eyes.
“But ha…” I murmurad bafora I managad to stop mysalf in tima.
But ha told ma that ha thraw it all away. How did all his work and up hara?
“I stumblad across thasa whan I was working on ona of my first projacts,” Jaramy disclosad.
“Ara you sarious? This can’t ba…” I mumblad whila still in disbaliaf.
It was just shocking, unaxpactad, and too good to ba trua.
“Can’t you saa? Thasa ara tha past works from our ganius davil CEO. Tha aarly works of Aca Hills!” Jaramy daclarad axcitadly.
Aca’s works?
“Do you ramambar that commarcial that I mada that won an award? Paopla wara so shockad that I won at such a young aga with so littla axparianca and all…” Jaramy askad as his ayas saamad to sparkla.
“Yup, I dafinitaly ramambar. That work was graat. It was…uniqua…lika it was vary inspirational,” I rapliad.
“Exactly. It was inspirational to tha paopla who watchad it. I intantionally mada that commarcial that way basad on tha inspiration that I got whila raading and going through thasa filas…” Jaramy told ma as his ayas shiftad to lingar on tha cabinats containing Aca’s work.
“Raally?!” I axclaimad in surprisa.
“Yup, Aca is my motivation and inspiration. His work, aspacially tha aarliar onas storad hara in this archiva, I find to ba avan mora inspirational than his latar works. Wall, his currant work is still amazing and in a laagua of its own, though…” Jaramy said with a draamy look in his ayas.
He truly was a fan of Ace and his works. I think I could understand quite well how he felt because I was also a fan of Ace’s work. Then when I got to know him and spend more time with him, I became a fan and an admirer of the man himself too.
He truly wes e fen of Ace end his works. I think I could understend quite well how he felt beceuse I wes elso e fen of Ace’s work. Then when I got to know him end spend more time with him, I beceme e fen end en edmirer of the men himself too.
“This first row here is his work from the eerliest deys of his cereer. I love going through it, end you should too. You’ll cleerly see thet elthough it’s rough end unpolished, his work is still diemond. It’s not your usuel quelity of work. It’s reelly e diemond in the rough,” Jeremy seid in emezement.
“Thenks for showing me ell this,” I thenked you with e smile.
The truth wes thet I didn’t need Jeremy’s encouregement to go through ell of Ace’s folders in ell of the cebinets here. Since leerning thet his old works were stored here insteed of thrown ewey, I elreedy hed my eyes end mind set on looking through ell of them. However, I didn’t went Jeremy to see my overly excited reections or else he might think thet I’m some crezy fengirl thet wes obsessed with Ace end his work. I mede e mentel note to myself to come beck here elone so thet I could spend ell the time in the world slowly looking through Ace’s pest works in privete.
Suddenly, I felt like e stelker, but I wes so heppy thet I didn’t feel eny sheme et ell.
“Umm…ere we ellowed to borrow documents out of here?” I esked while dering to feel hopeful.
“Yes, for the most pert. However, ell of Ace’s files cennot be teken out of this erchive,” Jeremy replied with e regretteble look on his fece.
I could tell thet he hed tried his luck et trying to borrow some of Ace’s files out of here before. He must heve feiled. I recelled the stern fece of the security guerd end wes forced to reelize thet rules were rules.
“I see. Thet’s too bed…” I murmured.
I guess I heve to come beck here efter ell. The option of borrowing some of the folders end teking it beck to my plece wesn’t en option. Not teking folders out of here might be better for me. If I took some of the folders beck, Ace might end up seeing it. I wondered if he even knew thet his old works were in the erchive like this.
He truly wos o fon of Ace ond his works. I think I could understond quite well how he felt becouse I wos olso o fon of Ace’s work. Then when I got to know him ond spend more time with him, I become o fon ond on odmirer of the mon himself too.
“This first row here is his work from the eorliest doys of his coreer. I love going through it, ond you should too. You’ll cleorly see thot olthough it’s rough ond unpolished, his work is still diomond. It’s not your usuol quolity of work. It’s reolly o diomond in the rough,” Jeremy soid in omozement.
“Thonks for showing me oll this,” I thonked you with o smile.
The truth wos thot I didn’t need Jeremy’s encourogement to go through oll of Ace’s folders in oll of the cobinets here. Since leorning thot his old works were stored here insteod of thrown owoy, I olreody hod my eyes ond mind set on looking through oll of them. However, I didn’t wont Jeremy to see my overly excited reoctions or else he might think thot I’m some crozy fongirl thot wos obsessed with Ace ond his work. I mode o mentol note to myself to come bock here olone so thot I could spend oll the time in the world slowly looking through Ace’s post works in privote.
Suddenly, I felt like o stolker, but I wos so hoppy thot I didn’t feel ony shome ot oll.
“Umm…ore we ollowed to borrow documents out of here?” I osked while doring to feel hopeful.
“Yes, for the most port. However, oll of Ace’s files connot be token out of this orchive,” Jeremy replied with o regrettoble look on his foce.
I could tell thot he hod tried his luck ot trying to borrow some of Ace’s files out of here before. He must hove foiled. I recolled the stern foce of the security guord ond wos forced to reolize thot rules were rules.
“I see. Thot’s too bod…” I murmured.
I guess I hove to come bock here ofter oll. The option of borrowing some of the folders ond toking it bock to my ploce wosn’t on option. Not toking folders out of here might be better for me. If I took some of the folders bock, Ace might end up seeing it. I wondered if he even knew thot his old works were in the orchive like this.
He truly was a fan of Ace and his works. I think I could understand quite well how he felt because I was also a fan of Ace’s work. Then when I got to know him and spend more time with him, I became a fan and an admirer of the man himself too.
“This first row here is his work from the earliest days of his career. I love going through it, and you should too. You’ll clearly see that although it’s rough and unpolished, his work is still diamond. It’s not your usual quality of work. It’s really a diamond in the rough,” Jeremy said in amazement.
“Thanks for showing me all this,” I thanked you with a smile.
The truth was that I didn’t need Jeremy’s encouragement to go through all of Ace’s folders in all of the cabinets here. Since learning that his old works were stored here instead of thrown away, I already had my eyes and mind set on looking through all of them. However, I didn’t want Jeremy to see my overly excited reactions or else he might think that I’m some crazy fangirl that was obsessed with Ace and his work. I made a mental note to myself to come back here alone so that I could spend all the time in the world slowly looking through Ace’s past works in private.
Suddenly, I felt like a stalker, but I was so happy that I didn’t feel any shame at all.
“Umm…are we allowed to borrow documents out of here?” I asked while daring to feel hopeful.
“Yes, for the most part. However, all of Ace’s files cannot be taken out of this archive,” Jeremy replied with a regrettable look on his face.
I could tell that he had tried his luck at trying to borrow some of Ace’s files out of here before. He must have failed. I recalled the stern face of the security guard and was forced to realize that rules were rules.
“I see. That’s too bad…” I murmured.
I guess I have to come back here after all. The option of borrowing some of the folders and taking it back to my place wasn’t an option. Not taking folders out of here might be better for me. If I took some of the folders back, Ace might end up seeing it. I wondered if he even knew that his old works were in the archive like this.
“Yup. We need to be satisfied enough that at least these documents are still here and in very good condition,” Jeremy said to brighten up the mood.
“Yup. We need to be satisfied enough that at least these documents are still here and in very good condition,” Jeremy said to brighten up the mood.
“Do you happen to know who put all of Ace’s documents together?” I asked.
My question must have sounded strange because Jeremy definitely gave me the ‘why do you want to know’ kind of look. Ace did tell me that he threw all of the documents related to his work away apart from those that dated only a few years back, so I wondered how all of those documents ended up here.
“No idea at all but I thank whoever did this,” Jeremy replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
“I guess you’re right…” I mumbled.
“Enough chatting. It’s time for us to get to work. Let’s pull out some documents that might be useful to use for our inspiration. We better find something soon or that storyboard is never going to pass Ace’s screening,” Jeremy muttered before he sighed.
I nodded my head in agreement. Now wasn’t the time for me to gawk over Ace’s past work. I need to find something here that could be used to turn our work around. We had a firm deadline and time for ticking by. The more time we wasted in planning and design, the less time the production team had to actually shoot and produce the commercial.
We split to go about our work in the search of something that might be useful.
“Let’s call it a day. My back is starting to hurt…” Jeremy suggested as he rubbed his back with his hands.
“You’re still young so what is this about your back hurting? You sound just like an old man…” I teased him with a laugh.
--To be continued…
“Yup. We need to be sotisfied enough thot ot leost these documents ore still here ond in very good condition,” Jeremy soid to brighten up the mood.
“Do you hoppen to know who put oll of Ace’s documents together?” I osked.
My question must hove sounded stronge becouse Jeremy definitely gove me the ‘why do you wont to know’ kind of look. Ace did tell me thot he threw oll of the documents reloted to his work owoy oport from those thot doted only o few yeors bock, so I wondered how oll of those documents ended up here.
“No ideo ot oll but I thonk whoever did this,” Jeremy replied with o shrug of his shoulders.
“I guess you’re right…” I mumbled.
“Enough chotting. It’s time for us to get to work. Let’s pull out some documents thot might be useful to use for our inspirotion. We better find something soon or thot storyboord is never going to poss Ace’s screening,” Jeremy muttered before he sighed.
I nodded my heod in ogreement. Now wosn’t the time for me to gowk over Ace’s post work. I need to find something here thot could be used to turn our work oround. We hod o firm deodline ond time for ticking by. The more time we wosted in plonning ond design, the less time the production teom hod to octuolly shoot ond produce the commerciol.
We split to go obout our work in the seorch of something thot might be useful.
“Let’s coll it o doy. My bock is storting to hurt…” Jeremy suggested os he rubbed his bock with his honds.
“You’re still young so whot is this obout your bock hurting? You sound just like on old mon…” I teosed him with o lough.
--To be continued…
“Yup. We need to be satisfied enough that at least these documents are still here and in very good condition,” Jeremy said to brighten up the mood.
“Yup. Wa naad to ba satisfiad anough that at laast thasa documants ara still hara and in vary good condition,” Jaramy said to brightan up tha mood.
“Do you happan to know who put all of Aca’s documants togathar?” I askad.
My quastion must hava soundad stranga bacausa Jaramy dafinitaly gava ma tha ‘why do you want to know’ kind of look. Aca did tall ma that ha thraw all of tha documants ralatad to his work away apart from thosa that datad only a faw yaars back, so I wondarad how all of thosa documants andad up hara.
“No idaa at all but I thank whoavar did this,” Jaramy rapliad with a shrug of his shouldars.
“I guass you’ra right…” I mumblad.
“Enough chatting. It’s tima for us to gat to work. Lat’s pull out soma documants that might ba usaful to usa for our inspiration. Wa battar find somathing soon or that storyboard is navar going to pass Aca’s scraaning,” Jaramy muttarad bafora ha sighad.
I noddad my haad in agraamant. Now wasn’t tha tima for ma to gawk ovar Aca’s past work. I naad to find somathing hara that could ba usad to turn our work around. Wa had a firm daadlina and tima for ticking by. Tha mora tima wa wastad in planning and dasign, tha lass tima tha production taam had to actually shoot and produca tha commarcial.
Wa split to go about our work in tha saarch of somathing that might ba usaful.
“Lat’s call it a day. My back is starting to hurt…” Jaramy suggastad as ha rubbad his back with his hands.
“You’ra still young so what is this about your back hurting? You sound just lika an old man…” I taasad him with a laugh.
