Deserve You, Not *** (Camren)

Chapter 02: That Brief Look

Narrator's POV

Lauren was so grateful and excited that she finally got an opportunity to work with Camila. Shooting a music video was not her main focus, but she could do it, especially when it was for her favorite singer. It was not only good for the reputation of her company but also for her fangirl heart. She was so enthusiastic that she took it even though she had a full agenda. Whether it was true or not that opportunity never knocked twice, Lauren just did not want to disappoint Camila. She was also afraid that Camila would never come back again.

The paperwork and the schedule were finalized, and they would shoot the music video tomorrow. Lauren went through everything: the lyric of the song, the theme that Camila wanted, and all the ideas and details that they had discussed during their first meeting. They also had several brief calls to update or change something before the shooting time. After going through everything for one last time, Lauren ended the night by wishing everything would go well tomorrow.

The shooting of Camila's music video would take place at the same location as her office. It was one of Lauren's studios for indoor shooting. Lauren, wearing a black coat, pants, and boots, arrived at the office from another shooting place an hour before the shooting would start. She took off her coat as she arrived in her office. She made a warm tea for herself and settled at her desk to do something.

After thirty minutes passed, Lauren took to put on her leather jacket on top of her white shirt. She wore her hair in a ponytail and checked herself in the mirror before she left for the next building which was connected to her office. Arriving at the studio, Lauren walked to Ally, who was talking to one of their crews.

"Good morning, Lauren!" Ally, who was dressed in a yellow suit, finished talking to the crew when she saw Lauren walking toward her. She greeted Lauren.

"Hey, morning, Ally!" Lauren smiled, "All good?" Lauren scanned around the room.

"Yes, everything is as planned so far." Ally informed. It was call time when the crew was ready to start the filming.

"They've arrived, haven't they?" Lauren asked.

"Yes, Camila and her team are preparing in the dressing room." Ally welcomed them when they arrived.

"Great! I will go and greet them." Lauren went to the dressing room, and Ally was back to what she was doing when Lauren showed up.

Lauren walked out of the studio. She passed the hall, walking to the dressing room. She knocked on the door, and Camila's mother showed up. "Lauren, good morning!"

"Good morning, Mrs. Cabello!" Lauren smiled.

"Oh, please call me Sinu!" Sinu said.

"Alright!" Lauren always went with formal greetings with someone she just knew.

"Come on in!" Sinu invited Lauren in. Lauren got into the dressing room.

"Camilita, Lauren is here," Sinu informed her daughter, who had her eyes closed as the makeup artist was doing her face.

"Good morning, Camila!" Lauren greeted Camila, and she looked around the dressing room to make sure they got what they needed.

"Hey, good morning, Lauren!" Camila cheerfully greeted back with her eyes still closed. "How are you?" Camila was still wearing a robe. She had not changed into her costume for the shooting today.
