"That's indeed a lot!" Avery looked at the woman who had just entered the small room. It was their Editor-in-Chief. Trophies and awards from various theaters and preaching ceremonies in a few years almost filled Avery's walls.

During her years as a T.V. reporter and occasional news anchor and making various documentaries that aired on television, she often drew awards. She will not brag, but she can't stop being proud of herself. She's having the time of her life. She worked hard for that to happen. After almost five years, she gradually made her dream come true.

She faced her boss, who was already sitting on the couch. "Are you ready for the Antonio Facundo Awards 2020?" She grinned even more at what she heard. Of course, she will never forget about it. This is the first month of the year, and she is already searching the internet on whose life she will feature now.

The AFA 2020, or the Antonio Facundo Awards is a competition for journalists like her, is also often open to writers and directors. Unlike usual, they will take a subject, someone, which is very popular with people. They will publish to viewers about how that person's life is. Supposedly, Avery will know the life of whoever is chosen just to win. She will make sure she gets the same award again this year. All she had to do is find someone, a person everyone looked up to with a mysterious identity.

She won AFA last year, so Avery feels enormously pressured. One of the best-selling authors, Tanya Tebrero–Jacinto, was her subject, and she didn't have a hard time with it.

Tanya is very kind. She is honest with what she feels and wants, and she quickly understands it. Avery even got a mentor because Tanya was also very good at her craft.

Her life was indeed a chaotic experience. The woman narrated life to her, but it seemed to bring her to that situation. Now, she can't be more proud of Tanya and Josiah's love story. They were happily blessed with two children - now having three children - because Tanya's pregnant.

After the showing of that documentary, they got millions of views on popular Social Media sites such as Instagram, Youtube and Facebook. They even touched the BSE News where she works which claims hundreds of applause.

"I am born ready, Ma'am. Though I have no ideas yet, my team and I will meet for the plans." She opened her cellphone. She has a few choices. However, she is not so sure if it will be popular with the people.

They need to find someone who is almost adored by the majority but still has a huge secret about his or her personality. That will seriously become a good catch.

And that's what she wants.

The viewer, the public will truly become curious, which will cause her to enjoy the documentary more.

She must be wise. AFA Award is notable for her. She can't miss that now.

Her eyes widened when the woman dropped a brown envelope on the small table. She looked at it with so many questions, but the boss just shrugged and motioned for her to open it.

She did the woman's command. Her hand almost trembled with great excitement. Whatever it is, this is connected to the AFA. Anything that's connected to AFA excites her.

When she saw the picture, she immediately frowned. The possible difficulty of getting the person on the picture revolved around her mind. She knew what the boss meant by giving her a picture of the man.

It is not just a man, though. He's the most mysterious man the business industry know.

"The most mysterious man in the business, Cormac Carter. He had this codename, C.C. People can see how rich that man is. They can see how he presents at so many conferences. He has also become a public figure because of his popularity, especially among women. But here's a funny thing, Av. No one knows her parents. No one knows what the story of his life is. It was as if he had just appeared in the business industry–" The woman shook Avery's hand out of excitement. "Hey! You get what I mean, right?"

Avery blinked-twice, thrice. There are so many speculations that are going through her mind. She is already thinking of a way to convince him because men like him are allergic to cameras. She must know that.

But aside from that, his aura speaks something strange to her. You can be scared of the man by just staring at his picture.

Of course, she knows Cormac Carter! Who would not? She has tried several times to ask him for an interview in a few conferences, but she does not get a word.

"When we get that man, we will definitely get most of the women. I know many are also curious about Mr. Carter, and this one's a good break. I really hope the opponents will not overtake us." The boss fixed her hair and then looked at Avery. "This is a good catch, Av. Many are joining AFA today, and we need to stand out-you need to stand out. For now, I can find nothing more okay with Mr. Carter. He's the ace in the competition. You can get him, right, Av?"

Avery immediately nodded at that question. Cormac Carter has a lot of friends and colleagues, and that's where Avery will start. Only then can she get information from the man, the things he likes and dislikes, his passion for work, and his past. Sooner or later, Avery will also get him in an interview. She has nothing to miss now.

She knew she would have a hard time, but she can't be more sure about her goal. She'll get AFA 2020.

"I'll get him. I will take all the chances in the world. I will win the AFA 2020," she fiercely replied, putting all her hopes up.
