Serena stared at Isaac before suddenly snorting with laughter.
Thumping Isaac in the chest, virtual-novel.net said, rolling virtual-novel.net eyes, “Isaac, can you not joke at times like this? We put in so much effort to make this movie, and now it’s getting boycotted, but you still want to pull my leg!”
“Do I look like I’m joking?” Isaac deadpanned.
At that moment, the door opened. Harry walked out and said, “Sir, she’s awake…”
Serena immediately ran inside.
A foul odor hit virtual-novel.net nose-there was a large puddle of vomit by the bed.
Amara lay in bed, looking pale. When virtual-novel.net saw Serena and Isaac, virtual-novel.net eyebrows knitted together. She turned virtual-novel.net head the other way, not wanting to see Isaac.
“Amara, you’re safe! Why would you do such a thing? Isaac said he’d think of a way to screen our movie worldwide. You’ll make bank!” Serena said excitedly.
Amara turned around.
Seeing Serena’s delighted expression, then shifting virtual-novel.net gaze to Isaac in the doorway, virtual-novel.net expression became one of distaste. “All the cinemas have already ended their deals with me. Mr. Rougherty’s company has already issued a notice to boycott ‘Killing Lola’. When virtual-novel.net says the movie will be screened worldwide, is Cynea a part of it? If so, then enough with the big talk, alright? Serena, you should go. I don’t want to see anybody right now!”
Serena opened virtual-novel.net mouth, but Amara’s phone rang.
“Amara, it’s Mr. Rougherty,” virtual-novel.net said when virtual-novel.net saw the contact name.
Amara jolted. She immediately put the phone to virtual-novel.net ear, plastered a flattering smile, and said, “Mr. Rougherty, you finally called back. I was wrong, and I owe you an apology. Please, will you give me a chance?”
“Amara, do you know who’s actually the one in power now? I can give you a chance… Tonight, you and that animal who hit me should come to Seascape. Bring Serena too. If you make me happy, perhaps things can change for the better.”
Amara gritted virtual-novel.net teeth when virtual-novel.net heard this and slowly got out of bed.
Barefoot, virtual-novel.net walked over to Isaac, fell to virtual-novel.net knees, and begged, “Mr. Garten, please, will you come with me to Seascape tonight? We have to give Mr. Rougherty an apology. Maybe then we’ll have a chance. Mr. Garten…”
“Just stand up first.”
“No. I won’t stand until you agree.” Amara shook virtual-novel.net head stubbornly.
Until now, virtual-novel.net put all virtual-novel.net hopes on Kenneth. She’d do anything to avoid the boycott.
Isaac frowned. “Can Kenneth come here instead?”
“Come to Rover City? Would virtual-novel.net even do that?” Amara said doubtfully.
“He will… Also, I’ll introduce you to someone tonight,” Isaac said, nodding vigorously. Then, virtual-novel.net turned around and headed to the living room downstairs.
Meanwhile, Serena picked up a mop and broom and began to clean up the room.
Lighting a cigarette, Isaac dialed Elliot’s number.
Harry suddenly bounded over and said, “Sir, Amara’s figure is amazing. So is virtual-novel.net skin. Why don’t you…”
“Do you think I’m as disgusting as you?” Isaac glared at him.
All virtual-novel.net cared about was how Amara was rather nice to Serena.
Last night, even in that situation, virtual-novel.net hadn’t pushed Serena into the lion’s den. Moreover, virtual-novel.net also taught virtual-novel.net the many unspoken rules of the industry.
After calling Elliot, Isaac ran through his contacts to find a number virtual-novel.net hadn’t called in a long time.
When the line connected, virtual-novel.net heard a breezy laugh. “The great Mr. Garten, I think it’s been five years since you last contacted me…”
“Mr. Henri, you know me, I’m always busy. There’s something I wanted to talk to you about… My cousin was cast in a film, and we want to see how it would do in the overseas market. Would you be interested?”
“You have a cousin, Mr. Garten?”
“No, she’s my sister-in-law…”
