Critic novel Chapter 8

Another day has passed, I'm writing on my desk when the phone rings so loud that alert the attention of everybody inside the room, my phone seldom rung. I grabbed it excitedly.

Hello, what's new? I asked to the person on the other line. It was Jerry calling me about the script.

How are you doing Tara darling. I have a good news to you. Producers love your story. You have to come over and talk about your pay. He said happily.

That's a good news indeed. I will visit you tomorrow early in the morning.

Why don't you come over today. It's only 3, I will be at the office until 5. What do you think? Should I wait for you?

I'm not ready Jerry, I haven't even showered. I explainex to him.

I will wait, the producers are here. Tomorrow they will not be around, today is the best time.

Ok, I will be there in an hour.

See you then, Darling. He sweetly said on the other line.

I put down the phone and started to prepare myself. After showering I asked my brother to drive me to Jerry's office. He agreed, grabbed his keys and went to the car even Andrei wants to come too, they stayed too much at home, they long for human interaction.

I'm curious what your working place look like Tara, Andrei said. They are wearing casual clothes since I'm just wearing Tshirt and long jeans. We entered a big building . The place is grand and well decorated, the entirety of the building leaves quite an empression to visitors new at this place. Celebreties are around as well making Andrei and Drake stunned with delight. I opened the door at Jerry's office, Lisa one of the rising star of her generation greeted me.

Tara youre here, I heard you are doing a new project with Boss Jerry. Don't forget to include me, she gave me a kiss and she accompany me towards Jerry's office.

Drake is coughing lightly so I would introduce them with Lisa.

Lisa meet my brother Drake and Andrei his friend.

Ow nice to meet you I'm Lisa. She introduced herself.

We know you, your so famous. My brother doesn't want to let go of Lisa's hand. Andrei wants his turn. These two suddenly get activated on the sight of Lisa.

Thank you. Please convince Tara to include me on her new movie.

Ow definitely, my sister does everything I told her to do. Drake said with pride.

Talent roles is decided by Jerry. I just deliver the story, get my pay then that's it for me.

Jerry came and take me away from Lisa.

Honey, we already worked together 2 Million is your talent fee we didn't expect you will ask for more. How about, if we happened to have extra money after the taping then we will give it all to you. But we place on the contract 2 million, the extra money is just a bonus. Roberta suggest.

I can't take it I'm sorry, I see big things on this project I can't believe Jerry is not asking for a raise, but for me I want it 3, if not i will sell the story to somebody else.

Anabelle get mad, her face changed expression sourly. I didn't expect you will be this hard with money. I respect you so much and I love your work but today, it's all gone.

Ms. Anabelle you are earning millions on my works. I only get small portion of it. Don't throw me that money shade coz you get more money on every story I make. I deserve a raise if I don't get it to this movie then I will give it to somebody else.

The argument is heating up so Jerry came in the middle. Hold it ladies, how about I look for more investor on this movie so I can get a raise too. Let's talk again some other time when I get another investor so we all get what we want.

My brother suddenly butt in. I want to invest, we can put in another 10 Million, me and my buddy here Andrei is planning on investing to a business so I think this is it. How about we buy the other 30% of the rights. That would be 30 % to the two ladies then the other 10% will be divided to Jerry and Tara. How about that, Drake proposed.

That's better, though our income will be cut smaller. But this way we can cater to Tara's concern and we can give bonus to Jerry too. Roberta agreed.

If it's ok to Roberta then I will agree on this. Anabelle finally get pacified with the suggestion of Drake. I'm actually amazed Drake brought himself up for this matter.

Then problem is solved, me and Tara will get a bonus, I am happy how this meeting went, I didn't expect it but I'm happy about it. I will call all parties on the signing of contract, by then I will present the lead roles as well. Give me a week. Ready your money. I will call you again. Have a nice day!. I kissed the two ladies good bye so is Jerry then left the building with 2 good looking bodyguards behind me.
