Chapter 49
No one had expected Sam to walk away from it all, so when he did it shooked everyone including Shandie
Even though he knew how big and profitable the movie would be, fiam refused to beliay his principles for money
It was no wonder he had a reputation for being tenacious and unrelenting
Jerry had a moment of panic but soon regained his composure as he smiled at Bhandie “Please wall here i el me persuarle the director”
Watching Sam leave had honestly terribed Shandie because unbeknownst to the people present, everything that she said had been alle
Even Vinson’s name card was a stolen item
Nevertheless, Shandie coughed in response, determined to carry on with her act “Very well. I’ll wait for you.”
Jerry finally caught up with Sam and tried, once again, to talk him out of quitting the movie
Thankfully, he seemed to have changed his mind but still hoped to speak with Vinson to explain the situation
“I’ve met Mr Nightshire a couple of times, enough to know that he isn’t an unreasonable man I don’t want to put you in a spot either, Jerry, so gel me his number, and I’ll talk to him myself”
Oh gosh, I’m just a producer. Why would I have the number of a prominent figure like Vinson Nightshire? Jerry was starting to panie again when he remembered Shandie’s card with
Vinson’s number on it. “Okay I’ll be right back
with the number!”
Alter running back to the stage, Jerry approached Shandie and asked politely, “Miss, could you give Me Nightshire a call? Mi Sleight would like to speak with him.”
Shandie became flustered at that sudden request. One call to Vinson was all it needed to expose her lies, and that was something she couldn’t allow to happen
The wheels in Shandie’s mind started turning as she thought of an idea
Vinson had no reason to help Shandie, but it would be a different story with Arielle. After all, Anlelle had helped him before, and he owed her a favor
Shandie cleared her throat and handed the name card to Jerry, “Tell Mr. Nightshire that I’m
Shannie and that I want to be in this movie. I also promise that I won’t let him down.”
At the rate things were progressing, Shandie had no choice but to take a gamble
She hoped Vinson knew that Arielle was Sannie, which sounded a lot like her own nickname, and that he would be willing to give Arielle a hand
The call went through almost instantly, and a deep voice rang out from the other end “Hello?”
“Hello, Mr. Nightshire!” Jerry said excitedly, “I’m the producer of the movie, Monsters in Jadeborough. Your friend, Ms Shannie, is here for an audition and wants nothing more than to be in this movie. However, our director has some objections to casting her and would like to speak with you. Would that be all right?” “Sannie?” Vinson asked in surprise,
I didn’t know Arielle liked acting. There’s clearly a lot more about her that I don’t know
Despite that disappointment, the fact that Arielle was willing to use his name card still made Vinson’s heart flutter with joy
On the other end of the call, Shandie was so nervous that her palms had started to sweat
After a pause, Vinson continued, “I’m still in a meeting, so here’s what I propose Have Sam pick a place to meel, and I’ll join him in an hour when my meeting’s over. I’ll talk to him then.”
“That’s brilliant! Thank you so much, Mr. Nightshire.”
After ending the call, Jerry gazed at Shandie, this time even more respectfully
“Ms. Shannie, why don’t you head back first, I’ll inform you later of any news” “Sure.” Shandie replied before strutting out of the theater. She had to mask the excitement in her voice even though she was over the moon at how well her idea had panned out
Shandie couldn’t believe that Vinson had agreed to help Arielle, and even though she was happy for herself, there was also a lwinge of jealousy
Never mind. Once I become famous, Vinson is going to notice and remember me. He’ll forget about Arielle and only care for me I have to be patient and take this slow.
An hour later, in a cafe opposite Midnight Theater, Sam and Vinson sat facing each other
Sam decided to cut to the chase and spoke up “Mr Nightshire, I’ve met you iwice before and know that you’re a leasonable man bu i’m going to be straightforward about this. Your friend has no talent for acting and doesn’t deserve to be in my movie. If we insist on casting her, the box ofice results and reviews will be severely affected”
