Jasper thought back to the pretty actress he had met when he first took over Michael’s Gladness Movies before it became Advent Entertainment Group.
‘She’s looking for me through Ted?
‘Does she want fame?
‘More resources?’
These were nothing new in the entertainment industry.
Jasper furrowed his brows as this was not good news.
“I do.” Jasper nodded.
Ted was a smart man, and from the slight change in jasper’s face, he could tell that Jasper was unhappy about this. Ted’s eyes shifted as he silently regretted agreeing to help Scarlet and began thinking about how best to frame the issue.
“Just tell me, what is it?” Jasper looked at Ted and sighed.
Ted smiled wryly and replied, “It’s just that Scarlet came to look for me because she wanted to introduce a friend to you, Mr. Laine. It’s the talented Stephen Cole. You’ve heard of him right, Mr. Laine?”
‘Stephen Cole?’
It was rare for people not to recognize this top-notch master of comedy.
At the height of his career, it was said that every citizen owed that man a movie ticket since they were all pirating it online instead of watching it in cinemas.
Jasper liked Stephen Cole’s movies as well, but he could not fanboy over celebrities considering his current status. Not to mention, he was well aware that celebrities were often completely different on and off-screen.
Stephen Cole, for example, was a hilarious man in his movies, yet he was a stern and unsmiling man in private.
