The moment Joash saw that someone had invested in the movie without requesting to have the male lead changed, he swiftly sought Bruce out. “It must have been an investor Ms. Rachford found! She's the best!”
Subsequently, he questioned in curiosity, “But Mr. Gable, why did you tell me to contact her back then and not Mr. Dixon?”
All matters pertaining to the company's artists were under James' purview.
When Joash discerned from the director's veiled remarks that the producer wanted to change the male lead, he immediately wanted to phone James. However, Bruce stopped him from doing so.
At his question, Bruce replied mildly, “Because Mr. Dixon doesn't care about me.”
“But isn't it the same with Ms. Rachford?” Scratching his head, Joash muttered, “When I phoned her the day before, she said it wasn't her company alone. But in the next heartbeat, she contacted an investor. Did you make some deal with her, Mr. Gable?”
Undeniably, it was suspicious when the owner of an entertainment company treated an artist with a tainted past so nicely.
“Yup, a carnal deal,” Bruce answered with a smile that didn't reach his eyes before stuffing the thermos into the man's hand. “If I'd known you were so talkative then, I wouldn't have hired you.”
“I'm just concerned about you, Mr. Gable,” Joash muttered, smiling sheepishly.
When he saw that the thermos contained tea, he remarked, “You've got to go to the studio at nine o'clock for filming and attend Fantasy Film Festival at eight o'clock at night, Mr. Gable. As such, you must keep yourself in top condition. Don't drink tea anymore. I'll buy you iced coffee to reduce the swelling on your face!”
Having said that, he left in a hurry.
Bruce leaned back against the chair and massaged his temples, feeling exceedingly tired.
He had never thought that he would be living with someone else's identity one day, much less that he would become an insignificant artist from an influential figure in the business world.
Worse still, he had no resources because of his negative press, coupled with the fact that he had just switched companies.
He was only filming one movie, yet he was already dead tired.
From the second he opened his eyes each day, he either had to go through the script or exercise in the gym. When the film crew had made the arrangements, he had to rush to the studio to film.
In the past, he felt that coffee was really fragrant. But the mere sight of it alone nauseated him at present.
He snagged his phone from the table. After unlocking it, the picture of a young woman asleep on her side popped up on his home screen.
He typed: Thank you, Ms. Rachford.
Genevieve replied: I'm not helping you for free. You've got to repay me the money in the future.
Bruce: Okay. I'll repay you double.
As he stared at the conversation between them, he couldn't resist sending another message that read: I'm on my way to the studio.
