《My Hollywood System》Chapter 86

Jennifer was surprised after hearing that. She had expected an important position like a senior agent in the agency, but she never thought that Will was considering her for the company's CEO.
Seeing her reaction, Will immediately tried to come clear.
"It's not like I would offer you the position without any prior assessment. I will give you the role of senior agent for a while and judge your performance, and if your performance is up to par, then I will make you the CEO of DTA, of course with a reasonable salary backing it."
"I will need some time to think this through. Give me a few days, and I will give you a reply."
Jennifer said that as she contemplated.
The main reason Jennifer was a free market agent was because she dreamed of opening her own agency. And since she was offered a position that would basically make her the head of the agency that she had always dreamed of being, she obviously wouldn't decline it straight away.
And another thing was, she didn't want to sound like someone who rushes their decisions, that is why she asked for some time to think about it.
Will, who already knew what she was thinking and what her dream was, couldn't help but inwardly chuckle before he added.
"Jenny, it's good that you need time to think. But don't take too long. You know that some opportunities only last for a limited time, yet cause a lifetime of regret when you miss them."
Jennifer's eyes widened hearing that. She clearly understood the hidden meaning behind that message, 'take your time to think about it, but don't take too long or else you will miss this opportunity,' that's what Will was trying to indicate.
After a bit more discussion, Amanda handed over a copy of the duties that Jennifer would have to perform as a senior agent. The meeting concluded after that.
***
After Jennifer left with the promise of giving a reply to Will as soon as possible, Will had another meeting scheduled right after. It was a meeting with the new A-lister and the star of a billion-dollar movie, Micheal Robert Elrod.
As the never-ending popularity of [Sherlock Holmes] was still at its peak, Robert kept receiving offers from many movie companies regarding many types of roles. Most of them were offers for the lead role, and it was a really big deal for Robert as he had never received two side role offers at once, forget about the many lead role offers.

Even though he was overwhelmed by the current popularity, he decided not to let it get over him. In almost all of the interviews he had given till now, he mentioned Will's name and thanked him every time for recognising him and having trust in him.
As Robert was already a part of DTA, all his future movies were to be selected by DTA as well. From the 50 or so scripts that DTA has received for Robert's role, Will had been transferred some of the best ones, and Will had gone through all of them personally to select a movie for Robert.
"Welcome, Robert. Glad to see that you are doing well."
Will said as he looked at the current Robert. The recent success and lack of stress had made his complexion much better, and the way he dressed was all selected by professional fashion experts on Will's request, so he looked like a neat gentleman.
The reason Will had assigned a fashion expert to Robert was because the latter was lacking a lot in the sense of fashion when compared to Ewan, and since Robert and Ewan were the faces of DTA, Will had said that they couldn't compromise how he looked on various occasions.
The movie that Will had selected was an ordinary mystery drama starring a secretive, dark yet lovable police officer as he apprehends criminals and solves cases that no one else could. The script was pretty well written and was quite detailed without any obvious plot holes, and it was intriguing enough that it would catch the attention of many without making any effort.
The movie was by one of the Big 6 studios, Kron Studios, also known as K Studios. Although it was also a mystery/drama, the vibe and plot were totally different, and Robert would have to give his best not to lose his name. But Will decided to provide him with this role as a challenge as the movie had the potential of earning a lot, especially since it was by one of the big six studios, and it would cement Robert's impression as the main lead in many people's minds.
"Haha, Will. It's really nice to be in the spotlight, although it has its own fair share of troubles; I at least know why people still don't want to come out of it."
Robert said with a weird chuckle, to which Will simply replied.
"Yep, and if you want to keep that spotlight, you need to work hard for it. Here, read the script. I am thinking of agreeing to this movie for your next role. Tell me if you like it."

Will gestured to him to sit and handed over the script. After some time, when Robert had read some pages of the script, he couldn't help but feel excited.
"I like this a lot. Although the character is different from Sherlock Holmes, I think I would be able to play it. And if possible, I want to add varieties for myself so that people don't think I can only do one type of role."
"That's a good attitude to have. Well then, take your time and read the whole script, and tell me if you are ready to do the role or not."
Will said as he started typing something on his laptop. Robert looked at him working and couldn't help but smile.
"Times like these, you make me feel younger than yourself. And as for the script, consider it a yes from me, although I would still like to read the whole script."
"Oh, by the way, I've another movie planned for you. It will be written by me, and the shooting will start at the end of the year. I'm telling you just so you can prepare early and don't take any roles in that time period."
Will said as he remembered how he would write a movie script starring Robert. Robert just said he wouldn't take any movie roles on his own and would only take those DTA recommends him to. After some small chit chat, Will said.
"Haha, okay then. See you later, Robert. You should meet Amanda on your way out; she has something to say to you."
Will reminded, to which Robert laughed.
"I already talked with Amanda. She just wanted to say sorry to me because she didn't trust me earlier for the role of Sherlock Holmes, and she asked for my autograph too, saying her children love me and want an autograph. This recognition almost feels surreal, haha."
Will chuckled, and after that, Robert left Will's office.

The Pink Door, Seattle, Washington.
The Pink Door was one of the famous Italian restaurants in Seattle. A 23-year-old, fair looking girl with brown hair and black eyes was taking orders from the people on the tables and passing the orders to her fellow colleagues on the counter.
As she was coming back with some ordered food in her hands, she couldn't help but stop in her tracks as she saw the news going on the television plastered on the high wall. Some of the show hosts were talking about the formation of a new agency in Hollywood.
Although mostly these TV channels don't pay attention to the formation of a new agency, this time the case was different as the agency belonged to the new hot topic of Hollywood, namely Will Evans.
The hosts couldn't help but mention his name every time and talk about how Will was becoming a famous player in Hollywood.
"Hey, hurry up, will you? We have already waited long enough."
The customers whose food the girl had in her hand started shouting at her, bringing her back from her trance as she hurried towards them and served them their food.
***
"What's going on, Natalie? Recently, you haven't been paying attention at work. Is there something bothering you?"
The manager of The Pink Door asked the waitress, Natalie. He touched her shoulders with his hand, and his eyes contained a hint of lust. Natalie shook his hand off of her shoulder as she said.
"N-no. I'm sorry about the earlier incident, manager. I promise it won't happen again."
It was not the first time the manager was trying something on her. But she had no plans to let him have his way with her.
Seeing the disgusted look on Natalie's face, the manager's expression turned ugly as he shouted.
"Who do you think you are kidding, bitch. I have had enough of you. Go and collect your wage from the counter, and no need to come back to this place from tomorrow."
As soon as he said that, Natalie didn't wait as she rushed out of his office and started cursing him.
"That fucking old fart. Can't he see his own age for once? Fuck, Should I give it a try at DTA too? Although I have given up on acting, I still can't let it go, huh."
Natalie chuckled bitterly as another sigh escaped her mouth. She jumbled her hands on her head and made a mess out of her hair. After calming down, her eyes looked to be in a state of fluctuation as she tried to come to an answer.
