Desperate Love

Chapter 1

Two years ago (2014)

Andrew Anderson's film had flopped again.

News headlines were popped up all over the news websites, social media, and the newspapers.

"Flop Hollywood Heartthrob in the Making?"

"Shame on Anderson Heritage"

"Charm Without Skills"

"Hat trick in flop movies"

Samuel Anderson threw all the newspapers away that his secretary Scott had brought.

He wanted to see if in case any news of success would come out this time, but expecting something from Andrew was like expecting an egg coming out from a horse.

Like always, Samuel had to bear the news of Andrew's movie being failed in the box office.

As a producer, it was Samuel Anderson's concern to look over the matter so that the male lead would perform well in the movie. The directors were constantly complaining to him of his son being not dedicated to his roles neither the movies.

Complaints were coming again and again that instead of coming to the movie sets; Andrew spent his time through hanging out with his friends, either to the pub or going to any tour that was far away from the set.

Samuel was frustrated hearing all the news about him. He was frustrated about both the facts, the movies being failed in the box office and about Andrew who was giving no dedication to the films.

Samuel was kind of terrified seeing his own son Andrew acting in those movies; it was not something horrible about his looks neither the characters, but it was the way he delivered his roles.

Andrew used to act very expressionlessly, Samuel believed. So much lacking of expression that the audience could not figure out about Andrew, as a character, that when he actually felt relaxed, or when he felt anger, or if he was amused or if he felt like cracked up.

Samuel wished if his son would express himself on the on-screen the way he used to express himself off-screen. In the off-screen Andrew's expressions were beyond perfect, which made anyone fall for his personality. Only the problem was when Andrew stood in front of the camera. He did not give his hundred percent while portraying his characters.

The directors suggested Samuel that he would rather train Andrew for one or two more years so that he would learn better. But Samuel knew that there was no point to send him for more training where he couldn't learn even after trying for 7 years.

"Where is Andrew right now?" Samuel asked Secretary Scott.

'Don't know, Sir. We are trying to reach him over phone but he isn't receiving." Scott replied.

"Get him from anywhere you can get. I want to see him at my office as soon as possible! You get it?"

"Yes, sir."

Scott stood there still. Samuel got infuriated.

"What are you thinking of Scott? Don't make me lose my patience. Find out where he's right now, send my agents there and let them fetch him at my office right away!"

"Okay Sir!"

Scott left the cabin. The sooner it was, the better it would be for retaining his job for the position he had been doing since twenty two years. Scott tried his best to never make his boss angry at him.

Because of Scott's authenticity, Samuel could seldom blame him; whereas usually Samuel Anderson used to blame the entire world for anything about any matter, including his son.
