CHAPTER 59 – APOLOGIZE

Posted on March 23, 2017 by Elawn

A thirty-year-old, petite and brown-haired white woman came out from the studio, the sound of her heels clattering on the cemented pavement only adding to her foul mood.

The tall and handsome Brad Pitt was dejectedly following behind her.

Once they got in the car, the woman slammed her door shut before turning to the man next to her: "Alright, Brad, tell me what the hell happened. Do you know how much effort it took to get you this role ? Two days, only two freaking days, and you've been kicked out of the cast. I asked Henry, and he hinted that the fault lied with you and that the producer had personally made the decision."

Brad Pitt shook his head: "Lisa, I swear I've done nothing wrong, the director even praised my performance yesterday, I don't get it. But anyways, haven't we signed a contract with them ? This is clearly a violation, we could...."

"Shut up ! Do you think you're Tom Cruise ?! If you were a top star, maybe we could argue with them, but you're just a small-time actor."

Brad Pitt clenched his fists tightly as he lowered his head. He and Tom Cruise were the same age and were born in similar environments, Brad even felt that, whether in terms of acting or appearance, they weren't that different. But reality was cruel, and while Tom Cruise was now a hot celebrity, he himself was still a nobody.

"Brad, if you did anything to anger the director or the producer, don't try to hide it from me. I'm your agent, if you conceal things from me, I'll have to consider dropping you."

Brad Pitt anxiously raised his head. He had struggled for several years in Hollywood, and knew the importance of a good agent. He had signed with Lisa Cody for less than a year and had already played in several roles, so when he heard her last sentence, he couldn't ignore it.

He tried to think about what had happened in the past two days, then thought of something. He doubtfully muttered: "It couldn't be.... could it ?"

"What ? Hurry and speak up, stop dawdling."

Brad Pitt said: "Hm, you know Jennifer Aniston, right ? Well we finished quite late yesterday evening, so I.... I offered to take her home, and her boyfriend was at her place. He seemed very upset to see us together."

Lisa Cody was as an excellent and very well informed agent, "You mean, the young director of Home Alone ? Eric Williams ?"

Brad Pitt nodded.

Lisa rubbed her forehead in anguish: "Brad, what the hell am I gonna do with you ? A few months ago Mike Tyson found you in bed with his wife, if he hadn't held back, you would be lying in the hospital still. I didn't expect that not only you wouldn't learn the lesson, you'd even make a move on Eric Williams' woman."

"Didn't the newspapers say that they had broken up ? Besides, although Home Alone did well at the box office, he is just a newcomer in Hollywood, how could he have the means to pull something like that ?"
