Chapter 222: HWI 222
Hollywood What If Chapter 222
Kazir hadn't expected the middle-aged woman to be an agent, and a CAA agent at that.
Kazir rarely visited CAA, so he didn't know their agents very well, except for famous ones like Kevin Huvane and Pat Kingsley.
Kazir extended his hand and decided to take the card. He handed it to Erica Mendez and the assistant put it in her pocket.
Claire Gilmore was a little disappointed that Kazir never bothered to read her contact information, but she kept her smile on.
"I'm Jewish like you, Kazir. I hope we can work together."
"Okay..." Kazir nodded.
'... That's awkward. She basically used her race to make an impression.'
Kazir was never close to his Jewish side because his mother was never around for most of his adult life. Also, his mother never took him to any Jewish gatherings.
"Sir Lucas."
"Just call me George."
"Well, George, I have to go now. It's nice to meet you, haha, I just wanted to say hello and tell you I'm a fan. I apologize if I interrupted your conversation."
"Kazir, it's not that bad. George and I are just having a light conversation." Claire explained.
"Then I'll say goodbye, Claire, George and--"
Kazir glanced at the young Natalie Portman and stopped when he realized that the young woman was staring at him. She had that dreamy look in her eyes.
"Natalie, right?"
"Ah, Y- Yes! Take care, Director."
The woman suddenly blushed and stammered. She hadn't expected to meet such a hot guy today, someone who oozed confidence and humility.
Kazir Grey didn't know what happened and didn't bother to think too much about it.
What he didn't know was that Natalie Portman was charmed... Natalie met a lot of handsome men in the industry, but Kazir Grey had this serious/boring/otherworldly aura... As if the man never considered himself part of this timeline. She couldn't explain it well.
One thing was for sure, she was interested in him. Kazir's appearance fulfilled all her needs in a man. Besides, Kazir was a successful man who had made box office movies in the last few years. He was a famous man.
If there was one thing that Natalie Portman was sad about, it was the fact that Kazir Grey was a busy guy and never liked to go to parties. This meant that their chances of seeing each other again were slim.
Another thing was that Kazir Grey had his principles. He would never have a relationship with a young woman under 20 years old. Natalie Portman deduced this from the man's actions and the rumors about him.
Her eyes followed the man as he left the building with his assistant. For some obvious reason, her heart quickened. She unconsciously touched her chest and felt her heart pounding.
The sensation was strange, but she didn't want to forget it.
"Nat, are you okay? Your face is flushed."
Claire, who was standing next to her, asked her client worriedly.
"Me? Yeah, I'm fine Claire."
Natalie Portman smiled, trying to hide her emotions, and her blush gradually faded. But her heart was still beating fast.
"I'll try to talk to George, you can wait for me at the entrance."
"Thanks, Claire."
A few minutes after Claire talked to George Lucas, the agent studied her client, who was staring out of nowhere, perhaps thinking about something.
Claire sighed and walked over to Natalie.
"Natalie, let's go."
"Alright."
"I apologize if you need to see this. You see, it's my job to make sure you're never bullied or taken for granted. You're young, and I have to protect you. Star Wars is a culture, and it's your biggest chance to be famous."
Claire had to be shameless to get her client more screen time. She believed Natalie was a talented girl.
For that, Claire would never hesitate to use her race as a Jew to make a better impression. Maybe she took advantage of it, but she had to. This business was brutal to little people.
"I understand Claire. I'm grateful for your hard work. I promise I'll do my best on this project. I love Star Wars too."
Natalie hugged her agent, knowing that her agent took all the brunt just for the betterment of her clients.
... However, Natalie Portman could not forget Kazir. His appearance earlier had shaken her to the core.
Perhaps it was love at first sight for the young woman.

"Muah~"
Angelina Jolie playfully blew a kiss in front of the mirror. She fixed her makeup and put lip gloss on her lips. She was confident that Kazir would notice her lip gloss.
After all, Kazir always looked at her lips. It was actually fun to play with the director.
"I'm sure he'll like it."
Angelina Jolie and Kazir Grey met a few times at the parties. Most of the time, Angelina would make the first move and talk to the director. She noticed that Kazir liked to stare at her pouty lips. She loved that about him, and she knew the director was attracted to her.
But after many encounters, the man never did anything! He was clueless as hell!
He never asked for her number. He never invited her to his home. He didn't even try to hug her or force her into a relationship!
This made Angelina angry with the director. If she didn't know that Kazir was attracted to her, she might think that the director was actually gay.
But out of nowhere she received an invitation from Grey Pictures! She wasn't expecting it at all.
With this opportunity, Angelina decided to prove herself as a woman. That she had the beauty and power to seduce a stoic man like Kazir Grey.
She didn't know if fate was playing with her because Angelina had just divorced her ex-husband Jonny Lee Miller and was suffering from depression.
She admitted that she wanted to use Kazir as a way to move on from her ex-husband.
