Kapitel 217: HWI 217
Hollywood What If Chapter 217
Jessica Alba heard an actress click her tongue in annoyance as Jessica spoke to the director.
Jessica smiled sweetly, knowing that the eyes of the women in the hallway were on her, angry and annoyed.
"Director, are you taking a break?" Jessica asked, innocence in her eyes.
"Uh, yeah," Kazir looked at his Casio watch.
"You guys can also take a break and have lunch. The audition will resume in an hour." Kazir announced and some of the women got up. Some went to the bathroom to touch up their makeup.
"Director, can I eat with you? Ah, I brought a lunch box. You don't have to treat me."
Perhaps knowing that her chances of getting the role were slim, Jessica Alba decided to go straight to the director.
More sets of eyes was aimed at Jessica, but she stood still.
Kazir looked at her for a few seconds. Jessica felt as if Kazir was studying her from head to toe. For unknown reasons, she suddenly felt hot...
The director's gaze penetrated her. After a few seconds, Kazir nodded his head.
"Okay. Follow me to the canteen."
"Yes? Y- Yes! Right away, Director!"
Jessica was actually surprised that Kazir agreed. She thought that Kazir would say no, just like the last time. She realized that Kazir was not a simple guy who would say yes just to get in a woman's pants... That made him interesting.
Seducing a man like Kazir meant a lot. Many actresses tried to have sex with him, even going so far as to invite him to their hotel rooms, but Kazir held his ground.
For a young woman like Jessica, she was interested in the cold-hearted man Kazir Grey. Kazir was different from the usual directors in her definition. He was tall, fit and handsome. Especially now that he had shaved his beard. He could be an actor if he wanted to be.
Jessica meekly followed the man into the cafeteria, a little nervous. She knew she was trying to seduce the man, but she hadn't expected to get this far.
The two sat facing each other. Kazir called for someone to bring him lunch while Jessica opened her lunch box.
"You are indeed young to bring a lunch box like a student in this situation."
"I cooked this myself." She replied shyly. "Do you want some?"
"That's okay, my lunch is here."
One of the crew members set down the plate of waffles with syrup and French fries. Then his drink was a bottle of Sprite.
Jessica was a little surprised. She thought the director would eat something extravagant, like steal or something.
"Jessica, someone already got the female lead, so you don't have to work hard."
"..." Jessica bit her lip, she wasn't expecting that. "Can I know her name?"
"It's Angelina Jolie."
This thing was going to spread anyway, so there was no reason to keep it a secret.
"Angelina Jolie? If I'm not mistaken, she should have a movie coming out next week. I saw the trailer, I think the name of the movie is Girl, Interrupted. I remember the trailer because Winona Ryder is the main character, I love Winona Ryder. She's so beautiful.
Kazir nodded and respected her opinion... Winona Ryder really was beautiful.
"Tell your agent to find you another role. The actress we were looking for is over 20 years old and ready for a nude scene. Jessica, you are too young to do a nude scene. You should take your time and relax, you are still young and have a bright future".
So Kazir agreed to take Jessica Alba to the cafeteria. He wanted to tell her not to rush. There were many opportunities for her, but certainly not Wanted.
"I... I can't. I..."
Jessica began to stutter.
"Jessica, do you..."
Kazir could tell that something was wrong with the young woman. When he said that Jessica wouldn't get the part, she became nervous and discouraged.
"Jessica, did you sleep with someone just to get through the second round?"
Everything became clear. First of all, Jessica Alba was too young for a movie like Wanted. The casting director should have known that, unless...
"N- No, I didn't." The woman immediately shook her head.
"Then why are you stuttering?" His voice got heavier and Jessica hiccupped.
She decided to tell the truth.
"I didn't have sex with anyone on the crew. But my agent did. He had sex with the casting director so I could pass the audition."
"Wait a minute. He did?"
Kazir frowned. The casting director for this project was a man!
"That's right, my agent had a hard time walking for two days after that transaction. There's a rumor that the casting director swings both ways and my agent jumped the gun."
"..."
Kazir was speechless.
"Damn, this is crazy.
"Ah, but don't worry. My agent is gay, so it's not a problem for him."
"It's a problem for me... I have to talk to Salvatore and tell him I need a new casting director. Transaction with sex could backfire on us and it will affect the project.
He didn't want any trouble.
He knew that this kind of transaction was everywhere in Hollywood and he knew that it was impossible to stop it.
As long as there were men and women willing to use their bodies, it would never go away. That was the hard truth.
But Kazir wanted none of that in his project.
"Um, director... I know I'm not close to you, but can I get your number? If you are against it, can I give you my number instead? I hope that if you have roles that are suitable for me, you will call me or my agent... I will work hard."
"Give me your number."
"A- Alright..." Jessica Alba was disappointed. She knew that Kazir would never get in touch with her.
The woman meekly gave him the business card and left the cafeteria after eating.
There were a lot of people in the cafeteria and there were cameras. If there were any rumors, Kazir had proof to back him up.
+++++++
[Author's Note: Damn, I feel like I've wasted this situation. But considering Kazir's personality, I know it will not be easy for him to have a relationship or even an affair with a woman. Perhaps they will meet again in a year or two. I apologize, as a man I have this urge to write smut, but I have to make sure it's believable and within the expected plot. So yeah... I might go the Angelina Jolie route for now. I remembered that Kazir and Angelina met a few times at parties, but I never wrote their conversations, I'll try to cook up something about them].
[One other thing, do you want Wanted to be PG-13? The original Wanted is R, and it's good. But if Wanted went PG-13, then it would be more believable for it to have a higher box office, higher than Taken and The Hangover in this universe].
