Bab 10: Chapter 9 : Let me adapt your book for a movie.
" Tell them I'm not doing the movie ", the man that spoke had light red hair and the boredom in his red eyes were evident. Zuri tightened her grip on the script in her hand, " But this movie is a one time opportunity ".
Justice sighed as he ran his hands through his hair, " There will be more ". Zuri pouted slightly walking over to his side of the table, " Pretty please Boss. How many people get a chance to act in a Remi's City adaptation "?
Justice sighed as she rubbed his shoulders, " Remi's City you say ". Zuri nodded, putting more effort as she pounded his shoulders lightly, " Yes boss, you've heard of her "?
He shook his head, glanced over another the script still on the table " Not really, probably some washed up author trying to bring themselves back to limelight ". Zuri frowned as she hammered his shoulders furiously, " How dare you? You know what, you don't deserve to act in it ".
Justice laughed as he rubbed his shoulders and watched Zuri leave with her long light pink hair following behind her. He picked the script and smiled, " Remi's City does sound familiar though ".

Iris groaned as she turned in her new bed, making Jeremy and Felicity who were sleeping beside her steer, " Five more freaking minutes ". Iris sat up and reached for her phone answering the call.
" Hello "? The voice on the other side sounded excited that she picked the call, " Glad to know I didn't wake you Miss Fetti ". Iris groaned, instantly recognizing the voice " What do you want Lior "?
The man called Lior only sighed, " Same as usual, trying to convince you to let me turn your book into a movie ". Iris rubbed her eyes as she crawled out of bed, " Which one "?
Iris could already sense the smile on Lior's face as he spoke, " The newest of your one of a kind works, Echo ". Iris rolled her eyes as she ruffled her bed hair, putting her phone on speaker " You still know I'll say no..right "? Lior didn't give up as he spoke more earnestly.
" Hear me out, I'll make Justice Speedwell the lead if you agree ". Iris had no idea who that was and didn't care to find out when Jeremy suddenly squealed, sitting up " Did he just say Justice Speedwell "!?
Felicity mumbled as she turned in the bed telling them not to be noisy. Jeremy jumped out of the bed and into Iris' arms. Lior only laughed, " Morning Jeremy ". Jeremy pulled on Iris white T shirt as he tried to control his excitement, " Did you just say Justice Speedwell Uncle Lior "?
" Of course, I'd never lie to your mom ", Jeremy nodded in agreement, " Did you agree mom "? Iris felt a headache coming as she shook her head, " Unfortunately, no ". Jeremy's smile immediately fell as he pouted slightly, " But Justice Speedwell ".
Iris felt torn, she didn't want the stress of being involved in the entertainment industry, especially since she used to work behind the scenes before she became a millionaire. But she couldn't let Jeremy cry either and Justice Speedwell was his favorite actor.
Jeremy rested his head on her chest as he hugged her neck tighter, " I know you have your reasons mommy but pretty pretty please ". Iris felt her resolve breaking as he spoke when Jeremy looked at her phone.
" You're not allowed to bully her though or else ". Lior stifled a laugh as he tried to sound serious, " Of course not, your mom is very precious to me ". Iris could only roll her eyes, " Fine but we want Justice Speedwell, according to Jeremy's request ".
The line was silent for a few seconds then Lior spoke again, " Of course Iris, when can we sign the contract "? Iris frowned as she put Jeremy down, " Why so soon "? Lior sighed, " I have to move quickly before you change your mind ".
[ He's gotten smarter ] Jeremy hugged her even tighter as if pleading with her not to trick him again and she sucked on her pinkie, " We can sign today if that's okay ". Lior laughed victoriously, " No problem, just open the door ".
Iris frowned even deeper as she rushed to the window, " What do you mean open the door "? Then the doorbell rang and there he was smiling up at her his light green hair in his face and blue eyes as mischievous as always, " The contract's ready ".
