Chapter 885 There's No Chance for Us!
"Is this the new film you've arranged for me?" Audrey stormed into Brian's office, holding the new contract.
Brian's secretary followed closely, trying to intervene but felt helpless, given Audrey's special status. "Mr. Johnson, Miss Swann..."
Brian understood the secretary's dilemma and gestured for him to leave. The secretary left relieved, realizing Brian's new girlfriend was not to be trifled with.
Not able to contain her anger any longer, Audrey threw the contract at Brian, glaring at him. "Look at what you've done!"
Brian remained unmoving. Then, with a smirk, he stood up. "Are you satisfied now? There are plenty more contracts on my desk. Feel free to throw them at me, as long as it makes you happy."
Brian's nonchalant attitude made Audrey furious, leaving her no way to vent her anger. She crossed her arms and sat on the nearby sofa, glaring at Brian. "I need an explanation, or I won't let you off easily."
"Give me a minute. I need to know which contract it is," Brian explained, not showing any impatience despite Audrey's outburst.
Audrey remained silent, waiting for Brian's explanation.
After a few seconds, Brian put down the contract and looked at Audrey. "Is there a problem with this contract?"
Since Brian started dating Audrey, he had used various means to gain control of her agency contract and replaced her agent with his assistant. He couldn't accept Audrey being beyond his control.
Kim was a good agent, but he only considered Audrey's perspective, which Brian couldn't accept as it meant losing control over her.
Upon hearing Brian's response, Audrey looked at him in disbelief. "What do you mean? What kind of role have you arranged for me? How can I act in this kind of film?" she asked.
"Don't you think this film will definitely be a hit?" Brian retorted.
Audrey had read the script, and it was quite remarkable. However, as a rising star, she was used to glamorous roles in advertisements and films. Brian had unexpectedly arranged for her to play a role in a combat-themed film as an antagonist.
Once she took on such a role, she might be typecast as a villain for the rest of her career. Many actors who excelled in antagonistic roles were forever associated with such characters, never able to shift to lead roles.
Regardless of how memorable the antagonist role might be, she couldn't accept being stereotyped as a villain. She could sacrifice for art and her career, but not at the price of her entire life.
Brian reassured her, "I promise you, even if everyone sees your character as unforgettable, I can still find better lead roles for you, guaranteeing your position as a lead actress. Audrey, don't you want to be a versatile actress rather than relying solely on your looks for fame? Are you unwilling to make the sacrifice?"
Brian's persuasion left Audrey in contemplation. In the past, Kim would have rejected anything that wasn't advantageous for her career. He would never have accepted a role like this. However, she found herself somewhat persuaded by Brian's words. She wanted to break through.
"Aud, if you don't want to take this role, I won't force you. The penalty for breaching the contract means nothing to me. But I still hope you'll reconsider. Trust me. I have your best interests at heart. I have some work to do. I'll have the driver take you back. Take a couple of days to think it over before giving me your answer."
Brian's concession relieved Audrey. She had expected him to push her to the brink, but his compromise came unexpectedly quickly. She nodded in agreement to his proposal. Then, Brian arranged for the driver to take her home.
After Audrey left, Brian received a call. "I heard Audrey doesn't want to take the role."
Brian's face darkened. "It seems you have a lot of informants around me."
Just as Audrey had left, the call came in, a blatant provocation to Brian. Faced with the inquiry, the other party chuckled and offered no explanation.
Brian knew that he couldn't afford to offend this person right now, so he promised, "Don't worry. I have a way to make Audrey agree."
"Looking forward to your good news!"
Hearing the click of the phone being hung up, Brian slammed his phone against the wall.
Bang!
