Hollywood What If

Chapter 50

"Kazir, we worked together for three years. You know what I can do. The connection I have. The opportunities I can give you!"

Carl Morin began to feel confident as he watched Kazir listen to him. He believed in his abilities. 

Compared to the unknown agent Salvatore Barlowe, Carl Morin believed he could take Kazir to a higher level. 

"..."

But Kazir kept his mouth shut and stared at him. He didn't bother to talk to Carl Morin and let the agent waste his saliva. 

"Kazir. You know that your first three movies happened because of me. You know how I contacted so many people just for you."

In fact, Carl Morin was one of the main reasons why he became a director and made three horror movies. 

But it was impossible to forget how Carl Morin betrayed Kazir. 

"I heard you signed a contract with a young director from Hong Kong?"

Carl Morin knew Kazir's intention in talking about his new signed director. But Carl Morin was too stubborn to tell the truth. 

"Well, if you think he's talented, why don't you put all your resources into him instead of me? I'm sure he'll be happy." Kazir said.

"... Anyway, Kazir. I promise you that the WMA will be your strongest supporter."

Carl Morin was already sweating after spitting.

"..."

But Kazir Grey just stared at him.

Left with no choice, Carl Morin gritted his teeth and used his last card. 

"7% commission! As long as you signed a contract with me, I promise you that my commission will only be 7%!"

"What about breach of contract?"

"WMA will cover any damages."

"Looks like you planned this seriously." Kazir touched his chin. 

"Of course. Can't you see the sincerity of the WMA? Kazir, we want you back. Don't forget your promise to become one of the most sought-after directors in Hollywood!"

Kazir didn't forget his promise. In fact, he did his best to make this dream come true.

Unfortunately, Kazir was not interested in signing a contract with Carl Morin. Especially after what he had done to him. 

"I'm sorry Carl, I'm not changing my agency. Even though my time at CAA is short, CAA has been so good to me."

"That... 5 percent! Kazir, I think you will be tempted by that kind of deal! 5% commission. That's the lowest I can offer you."

Carl Morin felt like he was bleeding inside as he spoke. 5% commission was a very good deal. He was basically cutting off his livelihood. 

He stared at Kazir, hoping for a positive reaction.

Unfortunately, Kazir didn't react. He just stared at Carl Morin without any emotion. 

"Sorry, Carl, Salvatore Barlowe offered 3% commission. I don't think you can do that."

"What?"

Carl Morin was stunned. 

'3% commission? How can an agent do that? Salvatore Barlowe thinks Kazir Grey is worth that condition? This is insanity!'

The sweaty agent cursed. He could not believe that an agent would offer something so great. 

He would understand if Salvatore was trying to lure Steven Spielberg or James Cameron. But Kazir Grey was just a lucky director. He had no substantial power to prove that he was worth a 3% commission. 

"...I understand," Carl Morin felt as if his molars were bleeding. 

He clenched his fists and said...

"3% commission! If Salvatore Barlowe can do it, so can I!"

He roared and the other guests looked at him. 

"Sorry Carl, I trust Salvatore more than you."

Kazir shook his head and started to walk away. 

Carl Morin realized something. 

"W-wait a minute Kazir! Did you just let me talk and waste my time when you will reject me from the beginning?"

He glared at Kazir. He felt like he was being played. He was humiliated.

"That's right. Unlike Salvatore Barlowe, you are much more stubborn. I know you will keep talking just to convince me."

"You bastard! Who do you think you are? Kazir Grey, you better remember the reason why you reached your position! Without me, you will never become a director! I paved the way for you!"

Carl Morin's face was red as a tomato. He was angry that the man in front of him disregarded him after all he had done to help him achieve his status. 

"I can't deny it. You really helped me for three years. However, I know that you've also been fucking my ex-wife for three years."

"T-that's!"

"I know that. So you don't have to say anything. Carl Morin, it's your own fault that you dumped me after the contract ended. I don't owe you anything."

Kazir left Carl Morin stunned. 

The agent thought he was being discreet about his relationship with Cassandra. But it seemed that Kazir already knew. 

He had been played to the point of humiliation. 

Kazir Grey had actually found out in his past life. 

In his past life, after the divorce settlement, Cassandra said that she was also fucking Carl Morin. Just to rub salt in the wound, the bitch didn't hesitate to hurt him.

Fortunately, Kazir had already moved on and didn't care about Carl and Cassandra. They can live their lives all they want, but Kazir didn't have anything to do with them. 

That's right, Cassandra is betraying two people. She's for the street.

Kazir left the party unrepentant. In fact, he slept better that night. He felt as if everything that bound him was gone. 

Unlike Carl Morin, Salvatore was much more passionate about his work. The agent was constantly contacting people to join Kazir's crew. Heck, the agent even helped out with odd jobs. Perhaps Salvatore Barlowe was grateful because Kazir hired one of his clients, Hae-Won Park.  /Puji_maki
