Jasper thought back to the pretty actress he had met when he first took over Michael’s Gladness Movies before it became Advent Entertainment Group.
‘She’s looking for me through Ted?
‘Does she want fame?
‘More resources?’
These were nothing new in the entertainment industry.
Jasper furrowed his brows as this was not good news.
“I do.” Jasper nodded.
Ted was a smart man, and from the slight change in jasper’s face, he could tell that Jasper was unhappy about this. Ted’s eyes shifted as he silently regretted agreeing to help Scarlet and began thinking about how best to frame the issue.
“Just tell me, what is it?” Jasper looked at Ted and sighed.
Ted smiled wryly and replied, “It’s just that Scarlet came to look for me because she wanted to introduce a friend to you, Mr. Laine. It’s the talented Stephen Cole. You’ve heard of him right, Mr. Laine?”
‘Stephen Cole?’
It was rare for people not to recognize this top-notch master of comedy.
At the height of his career, it was said that every citizen owed that man a movie ticket since they were all pirating it online instead of watching it in cinemas.
Jasper liked Stephen Cole’s movies as well, but he could not fanboy over celebrities considering his current status. Not to mention, he was well aware that celebrities were often completely different on and off-screen.
Stephen Cole, for example, was a hilarious man in his movies, yet he was a stern and unsmiling man in private.
‘Don’t believe me?
‘Yet that was the truth.
‘In any case, what is Scarlet trying to do by introducing Stephen Cole to me?’
“I’ve heard of him. Bring him over quickly if she wants to introduce him, then. I have around fifteen minutes.” Jasper gave it some thought and decided that he would give this master of comedy some of his time.
After all, he had watched quite a few of Stephen Cole’s movies in both his past and present life, and, to put it kindly, he had never done watched him in a cinema.
Not to mention, this man was sort of like Jasper’s idol in his past life, and Jasper was curious about him.
There was no harm in meeting the man.
Ted joyfully acknowledged Jasper’s agreement and quickly jogged out.
In no time at all, Ted managed to find Scarlet and Stephen, who were waiting anxiously in another room.
“How’d it go, Mr. Swanson?”
Scarlet asked excitedly as Ted entered through the door.
While she had seen Jasper before, Scarlet knew that her seemingly high status, countless fans, and plethora of suitors, were nothing as compared to Jasper, who was stood at the peak of the business world.
Celebrities were nothing more than playthings for bigshots like him.
Therefore, Scarlet was not confident about meeting him for the first time.
Despite this, Ted chuckled and replied, “Don’t worry, there’s nothing I can’t do once I give you my word. Mr. Laine’s agreed to meet you two, but he’s busy and can only spare fifteen minutes. So come with me quickly.”
