Hollywood What If Chapter 49

[I post my updates around 11 pm to 12 midnight Philippine time.]

Naomi Watts, currently 28 years old. She is a famous actress from Australia. But her fame in Australia is nothing in front of Hollywood. 

Naomi Watts tried many things to break through the market. But so far, she reached nothing.

Thankfully, because she is a friend of Mrs. Cruise, Naomi Watts used that connection to audition for many roles. 

She's been in Hollywood since the early 90s but she was still not famous. To make it clear, Naomi Watts was trying to find a way to be successful in the vanity fair of Hollywood. 

Unlike Nicole Kidman who married Tom Cruise and easily became famous, Naomi Watts's career path was bumpy. 

However, the man in front of her was different. 

Kazir Grey, because of his two films that have more than $100 million North American box office, his name started to get more attraction.

Furthermore, he made Ed Helms a star because of Napoleon Dynamite.

Directors are known as star-maker as well. 

So obviously, Naomi Watts wanted to ride the wave to get to the top. Simple as that. 

She smirked as she found that the women were staring daggers at her. She liked the attention. She liked that she got the first move and caught Kazir Grey's attention. 

"Kazir, I'm interested in your movie... How about we go to a quiet place and talk about it?"

She whispered, slightly leaning her body closer to Kazir. 

The woman was clearly showing signs. 

As for Kazir...

'Naomi Watts. A very beautiful woman. I think she became famous after the Mulholland Drive. Then, she starred in King Kong as the giant gorilla's muse.'

Her beauty is impeccable. 

Kazir smiled and extended his hand. 

"How about we go to the garden?"

"... That's good to hear."

Naomi Watts' lips twitched. But because she is an actress, she knows how to control her expression. 

To be honest, she thought the man would ask her to leave the party and take her to something quiet, such as a hotel or his house. 

Yet Kazir took her to the garden instead. She was disappointed. Especially when she liked the man.

Kazir is handsome and fit. He looks like an action star with a stature of more than 6 feet height. 

The reason why Kazir didn't invite Naomi to somewhere quiet was simple. He knew what was going on. 

He likes Naomi Watts and Kazir is not a man if he said that he didn't like to take her to the bedroom. However, he had just recently divorced and he didn't want to be entangled with many women. 

Besides, he respects Reese Witherspoon and he didn't want to do something behind her back even though their relationship was platonic. 

Mind over dick. 

The garden was well-lit. There were people in the garden but it was not crowded, unlike the ballroom. 

Kazir Grey and Naomi Watts had a nice conversation. The man is witty and he knows how to entertain a man.

'Especially whenever he speaks about filmmaking, he looks like a child excited to share his hobby.'

She found him childish, and she liked it. 

"You're a funny man, Kazir."

"Is that so?"

She smiled and twirled her wineglass.

"So Kazir... I heard that you're starting a project. Do you have a suitable role for me?"

"I'm sorry Naomi, we already have a list of the actresses that passed the audition. My movie only has small scenes with women. It's not worthy for a beautiful woman like you."

"..."

She didn't know what to say. She was praised and rejected at the same time, she felt something weird in her heart.

Suddenly, she wondered what face Kazir would show if she seduced him into the bedroom. She licked her lips thinking of that idea. 

Unfortunately, their interaction ended when a person disturbed them. 

"Kazir, I'm so happy to meet you!"

A man who has short brown hair entered their sight. The man was smiling, it seemed that he was a close friend of Kazir. 

"Congratulations, Se7en and Napoleon Dynamite are a huge success!"

"Carl..."

Kazir Grey looked at the agent who dropped him after the contract ended. 

"Hehe, this woman is...?"

"She's Naomi Watts. Naomi, this is Carl Morin. He is an agent from WMA."

"I see... Let's talk next time, Kazir. It's nice to meet you."

Naomi Watts is a smart woman. She sensed that there was something wrong between Kazir and Carl.

She was a client of WMA and she wanted to maintain her. So she didn't dare disturb them. She didn't have the ability to face a strong agency like WMA. 

"The pleasure is mine." Kazir nodded and let the woman leave. 

"Kazir, I heard that CAA signed a contract with you."

Once Naomi Watts was gone, Carl Morin started talking to Kazir about his intention.

"That's right. A man Salvatore Barlowe contacted me and I signed a contract with him."

"I see."

Carl Morin smiled but he was actually cursing this Salvatore Barlowe. 

'I don't know who the fuck is this agent Salvatore Barlowe but he is clearly a newbie in this game.'

"Carl, why do you want to talk to me?"

"Haha, of course I want to have a conversation with you. We are friends."

"We are not friends," Kazir answered sternly. 

This agent kicked him out of WMA after he accidentally dropped a very tiny amount of water on the Vice- President's suit. He actually apologized, but the ending was expected. He was blacklisted in WMA.

Perhaps even now WMA still didn't erase his name from the list.  

"... Well," Carl cleared his throat after realizing that Kazir was not kidding. 

"Kazir, sign a contract with me. I promise you that I can give you better treatment than CAA. William Morris is ready to pour resources into you. I assure you that. WMA can influence the film companies and your movies will have better contracts."

Kazir didn't flinch even though Carl was sincere. In terms of sincerity, Salvatore Barlowe was much better. 

What WMA can do, CAA can do it as well.
