Chapter 100
[Author''s note: 100 chapters? Let''s go...! I would like to thank everyone who supports this novel. Also, I want to apologize to everyone who sees my shorings. Thanks guys, I''ll try to do better.]
Kazir faced the reporters. He knew that most of their questions were shitty and mostly meant to annoy him.
They wanted to see Kazir make a scene. Unfortunately, Kazir answered their questions without showing any nervousness or anger. It was as if he was not afraid of the media.
''The media can make trouble and spread rumors, I''ll concentrate on my job instead. I have to make sure that Taken is sessful.''
After Kazir entertained the reporters and paparazzi, he left the set.
They changed their location to shoot indoor scenes instead. They adjusted their schedule just to hide from the media.
"Are you okay?"
Kazir saw Scarlett with teary eyes. It seemed that she cried a lot, judging by her red eyes.
"It''s a good thing you don''t have a scene today. The make-up artist will have a hard time hiding your swollen eyes.""Kazir, you are being rude!"
"I know."
Scarlett red at him. But in the end, she sulked. She knew that Kazir had protected her earlier.
"Thanks." She said and looked away.
"You should keep being a sweet little girl so people will treat you better."
"I''ll try."
"Anyway, why are you here? You should be at the hotel right now, learning from your tutor. The paparazzi don''t care about people''s privacy, so you shouldn''t be around them."
"I went to visit Paul."
"Paul? Are you talking about Paul Arker? The driver who was injured?" Kazir was confused.
"That''s right. Paul is a nice guy and he likes action movies. I heard he wanted to be an action star, but his short height is a problem."
"..."
Kazir didn''t expect that Scarlett was actually close to the driver.
''Well, this brat has a good rtionship with the film crew. She respects them... I wonder why she keeps bothering me?''
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Nothing."
"I went to see Paul because I was afraid he would try to spread lies to the media. This is my first movie and I want it to be a sess." Scarlett muttered while wiping her tears.
"Don''t worry, Harold has already taken care of that. You''re a kid, so it shouldn''t be your problem. I''m more surprised that you''re so worried about this movie."
He hadn''t expected that this little girl would actually visit Paul just to make sure there wouldn''t be a problem.
"Of course. I want to be famous."
Scarlett wiped away her tears and stood up.
"Did your totur take you to the hospital?"
"Yes. She''s a good person. I saw that Paul is in good health and left after. I was afraid to ask him not to betray us, so I left after visiting him."
"What about Karen and Judas from the Children''s Association? Are they not with you?"
Kazir was interested to hear this.
"No, they are not with us. I heard that they will bring more people to make sure I''m okay."
''... I see.''
"Then where is your tutor? She was not with you when the paparazzi harassed you earlier."
"Karen talked to her and I had to go by myself."
"..."
Listening to Scarlett''s answers, Kazir realized that the Children''s Association was really doing its "job" well.
"As soon as your tutor arrives, you can return to the hotel. I have already prepared a car for you."
Scarlett''s parents were busy. Kazir didn''t know the exact story, but he''d heard from Salvatore Barlowe that Scarlett''s parents weren''t having a good rtionship right now.
''Well, they''re not in the set to take care of their daughter, that''s enough for me to understand the situation.''
Kazir had no idea about Scarlett Johansson''s personal life. He only knew her as ck Widow.
"Thank you." Scarlett thanked him.
A few minutester, the tutor returned with a paleplexion. She was worried when she heard that Scarlett had been involved in an incident. She sighed with relief when she realized that Scarlett was fine.
"Miss Tutor, please take care of Scarlett."
"Y- Yes, Director Grey."
"By the way, stay away from the Children''s Association."
"Y- Yes?"
Kazir didn''t bother to exin. He watched as Scarlett got into the car and left.
''idents like this happen all the time, but this one attracted a lot of attention... Unless...''
Suddenly his phone rang and the caller was Agent Salvatore Barlowe.
"Salvatore... What did you find?"
Kazir''s voice was cold and heavy.
[Three letters, WMA.]
Salvatore''s voice was static, but Kazir understood enough.
As expected, this particr agency was still bitter about the mistake they had made.
WMA had a lot of influence in the media, and they could make trouble to Kazir.
"You know what to do."
[I understand. It''s good that only one stuntman was injured. It could be problematic if an actor was injured. This kind of thing is easy for the CAA. Three days, the news about this will disappear within three days.]
Salvatore Barlowe had a strong voice at CAA after The Hangover. He had enough clout to talk to the PR team and influence this matter.
"Hm, that''s good to hear." Kazir nodded.
[However, now that your filming has attracted attention, some reporters will keep track of you and follow you].
"I will take care of it. As long as they can promise to sign a non-disclosure agreement, I will let them join the film crew. It could be good for us too."
At least they got free publicity. They didn''t have to bother paying money to the news stations and news publishers.
All they have to do is change the minds of the masses.
A few dayster, Paul, the driver, showed his face to the media. He announced that the film crew was not to me and thanked Director Grey instead. As a result, the news about the matter quickly died down.
