3 I accept that wager! (2/2)

You took a deep breath. ”I might not have any acting potential, but with what I know and have learned, I will be a damn good –

”You will not amount to anything,” your agent said and placed his cup on the table. ”Listen to me, you are not suitable for this industry and continuing will be the waste of my time and energy. You have played how many characters so far? How many of them have dialogue?”

You narrowed your eyes. Why would your agent ask you that? You didn't have any dialogue because your agent didn't do his job properly and get you one with a dialogue. Besides, you were using those roles to study film productions and become a director in the future.

”I'm a waste of your time and energy?” You questioned if you have heard it correctly.

”Yes,” your agent said firmly. ”I should have dropped you years ago. That was my mistakes. Now, can you please leave, as I have business with a real actor.”

Hearing the cue, Thomas Anderson smirked and rejoined the table. It seemed that he had won this contest with you. ”So, I heard that you are not suitable for Hollywood. Even the best emerging agent couldn't do anything for you. Now, can you give us a moment?”

Your agent nodded and paid his undivided attention to your rival. There was a rage burning within you as you watched your agent talked calmly and nicely to Thomas.

”Sir, your coffee,” the waiter brought your coffee. You looked at the pitch-black emptiness in the cup as you felt your future in Hollywood is bleak.

”Don't worry, it's on me,” Thomas said. ”I know that you will be unemployed soon.”

”Thanks,” you said and picked up the cup. ”Cheer to your future career, hope it will be bright as mine.”

Your agent raised an eyebrow as you drank the whole cup in one gulp. It was scolding hot, but you didn't care as you slammed the cup on the table. ”I will be the fucking best director in Hollywood or die trying!”

You stomped out of the café after and heard a voice in your head.

[System accepts the wager: I will be the best fucking director in Hollywood or die trying.]

[New Quest: Be the best fucking director in Hollywood! (See conditions)]

[Failure: Your life is forfeit.]
