Chapter 679 Theodore Had No Intention of Making Things Difficult for Her

Hank clapped his hands and laughed, "Ms. Ziegler, I like your style, but I've already got someone for this role."

Phoebe stayed calm, "Patrick's booked solid until the year after next. He can't take on Nicholas."

Last night, when Cindy came over to Phoebe's for dinner, they ended up chatting about the entertainment industry and the casting for "Ice and Fire." Word was, Hank had been talking to Patrick's team, trying to get him to play Nicholas, but Patrick wasn't taking any new movies.

This was insider info even Hank didn't know.

Hank grinned, "Looks like you did your homework."

"Hank, your movies always kill it at the box office. What you really need is to create another star like Patrick, right?"

"Ms. Ziegler, you sure know how to talk." Hank turned to Theodore with a helpless look, "Mr. Reynolds, you're the investor. You decide who plays Nicholas." Phoebe pressed her lips together and looked up at Theodore. Under the bright lights, his gaze was unreadable, making it hard for Phoebe to figure him out.

Wesley looked at Theodore nervously, while Phoebe spoke up, "Mr. Reynolds, I apologize for any offense caused earlier."

Theodore leaned back in his chair, squinting at Phoebe.
