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.

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?"
