Goodbye, Mr. Regret

Chapter 400

"All right, I'll talk to him again and see if we can work something out."

Yates hung up the phone.

Vince glanced over and asked, "So, which movie's got you so riled up?"

"It's the one I just mentioned to Timothy. They won't let me have the exclusive rights to invest, promote, and produce it."

When Yates set his sights on something, he always meant to get it—no exceptions.

But this had nothing to do with Vince, so he didn't dwell on it. He just said, "A friend of mine has a film about to hit theaters. When the time comes, could you help arrange some good showtimes?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it. I'll get you the best slots possible. But if it doesn't work out, there's only so much I can do. You know how this business is— everyone's gotta eat. If something bigger comes along, sometimes we have to make room."

"I get it. Just help out at the start."

"Done. Keep me posted when everything's ready."

Before they parted, Yates gave Vince one more piece of advice: he really should stop pursuing Jessica. If things blew up with Timothy, it'd just make life harder for everyone.

Friends shouldn't fall out over something like this.

Jessica was actually Salome, so as far as he was concerned, his ties to Timothy were much closer. Timothy and Jessica were legally married, and Vince trying to get involved
