Chapter 90:

Alexia was finally done reading the manuscript, and as soon as she took her eyes off of the manuscript, she saw Will, who was sweating profusely, and his whole face was red as if he had a heart attack.

“Will? What happened? Are you alright?!”

Alexia got up hurriedly and went near Will. She took out her napkin and cleared the sweat from his forehead, and poured some water into a glass from Will’s office. As she was about to make Will drink some water, he gestured with his hands to make her stop.

He took the water glass from her hand and gulped down every single drop, heaving a sigh, he finally said something.

“Yeah, I am fine. Don’t worry. And don’t give me that look. I definitely wasn’t having a heart attack, and I am still way too young for that.”

Will said teasingly to lift up the atmosphere, although his meek and tired voice didn’t help much in this situation.

“Are you really fine? Let me call a doctor to check on you at least.”

Alexia still seemed unconvinced and had a worried look on her face. Will just smiled, seeing that and said.

“No. I said it’s fine. Just leave me alone for a moment; I would like some private time to think about something.”

Will said as Alexia just sighed.

“Okay, I will go. But be sure to call for me if you need me with something.”

“Yeah, definitely.”

As Alexia was about to leave the office, Will stopped her.

“Arrange for the third round of auditions. I had promised Jeffrey that I would be present seeing to it myself.”

“Most certainly.”

Alexia left his office, and Will was finally alone.

“Haaah!”

Will let out an exhausted sigh as he summoned his system screen again.

Will picked up the telephone at his working table and dialled a number.

“Hello? Jeffrey? Can you come to my office right now?”

***

Jeffrey was currently seated in front of Will and was waiting for him to talk up.

“It’s about what I asked you to do a few days ago.”

Will said. Jeffrey made an enlightened expression and smiled.

“Yes, the talk went smoothly. They agreed to sell the company. In fact, they are eager to sell it. After all, the owner of the company isn’t profiting much from it.”

“Great! Please proceed with the deal. I want to acquire the company as soon as possible. Make sure that news about it doesn’t spread, at least until all the company rights are in my hands.”

Will said with a pleased expression. Another big step in his career was going to be taken right now; he didn’t want to mess it up.

“Haha, don’t worry, Will. You’ll have the company’s papers in your hand soon. Although I still don’t know why you even bothered to get this company. You are truly unpredictable.”

Jeffrey chuckled at the end of his sentence. It was true that most of Will’s moves were unpredictable. But Jeffrey had learnt to believe in his decisions.

“Oh, by the way. One of the comics that they’re publishing is earning quite decently for being a comic. The owner just agreed to sell it because you offered such a huge sum. I heard they are having difficulties in distribution these days.”

Jeffrey said. He himself had analyzed the company and found out that the company was worth a bit below what Will had offered them. Basically, Will had offered a better deal to the company, an offer they can’t refuse.

“They just don’t know what they are losing. ‘You never realize the value of something until you have lost it’, truly an ironic quote.”

Will said, and after some thinking, he remembered something and asked.

“The third round of auditions for DTA will start soon, right? I would be present myself too. Did you contact the persons I gave you a list of before?”

Will was talking about the list he had given Jeffrey as a personal recommendation for DTA recruitment.

Jeffrey made a face as if he suddenly remembered something and said.

“Yes, I was about to tell you about it myself, and some of them have already agreed to join. But...”

“But what?”

Will asked curiously, and Jeffrey replied.

“It’s Marcus, the guy that acted alongside Zach and June in [The Blair Witch Project]. He had apparently gotten into drugs after his career failure.”

Will was shocked to hear that. Apparently, Zach had been able to get some roles for himself in ICM and was able to raise his level in the industry bit by bit. On the other hand, Marcus had been on a downward slope and ended up with drug addictions due to career pressure.

“Sigh, it’s truly a waste. I’ll tell Alexia to set up a meeting with me. For now, you should just focus on the acquisition of that company.”

Jeffrey nodded and said as if he was truly perplexed.

“I really don’t get what you see so important in that company. What was its name again? Ah yes, Marvel Comics.”

Will just smiled lightly hearing that.
