As soon as Thomas arrived at work today, the gaze of every colleague in the open-plan office had changed. In just a few months, his client, Martin Davis, had topped the North American box office charts twice!
"When was the last time something like this happened with an agent in the hall? How many years ago?" someone asked in a low voice.
Another replied, "It seems, it seems like it was the second year after Ari Emanuel left the mailroom."
The first person, jealous and envious, said, "Where does an agent's value lie? Clients! Now that Thomas has Martin as a client, as long as Martin doesn't fire him, he is bound to become wealthy."
The other person fell silent, an idea irresistibly surfacing in his mind: Martin Davis's next movie must be a disaster.
At that moment, who knows how many agents in the hall harbored similar thoughts.
Especially when Thomas was called away for a meeting with the executives.
