Chapter 229: Chapter 229: Borrowing a Mobile Phone
Since the company isn’t providing him with resources, he would have to find them himself.
During the afternoon break of the theater troupe, he joined a group of actors at a restaurant. He absentmindedly looked at his phone.
A video playing on his phone was the contest between Tiffany Lynch and Hannah.
The screen was filled with praises for Hannah, causing him to frown. His smile seemed colder now, and his heart felt restless. Unclear emotions swelled in his eyes.
"Hey, isn’t that James Landon?"
"You must be seeing things. Even though we’re at a filming base, it doesn’t mean the streets are crawling with stars!"
"No, really! I think there’s a girl sitting across from him. What’s going on?"
The group instantly became excited. Even Louis Snyder looked up.
They were gazing at a private dining room. The door was half open, showing the waitstaff serving dishes.
Unfortunately, the door was closed in an instant.
People around him lamented not having had a chance to take photographs. If they had, selling them to gossip magazines might’ve earned them a pretty penny.
"Could James Landon be on a date? It’s a shame we couldn’t see who the girl is."
"Is it Hilary Quin? Weren’t there rumors about them? I heard James Landon was writing a song for her."
"Are you living under a rock? James Landon denied everything. It even made headlines! Hilary Quin’s fans bombarded the comments section of James Landon’s new song. The world of fandom is truly terrifying."
Gossip chatted away in his ear, but all Louis Snyder could focus on was the scene he had just seen replaying in his mind.
A raven-haired girl with fair skin was laughing lightly, a piece of cake in her hand. She was engaged in conversation and looked amidst laughter.
It was only a blurry side profile, but he couldn’t help thinking of Hannah Winter.
Even he was taken aback by the sudden thought.
Hannah Winter?
There’s no way she could be here.
He shook his head, supressing this strange idea, while the pain from his wound was getting unbearable.
It felt as if someone was gently touching the wound, full of tenderness.
"I need to run to the restroom." He suddenly stood up. People around him looked at him.
"Be quick. The dishes are about to be served." Someone said casually.
Louis Snyder nodded and left.
The others returned to their previous conversation.
In the private room, the agent who had initially been wary of Hannah was now deep in conversation with her.
Especially when he found out that Hannah had not signed with any label yet, he almost wanted to print out a contract right there. This pretty and talented girl seemed like a perfect fit for him.
It had been a long time since he had represented any new clients having focused on James Landon.
However, Hannah expressed that she had no plans to sign with any agency yet, leaving the agent slightly disappointed. Nonetheless, he added, "If you ever decide to sign with an agency, please consider me."
With that, he handed her a business card.
Hannah took it, thanked him warmly, and asked to borrow a phone.
James Landon figured Hannah wanted to call her family, so he handed her his phone without a second thought.
Hannah found a relatively quiet spot before dialing a number she knew by heart.
The call rang three times before being hung up.
Unfazed, Hannah dialed again.
This time, the call was finally answered. A deep male voice came through, "Hello?"
