Lance was stunned for a moment and carefully savored the meaning of Albert's words. Today is the first day Chaos Film has moved into the office. Even the desk has just been placed. How could a guest come to the door? Moreover, seeing Albert's expression, he was obviously confused...

After thinking about it, Lance raised his eyes and looked at Albert, showing a smile, "You should greet the guests on my behalf and tell them that after the meeting, I will receive them in person."

Albert met Lance's calm and composed gaze, and his blue eyes, which were as bright as the dawn, were not anxious or impatient. The corners of his tense mouth couldn't help but relax slightly and nodded, "I understand." This was originally what Albert was good at, and after receiving Lance's affirmation, his mood quickly calmed down. Albert once again gave Cole, Kate and the other two, and then retreated.

"If I hadn't calculated the error, there would be only fifteen seconds left." Lance's words stunned Kate, and turned his head and saw the brilliance hidden in the warmth in Lance's eyes.

Cole opened his mouth and wanted to interrupt, but Kate spoke in time, "If I didn't understand the mistake, the fifteen-second waste just now was not my reason." Cole glanced at Kate in surprise, and he suddenly understood that if he interrupted and pleaded for Kate, then all Kate's previous efforts would have turned into a flow of water.

Lance shrugged gently, "Accidents are everywhere, thirty seconds of yours, missing is missing. You can argue, but time will not go back." Simply put, it is: I am a scoundrel, what can you do?

Kate felt powerless. Lance's words were always gentle and kind, but the firmness and calmness hidden in his eyes controlled all the rhythms invisibly. The urgency of frequent out-of-control made it difficult for him to calm down. But Kate knew that she could not give up, and she must not give up. "If I missed an excellent actor just because of these fifteen seconds of gains and losses, it was my loss, but I think it was also your loss."

Kate's answer was once again unexpected, and Lance raised an eyebrow and smiled, "So, you call yourself an 'excellent' actor."

Kate could hear the jokes and jokes in Lance's words, which made Kate's cheeks start to get hot. Although at this moment, Kate knew that she was performing and showing her strength and tenacity, she was still a little uncomfortable. Usually, she was always modest and low-key, and she was so arrogant and head-on, which was completely different from her style.

At this moment of distractedness, Lance's voice rang again. "Thirty seconds are over." Kate suddenly raised his head and looked at Lance in surprise. He couldn't hide his anger in his eyes - she had persisted until the end, but at the last moment she missed the opportunity because of her own self-proclaimed words. This is really...

But Lance turned his gaze to Cole, "I think that's all for this audition."

Cole patted Kate's shoulder, making her come back to her senses, and then signaled that she could leave the office first. She whispered, "Let everyone wait outside, I'll come out soon." Kate bit her lower lip tightly, looking at Lance again unwillingly, but Cole did not entangle anymore. She patted Kate's arm again, and then Kate stood up.

After pausing in place for about two seconds, Kate still did not wait for Lance's other reactions, then turned around depressedly and left the office.

After Kate left, Lance stood up and placed the actor information on his knee on his desk, "Sorry, I need to go out to deal with the guests first. So, do you hope to continue later, or make an appointment with another day?"

"So, what do you think of Kate?" Cole did not answer the question, but asked. Lance looked at Cole calmly, and Cole watched it back without showing any weakness. Finally, the smile on the corner of Lance's mouth bloomed, he shook his head gently, and did not intend to answer, and then walked quickly towards the door. Cole called out Lance again, "Lance, the last question, tell me, is my judgment wrong? This is not a commercial movie, right?"

Cole is not a fool, on the contrary, he is very smart. It can be seen in both Mark and Kate's auditions just now that Lance did not pay too much attention to the actor's appearance, but he always paid attention to the actor's performance rhythm. This detail can be seen that the focus of Lance's selection of actors obviously deviates from his expectations.

Lance smiled gracefully, "I think there are gains and losses, aren't it?" After that, Lance opened the office door and stood at the door. Lance came to his senses, "By the way, if you need it, you can use this office. Anyway, the whole company is full of chaos now, and I can receive guests elsewhere."

After saying that, Lance walked out with great strides.

Cole knew the meaning of Lance's last sentence, but in fact he confirmed his guess - in order to seize the time difference, there must be some errors in the collection of information, which is also an inevitable price. However, before Cole could think further, he saw Terence Cox standing in front of the door of the other end of the office - one of the most powerful agents of the innovative artist brokerage company at present. Many people think that it has been a partner for the past or two years.

Cole sighed lightly. Hollywood was originally a small circle, and Century City was a place as big as a palm, and the spread of information was even more wings. Whether it was a deliberate or a coincidence, his time advantage had disappeared at this moment.

Lance obviously did not expect that Terence was visiting the door, and two other strange faces were accompanied by Roland Perkins (ro-hubble), all three of them were senior agents of innovative artist agency. They were coming in full force, and compared to Cole, they were definitely well prepared.

"I'm still waiting for your call." Terence narrowed the distance between him and Lance in just one sentence - this is only the second time that Lance and Terence have met since George Clooney introduced them last year.

"How I wish this sentence came from a lady's mouth." Lance's clever treatment made everyone chuckled, and even Roland and William quickly shortened the distance between them and Lance.

Only then did Lance have time to take a simple look at the office, with a desk paired with six chairs, and freshly brewed coffee was placed on the table. Under the limited conditions, Albert did his best, and he could feel that the atmosphere in the office had always been very good.

Albert looked at Lance with inquiring eyes, as if he was about to retreat, but Lance's eyes flashed slightly, signaling him to stay. After receiving the signal, Albert turned his head skillfully to look at Terence, "So where did we talk about just now? When Tom Brady was sacked?"

"Then my TV went black!" Terence touched his shiny bald head, rubbed his palm and said, which caused everyone to scream. The common language between men easily connected everyone. "I originally thought that the broadcaster had a problem, but when I turned around, it turned out that my wife had unplugged the TV."

"Oh!" The men wailed collectively, and their expressions that could not bear to look at were exactly the same, as if their fingers were caught by a mouse.

Albert looked at Lance and quietly included Lance in the topic. "This is why we need to go to the scene to watch the game. Even if someone disturbs it, the game is still within sight, right?"

"Did you watch the game on the spot in this year's Super Bowl?" Terence also followed suit and turned his attention to Reims.

Lance nodded, "But unfortunately it turned out not what I wanted." Everyone in the room had a "I agree" expression. This is California, and almost no one is a New England Patriots fan.

"So, you're there friends with Tom, right?" Roland, who was sitting next to him, spoke.

The media did not report this because Lance was not worthy of media attention at that time. Obviously Roland received the news from Wade Russell. "I won't say that." Lance shook his head with a smile, "We are not friends, we are just people we know. But yes, we do know there."

"Since it's not a friendly performance, it seems that the work you are about to collaborate on this time is bound to be another masterpiece, so this is enough to impress Tom." Roland's calm words brought the topic to the core content of today in a blink of an eye. "I have heard countless news about 'killing with a knife', and almost everyone is praising this work, and Tom is even more excited."

Lance was a little surprised, but when he thought about it carefully, he was expected. Even though the box office victory was recently "the day after tomorrow", the only thing that could make the innovative artist agency make a big move is to "kill people with a knife" - Wade's appearance at the actor meeting that day was a direct signal. "I hope so." Lance still had a neither arrogant nor impatient smile on his face, but did not hide the confidence and firmness in his eyes.

Terence smiled and took the conversation, "Let's do it, we can have dinner together tonight, and then talk about this work carefully. As far as I know, the current cast of the work is only Tom, believe me, we can provide the best service in the whole Hollywood."

A simple sentence seemed meaningful and contained countless information. The confident and imposing posture did not leave much room for Lance to maneuver. However, Lance did not retreat at all, and the smile at the corner of his mouth did not dissipate, "Maybe. But I don't think today is a good time. As you can see, today is a busy day." Neither humble nor arrogant, Lance gave Terence a soft nail.
