Hollywood Zenith

Two years ago, Abigail was dubbed by the media as a fraudster for her involvement in the Asian financial crisis. Some people did come to her defense, but the one writing the narrative had a lot more influence, promptly suppressing them.

This day most news channels overturned their view and present the real people behind it. Ryan and his circle of friends were ostracized and fired from their position.

More surprising was that they volunteered to state their offenses on camera. They looked miserable throughout the whole confession. Samuel left their fates in the hands of authority and he ignored everything related to it. He was satisfied their response.

They were never used to accepting their misdeeds, but this time was different.

They were given an ultimatum; it was either this, or they would be disowned by their family. Every board member decided to go this route to keep the company's image. There would be some backlash but nothing serious that the time could not heal.

Abigail was in a good mood.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ She considered herself lucky to have met Samuel, who saved her daughter and helped her clear her name. She could finally leave the past behind and look hopeful for the future.

The second news was never made public. It spread from mouth to mouth, which made it more exaggerated and twisted. But the core message remained the same as to summarise; it went something along the line.

"Don't fuck with The Rothschild."

The story of how Rothschild made a financial giant kneel for offending them spread inside the inner circles. The chairman had to beg on his knees and give substantial financial incentives to please the other party.

Samuel was also portrayed as a ruthless and domineering child who went to war for his employee or how he fired all his subordinates for speaking rudely to him. He was starting a new empire to show his worth to his new 'bride.'

Such a wild rumor circulated for quite a while, but one thing was clear he was becoming more and more famous, but what puzzled people was that there was not a single photograph of him. It's like some unknown entity was hiding his existence. All they know is his people depicting him in words.

[ After a few months]

The firm was doing better than ever; as Samuel predicted, the market soared to a new height as the public went wild investing in the IT sector.

Samuel's new book, Hobbit the picture book, was also published. Samuel sent the first copy directly to Japan to Princess as he promised. She was delighted and thanked him repeatedly over the phone for the gift.

Readers were also excited because of the hype surrounding it. Many were surprised to find that the author personally did the illustrations. It perfectly depicted Samuel's vivid fantasy world, and seeing the prominent location mentioned in the story come to life was a surreal experience for readers.

It instantly became a fan favorite as people flocked to own one. It became the number-one bestseller around the globe, breaking several records. Samuel and Thomas were racking in money left and right.

The audition day was around the corner. Amelia flew in a few days ago as she will be representing Samuel. This time George didn't accompany her but stayed behind to work on the movie project.

" I am sorry, but we have to do it," Amelia said apologetically while holding Samuel's hair.

His long silver hair glistened as she ran his fingers through them. It was smooth and silky, but it had to be done.

" It's okay, Aunt. We already discussed it." Samuel was not too attached to it.

" I can't believe I have to cut something so precious. Amelia, you could have told me before so I could have prepared myself." The hairdresser said, blaming her friend.

" Lilly, what are you saying? It's not like it is your hair. I am also on the fence about it, but the casting director wants a specific look."

" But I feel like I am ruining a masterpiece! You will not understand it even if I explained the feeling."

" Quit it! Do it properly, then. Also, use the natural dye for the color."

" Don't tell me what to do. Do you think this is a street parlor? I only took the client that piqued my interest. I am an artist first and foremost."

" Yeah, Yeah. It's not like you charge an exorbitant amount for it. Artist, my ass! Just be upfront about it."

" Mama has kids to feed, remember? now stand back; let me do the magic." Lilly focused and started.

They had to cut a massive chunk of hair and dye it black to give the same look as 'Harry.' Amelia had decided to make Samuel audition for the main protagonist.

She contacted her friend and brought her along for the makeover. Lilly was very famous in the beauty industry. She was often called the Makeover Queen and had many celebrity clients.

Amelia and Lilly met through a mutual acquaintance when Amelia first started her agency. Over the years of working together, they became good friends.

She was initially hesitant, but it was a request from her friend. But when she saw Samuel's photo, she was gobsmacked. She had never seen someone so perfect, which made her lose for words. It fired her inner artistic being, which made her agree to Amelia's proposition.

Amelia was happy with her decision; Samuel needed to achieve the desired look for his audition.

It was a far-fetched idea to cast Samuel as the main character before, but after witnessing his performance and talking to his teachers, she found that he was perfect for the role. It was a night and day difference from the first time she saw him acting.

Samuel was much more in control of his emotions, and his expression was perfect as he would embody the mental state of his characters. Besides, it was a child audition. They have lower barriers and requirements.

Samuel looked like a completely different person after dyeing his hair. Previously he gave a holy feeling, but now he looked more down to earth innocent kid. It was a significant change; some people might only recognize him if they knew it.

" It is not bad. I think this will do." Amelia observed him from top to bottom.

" Wait, I still have to do eyebrows and eyelashes. It looks weird seeing the contrast." Lilly asked. She finished after a few more minutes.

Her meticulous methods made it hard to imagine that something was changing artificially in Samuel's appearance.

" Wouldn't it be a problem when the dye wears off?" Amelia asked. She was satisfied but feared that it would fade after a few days.

" Don't worry. I don't deal with the cheap stuff. I guarantee that it will last two months minimum."

" What after that, then?"

" You have to do it again, obviously."

Lilly explained that it was a harmful procedure with no side effects, which relieved Amelia. It would be bad if it damaged Samuel's hair.

" Ok, I will call you again if we have any problems."

" What? No, I can't fly over the globe to be your stylist. Why don't you hire someone for it?"

They began arguing about it. On the other hand, Samuel observed his new look in the mirror. He was fascinated by the fashion industry he was experiencing for the first time.

He had absorbed knowledge about it and knew its potential. He knew with the injection of the internet into people's lives, this was an industry he could not ignore. His thinking was changing rapidly as he started finding opportunities everywhere; he was becoming and behaving like a businessman more and more.

" Aunt, Remember, we have an appointment. We will be late if we don't leave now." Samuel interrupted their negotiations.

No matter how much Amelia begged, Lilly didn't accept her idea of becoming a traveling stylist. Amelia had to give up and look for alternatives, but first, she had to take Samuel to the venue.

It was Samuel's debut, and She didn't want him to be late because of her. They packed up and rushed toward the designated location.

Harry potter books have been a sensational phenomenon that has taken over the world recently. Author J Rowling recently released her third book in the series, which has been going viral.

Its biggest competition was Samuel's new book, but the market was currently pretty unsaturated.

With such fame, the new movie was announced, creating a lot of hype. They specifically looked for young new child actors to play the part. Being a British-centered story, they preferred someone who originally resided along that region. The United Kingdom and Scotland were the first choices.

The main character, they received more than seventeen thousand applications. Amelia wanted Samuel to audition later because she had complete trust in his capabilities.

By now, they must have seen most of the contestants for the role, and if Samuel made an impactful impression, she was sure he would get the part. The situation inside was completely different as they traveled leisurely to the destination.

It was a dead parade of exhausted people because of the work they had to do.
