Chapter 13: Well Fuck Me

Henry immediately went to catch the person falling out of reflex

"oooh," grunted the person

Henry helped the man get back up

"Are you alright, sir?" asked a concerned Henry

When he saw who fell, his eyes widened just a little, and his heart started beating a thousand miles a minute

"Ooh, thank you, I'm fine, it's just when you start getting old, the body needs more oil," a thick Sicilian accent came out of the old man who just fell

"Thank you," the old man said as he walked away

Henry started breathing in and out for a few seconds to calm himself down, and then he immediately whipped his head around to try and find Jeff

It only took him a few seconds to spot Jeff, and he started to walk toward him slowly

But Henry immediately stopped; he then thought to himself, 'Henry let's calm down why are we going? this is childish' he then proceeded to walk toward a table full of drinks

Before Henry came to New York, for almost two years he spent almost all of his waking days designing and envisioning his dream watch movement, the most complicated and most accurate mechanical watch the world will ever see, a dream he pursued until he burned out and started to take a break and discovered acting, because of this his etiquette and his discipline has diminished greatly

As Henry was picking up a drink, he was suddenly interrupted by a voice

"You're so lucky you got to touch Al Pacino, the AL PACINO" When looked toward the owner of the voice

It was a young-looking man in a casual outfit, but that wasn't what Henry first thought

'Andrew Garfield'

"I know that was so exhilarating. I almost screamed out his name" The two laughed and continued chatting for about half an hour until they were both interrupted by Jeff

"Excuse me, can I borrow him for a moment," Jeff said in a polite manner

"Of course, my agent gesturing me anyway; nice talking to you, Henry" Andrew said as he shook Henry's hands and then walked away

"What is it," Henry asked

"I'll be introducing you to some people, producers, agents, etc., and by the way, be polite but don't be a fucking suck-up; we don't want you to seem desperate; people at their level are tired of desperate people, except of course when there is an exchange of sorts." Jeff said the last part with a You know what I mean look

"Capcise?" Jeff asked

"Capcise," Henry replied

The duo walked towards a group of suits and continued to talk with them throughout the night

Time Skip: Few Hours

After a few hours, the two walked out and hopped on Jeff's company-issued car

Jeff sat down and sighed as he loosened his tie

"Exhausting, right" Jeff said with knowing smile

"Yeah, Bloody hell, there was so much sucking up to do," Henry said with a chuckle as he melted on top of his seat

"Well, we're still not done for today; unfortunately, UH," Jeff said as he rubbed his face and grunted; he then proceeded to take out a bunch of manuscripts and handed it to Henry

"So read some of them when you have the time, and get back to me in a week or so," Jeff said

"Yes sirrr" Henry said with a bit of childishness

They got to the hotel he was staying for the next few days until he got an apartment

Henry threw the scripts on his bed and then went to shower

As he dried his hair, he looked at the scripts that he was given

"17 Again as Mike O'Donnell , Modern Family as Dylan Marshall, Brothers as Tommy Cahill, Zombieland as Columbus, The Twilight Saga: New Moon as Caius, well fuck me" Henry said in the last part in amazement

Henry watched a lot of movies and some tv shows in his past life and is familiar with all the scripts in his hands, and he knows all of them are successful except for Brothers and well received except for Twilight

'Jeff's a monster' He thought in amazement
