After Scarlett became a top celebrity, she lashed out at fans, and had an ambiguous relationship with her male co-star.
I was her secret lover and also her manager, yet I heard her say to others:
"Zoran should be thankful he discovered me."
"Without me, he'd still be slaving away on some assembly line, clueless."
She forgot how I drank myself into stomach bleeding to secure roles for her, forgot her vow to love me for a lifetime.
No matter. If a star won't behave, just replace them with a new one.

Scarlett was also aware of Director Belmont's capabilities and was very much looking forward to this film.


"No problem, but we'll need to sign a contract with a 50-50 split."


Yael's eyes widened, "That's impossible. Companies and artists usually have a 70-30 split. Scarlett is so popular, by convention it should be 80-20, and considering your past relationship..."


I raised my hand to stop her. "We're no longer in a company-artist relationship, and let's not mention personal history. This is the standard ratio for collaborations with outside companies in the industry. Is there an issue?"


"If you can't make the decision, go ask Scarlett."


She couldn't possibly want everything, could she?


I found a good new partner, and she still wants to take the lion's share from me. In the past, due to our personal connection, I tolerated everything from Scarlett. Now, I have no feelings for her whatsoever.
