The huge event that left so many people exhausted came to an end. An end that could lead to one of the biggest beginnings. 

“It went well. The media is still talking about it and how many famous people have literally blabbed about the whole event on every social media platform,” One of the employees who were in the backstage crew was talking to her colleague while walking inside the studio building. 

“Yeah, and the articles… Mr. Renner is truly someone who could just swirl the entire Hollywood if he wants.”

“Uh, I doubt it. I mean, it is really mysterious how he just produced so many movies and with them being his own ideas…. Don’t you think what I think?” The third person in their group said with knitted brows.

“Hmm… Who are we to question though? Some people are blessed with creativity. And some people are blessed with luck. We are blessed with a good job.”

“Can’t agree more.”

The three of them kept walking and talking about how the studio had a constant growth ever since Ian took over.

One of them being newly recruited, the information kept getting interesting and interesting.

“So, what you’re saying is that Ian slept with actresses he gave roles to? I thought dude is a total gentleman?” The newbie among the three of them asked as they walked their way through to the escalator. 

“Ah, well. It’s kinda different-”

“He is a gentleman. But, who can blame him? If I was him, I’d have banged way more chicks than  he did.”

“If anyone hears you say this, you’d be out of the company in the next second!”

“What… Is Ian strict?”

“It’s not Ian. It’s the company policies. We haven’t had proper interaction with him considering he is always busy, with one thing or another. But yeah, talking like that when you're here is not something I appreciate.”

“True that. But what about Scarlett? Mr. Renner literally joined the premiere with her as his date. So-”

“Shh…” The tallest among the group shushed as he saw Ian Renner walking down the corridor to reach the elevator. 

“Good morning Mr. Renner!”

“Good morning, sir!”

“Good morning, how are you guys doing? Still tired from yesterday?” Ian asked as they all waited for the elevator to come down.

“Ah, yes. The event went well, didn’t it? Almost the entire world is talking about it. Very successful, truly enjoyed.”

“What is your name?” Ian asked as he noticed the girl who was among the two men.

“Ruby, Ruby Keller.” The lady with dark hair answered by adjusting her spectacles. “I-I’m kind of new here sir, I joined the event managing team last week, and it- it’s truly a pleasure to see you.”

“Ah, are you interested in acting?” Ian asked right away.

The two men gasped in shock. Ian kept his gaze on the girl, while she looked taken back too. 

“I- what?” She asked back.

“I didn’t mean to take you by surprise. But, I think I have the perfect role for your looks. Of course, we’ll audition and if you’re truly passionate about acting, maybe you have a chance in the industry,” Ian said with a smile.

The entire interaction was spontaneous and it confused all three employees. 

Ian noticed the expressions and was simply amused by them. When he first saw the lady with the two men, he noticed how she looked like the character of Amanda Rovner, the babysitter in Marriage Story.

It was not like she looked exactly like her, but the hair and glasses were something similar to what he had in mind for her character.

“I think I’m interested. With whom should I meet up, and when?” The girl asked with an excited smile.

That was an opportunity that no one would miss. Imagine the director who just walked next to you in the morning and asked, ‘hey do you wanna act?’

“Great, I’ll let you know. Give your details to Murphy, my assistant within today, if possible.” Ian said while she nodded.

*Ding!*

The elevator came down and the four of them walked in. The men were completely silent about what happened.

“Mr. Renner, I’m interested in acting too. I wanted to work in the studio thinking I might get an opportunity one day. Uh, heck, I even auditioned for roles for two or three years. Can I get a chance? Please?” The tallest man broke his cover and revealed. 

Ian smiled at this. 

This was not the first time he got this sort of request. Every other day, one of ten people straightaway asked the same question to Ian whenever they get to meet him in person.

Another reason why Ian walked in the quick exit was when the main floors looked quite busy.

“You can audition for some future projects I have in mind. Contact Murphy,”

“Thank you! Thank you!”

And the rest of the elevator ride was silent and complicated.
