Chapter 180
A flight attendant gently pushed the cart into the first-class section of the plane.
This section of the plane had many small rooms that were occupied by people who could afford first-class tickets.
The room was tiny, and at best only one person could use it. Still, in that situation in a plane, to have that kind of privacy was a luxury. In fact, only a few airlines had first-class sections with such private rooms.
"Here's your meal, ma'am."
The flight attendant knocked on the door and informed the woman in one of the rooms.
"Thank you."
Stella Willow opened the room and thanked her.
Actually, this was her dinner. It was still 9 p.m. when she arrived at JFK International Airport to get to the plane.
In a sense, the food she ordered was her dinner.
However, the scenery outside showed that it was already morning. The sun was shining. She looked out the window and all she could see was blue. The blue sky and the blue sea.
A few hours later, she would be landing in Italy.
After leaving her position at NBC, Stella Willow applied for the position of General Manager at Grey Pictures.
She heard that this production studio had made Taken and John Wick. She had seen those movies and could say that she was a fan.
More specifically, she was a fan of Director Grey. As a production manager, Stella Willow realized that Kazir's filmography didn't have any similarities at all, except for the fact that they were made by one person.
His filmmaking style was different in each film.
Almost as if he had a reference and just copied it.
All of his films didn't have the strong artistic style that most directors have. His films were made for the purpose of entertainment. It was amazing that Kazir Grey could control and limit his artistic sense in filming.
First, she was interested in the production studio because Kazir Grey was planning something big.
Second, she knew it would be difficult for her to get a good position in the Big Six.
Third, she could start her own business. Maybe a talent agency or a production studio, but she was not an agent or a director.
'I can be a producer.'
As a producer, she was good at managing people and teams.
Kazir Grey plans to create one big project that will tie all of his action films together. Obviously, his current project, The Bourne Identity, is part of that huge plan.
She was interested to see the result. No, she wanted to see the success of this project. So joining Grey Pictures was a good thing for her.
Before she was officially hired. First she had to meet Kazir Grey. They talked on the phone, but a face-to-face meeting was important.
So the company bought her a first class ticket to Italy.
After eating her breakfast/dinner, Stella Willow realized that the plane was about to land.
The flight attendant smiled and said goodbye to her. Once at the airport, Stella Willow found her contact who would take her to the set of The Bourne Identity.
"Miss Willow?" A young man in his early twenties greeted her. The man held a card with her name on it.
"That's right. What's your name?"
"My name is Palenque Simone. I'm Director Grey's assistant."
Stella Willow nodded as she heard his name. After watching Taken, she became aware the same people might kidnap her after she left the airport.
She knew Palenque Simone would be her contact. That put her mind at ease.
