" What's this about?" Samuel sat down with them still glaring at them. By now, he knew Noah wasn't chasing after Nicole or Kate, he was trying to get closer to Samuel because of his friend who was sitting alongside him trying hard not to face Samuel.
Kate, Adele and Nicole were also curious about the stranger, he seemed to have a backstory to him. The man seemed few year older than Noah, probably in his early thirties and from the clothes he was wearing, he seemed to be doing fine.
With a balding head and a sleek spectacle, his background seemed to be related to academics at least that's what Samuel concurred while looking at him.
" I am really sorry to intrude on you so frequently-"
" It's not me who feel uncomfortable. I already warned you that it's shameful to target my people when they clearly are not interested in you."
" Eh?"
" Hmm?" Both parties looked blankly at each other. There seemed to be a huge misunderstanding. Noah immediately understood why Samuel was being so defensive about it.
" I have a wife and a daughter! Please don't assume such things about me!" He even slammed the table while exclaiming his innocence. Samuel already guessed it but he wanted to make sure, just in case.
" Fine, I believe you. Why do you came to see me then?"
For months, Neil went around different studios trying to get someone to look into his script but to no avail. His nemesis seemed to have tentacles in every studio putting strange rumours about him ahead of time.
Ultimately the only offer he got was that many people were willing to buy the script outright without giving him much credit, what's more it was for dirt cheap price. He also heard the BBC began to develop their own version of the series changing things around a little to avoid the copyright issue.
Even if he was sure that their script wouldn't be as good as him, if they released it first theirs would become the parent from where he took inspiration from. The public would surely gobble it up because BBC was a large conglomerate with limitless resource.
His life's work would be ruined, nothing better than a superior imitation of a lousy BBC show! He didn't want it to happen.
In this troubled times, he went to only one place where he could find some solace: The church. Even if he wasn't religious, at least with some faith he still had some hope that everything would turn out for the better.
Noah was someone that he met during coincidently on his church visit. His family lived in this town and it being the only church, they would see each other often. He finally opened up to Noah few months ago, at least with him he wouldn't feel the need to always keep his guard up.
Seeing how depressed and helpless Neil was, Noah offered few words of advice and listened to his grumblings which flourished their friendship.
It was a surprise when Noah came to him yesterday to inform him about Samuel's appearance in their quaint town. For Neil it was a sign from God. He immediately asked for his friends help, that's reason why they were sitting in front of Samuel.
" I understand your circumstances. But why asked for my help? I am only an actor albeit famous but still an actor." Samuel wanted to now why they would seek him out specifically.
