In a matter of minutes, Rebecca faxed the document to Haggai. Haggai read it very carefully and then called her back.
Rebecca answered the phone fast. “Hello, cupcake!”
“You should definitely sign. Even though these people are independent filmmakers, they are multimillionaires, and they want you to be in the movie so badly that they will give you anything you want.”
“I read it and I liked it but I thought I would consult with you first.” “I‘m going to sign my contract, too.”
“Should I call these people back and ask them if they could fax your contract to you?” “Yes, please.”
“Their number is on the caller ID so I‘m going to call them.” “Tell them to fax the contract to me here.”
“Ok,” Rebecca said and hung up. Then, she dialed Trent‘s home number.
Trent‘s secretary answered the phone. “Goodman Productions, this is Olivia. How may I help you?”

“Rebecca…”
“Go to hell!”
“Don‘t you know that making a movie with your husband as your costar is bad luck?” Rebecca hung up on Trent.
Saddened, Trent said, talking to himself, “I couldn‘t tell her that I can‘t include Haggai on any of my projects because he‘s an Emadorian.”
Rebecca called Haggai. Haggai already knew what had happened, and he‘d already contacted Robinson to do the film with his producers. In addition to that, Rebecca had a different character on Robert‘s new movie named Naomi Pollard. Meanwhile, Goodman Productions had emailed the video of the ending of the movie to Carlos and Jose just in case they needed to delete the video and Trent told them to find another company to produce the movie with.
Rebecca was crying while talking on the phone with Haggai. “Haggai, you won‘t believe this! Trent Goodman rejected you because of who you are, and…”
