"Hey, baby, how about we go to a movie tonight as a family." Jared put down the newspaper in his hand, smiled and said to Angela who was having breakfast. He changed his pajamas before breakfast today.
The little girl just took a bite of the French bun, and seemed to choked when she heard her father's words. She frowned and took a lot of effort to swallow, and then quickly regained her calm and said, "No, Dad, no need."
"Really? This is a rare opportunity." Jared sipped his coffee and said calmly.
Angela bit the spoon, stared at her father, and then said with a bit of gritted teeth, "No, Dad, I'm serious."
"Why?" Father shrugged in confusion.
"Why why?" Elena walked over and sat down at this time, just in time to hear this sentence.
Jared didn't answer directly, but asked something insignificant: "Dear, are you free today?"
"I just need to send the design of the necklace to the company, what's wrong?" Although she didn't understand why her husband asked this question, Elena still answered truthfully.
"Let's go to a movie tonight, just the two of us. I asked Chris, she won't go." Jared smiled still.
Hearing the word "movie", Elena already understood what was going on, a meaningful smile appeared on her face, and the little girl exclaimed angrily, "Dad!"
"Okay, okay, let's hear it now," Jared said, picking up the newspaper and reading: "… Obviously, Nancy Meyers and Charles Schuyer want to give the children Summer is a perfect ending, but unfortunately, the whole movie didn't have the effect they wanted, the story is too thin, Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts' opposite scene in the bar is the only bright spot, as for the points Angela Mason, who plays the two corners, is only cute."
After reading it, he flipped through the first page of the newspaper: "Well, this is from The Washington Post, then let's look at other newspapers."
Having said that, he took the "Los Angeles Times" and turned to the entertainment page. After finding the film review, he read: "... Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts staged the scene of two daughters fighting for husband, although Julia won in the scene, But off-screen, Dennis Quaid is still by Meg's side, but the two ladies are still going the way of the silly big sister, which is too conservative, but the opposite scene in the bar is very interesting. As a newcomer, Miss Angela Mason, No. 1 It's a bit too harsh to play two roles in one appearance on the big screen, and the performance is remarkable, but her British accent is really lame."
"Crap? Maybe the gentleman who wrote the film review has never been to England." Elena raised her eyebrows.
"Don't worry, honey, there are others, let me read them first." Jared waved and picked up another newspaper, which looked like The New York Times.
The little girl had to stand up and said as if begging for mercy: "Okay, Dad, can you stop reading."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you would like it. Since you don't want to go to the premiere and don't want to go to the cinema, you can always listen to the movie reviews." Father smiled and shrugged.
"I'll go at night, it should be fine." Angela's gnashing of teeth became more and more obvious.
"Okay, then it's settled." Jared drank the coffee, reached out and touched the little guy's head, ignoring her murderous eyes, kissed his wife goodbye and went out.
At the door, the driver, David Dick, had already driven the car and waited for him, as usual, except that after he got in the car, David looked at him in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Mr. Mason, you My daughter is very cute."
Jared was stunned for a while, and politely replied thank you, but did not take it to heart. But when he came to the company, he soon realized that something was wrong. Whenever he walked by, the employees would whisper behind him for a while. Although he rarely reprimanded his employees, he still disliked this kind of behavior. .
After entering her office, Miss Daisy, the secretary, quickly sent over the classified documents, but when she went out, she smiled at him like David and said, "Mr. Mason, your daughter is very cute."
"Oh? Thank you." Jared was stunned for a second. Thinking of just now, he finally understood what was going on. However, did the company's employees go to the movies together last night
If the little girl is here, she will definitely know that it is the so-called office gossip culture. Only if a certain person has any gossip or the like, other people in the office will know at the first time. These rumors are sometimes more than light. Soon.
But Jared doesn't understand this, so he can only be very depressed and don't think about it, maybe it's because he made fun of the little guy in the morning to get such trouble? Hey, I'm not making fun of her! I'm helping her face her own work!
Just when he was thinking about it, the phone on the table rang, followed by Daisy's voice: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Albert is on Line 3."
Brian? Why is he calling me at this time? Is it because of Chrissy's movie? Jared knocked on the table, and finally picked up the phone: "Get it from me, Daisy."
The phone was connected quickly, but before he could speak, a somewhat noisy voice came from there: "Jedie, what the hell is going on! Am I the last one to know! I'm a little boy. Godfather of the guy!"
"Okay, okay, Bly, can you be quiet and talk slowly, my ears are going deaf." Jared almost threw the microphone in his hand.
"Okay, then tell me, what's going on?" Brian over there calmed down and said in a slow tone.
"Understood, but, is there any good news to hear?"
"what?"
"From the time of your call, you are definitely not the last to get the news."
"…Well, well, I get it, I'm definitely going to sit back and watch after your family has taken the storm."
"You guy." Jared scolded with a smile, and then briefly said what Angela had done during this time.
"In other words, the little guy played the role of the script he wrote?" Brian exclaimed strangely, "Well, I knew my goddaughter was not simple, she was a genius, and I honestly think her performance is really good. Excellent."
"Really? I haven't seen it yet." Jared shrugged over the phone.
"What, yesterday was the premiere, should Chris be attending?"
"Chrissy obviously has no confidence in her work. Not only did she turn down the invitation to Disney's premiere, but she also didn't want us to go." Jared said helplessly.
At this moment, the phone on the table rang again: "Mr. Mason, Miss Ruth is on line 4, do you want her to wait?"
Jared smiled wryly, and hurriedly said into the microphone, "Okay, Bly, Ruth's call is coming. It's probably the same problem, so I have to say goodbye to you for the time being."
"Say hello to Ruth for me, and Erin and the little guy don't have to, because I'll be coming to LA soon."
"I hope we won't be at home when you come." Jared said, pressed the end button, and then said, "Daisy, put in Ruth's phone."
Soon, a brisk female voice entered my ears: "Jedie, are you there?"
"Yes, I'm here, Ruth, isn't it because of Chrissy's movie?" Jared asked with a wry smile.
After hesitating for a while, he said, "Why, Dad has already called?"
"It's Brian, not my stubborn father." Speaking of his father, Jared's tone unconsciously brought a bit of laziness.
"Jedie!" Ruth added.
"Come on, Ruth, you know, Dad and I haven't been like this for a day or two." Jared scratched his head, "It seems you're asking about Chrissy."
"Okay, so what's up with the little guy?"
Just when Jared was about to answer, the phone rang again: "Mr. Mason, your father is on line 5, would you please wait a moment?"
What are you talking about, Jared patted his forehead, and then said into the microphone: "Okay, my dear sister, Dad is calling, what do you want to know, you can call Erin or Bly's. ."
"I see, but don't quarrel with Dad."
"Okay, don't compare me to a child." Jared shook his head and pressed the end button again, then took a deep breath and said into the microphone, "Daisy, take my father's call."
Two or three seconds later, a slightly hoarse old voice came from the microphone: "Jedie, you are very remiss."
"Really? Because of letting Chris go to the movie?" Jared took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.
"Yeah, I don't know what you're thinking, but is there any irresistible reason for a kid to make a movie?! Or have you been in LA so long that you don't care about kids?!" The old man's tone gradually faded become severe.
"Okay, Dad, Chris made her own choice from start to finish. We just respect her choice."
"But you are her guardian, and you have to do more than respect!"
"Then what do you want me to do? Tie her up? Don't forget what a commotion she caused when she ran away from home in London when she was four years old!"
"That's still your dereliction of duty."
Hell, would you say something like this, Jared was a little annoyed, and his tone became cold: "Okay, Mr. Kleist, I still have things to do, this morning is all about Angela's phone calls, it's serious It affects my work, so if you have any problems you can come to California, or wait until we come to New York for Christmas, and that's it."
After speaking, he hung up the phone with a click, and after taking a deep breath on the chair, only to realize that he had been talking to his father for a long time, but he didn't get to the point at all, which was really inexplicable.
Jared smiled wryly, and the phone rang again: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Clifford is on line 3, do you want him to wait?"
Well, well, today became the little guy's press conference, or was it really because I made fun of her? Heck!
