"I didn't expect you to come to see me as soon as the news came out. It's really surprising." Although Nicole was smiling, her eyes were red, but facing two people with red eyes in a day made Angela quite a bit surprised. Weird feeling.
"I'm just a little worried about you, after all, the emotional blow is very painful." Angela said softly.
"It's okay, after all, the saddest time is over." Nicole shook her head but closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "It was a week full of quarrels, anger and hysteria, but fortunately we were all in front of everyone. cover it all up."
She said with a sad look: "I thought that no matter how much we argued, we would be able to understand and reconcile with each other as before, but this time we finally came to an end."
"To be honest, I'm really surprised. After all, you have lived together for 8 years and you have known each other for a longer time. Although I have seen some signs before, I didn't expect it to be so fast," Angela followed with a gesture. As her topic continued, her surprise was real, because it was still 1998, "It's really a pity, but since you have decided to divorce, I don't have much to say, I just hope you can tell me Look ahead."
"Of course, but not now," Nicole shook her head with a wry smile. "Now that the media know we're separated, it's conceivable that they'll do whatever they can to find out, no matter what I or... Tom say they won't. Care, only write what they want to write, and it won't be completely over even after we sign the divorce settlement."
"Okay, Nicole, aren't reporters always like this? Don't worry about them." Angela said comfortingly, although she also wanted to know why the two of them divorced, but look at the current situation It's still the case.
"Your coffee." Naomi came over with a coffee cup at this time, then sat down beside Nicole, and naturally comforted her by resting on her shoulder: "Don't think about it too much, Nicole, just As Angie said, reporters have always been like that, don't you see it? Don't go anywhere, like doing fitness at home during this time, just leave it to your public relations outside to handle it, Let's wait until everything calms down."
Angela glanced at Naomi, took a sip of coffee, and continued: "I agree with Naomio, I saw some tabloids early in the morning saying that you divorced because you and Tom are gay. It's ridiculous."
"It was a few years ago, and even some people have been waiting to see us divorce since the day we got married, and now their goal has been achieved." Nicole snorted softly, but then her face turned gloomy and uncomfortable.
Angela, who had a panoramic view, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said in a casual tone: "It's not a big deal if you really can't have sex with a homosexual. Maybe the same sex knows the same sex better than the opposite sex, but that's not necessarily true."
Seeing that both Nicole and Naomi looked at themselves with a strange look, Angela, who knew the trial and error, hurriedly called haha: "Okay, I'm joking—by the way, Nami, when did you come to Nicole? ?"
She was quite familiar with changing the subject, but Naomi hesitated for a while before opening her mouth: "Actually, I-I've been living here for more than half a month."
"Have you lived here all the time?" Angela was puzzled, "I don't remember you living in an apartment rented on Levers Street?"
"As a matter of fact... I was kicked out by the landlord two weeks ago because I couldn't pay the rent," Naomi sighed, and she simply let go because the words had already been said, "If it wasn't for Nicole to take me in , maybe I'll just have to go to a motel or even to the shelter provided by the relief."
"How could this be?" Angela couldn't help frowning, "I remember that you have already won the heroine of "50 First Loves" and are about to start the movie? Why don't you tell me, I can let you pay in advance in advance ."
"Thank you, but..." Naomi shrugged and didn't continue speaking, but Nicole took over: "She's like this, otherwise she wouldn't come to Hollywood alone, if I hadn't hoped she could be here with her Stay with me, if she hadn't seen my situation during this time, Nami would never have lived here."
Speaking of which, Nicole also put her arms around Naomi's shoulders and patted her hand gratefully: "Thank you for your company during this time, Nami."
"It's nice to help you share something." Naomi smiled and held Nicole's hand.
Angela, who watched all this, coughed dryly, and then stood up: "Your relationship is really good, then I won't disturb you to go first, Nicole, remember to keep a happy mood, some things will pass eventually of."
Angela breathed a sigh of relief after coming out of Nicole's villa. The reason why she first came to visit Nicole after seeing the news of the separation was because she wanted to know what happened. After all, the two divorced several years earlier. . Although she still doesn't know the specific situation, it doesn't seem like a big deal. It's just that Nicole seems unnatural on a certain topic, is Tom Cruise really gay
Angela shook her head and didn't think about it. She didn't have any bad feelings or good feelings for Tom Cruise, and the previous curse was just a joke. As Nicole's friend, she had already expressed her concern, and the rest was left to Naomi. Bar.
Britney and Christina were fine for the next few days—they held a special press conference, arranged by the record company, to affirm that this kind of quarrel was normal and that it was the kind of quarrel that made them As their relationship deepened step by step, they have reached today's tacit understanding. Therefore, those who say they want to dissolve are defamation and reserve the right to sue. In addition, the separation of Nicole and Tom currently occupies the headlines, so they have successfully recovered their image.
But Angela still has something to worry about. Both Kate and Jessica have already expressed their understanding of her decision, but Lindsay is a little reluctant, expressing her dissatisfaction in various ways: tears, grievances , anger, etc. Unfortunately, although her acting talent is very high, she can't hide it from Angela's eyes.
"You said you wanted to instruct me to learn musical instruments, don't you just teach me like that?" Lindsay could only say in such a dejected manner after all the tricks were ineffective. It could be seen that she was really sad.
"Then what do I want from me? Don't go to Harvard to Stanford?" Angela pinched her cheek and said jokingly, and after the little guy made a dissatisfied face, she put away her smile and continued: "I remember you were very strong. , Lindsay, you're an upbeat girl even when we didn't know each other, are you down and down when I'm gone? Who's going to protect your sister? Don't worry dear, even if you go to the east coast We can still keep in touch, and it's not like I'm not coming back, and don't forget that there is an agreement between us."
Lindsay is not more difficult to coax than Willie, Ike, and Lulu, so Angela is most troubled by the post-production of "Never Compromise", although I believe that Steven Soderbergh's level - she I took time to go to the film department. Although only a small part has been edited so far, Julia's performance is still very tense, and Soderbergh at work is really unusual. In a hurry, if you are a little distracted, you may not understand. Thinking about it, this guy was called a genius at the beginning, and he made movies in the style of "Kafka" and "Sexual Lie Video". If he hadn't planned this time If changes are made, it is difficult to say whether he will be the director of "Never Compromise".
But the problem is that Angela doesn't want to give up the final editing rights. She doesn't want the film to go wrong, but at the same time she promised Soderbergh that if he wants to change some scenes, he will persuade him first, so how to communicate is not troublesome. Even if the company will set up a temporary studio in Boston, can Soderbergh really follow
After several discussions, the final solution was: each part of the edit was sent to Boston for Angela to review, and then she communicated with Soderbergh via the Internet or videophone.
And then no matter what else Angela has to do—she still wants to take time to apologize to Paris—she has to leave. You can ask someone to help you with the freshman registration, but can you still ask someone to help you with the enrollment? So Angela boarded the Sky at Los Angeles International Airport with her mother and finally started her college life.
After Harvard, there is the United States. This sentence simply summarizes the history of Harvard University. Although it does not always occupy the first place in the world university rankings, it takes the top spot with Princeton, Columbia and other universities at any time, but In the eyes of many Americans, Harvard is the number one university in the world.
But Harvard University is also worthy of this title. The long list of famous names who graduated from here is enough to amaze many people, not to mention that there are many successful people who dropped out of school here, such as Gates. .
"Ah sneeze!" Angela couldn't help sneezing. She came from the hot California to the relatively warm Massachusetts. Although the difference in temperature is not too big because it has just entered the autumn, it can easily lead to life if you don't pay attention. sick.
The buildings in the vast university town are scattered in various patterns, including buildings with spires and Gothic style more than a hundred years ago, as well as high-rise buildings with modern lines. The tree-lined roads are full of professors or students, and Many people sat under the distinctive sculptures and read books. All skin tones and faces could see a small United Nations. Although it was not the first time to come here, the beautiful scenery still made Angela happy.
"Miss, I think we'd better go to the dormitory and put our luggage in." Bucket whispered behind him.
"Ah? Oh, of course." Looking around, Angela lowered her hat. Although she was very low-key and wore a wig when she entered the school, the two bodyguards behind her were enough to attract the attention of many people. Fortunately, no one has recognized her so far, otherwise she might be watched again.
Many people don't understand why she chose Harvard, because according to Angela's situation, the Los Angeles Film School is the most likely place for her to go. After all, she has made three films as a director, and they are all excellent. In addition, Stanford may be her second choice. The reason why Angela can create an unbreakable record for the youngest billionaire is closely related to the development of Silicon Valley and the IT industry. Apple, which she invested in last year, has already Start to rise again.
In short, no matter which college you go to, they will not turn down a student who can win the AP National Scholar Award, not to mention the student has so many achievements. But no one expected Angela to choose Harvard in the end, and it is said that she only applied for admission to Harvard, that is to say, she only went to Harvard and did not consider anything else. This is making it hard for many people to figure out that she doesn't want to work in the entertainment industry, but she is still directing movies during the summer vacation; she said that she may have to study business and finance for family reasons, but she made it clear on her blog that she wanted to Study literature and art here.
"I like reading and I like literature, so I chose the best university in the United States." Angela explained in her blog, of course, only she herself knows that going to Harvard has nothing to do with art or anything, she is just for that promise .
"This is your dormitory for the next four years. It may not be as comfortable and convenient as your home, but I believe you will like it after a long time, right?" The administrator is a thin middle-aged woman. About 5'9" is about the same height as Angela, so it makes her look a bit like a bamboo pole, but she's kind and a little nagging.
"Thank you, Ms. Bramall, I think I'll like it." Angela nodded with a smile.
"To be honest, there are many children of rich families who come to Harvard, but your first impression is the best." Ms. Bramall rang the doorbell.
"Are they all domineering?" Angela asked jokingly.
"Domineering? Of course not, dear, this is Harvard." Bramall laughed, "Although there are a few proud, most of them are polite, but most of these politeness are used to maintain Distance, but you give people a very friendly and lively feeling."
Kind and lively? Angela's mouth twitched and did not speak. The door of the room was also opened at this time, and a girl with long brown hair appeared behind the door sleepily: "Theresa? What's wrong?"
"Stay up late last night, Benita?" Bramall shook his head. "How many times have I told you that this is not good for your health."
"Okay, Theresa, you didn't knock on my door to say this, right?" Although the girl named Benita rolled her eyes, the smile on her face after she woke up has not disappeared.
"If you continue like this, there will be more than a little freckles on your face." Bramall said unceremoniously.
Benita screamed and covered her face, looking at Bramall angrily: "You curse me like that!"
"You will know after the curse. Let's get out of the way now. Don't block the door like a mountain." Ms. Bramall waved her hand as if she was saying something trivial, and Angela couldn't help but snort. Laughed, these two are really funny.
"This is the new student who is going to live in today?" Benita noticed Angela's existence at this time, looked up and down and stretched out her hand: "Hello, I'm Benita Elton, 21 years old. , 3rd year medical student, nice to meet you."
"I'm Angela Mason, a freshman at Radcliffe College. I'm 18 years old. It's a pleasure to meet you." Angela shook hands with her. Although she had only been in contact for a few minutes, she already liked this carefree girl. Benita isn't pretty but she's good looking, and although there are a few freckles on her face, it just makes her look cute.
"Please come in first." Benita took a few steps inside, then seemed to think something, turned her head and looked at the two bodyguards who followed Angela, and finally opened her mouth to call out.
Angela hurriedly put her finger on her lips in a "shhh" motion, and after Benita closed her mouth, she took off her hat and wig, shook her waterfall-like blond hair and shrugged: " I'm sorry, but I just want to keep a low profile - at least when I'm going to school today."
Benita nodded understandingly, then involuntarily raised her hands to gesture towards her head.
"What's wrong?" Angela touched her head inexplicably.
"Ah! I'm so sorry," Benita blushed when she realized what she was doing, "I didn't mean to offend you, I just... always thought that geniuses should have slightly bigger heads than ordinary people."
Angela couldn't help crying and laughing: "I remember you said that you are a medical student, and Einstein's head is not necessarily much bigger than ordinary people, and there are many people in the world whose heads are disproportionate to their bodies, and they are not seen. All are geniuses."
"Oh, I'm in dental school." Benita smiled and stuck out her tongue. "Okay okay, I apologize again."
"Okay, ladies, would you please come into the drawing-room and talk?" Ms. Bramall had to interrupt their conversation.
The two girls both laughed and walked inside together. The room was not very big, it was a two-bedroom, one-bedroom layout. It was a bit like the one where Chandler and Joey lived in "Friends", and it was even smaller. As the Chinese saying goes, although the sparrow is small and complete, the living room and bathroom, or the balcony and the two bedrooms are all bright and tidy. It can be seen that Benita is very good at cleaning the room.
Although the space is much smaller than the one at home, and the various utensils are a lot rougher, Angela still finds it very novel, and it feels a bit like she was finally released after being locked up for 18 years.
"This is the room key. You will live together in the future. I hope you can get along in harmony." Ms. Bramall handed the silver key to Angela. "Is there anything else I can help with? For example—"
She pointed to the bedroom that had been vacated.
"Thank you, no, I can do it myself." Angela declined her kindness, and then motioned the two bodyguards to put down the luggage and go to the car outside to fetch the rest.
"Then do you want me to help?" Benita asked curiously, looking at Angela who was starting to unpack her luggage.
"No need, I'm not a spoiled lady, Bernie." Angela raised her head and smiled.
