The water in the bathroom rang for a while, and Eric, who was wiping his body, came out of the bathroom.
The sunlight breaking in through the gaps in the curtains has already shown a somewhat bright feeling. In the early morning of Los Angeles in September, the temperature was just about 22 degrees, which was very suitable. Eric remembered that this was the golden temperature that the human body can tolerate.
Gently found the clothes and put them on, while looking at the girl lying on the bed who was still sleeping soundly, the blanket was scattered aside, the girl's naked body was displayed in front of Eric without reservation. Because of her oriental ancestry, the girl's skeleton looks delicate and small, and her skin is smoother and more tender than that of Western women. The soft back curves all the way down, forming a slender arc on the waist, and then quickly bulges at the buttocks , forming two hills, full of female temptation. The round thighs below are gently joined together, but it is difficult to hide the seductive scenery between them.
Until Eric tied his tie and put on his coat, the girl showed no sign of waking up. Seeing how cute the girl was sleeping with her right thumb in her mouth like a baby, Eric couldn't help getting a little excited again, and gently sat down on the bed , reached out and pulled out the girl's finger in her mouth, and fed her index finger on it.
In an instant, Eric felt that two moist lips were consciously covering his ≤, fingertips, following Eric's gentle penetration, the two rows of small teeth were biting on the fingertips between opening and closing. After a few times, as if he was probing for something, he seemed to feel the difference in this finger, and the little tongue in his mouth began to push up dissatisfiedly, as if he wanted to drive out the strange intruder.
It's a pity that the strength of the girl's little tongue is far less than that of Eric. After some provocative 'pushing', the girl suddenly opened her eyes.
"ah!"
Quickly jumped up and pulled the blanket to cover the carcass, after Gabriel saw Eric's smile clearly. Recalling what happened last night, I breathed a sigh of relief.
"Morning... Good morning, Eric," the girl smiled as if feeling a little sorry for her gaffe, and immediately greeted her.
"Morning," Eric smiled and shook his wet fingertips at the girl, "I never thought you'd be so cute when you're sleeping."
"Ah. I... Do I have one?"
The girl lowered her head in embarrassment. The moment she opened her eyes, she saw the movement of Eric's fingers, so she remembered some scenes from last night.
Eric smiled and nodded, "Of course. This is the first time I've seen a girl who likes to suck her fingers in her sleep."
"I don't even know." The girl still lowered her eyelids and glanced around lightly, as if she was looking for something.
Eric gathered a few pieces of clothes and handed them to the girl understandingly: "It's nothing, in fact, many people don't know that they snore when they sleep. They even refuse to admit it when they wake up."
Gabriel, who was about to secretly put on his panties, raised his head in horror: "I... I didn't snore, did I?"
"Of course not." Eric shook his head quickly: "I'm just giving an example."
"Oh," the girl breathed a sigh of relief.
Seeing the girl put on panties and a vest, and walked to the closet with bare feet, Eric said, "Honey, I think I have to go."
Standing by the closet, Gabriel, who was thinking about what to wear more beautifully today, paused for a while, and turned his head: "Can't you eat breakfast?"
Eric looked at his watch and said: "It's almost 8:30 now, and there may be traffic jams on the road. I don't know if I can arrive at the company at 9:00. Because I will fly to Venice at 2:00 pm, there are some things that need to be dealt with quickly At ten o'clock, there will be a meeting with Robert and Jeffrey, about the merger of Firefly and New Line, and my new movie shooting schedule has also come out, I need to see it for myself... In short, I will go to the next five There are a lot of things to do in more than an hour."
Seeing the girl who twisted her fingers and listened with a disappointed face, Eric's tone softened as he spoke, and he felt a ruthless sense of guilt in his heart, so he waved his hand and said: "This... Is there a breakfast restaurant near here, maybe we can have breakfast together, it's not bad for ten or twenty minutes."
"Of course, can I wash my face first?" The girl raised her face in surprise.
Now that the decision has been made, Eric of course no longer cares about the time: "Let's take a shower by the way, but it's better to hurry up."
"Then you wait!"
The girl excitedly picked out a few clothes, tiptoed into the bathroom, and got out again in less than fifteen minutes. She was already wearing a light blue short skirt with one shoulder and hips, and black stockings. Stretching her legs tight and slender, and pulling her hair into a small bun, she casually picked a high-heeled shoe from the shoe rack next to her and put it on, stood up and said to Eric: "Okay, let's go Well, the restaurant is forty or fifty steps across the street."
…
"Eric, it's almost 9:30, what's going on with you today, your mobile phone is also turned off, don't you know how tight the time is today?" When Eric appeared in the company, Jeff looked anxious. Li asked bluntly.
Facing the anxious old man, Eric explained with some embarrassment: "Sorry, Jeffrey, there is... a traffic jam on the road."
"Impossible. There is no traffic jam from where you live to here. It's not like I don't know the route."
"Actually, I'm from West Hollywood," Eric immediately raised his hands and confessed honestly.
"Eh..." Jeffrey was stunned for a moment, and soon understood something. At the same time, he realized that he was a bit overstepped. Eric was his boss after all. Although he knew that Eric would not mind his harsher tone, he was not Eric's elder after all. He occasionally taught Eric a few words. Ke would not say anything out of respect for him, but after a long time, everyone would feel dissatisfied.
"Okay, there are a few documents that you need to sign. I have asked Alan to sort them out and put them on your desk. You have half an hour to process them. Robert has already rushed over with someone. I Go to the conference room and get ready."
"I'll deal with it now," Eric nodded to Jeffrey, and walked quickly to his office, and Jeffrey immediately went to prepare his own affairs.
Although the merger agreement has been signed, the real merger of the two companies still needs to deal with a lot of problems such as business integration, management organization design, company structure adjustment, personnel integration and abolishment. It is impossible to stop the business of both parties during this period, and there will be a period of parallel operation time.
After processing a few documents in a hurry, the assistant came to knock on the door, and Eric put down the folder in a hurry and walked to the conference room.
In the conference room, besides Robert Shea, there were six or seven middle and high-level managers on the New Line side who attended the meeting, while on the Firefly side, the few clerks in charge of meeting minutes were ignored, only Eric and Jeffrey The comparison between the two of them shows that Firefly's background is very weak.
Although New Line’s profitability is far inferior to that of Firefly, its various businesses are sound, with production, copyright, publicity, and distribution departments all available. If you look at Firefly again, if you don’t look at its terrifying profitability , is actually more like a small workshop, Jeffrey is responsible for the management, and also serves as the producer of Eric's film. Although he is sometimes busy, most of the time he is more than enough to do it alone.
The two-hour meeting actually didn't discuss much. Apart from quickly reaching an agreement on the topic of finding another office space and moving the two companies together as soon as possible, it was a debate about production rights.
Of course, Eric hopes that Robert Shea will let go of this area completely and concentrate on the distribution of films. If the distribution ability becomes stronger, coupled with his vision in films, Firefly can become a film giant in a few years.
But this proposal was directly rejected by Robert Shea, which is also expected. The helm of a film company does not even have the power to produce films. Isn't that a joke
Eric immediately suggested that Robert Shea could be in charge of the production of some low-budget horror movies, after all, this aspect could barely be regarded as his 'strength'.
To Eric's surprise, Robert Shea still refused. Not only was he dissatisfied with the production power of low-budget films in the past, but he also hoped to be able to personally operate several large-scale productions in the future. Because he knows that Firefly will get a lot of cash from Eric's next few films, although Robert Shea didn't dare to play like this when he was in the new line, after all, he lost a big production new line Almost bankrupt, but with the backing of Firefly's funds at this time, Robert Shea's ambitions have swelled. After all, there are not many dark horse movies with low cost and high box office in Hollywood, otherwise Eric's performance would not be so amazing. But in order to obtain stable and high returns, large investment and large production are the kingly way.
Of course, Eric couldn't immediately agree with Robert Shea's idea. Even if Firefly had money, it wasn't like that. And he didn't have any confidence in Robert Shea's vision. Although the new line in the previous life had the great success of the "Lord of the Rings" series, it also had the disastrous failure of "The Golden Compass". Taken together, it seems that Robert Shea has a little bit more luck in film production.
But in the face of Robert Shea's insistence, Eric had to make temporary concessions. After all, what he needs most now is to have the distribution channel in the hands of the other party, so completely integrating the new line is the top priority. The loss of power is inevitable.
In the end, after arguing with Robert Shea, Eric reluctantly agreed that in the next year, the New Line label would be given two big-budget films with a total cost of less than 50 million U.S. dollars, and he would give full rights to Operated by Robert Shea.
After the two-hour meeting, Robert Shea and his team left in satisfaction. Eric continued to look through the documents while eating a simple lunch. He was about to leave for the airport later, and he had to sign the document as soon as possible. Read the last few documents of . (To be continued..)
