Taking advantage of the pause between the two, Catherine Zeta-Jones said at the right time: "Are you talking about that "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" again?"
Eric glanced at the woman and replied, "Yes, Catherine, are you also interested in this movie?"
"Of course," Catherine Zeta-Jones said, "This is a film you wrote yourself. I watched most of your films when I was in England. My favorite is "Small Island Cry". The setup and the reversal at the end are incredible."
"Thank you for your appreciation, Catherine. A beautiful lady like you must be an actress, right?"
Catherine nodded: "I'm about to play a role in the ABC TV series "Young Indiana Jones" soon."
"It's just a TV series. I think you're more suitable for acting in a movie. Oh, of course, I don't need to worry about it," Eric said with a smile. He raised his glass to Qiang Peters and left.
"Let's go, honey," said Jon Peters, wrapping his arms around the waist of the woman beside him.
Catherine Zeta-Jones followed Jon Peters to a corner of the reception with what Eric said just now in her mind.
"Baby, I want to talk to ↑ one thing," Jon Peters sat down on a sofa with the girl, held up the other's tender little hand and said.
Catherine Zeta-Jones made a look of listening, but there was a bad feeling in her heart.
"It's like this. I divorced her recently, so I think." Jon Peter paused. Quickly made up his mind and continued: "I mean. My dear, will you marry me?"
Although Zeta Jones was prepared in her heart, she was still a little confused when she heard this sentence. The reason why she agreed to associate with this Hollywood producer was entirely for the sake of the other party's power in Hollywood. Not to mention that the man next to him is more than 20 years older than himself, and Jon Peters is also very violent and arrogant. The relationship between the two is basically the result of Zeta Jones' pretense.
Therefore, Zeta Jones has never had the idea of marrying the other party from the beginning to the end. She planned to date the other party for a few years. After gaining a firm foothold in Hollywood, she broke up with the other party logically. Unexpectedly, Qiang Peters would suddenly propose to herself .
Moreover, Zeta Jones remembered that Jon Peters said that he hoped that his wife could be a full-time housewife after marriage, which was absolutely unbearable for her, and she was only in her early twenties. In any case, it is impossible to agree to marry a man who is more than 20 years older than himself and be a full-time housewife.
"Catherine, are you listening to me?" Jon Peters saw the obvious shock and hesitation on Zeta Jones' face. He slightly raised his voice in displeasure.
"Sorry, Qiang, I just, I have never thought about it," Zeta Jones shook his head lightly in a panic: "Can you give me some time to think about it?"
"Do you still need to consider this? Marry me, and I will let you live a rich and decent life. From now on, you don't even need to act in public. I can support you," Jon Peters said confidently. Or self righteous.
Zeta-Jones avoided the gaze of Jon Peters, inadvertently caught a glimpse of Eric not far away, and immediately understood in his heart that the man must have stimulated Jon Peters intentionally or unintentionally just now, so that this guy made this move. About proposing at a party.
The girl who was in a dilemma cursed an asshole bitterly in her heart, and faced Jon Peters' aggressive gaze, but didn't know how to deal with it.
She knows that as long as she refuses now, the possibility of the man in front of her immediately turning his face is extremely high, and if she agrees, it is even more impossible.
Although Jon Peters has various character flaws and mediocre talents, he is not a fool. Looking at Zeta Jones' hesitant appearance, he gradually understood something, and his face became gloomy: "I think, " Young Indiana Jones, you better not play, I will let Michael find another actress for the role of Maya."
Zeta Jones said uneasily: "Qiang, I didn't mean that, I..."
"Needless to say," Jon Peters stood up and looked coldly at the woman on the sofa: "Ms. Zeta Jones, I hate people playing tricks on me the most. You think you can treat me as someone who can climb up in Hollywood?" Stepping stone, kicked away afterwards, do you think there is such a good thing in the world?"
Zeta Jones wanted to refute, so she opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say. The man in front of her had fallen into a paranoid thought, and she knew that it was useless to say anything else.
Jon Peters put aside the goblet he was still holding in his hand, straightened his sleeves, and looked at the woman sitting on the sofa with pity: "Hollywood doesn't just have a pretty face to get ahead. , So, I think, tomorrow you should clean up your mind and go back to England."
Zeta-Jones felt a little hopeless. When Jon Peters said that, he had completely turned his face. Even if she continued to stay in Hollywood, she would be blocked by Jon Peters. The other party was the president of the seven major film companies who wanted to stop her It was all too easy for her for an actress born into a lower class British family.
It's the "Tornado" celebration party now, and Jon Peters couldn't have gone too far. However, after saying these words, he was not in the mood to stay at the reception any longer. After saying hello to his acquaintances, he turned and left Banquet hall.
…
"I see you have a malicious smile on your face all the time, are you planning to do something bad again?" Joanna handed the plate to Eric, looking at the man's expression and asked suspiciously.
Eric said exaggeratedly: "How is it possible, I am simple and kind, and I have always only done good things."
Joanna listened to Eric's nonsense, but she was sure in her heart that he must have done something bad.
"What are you talking about?" Virginia also came over at this time, gently pulled up the skirt of the evening dress, and sat down gracefully beside Eric.
Joanna pointed to Eric: "He just did something bad."
Virginia raised her eyebrows, looked at Joanna, and then at Eric. Cai said with a look of 'surprise': "So fast. I only left for more than ten minutes?"
Joanna froze for a moment. His face was slightly red, and he stretched out his hand to pinch Virginia: "Let you talk nonsense!"
Virginia dodged it with a smile, and after Joanna let her go, she asked, "Eric, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, I just said a few more words," Eric looked up at the banquet hall, but he didn't see Zeta Jones. Thinking of the situation when Qiang Peters bid farewell to himself just now, he shrugged. Not only is Qiang Peters not very smart, but he is also stubborn. reaction.
Seeing that Eric didn't want to say more, and the two women didn't continue to ask, Virginia stood up and stretched out her hand to Joanna: "We don't want to accompany this bad guy here anymore, let's dance."
Eric watched Joanna get up indifferently, and said with a smile, "You two go to dance together like such good sisters. They will only envy me."
All the people in the Hollywood circle were invited to the celebratory reception, although no one said anything about it. But they all know Eric's relationship with Joanna and Virginia. The two women have been very close throughout the reception, which has long aroused many people's feelings for Eric. The envy of blessings.
Virginia gave Eric a blank look: "Play for a while, Joan and I will go back to Beverly Hills later, you can go wherever you like tonight, don't bother us."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Eric to answer, the two women left Eric and walked towards the dance floor with a faint laugh.
…
"Mr. Schultz, thank you for coming here in person today." At the entrance of the living room, Eric bid farewell to the last wave of guests, looked at the waiter who had begun to clean the hall, and breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as he was about to go home, a waiter from the hotel came over: "Mr. Williams, I think you'd better take a look."
Eric followed the waiter to the corner of the banquet hall, and saw a black-haired beauty who was already drunk lying on her side on the sofa, her dress was a little messy, and her body smelled like a mixture of alcohol and perfume. With a strange charm.
Eric sighed in embarrassment, and was about to instruct the waiter beside him to arrange a room for Catherine Zeta-Jones, but saw the waiter beside him staring at the beauty on the sofa, swallowed unconsciously, and made clear swallowing sound. This made Eric dispel the idea. It would be too miserable if he was just dumped by others and then met a lecherous waiter.
"You don't need to worry about it, I'll take care of it," Eric waved his hand at the waiter, and got the hotel manager to give instructions, then came over and hugged the girl on the sofa, and left the banquet hall. Although Eric's waiter who operated the elevator was very curious, he stood beside him without squinting.
The driver and bodyguards who were already waiting in the car were not surprised when they saw Eric appear with a woman in his arms, and respectfully opened the door for Eric.
Catherine Zeta-Jones actually had a good capacity for alcohol, but unfortunately she was dumped on the spot at the party, and she inevitably felt self-pitying in her heart, so she inevitably drank a little more, and unconsciously passed out on the sofa.
However, Catherine Zeta-Jones had almost woken up when she realized that she was being hugged by a man. Although her mind was still dizzy, she had already realized what had happened and felt that she was being held by the man's strong arms. Holding it in his arms, Zeta-Jones felt a strange sense of security for no reason.
Although she likes to cling to the rich and powerful in Hollywood, she is not so cheap that she will be taken home by others. Originally, she planned to wake up and go back to her own residence, but the sense of security in the man's arms made her change her original self. After thinking about it, she decided not to wake up again. After relaxing in this way, she quickly fell asleep on the car seat, and she didn't even feel that she was lying on the man's lap.
I don't know how long it took before the car stopped and she was carried out of the car. The cool air in the middle of the night made her wake up again. Although the initial impulse had dissipated, she also realized that it was this hateful man who was holding her. , used some insignificant words to spoil the relationship between her and Jon Peters, she should hate him.
Hesitating like this, she felt the air around her warm up again, and soon, she was placed on a big bed.
The last chance!
Although she came to Hollywood not long ago, she is still very familiar with Eric Williams. How could such a flirtatious person let herself go.
What now, pretend you just woke up...
What if he forced something
Or, what if he let himself go without doing anything
The woman struggled for a few seconds, before she could make up her mind, she felt a thin blanket covering her body, and then there was a slight sound of closing the door.
She could finally open her eyes with peace of mind. The room was pitch black, and in an unfamiliar environment, Catherine Zeta-Jones did not feel any fear. She waited silently for a while, making sure that he had really left and would not return , the girl closed her eyes again unknowingly, indulging in a boundless black dream.
Maybe it was because of the unfamiliar environment, or some other reason, although her mind was still a little dazed after a night's rest, she still woke up very early.
This is a south-facing bedroom on the second floor of the villa. Perhaps due to some negligence, the curtains were not closed. She could see the dark red sunrise outside the window. She got out of bed with her bare feet wrapped in a quilt. There is an endless deep sea surface, because it is a little early, the color of the sea surface is a dark black, and with the breeze, there is a layer of light orange-red scales on it, which looks very spectacular.
However, she was not in the mood to watch these things, she put the quilt back on the big bed, pulled up the shoulder straps of the dress that had slipped on her arms, walked around the room, went into the bathroom first, and took a quick shower , threw the wine-stained dress aside, found a pink bath towel to put on, and at the same time couldn't help but have other thoughts in his heart, the bath towel in the man's room turned out to be pink …
Thinking of this, she looked around, and opened a pocket locker next to the bathroom door. There were indeed brand new toiletries in it. She took out a toothbrush, brushed her teeth carefully, and washed her face slowly. Finally got out of this room.
She has seen this famous "City of Liberty" in magazines a long time ago, but she has never imagined that one day she will be able to walk out of a certain room in this dream villa and look at the circular corridor on the second floor. There was even an inexplicable sense of unreality. (To be continued..)
