Today happened to be Alexander's 16th birthday. The girl called Eric last month to ask if he was free to come to New York, but Eric did not give an accurate answer. Parting from Stan Lee, Eric had no other arrangements tonight, so he rushed over temporarily.
Taking the elevator to the top floor of the 85-story building, Eric came to the door of the apartment and rang the doorbell a few times, but there was no response. It must have been out to celebrate. Eric also anticipated that this would be the result in advance, so he specially sent a spare key, so he opened the door and walked in.
Due to the deep-rooted instinctive resistance to the dwelling space in memory, the properties purchased by Eric are basically very spacious, and this one is no exception. The double-storey duplex structure has a total area of nearly 1,200 square meters, with four bedrooms and six bathrooms. Living room, study, kitchen, dining room, gym and private screening room are all available, and the living room is more than 100 square meters, which is very spacious.
This luxury house was Eric’s first batch of properties purchased during the Kuwait war oil crisis. Because it is located in a prime location close to Central Park and overlooking the entire Upper East Side, and it is the top floor of the building, the price at that time reached 1200 With the recovery of the American economy and the recovery of real estate in these years, the price at this time should be close to 20 million US dollars, and the future appreciation space is even more difficult to estimate.
The six huge double-layer tempered glass windows on the south and west sides of the living room reflect the brilliant lights of Manhattan. The interior decoration is also mainly in warm light colors. You don’t need to turn on the lights, and the living room does not look dark, and there is a faint fragrance in the air. , Eric can also distinguish some feminine changes made by Giselle and the two to the living room layout.
Putting the cake and bouquet on the long table in the corner of the living room, Eric didn't mean to turn on the indoor lights, and walked quietly to a window.
Every window around the living room has a marble window sill that can accommodate a person. Eric also saw a pillow on this window sill. I think Giselle or Alexander likes to lean on here to enjoy the scenery of Manhattan. The night vision was nothing but a brilliant field of falling stars. If it is daytime, standing in front of the window overlooking the metropolis of New York can indeed give people a feeling of being in the clouds overlooking all living beings.
He casually sat down on the window sill leaning on the pillow and looked at the scenery outside the window for a while. Eric raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was half past nine. I don't know if the two girls will be crazy outside until midnight. After thinking about it, Eric still took out his mobile phone and was about to call Giselle when the door opened.
Soon, the sound of dense high-heeled shoes came from the entrance, accompanied by excited discussions, it sounded like there were quite a few people.
Eric frowned slightly, and when he handed the key to Giselle and the two, Eric reminded them not to bring back messy people. He thought the two girls knew what rules to follow.
The lights came on quickly, and a group of young and beautiful girls appeared in front of Eric. Since the night in New York in April was still quite cold, the girls were basically wearing slim-fit jackets and jeans. It's a wonderful feeling that you can see all your legs. Eric also noticed the figures of Giselle and Alexander walking in front. Obviously, judging from the standard tall figures of these girls, they should be best friends in the circle of Giselle and Alexander. Some girls were holding beer and snacks in their arms, and they seemed to be planning to hold a carnival party in the apartment.
All the girls walked into the living room, and Eric scanned around, but he didn't find any male creatures, so his expression relaxed.
Due to the short time of getting along, Eric doesn't have much relationship with the two girls, and the relationship between the two parties is just a simple one for the time being.
Although he promised Gisele that she would become the second Drew, people's hearts are always fickle. After some years, if they want to leave, Eric will not have any nostalgia. Being a human being in two lives, coupled with the improvement of status and wealth over the years, Eric's heart can't help being a little more indifferent and indifferent to human affairs and world affairs. If there are other men in this apartment tonight, Eric will immediately let Giselle and Alexander move out of this apartment, and there will be no further contact in the future.
"Wow, that's huge."
"My God, this is the ultimate dream of my life."
"I would do anything to live here."
"..."
Accompanied by a burst of excited or surprised whispers, the girls also noticed Eric sitting on the window sill and looking at them, and everyone was taken aback for an instant. But immediately, Alexander rushed over first, and said excitedly: "Eric, when did you come here?"
"Just arrived for a while, I wanted to give you a surprise," Eric sat up, smiled and hugged Alexander who flung himself into his arms, kissed her on the cheek, and said, "Happy birthday."
"Thank you, Eric," Alexander said, kissing Eric on the cheek as well.
Giselle also came over, and she keenly noticed the displeasure flashing across Eric's expression just now, thinking of Eric's initial instructions, she inevitably felt a little uneasy.
The other girls have recognized Eric at this time, and they are full of envy and jealousy in surprise. After learning that Giselle and Alexander live in this building, they guess that there must be something behind Giselle and Alexander. A big shot, but no one thought that this person would be Eric Williams, which definitely exceeded everyone's previous wildest imagination.
But immediately, they also took it for granted. After all, those rich people usually only use this type of top-floor mansion as their residence, and only people like Eric Williams can be so relaxed and lavish He took out a penthouse duplex on Madison Avenue for his lover to live in.
Eric hugged Giselle again, whispered a few words, looked up at a group of beautiful stunners in front of him with obviously eager expressions, and greeted with a smile: "Hi, girls."
The tone of Eric's words imitated the usual opening remarks of Charlie Townsend, the behind-the-scenes boss of the detective agency in "Charlie's Angels", when he contacted the three angels. Obviously, these girls have basically watched "Charlie's Angels", almost They responded in unison: "Hi, Eric."
"Well, it seems that you have all seen that movie," Eric smiled, took a look at a dozen cans of beer from the girl standing in the front row, and said, "This is a party Ah, but these beers are not very good, I'll send some over."
With that said, Eric sat back on the window sill, took out his mobile phone and dialed the assistant's number, looked up at the girls in front of him, and said, "Peter, get some party drinks over, about twenty people share, hurry up."
Seeing Eric hang up the phone, a bold girl said first: "Eric, there are only fifteen of us in total, twenty servings, are you going to get us all drunk?"
Eric showed a somewhat bad expression, and said, "Why not, maybe I will do some more extreme things, and those who are afraid can leave early, it may be too late later."
"Ah," the girls screamed half-truths and half-falsely. Many girls showed hesitation on their faces, but none of them turned around and left.
Eric smiled and clapped his hands, and said, "Okay, let's get ready, move the table and chairs in the middle to the corner, and, do you have any good music records at home?"
Eric looked at Giselle in the last sentence, and Giselle nodded and said, "It's in the living room upstairs, Eric, let's change clothes and take down the record by the way."
Having said that, Giselle took Alexander and walked towards the stairs, and the other girls also consciously began to move the furniture in the living room.
Pulled upstairs by Giselle, Alexander rubbed his sore wrist and complained, "What are you doing, I don't want to change clothes."
Giselle glared at Alexander, continued to walk towards the bedroom, and said angrily: "It's all your fault, you insist on having a party at home, now it's all right, send a group of little bitches to Eric."
Of course, Alexander couldn't fail to notice the way those girlfriends looked at Eric, shrunk their necks a little guilty, after all, she was only sixteen years old, after all, she had the vanity of a girl, and wanted to show off to her girlfriends The luxurious apartment, did not expect to be self-defeating. Following Giselle on tiptoe like a kitten, Alexander still made a small excuse: "You, you obviously agreed."
Without looking back, Giselle went to the bedroom and opened the closet, picked out the clothes, and said, "If someone proposes to throw you out of here, I will agree."
Alexander didn't dare to talk back anymore, he stretched out his little hand poking around, picked out his favorite dress, and was about to change it, when someone knocked on the bedroom door.
Giselle and Alexander turned their heads at the same time, and several girls had already walked over, looking at Giselle and Alexander's wardrobes with bright eyes, one of the girls said: "Giselle, we can borrow some skirts to wear down?"
Alexander smiled habitually, and was about to speak when he felt Giselle pinch his waist hard.
Warning Alexander to keep his mouth shut, Giselle also had a smile on her face, but she refused without any hesitation, saying, "Sorry, Karen, I'm not used to other people wearing my clothes."
The girl named Karen was not discouraged either, and turned to Alexander: "Then, Ale, you..."
Alexander shook his head quickly: "I, I'm not used to it either."
The other girl next to Karen rolled her eyes, pulled her companion, and smiled slyly: "Karen, why don't we go down and talk to Eric, maybe he will let the Chanel store send a dozen skirts directly Come here, it’s definitely not worse than what’s in Giselle’s closet. I’ve wanted to buy Chanel for a long time.”
The other girls were not stupid either, they all laughed and echoed.
Giselle wished she could pinch Alexander again, she moved away helplessly, and said, "Okay, pick whatever you want, you little bitches."
"Ha ha."
Several girls didn't mind Giselle's words at all, and rushed forward with laughter. After a while, other girls also rushed upstairs to borrow clothes. Giselle simply changed into a purple long dress and went to In the living room, I picked out the music records to be used later. Seeing Alexander following, Giselle said, "Ale, I'm going to stick to Eric like chewing gum later. Don't give those guys a chance, you know?"
"Got it, got it," Alexander nodded hastily, but he still didn't forget to mutter, "It's like chewing gum, tsk, it's so disgusting."
Giselle immediately raised a disc in her hand and patted it on Alexander's head: "I don't blame you all."
Alexander didn't even bother to resist, and let Giselle hit himself, saying: "I just think, do you need to be so nervous? You are the newcomer with the fastest rising momentum in the fashion industry now, and I should be nervous, You have walked dozens of top brand shows in these two fashion weeks, so you are in your early days. Eric will only arrange opportunities for me this fall, and if he falls in love with other girls, I will be miserable."
"So you understand everything?"
"I'm not a fool," Alexander curled his lips, feeling a girl's figure swaying past the door, turned his head subconsciously, looked back, and said: "I just think, since it's all like this, it's useless to regret."
Giselle gave Alexander a blank look, and said nothing, but she was not as relaxed as Alexander.
Although it took Eric a year to push her to a position that many models may not be able to achieve in their lifetime, in fact, she can only be regarded as a newcomer who has just debuted with good potential. Due to age restrictions and other factors, She hasn't gotten any brand endorsement yet, and she is even more incomparable with the supermodels at the top of the industry pyramid.
In recent years, as the market share of Victoria's Secret has risen from 10% to 40%, LTD has spared no effort in building the Victoria's Secret Angel brand. Coupled with the support of Firefly Group's media resources, the number of Victoria's Secret Angels The ten supermodels not only have the highest exposure and the highest income in the industry, but they can almost monopolize most of the high-end brand resources in the fashion industry.
There is already a popular opinion in the fashion industry. If you can't be on the Victoria's Secret runway, then you don't deserve the title of supermodel. Similarly, you can't squeeze into the top circle of the industry. The number of Victoria's Secret Angels has been maintained at about 40 people, but there are hundreds of thousands of practitioners in the entire industry. It is conceivable how intense the competition is. Without the support of Eric, the founder of the Victoria's Secret Show, Even if you are lucky enough to get the qualification for the Victoria's Secret catwalk, it is even more difficult to go further. The Victoria's Secret Legion is also highly competitive within the class.
Giselle has always been very aware that she is not beautiful enough, and she still does not understand why Eric picked her in the first place, but she definitely values this opportunity more than anyone else, and she once swore that she would never experience that kind of reason again in her life. Losing $50 feels like the sky is falling. If because of today's mistake, the other girls around won Eric's favor, and even replaced her and Alexander's position, then she estimated that she would really find a place to cry.
Giselle picked out a few records and took Alexander downstairs. At this time, the fluorescent lights in the living room had been turned off, only a few light yellow wall lamps were left on, and a long table was already filled with all kinds of Drinks, candy, snacks, and even an assortment of party toys.
But what bothered Giselle even more was that a group of girls had put on fancy long and short skirts and even shorts. Most of these were her clothes. I don't know how they would be ruined tonight. Most of her income this year has basically been spent on it, after all, it is essential for girls. Alexander is not making any money at all now. Although no one will collect rent from them in this mansion, living in this environment requires thousands of dollars for monthly odds and ends. The two of them are not well-off at all. . Of course Giselle thought about Eric, but she instinctively felt that no rich man would like a woman who asked for money, and she didn't want Eric to feel disgusted by her.
Looking at Eric who was still sitting on the window sill but surrounded by several girls, Giselle stuffed the record in her hand to Alexander, and then walked over.
Eric didn't know what he said, and made the girls around him giggle. One girl even wanted to lean in so softly. Giselle squeezed over and sat on the edge of the window sill. In the eyes of surprise and envy, the slender body leaned intimately in Eric's arms, and the whole person did not have the vigor when he was with Alexander just now. Pecking on the cheek, he asked in a hoarse voice, "Eric, what are you talking about?"
Eric also minded Giselle's obvious carelessness. He stretched out his arms to wrap around the girl's slender waist, lowered his head and kissed those two lips, and said with a smile, "I'm talking about Hollywood, but I know a lot of inside gossip."
Just as he was talking, dynamic music sounded in the living room, and the girls began to dance lightly unconsciously.
Seeing that the girls couldn't let go, Eric smiled and said, "Let's go dance, I like to see you dance."
Eric opened his mouth, and the girls were no longer restrained, and soon gathered in the center of the living room, cheering and screaming to the sound of the music, dancing to their heart's content, and there were also many girls who boldly looked at Eric, twisting their bodies while making gestures. Bold teasing moves. Although it is impossible to create the frenzied atmosphere in the nightclub in a short period of time, watching a group of girls with a face value and figure above 80 points dance like a boneless mermaid, the visual sensory stimulation can definitely make a man's blood boil.
Seeing Alexander joining the crowd and waving to this side, Giselle got up and said, "Eric, let's dance too."
"I'll just watch it, you go," Eric smiled and shook his head.
Giselle didn't want to give a group of little she-wolves with shining eyes a chance, so she leaned over and took off Eric's leather shoes, took his hand coquettishly, and insisted: "Come on, you It's boring not to dance."
Eric didn't resist too much, took off his coat, followed Giselle's strength and walked towards the center of the living room, and the girls quickly surrounded him.
He hugged Giselle and danced skillfully with the music. After a while, Eric felt Giselle's soft body pressed closer to him, and at the same time leaned into his ear and whispered: "Ai Rick, let's go to the bedroom, shall we?"
After all, this body has the vitality of a young man, deep in the soft fragrance of nephrite jade, if there is no reaction at all, it would be too abnormal. But Eric was not so impatient. Instead of responding to Giselle's question, he stretched out his hand and pulled Alexander over, brought Giselle and her together, and said with a smile, "You two dance for me."
Of course, Giselle knew exactly what Eric's request was, and obediently did not resist. She hugged Alexander, and the two kissed naturally while dancing, and there was a burst of booing and screaming immediately.
Eric watched the performance of the two girls, and felt a few girls who were rubbing against him approached more intimately, and smiled and stretched out his hand to grab a girl beside him and hugged him in his arms.
The girl is also tall, with short blond hair, a slightly immature baby face, big eyes, small face, slender lips, and light smoky makeup, just like a real Barbie. What's even more surprising is the girl's slender waist. With a real grasp, Eric's big hands can almost wrap it all up.
"Your waist is so thin, I suddenly became curious, are you sixteen years old?"
Because of being hugged together, the girl could also feel the changes in Eric's body, her face was slightly red, but she didn't break away from Eric's arms, but took the initiative to put her arms around Eric's waist, rubbing gently, and heard Eric Ke's question and replied: "Eric, I'm going to be twenty-one soon."
"Wow, I really don't see it, I just thought I was committing a crime."
"Hehe," the girl smiled and said, "My name is Quss Gauff."
Eric didn't have this name in his memory, and he wasn't too interested. Maybe we wouldn't see each other again after tonight, but he still responded thoughtfully, "Gauve, is this a German surname?"
Quss Gauff shook her head and said, "Of course not, the orthodox English surname is the same as yours."
Eric looked down at the girl's face, especially the girl's lip shape, which was obviously similar to Diane Kruger, so he said, "But I think you must have Germanic blood, right?"
Quss Gauff nodded and said, "Yes, from my mother."
"Then she must be a great beauty too," Eric complimented with a smile.
"I think so too," Quss Gauff laughed, looking at Eric with full eyes.
A few short conversations allowed her to unknowingly let go of her original incompatibility, and inexplicably developed a certain liking for Eric in her heart. After a while, the girl boldly stood on tiptoe and kissed Eric.
Eric is not the kind of person who likes to kiss strange girls, his cleanliness is actually quite serious. Although sometimes the relationship with the women around him developed quite quickly, but that was mainly because he was quite familiar with them in his previous life.
Turning his head slightly to avoid the girl's approaching lips, Eric politely kissed her tender cheek lightly, and said with a smile: "I don't want our relationship to develop too fast."
Quss Gauff was a little disappointed, but she didn't show it. She still smiled and said, "Eric, I'm tired. Let's go for a drink, shall we?"
"Okay, but you have to be careful, I like to get women drunk."
Quss Gauff was not afraid at all, and said with a smile, "Why didn't I get you drunk?"
"Okay, let's go and try."
The cycle of a record was over, and the girls were all tired from dancing. Just as they were about to take a break, everyone discovered that Eric and several girls were already clustered on a sofa. He was holding a bottle cap in his hand and stretched his hand toward An empty glass was thrown away on the floor not far away.
With a jingle, the glass rang, and the bottle cap fell into the cup accurately.
"Ah, what a nuisance, losing again."
The girls around him complained coquettishly, but they drank the wine in their hands without hesitation, and then said like a group of kittens playing crazy: "Come again, come again."
"Are you sure?" Eric asked with a smile.
"Of course, of course."
"Okay," Eric said, and threw out another bottle cap, and the jingle sounded again.
The other girls also gathered around, watching Eric throw the bottle cap into the glass twice in a row, and booed: "Wow, no, no, Eric, you must have cheated."
Eric smiled. Strictly speaking, he was cheating, because he often played this game when he went to nightclubs in his previous life, so he should have practiced it, but his luck tonight seemed to be exceptionally good.
Seeing Quss Gauff beside him reluctantly dragging his right hand over, as if wanting to check if there is a scope or something on it, and letting the girls fiddle with it, Eric smiled and said, "Forget it." , I won’t bully you anymore, or let’s change the game and you can pick whatever you want.”
Immediately, a girl raised a deck of cards in her hand: "How about playing cards, so that Eric can't cheat?"
Eric nodded and said, "Okay, let's all come together and play more simply. Each person draws a card, and the one whose number is smaller than mine drinks. If everyone's cards are higher than mine, then I will drink."
"Whoa, how can we win this?"
"How can you do this."
"Eric, it's so shameless."
There was another sound of crusade, Eric smiled and said: "Then, add some chips and gamble, I am better at this."
Qusi Gauff laughed and said, "Then we wouldn't be able to play with you if we sold ourselves."
"Well, you don't have to pay, I lose once, one hundred thousand dollars, plus a private jet to take you to any city in the world for tourism and shopping, Renton, Paris, Tokyo, wherever you want. But , you also want to add some chips, how about it?" (To be continued.)
