King of Hollywood

Chapter 180 There Are Others

The little girl sat quietly on the chair, completely without the lively appearance of the past, her eyes were a little loose and out of focus, as if she didn't know where to look, her face was full of depression and loneliness, giving people a feeling of distress.

"Hey, Scarlett, why are you here? Where's your mother?" Adrian walked in and asked in a concerned tone.

Scarlett raised her head in a daze, forced a smile after recognizing Adrian, opened her mouth, but said nothing.

"Did something happen?" Adrian closed the door casually, glanced outside, walked a few steps to her and sat down.

"No...it's nothing..." The little girl replied in a low voice, "I'm here...to audition for a role...I..."

"Where's your mother?" Adrian looked around and asked again. The lounge is not big and there is no room, so there can be no one else.

"She has... other things to deal with... She asked me... to wait for her here..." Scarlett bit her lip, turned her head to one side, and her hands behind her back involuntarily clenched into fists.

"Did something happen? You don't seem very happy." Adrian asked in a gentle tone.

Scarlett suddenly turned her head, with a hopeful expression as if she wanted to say something, but after hesitating for a few minutes, she lowered her head again, and said in a low voice, "Really...it's nothing..."

"...Well, it doesn't matter if you don't want to say it," Adrian said after waiting for a while, "but, Scarlett, I just want you to know that if you have something on your mind that is inconvenient to confide in your family, if If you want any help, you can come to me. You are a lovely little girl, and you are also a strong little girl, I really hope to see you happy instead of being so depressed now. "

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and gently stroked Scarlett's immature face, speaking in the most sincere tone. Scarlett's body trembled without warning, and the circles of her eyes quickly turned red. Although she was still desperately controlling herself, her mouth opened uncontrollably, and then, as the tears rolled down, her throat also began to move up.

However, no matter how much she shed tears, no matter how wide her mouth opened, no sound came out. Only people who are extremely sad will have this state. Adrian immediately hugged her into his arms and rubbed her back repeatedly: "Cry, cry, cry happily, as long as you cry, it will be much better."

With his slapping hands, the little girl finally cried out, first hissing, as if the air in her lungs had been squeezed out of the gap, but soon turned into a normal whining sound, until In the end, he burst into tears. This crying felt uncontrollable, Scarlett buried her head on his chest and kept shrugging her shoulders, clutching the collar tightly with both hands.

Adrian clearly felt the process of his clothes being wet by her tears, but he still did nothing, just kept patting her back lightly. The door was gently pushed open at this moment, and Melanie's anxious face appeared at the door. Adrian hurriedly raised his fingers and made a "shh" gesture, then shook his head lightly.

Milani glanced at his daughter who was still sobbing in his arms, nodded after hesitating for a while, and backed out quietly.

After a few more minutes, Scarlett's crying finally subsided. After sobbing a few times in a row, she lifted up Ewha's rainy face.

"Yes... I'm sorry..." She choked up and said, tears still running down her flushed face from time to time.

"It's okay, as long as you can vent it." Adrian smiled, took out a tissue and wiped her already crying face, "Do you want to feel better now?"

"Thank you... thank you..." Scarlett said intermittently, trying to calm herself down, and it seemed that her emotions had basically been controlled.

"Scarlett?" Melanie, who had been waiting outside for a long time, finally came in and hurriedly hugged her daughter in her arms, "Are you okay? I'm sorry, it's my mother's fault, I shouldn't leave you here alone .”

"It's okay... Mom... I'm already fine." Scarlett sniffed and tried to force a smile.

"I believe she's fine, Melanie, don't worry, Scarlett is a very good little girl." Adrian said and brought a cup of hot cocoa to Scarlett's hand: "Have something to drink, Scarlett , it can make you calmer, and it can also give you some energy."

Scarlett took it and nodded obediently. She was indeed so weak from crying, so she sat down and drank slowly.

"Can I hold you up for a few minutes, Melanie?" Adrian gave Melanie a wink at this moment.

"Yes, of course." Melanie followed him to the other side.

"Excuse me, can you tell me what happened?" Adrian asked in a voice that only two people could hear, "Of course, if it's inconvenient..."

"Well... this..." Melanie hesitated for a while, but still told the truth, "That's right, her father... not long ago officially divorced me."

"I understand." Adrian immediately made a "no more" gesture, "I think you must have been in a cold war for a long time, right? And Mr. Kastan has to bear a lot of responsibility... This is indeed quite a problem for the child. Big blow."

"Yes," Melanie smiled gratefully, "She has done this more than once, when she was filming on the set of "The Horse Whisperer"—you know that movie right?"

"Yes, Robert Rayford's "The Horse Whisperer" was jointly invested by his production company and Miramax, and Scarlett played the heroine's daughter." Adrian nodded, "A good role , It's a test of acting skills."

"On the set, people saw her crying secretly more than once, but in front of everyone, she always tried to pretend that she was nothing." Melanie said here with a sigh, "And it's the same at home, I have I wanted to find time to talk to her several times, but I didn't know what to say, and her brothers, sisters and brothers couldn't help much."

"I understand that from the perspective of parents, it is difficult to explain this kind of thing clearly to children, especially children who are forming their outlook on life and the world. From a personal point of view, I suggest that you should be patient enough not to tell her How much, but you must listen to her more. She is a very good child, and I have high expectations for her, and I don't want her to be silent because of this." Adrian said with a serious taste.

After a long pause for a few seconds, he said again: "I hope these words of mine won't trouble you, Melanie."

"No no no, Ed," the other party smiled and shook his head, "In fact, I should thank you, she has been like this for a long time, fortunately she cried today, otherwise I might have to take her to see a psychiatrist .I'll try to do what you say, Ed, I promise."

Adrian nodded, looked at Scarlett, who was holding a cup and glanced at them from time to time, and then walked up to her and squatted down: "Is it much better now?"

"Yes, it's much better." The little girl had completely regained her composure, because she had let out a lot of crying, and her smile was much cuter.

"Very well, then, forget about those unhappy things, remember what I said just now, you are a strong little girl, you will not be knocked down by these setbacks, right?" Adrian said with a smile, "If there is anything on your mind that you don't want to tell your mother in the future, then you can tell me, and I promise not to tell anyone else."

Scarlett blinked, then lit up: "You promise? Swear to God?"

"I swear to God." Adrian raised his right hand, and Melanie next to him wanted to say something, but just opened his mouth and immediately closed it again.

"Thank you." Scarlett suddenly threw herself into his arms, put her head on his shoulder and hugged her tightly with her eyes closed. Adrian smiled and patted her on the back again.

After a while, Melanie finally said, "Okay, Scarlett, we're leaving."

"Goodbye, Ed." The little girl ran back to her mother and waved to Adrian.

"Goodbye." Adrian nodded to her and her mother, sent them out of the lounge, and watched them walk through the corridor, during which Scarlett would turn her head to look at him from time to time, with a look of reluctance.

Didn't expect this to happen, but it's a good opportunity, right? Adrian recalled all kinds of information about Scarlett in his mind, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"Do you still have to go to the office?" Sarah's voice sounded behind her.

"Oh, sorry for keeping you waiting." Adrian immediately came back to his senses, and walked towards the office with her in his arms.

Sarah, who has been waiting outside the door until now, naturally saw the whole thing from beginning to end, but she didn't say anything, just took a deep look at Adrian, and didn't lower herself until she entered Adrian's office. He said in a low voice: "That's how I was fooled."

"What are you talking about?" Adrian raised his eyebrows immediately.

"Did I say anything?" Sarah looked up, blinking her eyes innocently.

"Of course you said something, I heard the voice." Adrian opened the drawer with some amusement and looked for it.

"Since I heard it, why do you ask?" Sarah said angrily.

"Wow, wow," Adrian made a tsk-tsk sound, "Is it my illusion or what? I actually heard a sense of 'taste' in your tone?!"

"It's...it's not." Sarah's face was slightly flushed, but she immediately thought of something, turned her head and stared at Adrian without blinking.

"What's wrong?" Adrian touched his face involuntarily, but nothing was on it.

In the next second, Sarah walked over in a few steps, opened her arms and hugged Adrian on tiptoe. After closing her eyes and putting her head on his shoulder for a long time, she finally sighed faintly: "If there was still a little bit of uncertainty before, today it is completely certain."

"Oh?" Adrian, who also embraced her, raised his eyebrows, but he didn't show much surprise. He knew what Sarah wanted to say.

"I love you, Ed, although..." Sarah didn't finish her words, she also knew that Adrian understood what she wanted to say.

"I'm glad I could sell myself to you." She said softly, then kissed his mouth lightly, her eyes full of attachment.

"I'm also very happy to buy you." Adrian smiled back and kissed, then shook the document in his hand, "Okay, I've found it, let's go back, we won't be able to order it any later. The location of Golf Restaurant."

Although he became the object of a loli's confidant by chance, Adrian didn't feel troublesome, especially when it was related to some of the remarks made by Scarlett in his previous life, he must be an idiot if he let it go easily, not to mention She also has a lot in common with them. Besides, he is also very knowledgeable in this regard, and this feeling of Pikemaon effect is also quite fulfilling.

So most of Adrian's energy is still on the movie. Although Sarah complains that her swallow is not stupid enough in "Legal Blonde", this is not a big problem. At least Sarah isn't too shrewd in "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" or "I Know What You Did Last Summer" or "On High School," and the goofiness can be adjusted.

"She's doing pretty well, she just needs a little attention, and it's not difficult to reflect this feeling, besides Elle is not the kind of really silly woman." Josh Vartan, who served as the director, commented on her performance .

If there is anything Sarah needs to worry about, it is her gentle character developed after she attached to Adrian. But in public, Sarah and Love seem like perfect sisters.

It doesn't matter, at least in private it is quite imposing. Adrian said so in his heart. Out of worry, he once took a peek at the private relationship between the two of them. Sarah was quite domineering, and when Love said something wrong, she pushed her against the wall of the dressing room as if to slap her. Of course, Sarah didn't really fight. After manipulating her for a while, she comforted her with a condescending attitude, and she almost became the queen.

There are probably many times like this, and Love has been submissive and completely surrendered to her hands. But every time afterward, when Sarah was the only one left, she would always take big mouthfuls of breath to calm down her emotions, as if she felt a lot of guilt amidst the excitement.

Take your time, don't rush, but Love, you can continue to give her some sweetness. Adrian was thinking in his mind. She had released an album for Love before, and the sales were neither good nor bad, which made her somewhat popular in singing. Now you can consider giving a role in the movie that has some weight but not much popularity. The heroine in "Death Comes" is not bad.

There's more than one movie in production right now, Legally Blonde, so Adrian soon went to the set of another one, the fourth of Julia's love five-part series: "Runaway Bride"!

"Finally willing to see me?" When Adrian appeared on the set of "The Runaway Bride", Julia asked at the beginning, and the dissatisfaction in her tone was quite obvious, which has never happened before.

"Did something happen?" Adrian asked with a smile, as if it wasn't such a big deal.

"Oh, nothing happened. Anyway, I'm just one of your many women. It's my honor that you can take the time to visit me, right?" Julia continued to sarcastically say.

"Huh? Sorry, this seems... well, Emma, ​​do you know what your aunt is talking about?" Adrian glanced at Julia with a half-smile, then changed his expression and looked behind her. far away.

Behind the corner of the wall, Emma Roberts was poking out half of her head and looking at this side curiously, her eyes kept rolling. Julia immediately covered her mouth subconsciously, and her face became a little ugly. If Emma heard all the words just now, it would be a troublesome thing, even though she is only 6 years old now. But when she thought that it was the guy in front of her who made her lose her composure, she couldn't help but glared at Adrian, and then scanned the surroundings. Fortunately, the staff of the crew were far away, and there was no one else except Emma .

"Don't worry." Adrian whispered in Julia's ear, kissed her face in front of Emma, ​​and then walked over to hug the little guy.

Julia glared at him again, but said nothing.

"You two are so funny." Emma clapped her hands and giggled after biting her fingers and looking at Adrian and her aunt for a while.

With Emma disrupting the situation, and even though she heard what they said but didn't understand what it was, Julia's dissatisfaction quickly dissipated a lot. After all, it is no longer a matter of a day or two for Adrian to have many women. Her dissatisfaction is not only because Adrian did not come to visit the set immediately after returning to Los Angeles, but also because the filming did not go well.

"I'm always out of shape, and I have to NG many times to go through a slightly more complicated scene. I seem to have become unable to act overnight." Julia complained.

This is obviously caused by anxiety, such as always worrying about something, so that you can't perform well, as long as you eliminate the anxiety, you will be fine. Of course, the first thing to do is to find the cause of the anxiety, and Adrian knows more or less about it.

"Millennium, I will direct it myself, and it will also be the time when the fifth part is released." Adrian said with a smile, "I want you to be the first Oscar queen in the millennium."

"The first Oscar actress in the millennium should be the one in early 2000." Although she said so, the relaxed look between her brows could be seen at a glance.

"Who is the real first actress of the millennium will have its own judgment at that time, won't it?" Adrian smiled and began to soothe her body again.

Both of them were lying naked on the bed in the bedroom at this time. This is another way to relieve anxiety, and it is also one of the reasons why Julia is so relaxed. What could be better than a hearty sex? What about decompression?

"Wait, Ed, Emma is next door, it was loud enough just now." Julia hurriedly grabbed his hand.

"That's the same," Adrien thought for a while, then laughed, "But, I miss your mouth very much."

Julia couldn't help but gave him a blank look, but immediately turned over, knelt on the bed and went down. \u003c/p\u003e
