Hollywood Secret Garden

"Hi, baby, how about going to a movie with our family tonight." Jared put down the newspaper in his hand, smiled and said to Angela who was eating breakfast, and he changed out of his pajamas before breakfast today.

The little girl just took a bite of the baguette. She seemed to choke up when she heard her father's words. She frowned and took a long time to swallow it. Then she quickly regained her composure and said, "No, Dad, there's no need."

"Really? This is a rare opportunity." Jared sipped his coffee and said calmly.

Angela bit the spoon, stared at her father, and said after a while with gritted teeth, "No, Dad, I'm serious."

"Why?" Dad shrugged in confusion.

"What why?" Elena came over and sat down at this moment, just in time to hear this sentence.

Jared didn't answer directly, but asked something inconsequential: "Honey, are you free today?"

"I just need to send the design of the necklace to the company, what's the matter?" Although she didn't understand why her husband asked this question, Elena answered truthfully.

"Let's go to a movie tonight, just the two of us, I asked Chris, she won't go." Jared still smiled.

Hearing the word movie, Elena already understood what was going on, and a meaningful smile appeared on her face, while the little girl yelled angrily: "Daddy!"

"Okay, okay, let's hear it now." Jared said, picking up the newspaper, and read: "...It is clear that Nancy Meyers and Charles Schuyer want to give children It’s a perfect end to summer’s summer, but unfortunately, the whole movie didn’t achieve the effect they wanted. The story is too thin. Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts’ rivalry in the bar is the only bright spot. As for Angela Mason, who plays both roles, is nothing but cute."

After reading it, he flipped through the first page of the newspaper: "Well, this is from the Washington Post, so let's look at the other papers."

As he said that, he took the "Los Angeles Times" and turned to the entertainment page. After finding the film review, he read: "... Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts staged a scene where two daughters compete for husbands, although Julia won in the play. , but off-screen, Dennis Quaid is still by Meg's side, but the two ladies still follow the route of the silly big sister, which is too conservative, but the rival scene in the bar is very interesting. As a newcomer, Miss Angela Mason, The first time she appeared on the big screen, she played two roles, which was a bit too demanding, and the performance was remarkable, but her British accent was really bad."

"Crap? Maybe the gentleman who wrote the film review has never been to England." Elena raised her eyebrows.

"Don't worry, honey, there are others, let me read them first." Jared waved his hand and picked up another newspaper, which looked like The New York Times.

The little girl had no choice but to stand up and said as if begging for mercy: "Okay, Dad, can you stop reading."

"Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you would like it. Since you don't want to go to the premiere or go to the cinema, you can always listen to the movie reviews." Father smiled and shrugged Mimi.

"I'll go tonight, it should be fine." Angela's gnashing of teeth became more and more obvious.

"Okay, then it's settled." Jared drank his coffee, reached out and touched the little guy's head, ignored her murderous gaze, kissed his wife goodbye, and went out.

At the door, the driver David Dick had already driven the car over to wait for him, as usual, but after he got in the car, David looked at him in the rearview mirror and said with a smile: "Mr. Mason, you His daughter is lovely."

Jared was stunned for a moment, and politely replied thank you, but he didn't take it to heart.But when he came to the company, he soon found that something was wrong. Whenever he walked by, the employees would whisper behind him. Although he rarely reprimanded his employees, he still disliked this kind of behavior .

After entering his office, the secretary, Miss Daisy, quickly sent over the classified documents, but when she went out, she smiled at him like David and said, "Mr. Mason, your daughter is very cute."

"Oh? Thank you." Jared was taken aback again. Thinking of just now, he finally understood what was going on. However, did the employees of the company go to the movies together last night?

If the little girl was here, she would definitely know about it. That is the so-called gossip culture in the office. Only one person has gossip, and other people in the office will know it immediately. These rumors are sometimes stronger than light. fast.

But Jared didn't know about it, so he just couldn't think about it. Maybe it was because he made fun of the little guy in the morning that he caused such trouble?Hey, I'm not making fun of her!I am helping her face her work!

Just as he was thinking wildly, the phone on the desk rang, followed by Daisy's voice: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Albert is on line 3."

Brian?Why is he calling me at this time?Could it be because of Chris' movie?Jared knocked on the table, and finally picked up the phone: "Come here, Daisy."

The call was connected quickly, but before he could speak, a somewhat noisy voice came from the other side: "Jedi, what the hell is going on! Am I the last one to find out again! I'm a kid Guy's godfather!"

"Okay, okay, Bligh, can you please be quiet and speak slowly, my ears are almost deaf." Jared almost threw the microphone in his hand.

"Okay, then tell me, what's going on?" Brian over there calmed down and said in a slow tone.

"Understood, but do you have any good news to hear?"

"what?"

"From the time of your call, you certainly weren't the last to hear."

"...Well, well, I get it, I'm definitely going to sit back and watch after your family stirs up a storm."

"You bastard." Jared cursed with a smile, and then briefly explained what Angela had done during this time.

"That is to say, the little guy played the role of the script he created?" Brian yelled strangely over there, "Well, I knew my goddaughter was not simple, she was a genius, to be honest, I think her performance is really good Excellent."

"Really? I haven't seen it yet." Jared shrugged on the phone.

"Why, yesterday was the premiere, Chris should be there, right?"

"Chris obviously didn't have confidence in her own work. Not only did she decline Disney's invitation to the premiere, but she didn't want us to go too." Jared said helplessly.

At this moment, the phone on the desk rang again: "Mr. Mason, Miss Ruth is on line 4, can you tell her to wait?"

Jared smiled wryly, and quickly said into the microphone: "Okay, Bligh, Ruth's phone call came. It's probably the same problem, so I have to say goodbye to you for the time being."

"Say hello to Ruth for me, save Erin and the little one, because I'll be in Los Angeles soon."

"I hope we are not at home when you come." Jared said, pressed the end button, and then said: "Daisy, put Ruth's call in."

Soon, a brisk female voice came to my ears: "Jedi, are you there?"

"Yes, I'm here, Ruth, isn't it because of Chris's movie?" Jared asked with a wry smile.

After hesitating for a while, he said, "Why, Dad already called?"

"It's Brian, not my stubborn father." Speaking of his father, Jared's tone unconsciously became a little lazy.

"Jedi!" Ruth said emphatically.

"Come on, Ruth, you know, it's not been a day or two since Dad and I have been like this." Jared scratched his head, "It seems that you are asking about Chris."

"Okay, so what's up with the little guy?"

Just when Jared was about to answer, the phone rang again: "Mr. Mason, your father is on line 5, would you please wait a moment?"

What did you say? Jared patted his forehead, and then said into the microphone: "Okay, my dear sister, Dad is calling. If you want to know anything, you can call Erin or Bly. .”

"I see, but don't quarrel with Dad."

"Okay, don't compare me with a child." Jared shook his head and pressed the end button again, then took a deep breath and said into the microphone: "Daisy, take my father's call."

Two or three seconds later, a slightly hoarse old voice came from the microphone: "Jedi, you are very remiss."

"Really? Because Chris was allowed to make a movie?" Jared took a deep breath, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.

"Yeah, I don't know what you're thinking, but is there any irresistible reason for a young child to go to a movie?! Or have you stayed in Los Angeles for too long and don't care about children anymore?!" The old man's tone gradually become harsh.

"Okay, Dad, Chris made her own choice from the beginning to the end, we just respect her choice."

"But you are her guardian, you have to do more than respect!"

"Then what do you want me to do? Tie her up? Don't forget what a commotion she caused when she ran away from home in London when she was four years old!"

"That's still your dereliction of duty."

Hell, would you just say that? Jared was a little annoyed, and his tone became cold: "Okay, Mr. Kleist, I still have things to do. This morning is all about Angela's phone calls. It's already serious." It's affecting my job, so if you have a problem you can come to California, or wait until we come to New York for Christmas, that's it."

After speaking, he hung up the phone with a click, and after taking two deep breaths on the chair, he realized that he had talked with his father for a long time, but he didn't get to the point at all, which was really inexplicable.

Jared smiled bitterly, and the phone rang again: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Clover is on line 3, can you tell him to wait?"

Well, well, today is the little guy's press conference, or is it because I made fun of her?hell!
