Hollywood Secret Garden

"I didn't expect you to come to see me as soon as the news came out. It's really surprising." Although Nicole was smiling, but her eyes were red. Angela was quite nervous when she faced two people with red eye circles in a row. Weird feeling.

"I'm just a little worried about you. After all, emotional blows are very painful." Angela said softly.

"It's okay, after all, the saddest time is over." Nicole shook her head but closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "It was a week full of quarrels, anger and hysteria, but fortunately we were all in front of everyone Cover it all up."

She said with a sad look: "I used to think that no matter how much we quarreled, we could still understand and reconcile each other as before, but this time we finally came to an end."

"To be honest, I'm really surprised. After all, you have lived together for 8 years and you have known each other and been in love for a longer time. Although I have seen some signs before, I didn't expect it to be so fast," Angela gestured. Her topic continued, and her surprise was real, because it was still 98, "This is really a pity, but since you have decided to divorce, I don't have much to say, I just hope you can tell me Look ahead."

"Of course, but not now," Nicole shook her head with a wry smile, "Now that the media already know that we are separated, it is conceivable that they will use all means to find out what happened, no matter what I or... Tom says they will not Will care, will only write what they want to write, even if we sign the divorce agreement, it will not be completely over."

"Okay, Nicole, aren't journalists always like this? Don't worry about them." Angela said comfortingly, although she also wanted to know why the two of them divorced, but look at the current situation Let's forget about the situation.

"Your coffee." Naomi walked over with a coffee cup at this time, then sat down beside Nicole, and naturally leaned on her shoulder and comforted her softly: "Don't think so much, Nicole, just As Angie said, reporters have always been like that, don’t you see them less? During this period of time, just stay at home and do fitness and other things, don’t go anywhere, just leave it to your public relations. Let's talk about it when everything calms down."

Angela glanced at Naomi, took a sip of coffee and continued: "I agree with Naomi, I saw some tabloids early this morning saying that you divorced because you and Tom are both gay. Ridiculous."

"It happened a few years ago, even from the day we got married, some people have been waiting to see us get divorced, and now their goal has been achieved." Nicole snorted lightly, but her face immediately became gloomy and uncomfortable.

Angela, who had a panoramic view, couldn't help raising her eyebrows, and said in a casual tone: "It's really not a big deal to have sex with homosexuals. Maybe the same sex understands the same sex better than the opposite sex, so it doesn't matter."

Seeing that both Nicole and Naomi looked at themselves with weird eyes, Angela, who knew that she was wrong, hurriedly shouted: "Okay, I'm joking—by the way, Naomi, when will you come to Nicole's place?" of?"

She is still very familiar with the trick of changing the subject, but Naomi hesitated for a while before opening her mouth: "Actually, I—— I have been living here for more than half a month."

"Live here all the time?" Angela was a little puzzled, "I remember you lived in the rented apartment on Raffles Street, didn't you?"

"Actually... I was evicted by the landlord half a month ago because I couldn't pay the rent," Naomi sighed, and because she had already said the words, she simply let go, "If it wasn't for Nicole to take in I, maybe I'll just have to go to a motel or even a dole house."

"How could this be?" Angela couldn't help but frowned, "I remember you already got the heroine of "50 First Dates" and you're about to start it? Why don't you tell me, I can let you pay in advance .”

"Thank you, but..." Naomi shrugged and did not continue, but Nicole took over: "She is like this, otherwise she wouldn't come to Hollywood alone, if it weren't for me, I hope she can be here Stay with me, if she didn't see my situation during this time, Nami would never live here."

Speaking of which, Nicole also put her arms around Naomi's shoulders, and patted her hand gratefully: "Thank you for your company during this time, Naomi."

"It's a pleasure to help you share some things." Naomi smiled and held Nicole's hand.

Watching all this, Angela couldn't help coughing dryly, and then stood up: "Your relationship is really good, so I won't bother you and go first, Nicole, remember to keep a happy mood, some things will pass eventually of."

After coming out of Nicole's villa, Angela breathed a sigh of relief. The reason why she came here to visit Nicole for the first time after seeing the news of the separation was because she wanted to know what happened. After all, the two divorced a few years earlier. .Although she still doesn't know the specifics of the situation, it doesn't seem like a big deal.It's just that Nicole seems very unnatural on a certain topic. Is Tom Cruise really gay?

Angela shook her head and didn't think about it. She didn't feel bad or good about Tom Cruise. The previous curse was just a joke. As Nicole's friend, she had already expressed her concern, and the rest was left to Naomi Bar.

In the next few days, there was nothing wrong with Britney and Christina - under the arrangement of the record company, they specially held a press conference, affirming that this kind of quarrel is normal, and it is this kind of quarrel that makes people feel happy. Their relationship has deepened step by step and they have a tacit understanding today. Therefore, it is slander to say that they want to disband because of rumors, and they reserve the right to sue.Coupled with the current separation of Nicole and Tom occupying the headlines, they have successfully restored their image.

But Angela still has things to worry about. Both Kate and Jessica have expressed their understanding of her decision, but that kid Lindsay is a little bit reluctant, expressing her dissatisfaction in various ways: tears, grievances , anger, etc. Unfortunately, although her acting talent is very high, it cannot be hidden from Angela's eyes.

"You said you were going to guide me in learning musical instruments, so you're going to guide me like this." After all the tricks failed, Lindsay could only say this in a dejected way, and it was obvious that she was really sad.

"Then what do I want from me? Go to Stanford instead of Harvard?" Angela jokingly pinched her face, and after the little guy made a dissatisfied grimace, she stopped smiling and continued: "I remember you are very strong , Lindsay, even when we didn't know each other, you were still an optimistic and cheerful girl. Don't you feel depressed and depressed when I leave? Who will protect your sister? Don't worry honey, even if you go to the east coast We can still get in touch, besides, it’s not like I won’t come back from now on, and don’t forget that we still have an agreement.”

Lindsay is no more difficult to coax than Willie, Ike, and Lulu, so Angela is most worried about the post-production of "Never Compromise", although I believe Steven Soderbergh's level—— She took some time to go to the film department. Although only a small part has been edited so far, Julia's performance is still very tense, and Soderbergh at work is really unusual. It is very hurried, and you may not understand it if you are a little distracted. Thinking about it, this guy was called a ghost at the beginning, and he shot movies in the style of "Kafka" and "Sexual Lies Videotape". If you plan to make a change, it is hard to say whether you will be the director of "Never Compromise".

But the problem is that Angela doesn't want to give up the final editing rights. She doesn't want the movie to go wrong, but at the same time, she promised Soderbergh that if she wants to modify some shots, she will convince him first, so how to communicate is very troublesome. Even if the company will set up a temporary studio in Boston, will Soderbergh really follow?

After discussing several times, the final solution was: every part of the edit here was sent to Boston for Angela to review, and then she communicated with Soderbergh via the Internet or videophone.

And no matter what else Angela has to do—she still wants to find time to apologize to Paris—she has to leave. You can ask someone to help you with the registration of freshmen, but can you ask someone to help you read for admission? ?So Angela, accompanied by her mother, boarded the Sky at Los Angeles International Airport and finally started her college life.

Now there is the United States after Harvard. This sentence simply summarizes the history of Harvard University. Although it does not occupy the first place in the world university rankings all the time, it takes turns to sit in the top spot with Princeton, Columbia and other universities at any time, but In the eyes of many Americans, Harvard is the number one university in the world.

But Harvard University is also worthy of this title. The long list of famous people who graduated from here is enough to make many people admire, not to mention that there are many successful people who dropped out of here, such as Gates. .

"Ah!" Angela couldn't help but sneezed. She came from the hot California to the relatively warm Massachusetts. Although the difference in temperature is not too big because it has just entered autumn, it can easily lead to life if you don't pay attention. sick.

The buildings in the broad university town are well arranged, including Gothic-style buildings with spiers more than a hundred years ago, as well as high-rise buildings with modern lines. There are professors or students walking in twos and threes on the tree-lined roads. Many people sat under the distinctive sculptures and read books. All skin colors and faces could see a small United Nations. Although it was not the first time to come here, the beautiful scenery still made Angela feel happy.

"Miss, I think we'd better go to the dormitory to put our luggage in." Bucket whispered behind him.

"Ah? Oh, of course." Looking around, Angela lowered her hat. Although she was very low-key and wore a wig when she entered the school, the two bodyguards behind her were enough to attract the attention of many people. But fortunately no one has recognized her so far, otherwise she might be watched again.

Many people don't understand why she chose Harvard, because according to Angela's situation, the Los Angeles Film School is the most likely place for her to go. After all, she has made three films as a director, and they are all excellent.In addition, Stanford may be her second choice. The reason why Angela was able to create the hard-to-break record for the youngest billionaire is closely related to the development of Silicon Valley and the IT industry. Apple, which she invested in last year, has Started to rise again.

All in all, no matter which university you go to, they will not reject a student who can win the AP National Scholar Award, let alone this student has so many achievements.But no one expected that Angela would choose Harvard in the end, and it is said that she only submitted her admission application to Harvard, which means she only went to Harvard and did not consider anything else.This is confusing to many people, saying that she doesn’t want to work in the entertainment industry anymore, but she is still directing movies during the summer vacation; she said that she might want to study business and finance due to family reasons, but she made it clear on her blog that she wants to Learn literature and art here.

"I like reading and literature, so I chose the best university in the United States." Angela explained in her blog. Of course, only she knew that Harvard had nothing to do with art. She was just for that agreement. .

"This is your dormitory for the next four years. It may not be as comfortable and convenient as your home, but I believe you will like it after a long time. You will like it, right?" The administrator is a thin middle-aged woman, About 5ft 9in and about the same height as Angela, so it makes her look like a bamboo pole, but she is nice if nagging.

"Thank you, Ms. Bramall, I think I will like it." Angela nodded with a smile.

"To be honest, there are many children of wealthy families who come to Harvard, but you gave me the best first impression." Ms. Bramall said and rang the doorbell.

"Are they all domineering?" Angela asked jokingly.

"Domineering? Of course not, my dear, this is Harvard." Bramall laughed, "Although there are a few who are very proud, most of them are polite, but most of these politeness are used to maintain distance, but you give people a very cordial and lively feeling.”

Very cordial and lively?Angela's mouth twitched and she didn't speak. The door of the room opened at this moment, and a girl with long brown hair appeared behind the door sleepily: "Theresa? What's wrong?"

"Last night again, Benita?" Bramall shook his head. "How many times have I told you that it's not good for your health."

"Okay, Teresa, you didn't knock on my door to say that, did you?" Although the girl named Benita rolled her eyes, the smile on her face after she woke up never disappeared.

"If you continue like this, there will be more than a little freckles on your face." Bramall said bluntly.

Benita screamed and covered her face, looking at Bramall with exasperation: "You curse me like that!"

"You'll know if it's a curse. Let's get out of the way now. Don't block the door like a mountain." Ms. Bramall waved her hand as if to say something trivial, and Angela couldn't help but snort Laughed out, these two are so funny.

"This is the freshman who is going to live in today?" Benita noticed Angela's existence at this time, looked up and down and then stretched out her hand: "Hello, I'm Benita Elton, 21 years old , third-year medical student, nice to meet you."

"I'm Angela Mason, a freshman at Radcliffe College. I'm 18 years old. Nice to meet you." Angela shook hands with her. Although she had only been in touch for a few minutes, she already liked this carefree girl. Benita wasn't pretty but she was good-looking, and a few freckles on her cheeks only made her look cute.

"Please come in first." Benita took a few steps inside, then seemed to think of something, then turned her head to look at the two bodyguards following Angela, and finally opened her mouth to call out.

Angela quickly raised her finger on her lips to make a "shh" gesture, and after Benita closed her mouth, she took off her hat and wig, shook her waterfall-like blond hair and shrugged: " I'm sorry, but I just want to keep a low profile—at least for today's admission."

Benita nodded understandingly, then involuntarily raised her hands and gestured to her head.

"What's wrong?" Angela touched her head inexplicably.

"Ah! I'm so sorry," Benita blushed after realizing what she was doing. "I didn't mean to offend you. I just... always thought that geniuses should have slightly larger heads than ordinary people."

Angela couldn't help but be a bit dumbfounded: "I remember you said that you are a student of medical school, besides, Einstein's head is not necessarily much bigger than ordinary people, and there are many people with disproportionate heads and bodies in the world, and I don't see you. Gotta be geniuses."

"Oh, I'm from the School of Dental Medicine." Benita stuck out her tongue with a smile, "Okay, okay, I apologize again."

"Well, ladies, will you please come and talk in the drawing room?" Miss Bramall had to interrupt their conversation.

The two girls both laughed and walked inside together. The room is not very big, it belongs to the layout of two bedrooms and one living room, a bit like the one where Chandler and Joey lived in "Friends", even smaller, but according to As the Chinese saying goes, although a sparrow is small, it has all five internal organs. Whether it is the living room, the bathroom, or the balcony and the two bedrooms, it is bright and tidy. It can be seen that Benita is good at cleaning the room.

Although the space is much smaller than the one at home, and all the utensils are rough, Angela still finds it very novel, a bit like being released after being locked up for 18 years.

"Here is the key to the room. You will live together in the future. I hope you can live in harmony." Ms. Bramall handed the silver key to Angela. "Is there anything else I can do for you? For example——"

She pointed to the vacant bedroom.

"Thank you, no, I can do it myself." Angela politely declined her offer, then signaled the two bodyguards to put down the luggage, and went outside to get the rest from the car.

"Then do you want my help?" Benita asked curiously looking at Angela who was starting to unpack her luggage.

"No need, I'm not a spoiled lady, Bernie." Angela raised her head and smiled slightly.
