Hollywood Secret Garden

As the sky swallows the last rays of the sun, New York, shrouded in night, begins to exude an alternative charm.The colorful advertising lights, the continuous flow of cars, the noisy crowds coming and going, everything declares how colorful the nightlife in New York is.

The car stopped on the side of the street, and after the door opened, a slender and slightly petite figure stepped down and smiled at the man who just got out of the car and wanted to open the door for her.The man who lost his chance had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and send her to the door.

"Let's go here, thank you for sending me back, Warrier, what a pleasant evening." The woman said with a smile, "It's a pleasure to have dinner with you."

"That's what a gentleman should do," said the man named Worrier with a smile. "It's a pleasure to have dinner with you, Natalie."

He stared into Natalie's eyes, and leaned slightly as if he wanted to kiss her, but Natalie immediately leaned back and said calmly, "Then good night, see you later."

Noticing the look in her eyes, Worrier couldn't help but smiled: "Okay, good night."

He kept watching Natalie enter the room, then raised his hands and turned to walk to his car.

"Reserved girl..." Worrier got into the car and started the engine and muttered depressingly. It took him several months to get an appointment with this famous and talented woman who is known for her unique personality. , but I didn't expect that not only did I not have a chance to kiss Fangze, but I didn't even hold hands after the whole night.

The slightly drawn curtains were lowered as the car departed.Natalie stood in front of the window in a daze for a while, then suddenly turned around and hurried to the kitchen, opened the cupboard, took out a bottle of wine, poured a glass, and then drank it with her head up.The spicy liquid flowed down her throat, and she choked several times because of the rush.

Even so, Natalie still poured another glass for herself without hesitation, raised her head and drank it down again, repeated this three times, and she stopped panting after pouring herself three glasses.

"Damn it..." Natalie, who crawled on the table with her head buried between her arms, cursed in a low voice, her body trembling slightly, as if she was indescribably frustrated and helpless.

It had been almost three years, and she thought she would soon forget about that person after a short, intense pain and start a new normal relationship.But as time went by, she discovered that that person had been deeply rooted in her heart, making it impossible for her to escape.As she often said in the past, she was attracted to the other party somehow, and she couldn't get rid of it.

In the past three years, Natalie tried her best to forget that person. She tried to associate with men and go to lesbian bars, but every time she either felt disgusted or didn't feel it.That person has been haunting her heart like a ghost, and sometimes as soon as she closes her eyes, that pale, godless face, that figure staggering out of the door, will emerge.

"I'm right! I just made a decision that ordinary people can make! Look at her, look at her current scandal, she has never paid attention to it!" Natalie has faced the mirror more than once The self in Li growled so low.

However, these are of no avail, she can maintain her intellectual appearance in front of others; she can chuckle after subconsciously seeing reports related to that person; Ren's new lover turned a blind eye to her provocation; but she couldn't stop the resentment, sadness and sadness that couldn't be contained in her heart after waking up in the middle of the night.

"You bastard...I shouldn't be like this...you bastard..." Natalie came to the bedroom dejectedly holding the wine bottle and covering her forehead. She gave up the wine glass and poured it into the mouth of the bottle.

Although Natalie sometimes drank some alcoholic beverages, it was the first time that she drank without restraint like this.Today she tried to date a man again, but the disgust she could never get rid of, the shadow that appeared in front of her eyes at any time became the last straw that crushed her.

What Natalie is most proud of is her calmness and reason. She believes that as long as she has enough calmness and reason, no matter how big setbacks and blows she encounters, she will survive and get better.In fact, this precocious personality has indeed helped her a lot since she was a child, but it can't help her at all.

"You bastard..." Natalie lay on her back on the bed, her hands dropped and rolled aside with the empty wine bottle.She closed her eyes drowsily under the anesthesia of alcohol, and then, something shiny slipped from the corner of her eyes.

The bright sunshine in the morning came in through the window, and it made people feel itchy when printed on the face. The girl lying on the bed moved her eyelids and opened her eyes in a daze.Then she moaned and covered her forehead, the feeling of hangover made her head almost explode.

Fortunately, this feeling finally passed after a few minutes. Natalie moved her body a little stiffly, and sat up from the bed with some difficulty.She stretched out her hand to block the sunlight and glanced around. She smiled wryly. Not only did she not wash her clothes last night, she didn’t even take off her clothes and she didn’t even draw the curtains. She just pulled the quilt around her body and fell asleep. ?

Natalie sighed and looked at the time, then her wry smile grew stronger. She got out of bed and staggered into the bathroom to examine herself in the mirror.With disheveled hair and a face with almost no blood, there is an indescribable sense of decadence.

She shook her head, took off her clothes and turned on the nozzle. After the hot water rustled on her naked body, Natalie held her face again and let out a few imperceptible sobs.

Soon, Natalie finished her shower, looking much more refreshed after taking a shower.After tidying up, tidying up the room, and making a simple breakfast for herself, she sat down in the living room and flipped through her memo.Most of the files inside are various film invitations organized by her agent for her, including commercial films and independent films.But the most important thing is the agent's message. If she doesn't accept the movie again, she will fade out of the public eye.

Natalie hasn't acted in another film since her final appearance in the Star Wars prequels.Everything in this circle will remind her of that person easily, and there are news about that person everywhere, and people will talk about it inadvertently.For this reason, Natalie went to Israel for two years in the name of advanced studies, but as long as she wanted to perform and stay in the entertainment circle, she had to face that person at any time.

Or give up and quit.Such a thought suddenly appeared in my mind.Natalie put down the memo with a slight sigh.Parents have actually seen something. They once said to themselves that if they are unhappy or dissatisfied, then they should give up acting. Anyway, she does not necessarily rely on acting to make a living. They support any decision she makes.At that time, Natalie was still a little bit unwilling, but now it seems that her parents' advice should be the best.

Perhaps, quitting the entertainment industry, and then becoming a university lecturer or studying some psychology, and living this life alone is the best choice for me.Natalie thought silently.

At this moment, the doorbell rang suddenly, and Natalie was taken aback. Today is the weekend and according to her arrangement, no one should come to visit her at this time.She opened the door with doubts and was stunned. Standing outside was a slightly petite woman with short brown hair and a neat suit. Her expressionless face looked quite cold, but the corner of her mouth hung The faintly sneering sneer made people very uncomfortable.

"Long time no see, Nat, can we talk?" The other party asked calmly, but there was a condescending taste in his tone.

"What's the matter?" Natalie frowned slightly, she knew the woman in front of her, she was that person's personal... well, Angela's personal assistant.Although they met several times before, they were not very familiar with each other. Why did she come to her home?Could it be... Natalie frowned even deeper.

"If you don't mind, I want to go in and talk, is that okay?" The sneer at the corner of the other party's mouth and the condescending feeling became more obvious.

Instead, Natalie relaxed, and moved sideways out of the aisle: "Please come in."

After Alizee sat on the sofa, she asked, "Would you like something to drink?"

"Just a cup of coffee is fine." Alizee raised her hand and raised her hand reservedly. This gesture, which resembled someone, caused Natalie to be in a daze for a while, as if she was in Angela's grandfather's manor at this time. Be a guest, not in your own cottage rental on Long Island.

Fortunately, she immediately came back to her senses, casually made a cup of coffee and brought it in front of Alizee.

"The coffee is very fragrant." Alizee said after tasting it, and then looked around: "This room is well furnished, concise and clear, and it fits your personality very well."

Natalie raised her eyebrows, what are you talking about?It's obviously instant coffee, how come it becomes very fragrant?The layout of this room has not changed since the lease, so how can it match my personality?

"Lily—can I call you that? Thank you, can I ask you directly, what is the purpose of you coming to my house and saying such a thing?" Natalie got straight to the point.

Alizee didn't answer, she just sipped her coffee and stared at Natalie's face until she became a little impatient before saying word by word: "Then, please tell me the truth, Nat, Have you thought about Angie over the years?"

Natalie's body trembled slightly, but she controlled herself in time: "Sorry, I didn't hear clearly, can you repeat it?"

"I want to know, have you thought about Angie over the past few years?" Alizee still repeated word by word, staring at her without blinking.
