Chapter 163: Making a Little Movie?
520 apartments.
"I disagree!"
When Monica heard this, she blew up directly, pointed at Adam and said, "You cheat!"
"Don't get excited, dear. ”
Monica's boyfriend, Uncle Beard, Dr. Richard, hurriedly reassured.
"Hi Richard. ”
Adam greeted him with a smile.
"Hi, Adam. ”
Uncle Richard also responded with a smile and gave an apologetic look.
"Monica, don't get excited. ”
Adam smiled: "Rachel took the initiative to invite me, not me who planned this, so in this way, our bet is voided, and it can be considered a tie, right?"
"No way!"
Monica shook her head and said, "Without you, I don't believe Rachel would dare to be a bridesmaid, so we won the bet." ”
Two years ago, when Rachel appeared at the Central Park Cafe in her wedding dress, Monica lost $500 to Adam, and then she made a bet with Adam that Rachel and Barry would never appear together in church again.
First he bet on $500, then raised to $1,000, and finally wanted to raise but was stopped by the cautious Rose, so the bet was $1,000 for two years.
It's been exactly two years now, and time is fine.
And with the 'disaster from heaven' that Mindy invited Rachel to be a bridesmaid, the outcome of the bet depends on whether Rachel dares to go.
Monica naturally knew that Rachel was going to go, but she still decided in her heart that she wanted to take a gamble.
It's not a gamble to lose.
Besides, she really didn't believe that Rachel would dare to go.
Monica, a gambler with an explosive competitive spirit, is not even willing to accept a draw.
"Monica!"
Rachel looked at her in disbelief and exclaimed, "You're betting on something like this?"
"I'm sorry. ”
Monica glanced at Rachel apologetically, but then looked up at Adam: "The bet still has to go on, and you, as the one who bet, can't interfere unless you admit defeat." ”
"Okay. ”
Adam and the scrappy Monica looked at each other and nodded, "I admit defeat." ”
"Do you throw in the towel?
Monica was stunned for a moment, then jumped up and laughed, "Haha, I won!
"This time you won. ”
Adam took out the checkbook from his wallet, wrote a check for $1,000 and handed it to Monica, laughing, "But next time you won't be so lucky." ”
"You're going too far. ”
Rachel angrily said, "Don't you see that Adam is letting you?"
"I know. ”
Monica took the check, kissed it, and said apologetically, "But he can hold on, so theoretically I won."
Rachel, I'm sorry, I lost to him once last time, I don't want to lose again, or I'll go crazy. ”
At this point, she waved a check and shouted, "I'll treat everyone to a big dinner tomorrow night!"
“yeah!”
Joey immediately responded with cheers, and when he saw that everyone was looking at him, he smiled and said, "I'm helping Adam, I'm going to help him eat the money back." ”
"Thank you. ”
Adam smiled and patted Joey on the shoulder.
Monica is such a person, she is too competitive, and when she was a child, she was able to hack her brother Ross, let alone Adam, in order to win.
"What are you doing tonight, dressed so formally?"
Chandler wondered.
"There's a party. ”
Adam explained, "I'm not going to apply for Columbia medical school, Leonard took me to meet some people. ”
"Leonard took you there?"
Uncle Richard was surprised: "It seems that he is really good to you, he used to hate this kind of occasion the most." ”
That's right!
Richard also knew Leonard because he was also a doctor and was good friends with Monica's parents, with whom he had previously lived in a neighborhood.
"Of course. ”
Monica snuggled up to Richard, who could really be her father, and teased: "It's not once or twice that Ross is jealous of this." ”
"Not to mention Rose. ”
Rachel chimed in, "Even I suspect that Adam is my parents' own." ”
"Hey, Richard, aren't you a doctor too? Why didn't you go to this party?"
Joey wondered.
"Ahem. ”
Chandler coughed heavily.
"What's wrong? Uncomfortable?"
Joey didn't take Chandler's hint for a moment, and said with a concerned face.
"I'm a doctor, but I run my own clinic and don't usually go to these kinds of gatherings. ”
Richard smiled.
"There are so many doctors in New York, if they all go, it won't be messed up. ”
Monica glared at Joey and spoke for her beloved boyfriend.
"That's right. ”
Adam rounded the game and said, "Besides, Richard wants to be with Monica more than going to a boring party, doesn't he?"
"Of course. ”
Richard saw Monica looking up at him, and quickly smiled dotingly.
Monica was so intoxicated that the curvature of the corners of her mouth couldn't be controlled at all.
As an uncle's father, she really loves Richard, a good friend of her father, her good uncle, and her perfect boyfriend now.
If it weren't for Adam's repeated reminders, she would have really wanted to accede to Richard's request to make some commemorative videos.
Doing anything with the person she loves the most is happy, and she wants to marry him now, what's the big deal about making a small videotape movie?
But Adam's repeated words kept popping back into her mind.
What if?
Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.
What if she breaks up with him, and meets someone she loves deeply in the future and sees this videotape, what will the other party think?
She felt that this possibility was too small and did not take it to heart.
But if it accidentally spreads like Adam said, and is seen by all acquaintances and even parents, it will be a shame.
You know, her parents and Richard are good friends, and they often come and go, so the chance of accidentally seeing them is really not small.
Phoebe made a small movie because of her twin sisters, and what happened after being recognized is still vivid.
She doesn't want to be such an 'actress'.
Adam looked at this scene and shook his head in his heart.
Richard is in his fifties this year, and Monica is only in her twenties, which is really the age difference between father and daughter, or the kind of late marriage and late childbearing.
In another ten years, Monica will still be in her prime, and Richard will be a completely bad old man, in this country that values the unspeakable, what future will there be between the two?
To say how good Richard is, he is also just an ophthalmologist, and he is at the bottom of the chain of contempt in the medical system, far inferior to Leonard.
The only thing that explains all this is that he has a special charisma.
Rachel and Phoebe thought so, as did Joey and Chandler, who at one point had learned from Richard to wear a beard to imitate him as a cigar.
This is a financially free and charismatic old man!
Monica's appearance is not unique.
Adam attended a banquet in the past two years, and met a female writer who is very good at interpreting the relationship between men and women, just like a female singer in the future, who uses books and songs to dissect her ex-boyfriend.
She is so experienced in a hundred battles, she still can't resist the temptation of the charming old man nicknamed the big man, and she has been in pain several times.
Of course, Adam, who had studied psychology, secretly speculated that she might have done it on purpose.
Because in this way, you can taste the lingering feelings and luxurious atmosphere.
The other party is a billionaire in the upper class, and for the target group who yearns for wealth and love who read her books, he is simply a male god-like male protagonist.
They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and the natural way to play is to talk about fasting.
Adam didn't give the writer a chance to get close at all.
He didn't want to be the hero of a certain book, and all kinds of bed privacy were exposed to everyone.
Even if he is said to be the greatest man of the ages, it is not enough.
