Through the VIP passage at JFK Airport, Eric, who only brought two entourage, got directly into the car that came to pick him up.

Waiting for the car to start, Kapoor, who was sitting next to Eric, spoke: "Miss Pakula took on an action movie from Universal, she played a female agent of the FBI, Charlie told me that when Miss Pakula took on this movie, she asked the heroine to finish filming within a month, and Universal extended her daily working hours in order to adapt to this condition......"

Eric nodded briefly, interrupting Kapoor, "Kapoor, you know I don't care about that. ”

Kapoor paused before saying: "She only fainted because she was overworked while pregnant, which caused low blood sugar, and the doctor has already done a checkup, it's not a big deal, she just needs to rest well" ......" After hesitating, Kapoor added: "The child is fine." ”

Eric finally took a deep breath and leaned back in his chair relaxedly.

Looking at Eric's reaction, Capper tentatively asked, "Eric, what are you going to do?"

"Let Charlie Walker take over all Joan's work, and you will take care of it yourself, but don't give her any more work until the baby is born. Also, the Universal movie was pushed off, and I'd call Michael Eisner to discuss it. ”

Kapoor seemed to want to ask something, but in the end he didn't say it, although the two were good friends, the matter was too private after all. However, Capper still felt a little strange that Eric had accepted the child so easily, and he thought that Eric had come back in such a hurry to do the exact opposite.

Half an hour later. The car came to the door of a private clinic in Manhattan's East Neighborhood. Eric looked through the window of his car and saw that the clinic was already crowded with reporters armed with long guns and short guns. There was no surprise. "Tornado" is still being released worldwide, and after more than three months, the North American box office has easily exceeded $300 million, and the overseas box office is also rising.

The security guard opened the door of the clinic, and Eric and the others drove in without getting out of the car.

"Not many people know about it. In addition to Charlie and Miss Pakula's assistant, there are only the director and a few employees who sent Miss Pakula here, oh, and the attending doctor of this clinic," Kapoor said to Eric as the car entered the door, "We won't leak it out, I also signed a non-disclosure agreement with this clinic in the morning, but over there, you'd better communicate with Michael Eisner." ”

Eric nodded, but he could imagine that Michael Eisner might have given a gag order to the crew on Universal's side. Leaking this matter out will not do the world any good, and it will not cause much damage to itself. And blocking the news can sell oneself a favor.

"This is Dr. Robert Bean," the group walked into the clinic, and Kapoor introduced Eric to a middle-aged man in a white lab coat in his forties.

"Hello, Dr. Bean," Eric politely held out his hand to the other.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Williams," Robert Bean shook hands with Eric and gestured down the hallway, "Please come with me, Mr. Williams, Miss Pakula over there."

Across the hallway, the group walked down the stairs to the second floor, and several people sitting on the benches outside the ward saw Eric appear and quickly got up and walked over.

Charlie Walker, who was clearly wearing dark circles among the people, was the first to speak: "Mr. Williams, I'm really sorry. ”

Eric knew that Joanna must have concealed this from Charlie Walker, and he didn't mean to embarrass the agent, so he patted the other party on the shoulder before saying to everyone, "I'll talk to Joan first." ”

Pushing open the door, Eric saw a brown-haired girl with a ponytail sitting on the edge of a hospital bed, chatting quietly with Joanna, when both women turned their heads when they heard the door knock.

"You go out first," Eric said to the brown-haired girl, remembering that it was Joanna's personal assistant, but not remembering the other person's name.

The brown-haired girl hummed, hung her little head and hurriedly walked out of the room, the moment Joanna on the hospital bed saw Eric, her eyes obviously became flustered, and she reached out and gently pulled the quilt, covering most of her face, as if she wanted to hide the whole person.

Seeing Joanna's movements, Eric sighed with some pity and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Eric...... Joanna squealed in a low voice, watching Eric's expression worriedly.

Eric reached out to help Joanna cut the messy hair at the corner of her forehead, and when she saw the woman's small movements, she sighed again, "Why didn't you tell me sooner, Joan, that you don't have faith in me so much?"

"No, it's not," Joanna seemed relieved to feel Eric's gentle little movements, and shook her head slightly, "No, it's not, it's just...... Just Vicky said, said ......"

"It doesn't seem like a good idea to get you together," Eric could almost imagine what Virginia would say, shrugging helplessly, Virginia had been in Hollywood for too long, and was used to seeing the separation and integration of stars, coupled with her own relatively independent personality, so she didn't have much confidence and dependence on relationships and men. When Eric gets along with Virginia, although women always follow him, he can often feel Virginia's very casual attitude, as if after the two of them have a night of happiness, he will completely disappear from her life the next moment, and Virginia will not make a fuss.

Hearing Eric complain like this, Joanna seemed at a loss again.

Eric reached out and took Joanna's small hand, patted it soothingly, and said, "Joan, remember what I told you the night I went to San Francisco two years ago?"

Joanna was stunned, remembering some scenes from that night, her face turned red at first, and she wanted to glare at Eric with Virginia's expression, but in the end she just lowered her eyes and nodded slightly.

"I'm not joking with you that night, so don't worry about giving birth to the baby, I'll bring it up with you." ”

"But. Joanna raised her head with some concern: "You ......"

"If you're not at ease. I can hold a press conference right now. Announcing that I was going to be a father. ”

Hearing this, Joanna was finally relieved, what she was most worried about was that Eric refused to admit the child, or kept hiding the identity of the child from the outside world, if this is the case, the child will definitely not have a good growth environment, because if a child wants to grow up healthily, it is definitely not enough to have material security.

"Eric. As long as you accept this child, forget about the press conference, I don't want it to be noticed by the media so early. ”

Eric saw that Joanna finally showed a relieved expression on her face, and he also relaxed: "Okay, you can do what you say, now you are the biggest." ”

Joanna smiled lightly, a little sweet, and stroked her abdomen through the quilt, with a little jerky coquettishness: "Eric, I'm hungry." ”

"What do you want to eat. I'll do it for you myself. ”

"You're not making a good meal. ”

"Uh, okay. I'm going to call your assistant in, and you can get her whatever she wants, and I'm going to talk to the doctor and Kapoor about something. ”

Joanna nodded, and then said, "Eric, my shot in that movie will be done in a week, and I'm going to ......"

"To hell with the movie, you can take care of the baby in peace and leave the rest to me. ”

Joanna looked at Eric about to get up and leave, she struggled slightly, she wanted to enjoy Eric's spoiling at this moment alone, but she felt that she shouldn't be so selfish, in the end, Joanna still took Eric's hand: "Eric, Vicky is also filming, in Philadelphia." ”

The woman Eric felt seemed to be a little nervous, and took Joanna's little hand and said soothingly: "Well, I know, when she finishes filming, I will ask her to be your nanny, and by the way, I will sew up her little mouth that talks nonsense." ”

"No, I didn't mean that, I mean ......" Joanna looked up at Eric and shook the corners of her lips slightly before she made up her mind, "I mean, she's pregnant too." ”

"Ah......h

……

Philadelphia is less than two hours away from New York, Eric arrived in New York near noon, and after getting the news from Joanna, he had to rush to Philadelphia immediately, although the pregnancy of two women at the same time made Eric feel a little surprised, but Joanna was already lying in the hospital bed, Eric didn't want another woman to have an accident.

As Virginia's agent, Capper also sat in the car in Philadelphia with Eric, and was talking to Eric about Virginia filming a movie at this time: "I contacted, Virginia's crew is now filming on Vine Street in Old Town Philadelphia, we can go straight over." This is a feature film from Carlock Films, and the script I personally talked about has some thriller elements, but there are certainly no thrilling scenes. ”

Eric nodded reassuringly.

In this era, there was no GPS navigation, and after arriving in Philadelphia, Eric and the others took a while to find their destination, and after getting out of the car, they walked into the set under the leadership of the crew members, and were almost shocked by the scene being filmed.

In the center of the set, surrounded by crew members, a two-story bus was parked on the side of the road, and a sponge mat was placed on the ground on the right side of the vehicle. Virginia, dressed in a red dress, was standing on the roof of the bus with her back to Eric and Capper, and her voice was hoarse with the middle-aged man who was sitting on a raised boom and controlling the camera: "Mr. Pine, absolutely this time, I won't fall a second time anyway, if you don't shoot well, use a stand-in next time." ”

The middle-aged man who was adjusting the camera was also a cheerful person, and waved his hand decisively: "Don't worry, Miss Madsen, I will control the camera myself, and there will be no mistakes, okay, all departments pay attention, the actors are buried, and the scene is ......."

Eric resisted the urge to rub the corners of his forehead, standing on the roof of the car, is a certain little girl really pregnant, this is too out of tune, although it will not be wrong to fall from a two-meter-high place on a one-meter-thick sponge mat.

But you're pregnant!

But it's a pregnant woman!

It's pregnant!

O pregnant woman!

Does this count as child abuse?

While a series of complaints were floating in his heart, Eric couldn't help but shout loudly: "Cut!"

“……”

Everyone was stunned, and the middle-aged man sitting on the crane arm had already squinted his eyes and looked at this side, and roared: "Who is that, you haven't started shouting Cut yet, you don't want to do it, do you?"

Virginia, who was standing on the roof of the bus and was ready, heard this voice, turned her head to look at it with some surprise, and when she saw Eric, she immediately shook everyone off, got off the roof of the bus along the escalator next to her, and ran towards Eric.

"Kapoor, I'll take care of the rest," Eric said to Kapoor as he watched Virginia approach, then took the woman's small hand with a dark face and walked out.

In fact, he wants to pull his ears more...... (To be continued......)
