Chapter 211: Self-defeating
Looking at Rupert Murdoch, who was not yet sixty years old, across the street, Eric's deepest impression of the media mogul was undoubtedly from the eavesdropping scandal in his previous life. Perhaps because of the eavesdropping scandal, the media in my memory chose photos of the other party's more wolf bèi, but at this time Murdoch was in high spirits, with a small amount of hair neatly combed, rimless glasses, and an amiable smile on the corner of his mouth.
When Eric looked at the other party, the elder Murdoch was also scrutinizing the young man who was less than twenty years old opposite. The process didn't last a few seconds, and two people reached out at the same time.
"Hello, Mr. Murdoch, I'm Eric Williams. Although the other party must have seen himself in the photo, out of the courtesy of meeting for the first time, Eric introduced himself.
Murdoch shook Erik's hand, βthen turned to Aniston: "This must be the beautiful Miss Jennifer Aniston, and your performance in it is amazing." β
It was the first time that she had been praised so much in front of her boyfriend, and Aniston showed a slightly shy expression and reached out to shake the other party: "Thank you, Mr. Murdoch." β
As Eric and Aniston greeted Barry Diller, the elder Murdoch winked at his daughter.
Elizabeth looked at the intimate couple in front of her, and couldn't help but feel a little surprised. When she realized what she was eating, Elizabeth became even more uncomfortable.
But soon, the girl finds a reason for her love, and she feels that she is holding on to Julia's grievances. On the plane the other day. She had seen Eric sleep comfortably on Julia's lap. Wait for that guy to wake up. Julia, whose legs were numb, sat on the couch for a long time before she recovered. Julia was so good to him, but in the past few days back in Los Angeles, she hasn't seen this guy take the initiative to contact Julia, and now she's showing up with another woman kissing me and me, what a jerk.
"Hi Liz, you're pretty today," Eric said to Barry Diller. before turning to Elizabeth.
"Hello, Mr. Williams," Elizabeth reached out and shook Eric's hand lightly, looking like she wanted to keep her distance. Immediately, the girl showed a bright smile and intimately pulled Aniston beside Eric: "Hello, Miss Aniston, my name is Elizabeth, wow, your dress is so beautiful." Let's go, I'll take you inside. β
Elizabeth said. Pulling Aniston to himself, he walked in, and the little girl glanced at Eric inquiringly, although Eric felt that Elizabeth had some bad intentions, otherwise the other party would not have specifically mentioned Aniston's dress, but on this occasion, Eric was also sure that Elizabeth would not be too rude, so he nodded at Aniston, and the little girl was obediently pulled away by Elizabeth.
The daughter's actions were completely opposite to her previous explanation, which made the old Murdoch a little angry, but helpless.
Although Murdoch is busy with his career, he does not pay much attention to his children, because he is almost sixty years old, and although Westerners always refuse to accept old age, they must also think about a successor for his media empire. Compared with the eldest daughter who has no intention of career and the two younger sons, who are still very unsuccessful, Elizabeth is undoubtedly the best in ability, and the girl has successfully established a small local cable television station when she is in school. It's just that Elizabeth's personality is both stubborn and proud, and she always likes to work against him as a father in many things.
Seeing that his daughter greeted Eric lightly, and pulled the figure of the other party's girlfriend away, Murdoch had no choice but to say to Eric: "Sorry, Eric, Liz is still a little ignorant, let's go in." β
"Of course it doesn't matter, Mr. Murdoch, but I still like Miss Elizabeth's frank personality. Eric said politely, and the three of them walked towards the villa where the pie was held.
There were already about twenty guests in the villa, and as time went on, more people came. In addition to the cast and crew, Fox invited a number of Hollywood stars to the show.
Although Murdoch has been dragged by Eric in the past few days, it is impossible for Eric to pull the other party to talk about things as soon as he arrives, so after chatting with Eric in the villa for a few marginal words and instructing him to enjoy the pie, Murdoch and Barry Diller went to entertain other guests as if nothing happened.
Eric took a moment to look through the crowd and quickly found Aniston, taking a breath. Elizabeth's little girl is definitely deliberate, look at the girls who seem to be talking and laughing together, Julia Robert, Brooke Littles, Gabriel, and even Nicole Kidman have appeared.
Take a closer look, oh my God, and Drew, isn't Little Nizi supposed to be in boarding school?
Seeing this, Eric hurriedly turned around without a trace, intending to stay away, but Nicole who happened to be facing him grabbed the figure.
Moments later, a woman in a black pencil skirt and high heels appeared next to Eric, who was hiding in the crowd.
"Good evening, Eric," the girl leaned over to Eric, less than thirty centimeters from Eric, and gently raised the red wine in her hand. It is said that the intimate distance between people is within 45 centimeters, and the maximum distance between people is more than 45 centimeters. The girl would definitely not know this theory, the reason why she came so close to Eric was probably completely self-taught, and sure enough, the girl's movements made several people around her involuntarily look at her and Eric a few more times.
Of course, Eric didn't know the theory about 45 centimeters, but he instinctively felt uncomfortable, and subconsciously took a small step back before asking, "Nicole, why are you here?"
Nicole noticed Eric's backward movement, revealing a slightly resentful look, but she didn't dare to lean forward again, explaining, "I'm also Australian." β
Eric quickly pulled out some memories of the Hollywood Gang of Australia, which is said to be the most united group in Hollywood. However, it is still the late 80s, and the Australian gang is certainly not in sight, and the representatives of the Australian gang such as Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Nicole in front of him are still unknown. So he was sure that Nicole's presence here had nothing to do with her being Australians with the Murdoch family.
Although the girl didn't tell the truth, Eric could still guess something, remembering that Gabriel could be a fish in water in Hollywood with his own little rumors, but as a newcomer, he could get the role of the second female in a movie. So with Nicole's identity as the heroine of his next movie, coupled with the scheming and means to blow up Gabriel's streets, although there is no work in Hollywood now, it will definitely be beautiful.
Thinking about this, Eric didn't mean to dig deeper, he didn't care how Nicole played tricks, as long as he knew the current affairs in front of him.
"Nicole, you ...... What were you talking about?" Eric gestured to where the girls had just come together.
The girl chuckled, with an appropriate but not overly teasing look on her face, "Don't worry, Eric, no one is talking about Miss Aniston's dress, we talked about some, well, things, that's the theme for tonight." Also, it's you, the second lady of the Murdoch family is quite concerned about you. β
After saying the last sentence, Nicole blinked narrowly.
Eric couldn't help but take a sip of red wine to hide the embarrassment on his face before asking, "Is there anything else?"
"No," Nicole shook her head, then whispered seductively, "But, you won't be able to get into someone's bed tonight, Eric, or go to me?"
"You're really ill-intentioned," Eric narrowed his eyes slightly and glanced at the girl, Aniston usually has an ostrich mentality about his fancy scandals, so many women who have a lot of relationship with him appeared in front of her tonight, Xiao δΈ¨ Niu must be very troubled in her heart, if she dares to leave her at this time to spend the night with other women, then wait for a storm.
"Really, am I the kind of bad woman in your heart?" Nicole glared at Eric dissatisfied, and if it hadn't happened to catch the girl's slightly flickering gaze, Eric would have almost really thought that the other party had said that sentence unintentionally.
"Do me a favor, Nicole," Eric said after a moment's thought.
Seeing the girl's look of interest, Eric continued: "Go and help me take care of Jane, Jane is simple-minded, you will be able to make her happy easily." β
"Ahh β
Eric glanced at the girl, and said in a solemn tone: "Don't refuse, and one more thing, be optimistic about Drew, don't let the two of them make trouble." β
Whenever I think of the two girls fighting, Eric has palpitations, and the two Nizi fight with a certain atavism, which is commonly said to like to scratch people with small claws, and if they catch their faces, it will be miserable.
Nicole had been in Eric's villa for so long, and she knew Drew's perverse and changeable personality very clearly, that little girl was not much worse than herself, if she really got into trouble with Aniston's tenacious girl, where could she stop it, thinking of these girls shaking her head again, with a bitter face and a faint pleading in her tone: "It's too hard, Eric." β
Eric took a sip of red wine casually, and said in a flat but unquestionable tone: "Go ahead, if the two of them make a fuss tonight, you don't have to act." β
Nicole could hear that Eric was not joking, and lamented in her heart that I had provoked someone, but she didn't dare to rub it any longer, turned around and stepped on her little leather shoes and walked away quickly. (To be continued......)
