Until Eric, Famick and Nicole washed up and went downstairs together, the other three women were still asleep.

Nicole and the others are about the same size as Eric, and they are both wearing Eric's white shirt and jeans at this time, plus Eric's same outfit, the three of them look not a couple's outfit but better than a couple's outfit.

The Russian twins, who were sitting on the sofa by the curtain wall, saw the three Eric appear, and quickly stood up and said to Eric in unison: "Boss." ”

Over the past few months, Eric has become accustomed to the twins' cold expressions, and he has gradually realized that this is just a state of self-protection for the two girls in an unfamiliar environment, and this may not be the case. Glancing at the Sony Walkman and the thick Russian-English dictionary on the coffee table in front of the twins, Eric understood that the two girls were learning English, so he waved his hand and said, "Go on, by the way, have you had lunch?"

The twins were wearing the same light blue fleece and khaki trousers, and I don't know if the older sister or the younger sister replied: "Have you eaten, boss, do you need us to help you cook?"

Eric shook his head, motioned for the two girls to go about their business, and led Nicole and Famick towards the kitchen, he still didn't understand how to tell the twins apart, he had suggested that the two girls wear different colors, but Niko insisted that the twins wear exactly the same clothes, claiming that it was funny.

Nicole followed Eric and walked to a distance where the twins couldn't hear before she turned her head to look, tugged at Eric's sleeve and asked, "Are they really boxers?"

Eric nodded, "yes." ”

Famic also said at this time: "I can't see it at all, but my figure is quite suitable for being a model." ”

Eric smiled and said to Famik, "Don't you like boxing once in a while, you can try it with them." “

Famick sensed that Eric's smile was a little bad. With a little vigilance. "Have you tried?"

Eric raised his hand and pointed to the corner of his right eye, "It's been hurting here for days." ”

The two girls imagined Eric eating deflated. They all laughed deliciously, and Famick also said: "Oh, I remember, in August, I came back to see you, your eyes are still a little blue, I thought it was because you were not in a good state of mind at that time, and the dark circles under your eyes after insomnia, it turned out that you were beaten." ”

Nicole followed suit and asked, "Hey." Did you eat them?"

Eric shook his head with a look of 'regret' and said with a smile: "I can't beat it, my body is only pushed back by them." ”

Nicole raised her small fist and hammered it on Eric's shoulder, and her tone was coquettish: "You know how to bully us." ”

"No wonder you didn't carry them to the bedroom last night," Famick Jensen echoed, and the three of them walked through the hall to the kitchen on the west side of the first floor of the villa, pushed the door in, and Famic suddenly remembered and said with a smile: "By the way, it seems that there is one less person." That's Penny's sister. Why did you forget her last night?"

As soon as the words ended, the three of them saw Monica Cruze standing by the refrigerator in the kitchen, holding a bottle of ketchup in her hand, and she was a little overwhelmed. Monica has been in the United States for almost half a year, and daily English communication has long been no problem, and the girl just heard the last sentence of Famick Jensen, and looked at the three people dressed exactly the same, and easily thought of what was happening. Last night she was sleeping in a room with her sister, Eric suddenly broke in, the girl was surprised and a little expectant, but in the end Eric just carried Penelope out of the room, leaving her there alone, Monica thought that Eric didn't like her at all, so she was sad for a whole night, and she barely fell asleep until dawn, so she only got up a little earlier than Eric and the three, and just went to the kitchen to get something to eat, and the three Eric walked in.

Seeing that the scene was a little embarrassing, Eric took the initiative to step forward, took the ketchup in Monica's hand and put it aside, looked at the girl's hair was still a little messy, and asked softly, "Just got up?"

Monica felt that her hands were empty, and she suddenly felt that her two little hands didn't know where to put them, so she just nodded subconsciously: "Well, I ...... Well. ”

"Let's go take a shower first," Eric picked up the girl's cheek, kissed her gently, and said softly, "I'll make lunch for everyone myself, and I can help when you're done with the shower." ”

Monica nodded obediently, looked at the two girls standing not far away, and asked in a weak tone, "Eric, are you, ......?"

"Of course not," Eric interrupted without waiting for the girl to finish, "but this is California, you don't want me to get in trouble, do you?"

Although Monica was a little confused by Eric's words, she subconsciously shook her head.

Eric patted the girl on the back, "Then let's go take a shower." ”

Seeing Monica, who was petite and timid, was coaxed out of the kitchen by Eric, Nicole said in a somewhat sour tone, "You've never been so gentle with me. ”

Famick Jensen nodded: "Not for me." ”

Eric took out the ingredients from the refrigerator and handed them to the two girls who walked over, saying, "It can't be without, right?"

Nicole took a bag of bread, glared at Eric, walked to the kitchen counter, and said casually, "Well, it seems like once." ”

Eric remembered the time when Nicole cried aggrievedly, and said a little weakly: "There's no need to eat a little girl's vinegar." ”

Famick put a carton of eggs into the egg cooker one by one, and when Eric said this, he teased: "I thought you had changed sex, but you were just afraid of 'trouble', tsk." ”

"I've always been a law-abiding citizen. ”

Eric smiled cheekily, and couldn't help but complain a little in his heart, the legal standards of various states in the United States are uneven, most states can get married at the age of sixteen, and even the legal marriage age in some states is as low as twelve years old, and some states are eighteen years old before reaching the age of legitimacy, a couple of men and women want to do something without violating federal law can only be regarded as a matter of space, not a matter of time, for a country on wheels, the problem of space does not seem to be a problem.

Eric remembers that Milla Jovovich, a young and rebellious woman in the original plane, eloped with her boyfriend at the age of sixteen to get married in Las Vegas, and in California, her boyfriend, who was four years older than her, was going to jail for doing so. But to the neighboring state of Nevada. The two can legally get married. I have to say it's ironic. Speaking of which, "Resident Evil" in this time and space may start filming next year, but Eric has not seen Milla Jovovich in the media, and it seems that this Russian actress with a very good background was not lightly fanned by butterfly wings.

After a few minutes, before Monica had returned from the shower, Drew, Penelope, and Connelly walked into the kitchen one after another. Xiao Nizi covered her mouth and still yawned, and threw a mobile phone over: "Hey, Jeffrey Katzenberg just called." I told him you to come back next time. ”

Eric took the mobile phone, watched the girl stretch out her little paws and scoop up the freshly fried sausage, and raised her hand to open it: "Have you brushed your teeth?"

"I'm dying of hunger," the girl shouted unwillingly, but walked out obediently.

Eric glanced at Connelly and Penelope, and when he saw the two women nodding, he pointed to the frying pan: "You can take a look, and when it's ready, it will be served." ”

Giving the job to the two girls, Eric walked out with his mobile phone.

Although it was noon, after Eric called. Katzenberg was quick to get through the phone, and the workaholic was in his office even at noon. couldn't help but make Eric, who slept until three o'clock in the morning, feel a little embarrassed.

Firefly's management has drawn up a detailed media PR plan based on what was agreed last night, and after a morning of discussion. Katzenberg even found out that Buffett and his wife, Susan, now live at their vacation home in Laguna Beach, south of Los Angeles, and have made an appointment with Buffett.

With this in words, Eric and Katzenberg went to the basement study, and on the other side Katzenberg began to ask the secretary to fax the minutes of the morning's meeting.

Compared to last night's decision in a few words, the plan in hand is much more professional, and all kinds of details that may happen are considered.

Katzenberg on the phone was visibly excited, and chatted with Eric for half an hour, during which Eric went through the entire proposal. Although Katzenberg has agreed with Buffett for a meeting, it can be seen from the media PR plan in his hand that is designed to show the strength of Firefly Pictures that everyone does not expect much from negotiating the deal privately.

Fortunately, after the two of them finished talking about it, Katzenberg didn't continue to talk about anything else, but told Eric to go to the Firefly headquarters in the afternoon, and some documents needed to be signed by him personally, and then hung up the phone.

Eric sorted out the fax he had just made, turned around and saw Drew sitting quietly on the steps at the entrance, eating a sandwich quietly in his hand, and smiled: "Surprise me, how are you like a cat, always silent." ”

"You're just startling everyone," said the girl, standing up with her sandwich, "and suddenly we couldn't find you, and we thought you had escaped." ”

Eric walked out with Drew and smiled, "Why should I run away?"

Xiao Nizi rolled her eyes and pretended to be confused: "I don't understand either, Nicole said, you ask her to go." ”

Came to the kitchen together, saw Eric appear, the women sitting quietly around the table seemed to be relieved, the original weird atmosphere quickly dissolved, Nicole also stood up with a smile, and diligently helped Ereca open the seat.

Eric sat down and explained, "I've been on the phone with Jeffrey for a long time, he's a workaholic and doesn't even think about whether or not someone else is having lunch. Hehe, why do you think I've escaped?"

Famick Jensen gave Eric a blank look and said to the women, "I'll just say, what a shameless guy he is, how can he be." ”

Nicole remembered what she had heard in a casual conversation with Elizabeth and said, "How can't it be, this bastard has a criminal record." ”

Eric also realized that Elizabeth probably said something to Nicole, and that it was always elusive what women would talk about, but there was a reason why he ran away in the first place. Faced with a girl who may force you to marry in a few minutes when she wakes up, who can parry.

"Okay, let's eat," Eric said like a man, looking at the women, and teasing, "Do you want to pray before the meal?"

Nicole picked up the dining area and said, "Forget it, I guess God won't believe what comes out of your mouth." ”

There was a chuckle in the dining room, although Eric was gentle and considerate most of the time, but his identity was there, and neither the Cruze sisters nor Connelly dared to joke with Eric at will, looking at Nicole and Famick arguing with Eric unscrupulously, it felt both fresh and a little envious.

Eric took a sip of the juice that Nicole had just handed over, waited for the laughter of the girls to fall, and said, "It's Thanksgiving soon, since you didn't go home, let's have a Thanksgiving dinner together, but I'm going to New York tomorrow, how about tonight?"

The women looked at each other, and no one objected, so Eric said, "Then tonight, in the afternoon, you go buy some ingredients, by the way, will anyone roast a turkey?"

The only people here who have had a Thanksgiving habit are Jennifer Connelly and Drew, and apparently, neither of them will be there.

Xiao Nizi was about to say that she could let the chef do it, but looking at so many women in the restaurant, even the chef who signed a confidentiality agreement invited by herself in the manor, seeing this kind of scene, it is estimated that it will bring a lot of risk, so she closed her mouth.

Eric shook his head helplessly: "Then buy two more turkeys, I'll come back in the evening and we'll discuss it together, if it really doesn't work, just order a roasted one from the restaurant." ”

"Eric, will you come with us for the afternoon shopping?" asked Penelope.

Eric shook his head: "I need to go to Firefly HQ, there are some things I need to take care of before I leave Los Angeles, but I should be back soon." Also, be careful when you go out, don't get caught by the paparazzi. ”

"What are you going to do if we are discovered?" asked Nicole with a playful smile.

Eric shrugged and smiled, "Then I'll have to marry you all publicly." ”

Famick Jensen said, "And then we'll only see you in federal prison. ”

"Bring me some more good food then," Eric said disapprovingly.

The women laughed again, in fact, for a wealthy man of Eric's class, the constraints of federal law were really small to a negligible extent. As long as you don't get dizzy and do something too out of the ordinary in public, and you happen to be discovered, then the possibility of falling to the point of squatting in prison is very small, and even if something happens, you can escape prison by paying a huge amount of bail. As for the fact that there are more women, it is even less of a problem. It would be a strange thing if any billionaire was only to live by a woman. (To be continued.) )
