Chapter 145: Buy
"Why are you still here?" said Eric, turning his head and looking at the flustered girl leaning against the piano in surprise.
"I, I'm sorry, I'm going out," Nicole carefully put the score back in place and walked towards the door, only to be stopped by Eric, "Nicole." β
"Hmm," the girl leaned over the doorway, one hand grasping the doorknob, and turned around with an inquiring look in her eyes.
Eric sat on the office chair and turned around, stretched out his hand and gestured to the entire study: "This place is not within your cleaning range, although it is a bit messy, but I am used to a lot of places where the text is placed, so, do you understand?"
"Yes, I see, I won't come in without your permission. The girl nodded, and the figure still stopped at the door, as if with some kind of anticipation: "Eric, is there anything else?"
Eric shook his head, "It's okay, you can rest early, good night." β
"Good night," Nicole replied, watching Eric turn around again, focus on the monitor again, and walk out of the study with a slight disappointment, closing the door gently.
In the days that followed, the girl's life seemed to be peaceful, getting up every morning, making breakfast for Eric, sending him out the door, and then spending hours cleaning, if it weren't for the clothes on her body that reminded her of her identity, the girl would have had the illusion of a housewife.
This feeling is actually not bad, at least not like the original girl imagined, will be a sex doll in Eric's villa for a few months, suffering all kinds of unbearable abuse and training, although she has had this kind of psychological preparation before, but this qiΔ did not happen, after Eric dressed her up as beautiful as he imagined, he rarely paid attention to her anymore, this time the girl began to doubt her feminine charm, and one day she secretly stuffed two layers of pads on her chest, walking around in front of him, the man just smiled with interest, ignored it, made the girl feel very embarrassed, and then did not dare to do this kind of thing again, to play the role of his own little maid.
In addition to her own work every day, she also has a lot of leisure time, reading newspapers when she is bored, watching TV, reading scripts repeatedly, and entrusting Eric to buy her a lot of magazines, she herself is very obedient and does not sneak out again, since the reality is so much better than she imagined, she is also willing to be a well-behaved canary.
She knew that Eric had been busy lately in the late stages of a movie called Erik and that he wasn't at home every day, sometimes spending the night at his girlfriend's house, and that was really a lucky girl, and she had seen a picture of Aniston and was envious of that girl's luck. In late May, Eric also went on a trip to England and left her alone at the villa, supposedly to visit the school, but returned in a hurry two days later.
At the end of May, the girl saw in the newspaper the news that the North American box office had exceeded $300 million and officially went down, and the news took over the pages of the newspaper for the next week, with various comments praising Eric and Columbia's stock rising by a large margin.
The girl's focus is still on the news that Eric is about to receive a whopping $120 million in shares.
$120 million is completely astronomical in Nicole's opinion, the reason why she came to Hollywood is out of a desire for money and fame, and wants to become a top Hollywood actress like Julia Roberts, but according to Julia Roberts's $6 million salary offer that Eric mentioned to her, it takes 20 movies to make so much money, even if a star has always maintained a high popularity in its heyday, it will take ten years to shoot two movies a year, not to mention that everyone knows that this is impossible, and most stars can only maintain their peak state for about ten years at most, in the past ten years, the salary will also rise and fall according to the results of the movies he starred in.
Thinking of this, the girl's mind that had calmed down became ready to move again, if she could become the mistress of this mansion, then she could directly get what she wanted. The girl even figured out some seduction plans that she thought were feasible, but unfortunately, these careful thoughts were stillborn before they could be implemented.
Because, the summer vacation is here, and the grinding goblin is back.
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon, and the girl happened to be mowing the lawn in the yard when she heard the sound of the gate being opened, and she knew that Eric would not usually come back at this time, so she went up to investigate, and saw Drew carrying his luggage into the yard with large bags and closing the gate.
Nicole greeted her warmly and wanted to help with her luggage, and building a good relationship with Drew was an important part of her plan.
But unexpectedly, after the girl saw her appearance, her eyes widened, with an incredible expression, and with undisguised hostility in her eyes, she circled around her several times before she asked a sentence that made Nicole collapse: "did-he-*-you?"
Seeing the girl who was in a messy state on the spot, Drew showed a satisfied and somewhat relaxed expression: "No, right? But you can also imagine that your boobs are so small," the girl said and suddenly reached out and grabbed a handful of Nicole's chest, pouting: "It's so pitiful, I didn't even reach A+." β
"You ......" After being attacked by Drew, Nicole finally reacted, protecting the little paw in front of her that blocked Drew from reaching out again, and couldn't help but sneer: "Yours is not big." β
"I'm only fourteen years old, and I can still grow for many years, ma'am, are you thirty years old this Chinese New Year's Eve?"
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to you," Nicole also noticed Drew's hostility, so she also cut off the idea of building a good relationship with the little girl in front of her, and returned to the lawn to turn on the lawn and continue mowing.
Drew used to hear Eric say that he liked Japanese-style maid outfits, and thought the other party was joking, but he didn't expect that today suddenly a tall beauty in a sexy maid outfit appeared in the villa, which made her instinctively resist and hostile, she didn't want Eric to have another woman, Aniston's little chubby girl hasn't been squeezed out yet, and another one, so how busy it will be when they go out one by one in the future.
"Hey, you, help me get my luggage in?" Although it had been determined that Eric had 'bad intentions', Drew didn't think about anything else, and really thought of Nicole as a maid hired by Eric.
"I'm sorry, Miss Barrymore, but I'm not your servant, so I'm not obligated to do so. The girl continued to push the lawn mower coldly, without looking back.
The girl was suddenly furious: "I...... I'll sue SΓΉ Eric and fire you today!"
Nicole also understood that Drew regarded her as a real servant, so she threw out a sentence indifferently: "Whatever." β
Drew stomped his feet angrily, carried a pile of luggage back to the villa one by one, and when all the suitcases were moved, Nicole had finished the lawn, returned to the villa, and began to prepare dinner.
Drew looked at Nicole's figure and became more and more angry, thought about it, and directly picked up the cordless phone and dialed Eric's number.
There were several beeps before someone on the other side picked it up.
The girl threw herself on the sofa in the living room, hugging a pillow, and her voice became soft and greasy: "Eric, I love you." β
In Fox's studio, several of the main scenes have been arranged, and today just happened to shoot a few shots that needed to be inserted, Eric walked to a quiet corner with the AC that Motorola gave away because of advertising placement, and heard Drew's words a little inexplicable: "Drew, isn't it a holiday today, are you home?"
"Eric, I love you. The girl's soft voice came from the other end of the phone again.
"Okay, don't make trouble, I have something to say, I'm busy, I have to go home later. Eric said, clasping the mobile phone around his neck, raising his hand and flipping his sleeve to look at his watch: "It's not even five o'clock, I'll be back at about six." β
"Eric, I love you. The coquettish voice sounded again.
Eric was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Buy, say what you want!"
"Uh, Eric, you're so hateful," Drew turned over on the villa sofa and put the pillow behind his head in dissatisfaction: "People have said so many times that I love you, and you don't give a single response." β
"I'll hang up if I don't say anything?" Eric threatened.
"Okay, Eric, shall we fire that maid," Drew raised his voice deliberately, and the girl in the kitchen chopping tomatoes rolled her eyes at this.
"You mean Nicole, I didn't hire her, she just came to help. β
"But I don't like her. β
"Nicole's cooking tastes good, you'll like it when you taste it at night, obedient, I'll hang up." Eric hung up the phone after saying that.
Drew waved his little hand angrily, wanting to throw the microphone out of his hand, raised his head, and saw Nicole leaning proudly against the kitchen door, holding a glass bowl in her hand and stirring the eggs inside, with a slight smug smile on her face: "How is it, little one?"
"Don't call me a little one, you poor-breasted flat-chested girl. β
Although Nicole felt a little inferior in her heart, she shrugged her shoulders indifferently in the face of Drew's provocation: "Maybe someone likes this type." β
"He doesn't like it," the girl retorted.
"Human tastes change," said Nicole as she said as she turned back to the kitchen, leaving a snorting Drew.
"Hmph, I'm absolutely never going to let you get away with it. The girl swore with a waving fist.
On May 24th, with the release of Spielberg's blockbuster, announcing the arrival of this year's film summer file, although Eric has been busy with intense post-production work, he is still very concerned about this movie, the film got $46 million at the box office on more than 2,300 screens in the first week, and the box office fell between 20% and 30% in the second and third weeks, and in mid-June, the box office exceeded 100 million in three weeks.
The post-production work was also completed in mid-June, and although Eric was willing to spend money in many places, he only used the production budget of $34 million, after all, the financial resources of the crew are from Colombia, and the film does not have many big scenes that cost money, let alone any special effects. But after seeing the finished film, the Colombian top brass readily agreed to invest the remaining $6 million in the promotion of the film......
At the same time, the first summer blockbuster with high hopes from Colombia was also released on 2,400 screens.
