Chapter 112: Forced Kiss
The purple Lamborghini ghost stopped at the door of the hotel, and Eric got out of the car, and at a glance saw Jennifer Connelly standing outside the hotel door, and at this time there was another middle-aged man in his thirties standing next to the girl.
Eric walked up, and the two people on the other side quickly spotted him and greeted him together, Jennifer Connelly changed into a light blue dress and smiled at Eric very reluctantly. The middle-aged man next to the girl took the lead enthusiastically, stretched out his hand and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Williams, I am Miss Connery's agent, Jim Rest. ”
"Hello, Mr. Rest," Eric politely shook the other hand, then turned to Jennifer Connelly, "Miss Connery, let's go, I've already booked a restaurant." ”
The girl glanced at the agent as if pleading for help, and Eric's gaze and tone were too aggressive, as if he had taken her as a personal item.
She has debuted since she was thirteen years old, and because of her flawless and stunning appearance, she has encountered all kinds of coveting more than once, but not once has she been as possessive as arrogant and unreasonable as Eric. She felt that if she allowed the other party to be alone with her, then all the communication techniques she had practiced to deal with men would be useless.
Eric followed the girl's gaze to Jim Rest, who was on the side, "Mr. Rest, would you like to come along?"
Lester didn't dare to meet Jennifer Connelly's distress gaze, and shook his head at Eric with a flattering smile: "Of course not, Mr. Williams, how could I disturb the date between the two of you." Speaking of this, the middle-aged man waved his hand and made a meaningless gesture, and asked hesitantly, "Mr. Williams, can you tell me how well Jenny auditioned today?"
Eric felt strange when he heard Lester's nickname for Jennifer Connelly, but he still said bluntly: "If nothing else, this character is Miss Connelly." ”
Even Jennifer Connelly, who had all kinds of scruples about Eric, couldn't help but look up at Eric in surprise, not to mention the ecstatic Lester.
The girl's agent is also a delicate person, as a man, he can see at a glance the ambition of the right girl in Eric's eyes, so he understands that Eric will definitely support the other party in the future.
In Eric Williams' style, the actors he likes will try to dig into his own agency. As an agent of a third-tier actor, Lester understands that if he doesn't take the initiative to seize this opportunity, he doesn't know when he will have to wait until he wants to encounter this kind of good thing again in the future.
"That's right, Mr. Williams, I think UTA is a very promising agency, so I want to bring my artists to jump ship with me, what do you think?"
Jennifer Connelly glanced at her agent in surprise, and Lester hadn't mentioned it to her at all, which made the girl a little unhappy with Lester's assertions. But in front of Eric, she didn't have an immediate seizure.
At the same time, she looked at the young man in front of her with some concern, of course she knew that UTA was Eric's personal property, and once Eric nodded and agreed, for the sake of the role, she would definitely have no room to refuse. But deep down, she resisted joining UTA, not because she was not optimistic about UTA, but because if she did, it would give her the illusion that she was in the mouth of a tiger.
Eric also noticed Jennifer Connelly's surprised and worried expression, and looked at the somewhat short and stocky middle-aged man in his thirties in front of him with interest.
"Mr. Lester, you are a smart man, you know how to seize the moment, and you have made the right choice. It was a moment before Eric said this.
He had indeed planned to dig Jennifer Connelly to UTA, and still let Kapoor take her personally.
However, since the girl's agent took the initiative to mention the job hopping, Eric was also happy to save trouble. Since Lester wants to continue to take the girl, let him try, after all, Eric can't put all the people who are optimistic about the future under the name of Kapoor alone, and Kapoor can't be busy even if he is energetic. If Lester can't prove his strength in the future, he will still be fired.
"By the way, how many artists do you have under your command now?" asked Eric, remembering what Lester had just said.
"Four, including Janie. Lester immediately said, and the other party seemed to want to introduce the other three, but was interrupted by Eric's wave: "Give up the other three, you bring Miss Connelly to UTA alone." I only have my eye on Miss Connelly alone, and I don't need the other three burdens. ”
The struggle in Rest's eyes flashed, he had a good relationship with the actors under him, and among the other three actors, one was the younger brother of his friend, who specially asked him. However, thinking about his future, Lester made a decision in five seconds: "No problem, Mr. Williams." ”
After the matter was settled, Lester took the initiative to leave, leaving Jennifer Connery with Eric.
Starting the car, Eric saw the stunned girl in the passenger seat, and suddenly leaned over.
Jennifer Connelly noticed Eric's movements, immediately raised her hands in front of her, and asked with a look of horror, "You...... What are you going to do?"
"Look at you," Eric pouted, and pulled the seat belt over the passenger seatbelt over the girl's body, "I don't know how to drive this car, so it's safer to wear a seat belt." ”
"I'll tie it myself," said Jennifer Connelly, reaching for her seatbelt, but in a panic, she grabbed Eric's big hand and immediately retracted as if electrocuted.
Fastening his seatbelt, Eric sat up straight, but instead of starting the car immediately, he twisted his head to look at the restless girl in the passenger seat.
"You're afraid of me?" finally asked Eric after a moment.
Jennifer Connelly nodded subconsciously, realizing that something was wrong, and quickly shook her head: "Mr. Williams, I ...... I didn't mean that. ”
"You can call me Eric. ”
The girl looked out the window in a panic and hummed softly.
"Come, look at me. Eric's tone softened slightly, and the girl involuntarily turned her head with questions in her eyes.
Eric reached behind the girl, grabbed the back of Connery's head, and suddenly leaned forward again, kissing the girl's delicate red lips.
Jennifer Connelly was momentarily stunned by Eric's actions, her eyes widened, her pupils contracted sharply, and her hands subconsciously propped themselves on Eric's chest, but she forgot to flee. Feeling the young man in front of him sucking his lips strongly, his tongue still tried to get into his mouth several times, the girl's eyelashes flickered a few times, and her big eyes were soon filled with mist, and when Eric had sucked enough of the pair of lips and let go of the girl, the tears in Connally's eyes were about to overflow.
"How can you do that!" the girl's first instinct was to slap Eric and get out of the car to leave, only to find herself firmly tied to her seat with a seat belt and unable to move.
Hurriedly unbuckling his seat belt, Eric had already stepped on the accelerator and drove the Lamborghini onto the road, but the girl still said: "Mr. Williams, please pull over, I want to get out of the car!"
"Don't make a fuss, just put your seatbelt on. ”
"You...... I'm going to get out of the car!" the girl stubbornly retorted.
Eric was about to say something more, when an open-top Mercedes-Benz suddenly drove up, and the punk young driver with the explosive head in the car obviously crossed the middle line to overtake in the opposite direction, Eric cursed and slammed the steering wheel before barely staggering the convertible body, but the two cars still brushed next to each other. A few punk youths in the car may have seen the glamorous girl in the co-pilot, and when they passed by, they were screaming and whistling at the Lamborghini.
When the Mercedes-Benz disappeared into the rearview mirror, Eric found that he had been shocked into a cold sweat, scolded fiercely again, and glanced at the girl who was also shocked, Eric's tone became a little strict: "Fasten your seat belt." ”
Jennifer Connelly didn't dare to resist this time, and she didn't want to joke with her own life, so she obediently pulled out her seat belt and fastened it, but stubbornly turned her head away from the person in the driver's seat.
Arriving at the door of a famous Italian restaurant in Beverly Hills, the doorman saw a gorgeous purple ghost sports car and approached him courteously. Eric got out of the car, gave the key and a tip to the doorman, turned and walked to the girl, Jennifer Connelly had calmed down, and after getting out of the car, she didn't brush her sleeves away, reluctantly grabbed Eric's outstretched arm, and followed the other party to the restaurant.
"As long as the salad is enough, why don't you order anything else?" said Eric at the table, hearing the girl's order.
Jennifer Connelly glanced at the waiter standing next to her and whispered sullenly, "I'm on a diet." ”
Eric didn't persuade him again, ordered his own dinner, asked for a bottle of red wine, and then returned the menu to the waiter, and when he left, Eric said, "Okay, girl, it's okay to laugh, you make me feel guilty like this." ”
"Do you still feel guilty?" the girl glared at Eric unceremoniously, and added, "Don't talk to me in that old-fashioned tone, okay...... You're only a few months older than me. ”
"It's such an honor, I didn't think you have already inquired about my birthday, it will be very good for us to get along in the future. I also remember your birthday, December 12th, which is an amazing day, right? ”
Eric's words made the girl a little uneasy: "Where did you know my birthday?"
"Files," Eric smiled and coaxed the girl without any psychological pressure: "I still know more about you, I knew that beautiful girl as an angel when it was released in 1984, and I have been obsessed with her ever since, and I never imagined that one day she would appear alive in front of me." ”
There is no woman who does not like this kind of compliment, let alone a young director who has recently become famous, Jennifer Connelly lowered her head and did not dare to look at Eric's affectionate eyes, but a faint flush flew on her cheeks, even Eric's offense to her before, the girl couldn't help but excuse the other party, he must have been like that because he liked me.
