Chapter 539: Refusal
It took a day to visit several museums on Berlin's Museum Island, and the two of them walked out of the final history museum at about 4 p.m.
Caroline's interest was still high, and the two came to the street, and the girl pointed to the west: "In front is the Brandenburg Gate, only one kilometer, Eric, do you want to go and see, it is the German 'Arc de Triomphe'." ”
"Alright," Eric nodded, since it was close, there was no need for a car, and Eric walked down the street towards his destination.
Caroline walked on Eric's right hand, glanced up obliquely at Eric's side face, and quickly withdrew her gaze like a thief, turning her little brain a few times before finding a topic: "Eric, after a day in the museum, do you have any inspiration for the movie?"
Sensing the girl's awkward accosting, Eric smiled and nodded, "Yes." ”
Caroline leaned in and looked up at Eric, "So, can you tell me about it?"
"Of course, Caroline, have you ever thought about the possibility that if all those exhibits in the museum suddenly came to life, they all came to life?"
"Ah, I, I didn't think about it," the girl shook her head honestly.
Eric laughed and said, "And what do you think of when you see those exhibits?"
"Their age, their artistic value, or the historical events involved......" As she spoke, the girl's head hung down and murmured, "Eric, I'm useless, I only remember these things from books." ”
"Of course not, Caroline, you don't know how good you are. I envy your little brain. Eric said. The arm is slightly raised. He wanted to pat the girl on the head, but considering the shy nature of this Niko, he still gave up the action.
Caroline noticed Eric's movements, shrunk her neck slightly, and couldn't help but have some small expectations in her heart, but when she saw Eric withdraw her hand, she couldn't help but feel a little lost, and said, "But." Actually, I know, they often say I'm ...... behind my back It's nerds. ”
Eric stopped, turned to look at the petite girl in front of him, and said solemnly: "Caroline, don't think so, those who say this about you are definitely jealous. Excellent memory ability is a gift given to you by God, and the more knowledge a person has, the easier it is to be able to draw inferences from others and do things that ordinary people can't do. ”
Caroline looked at Eric with sparkling eyes, waiting for him to finish. Like a primary school student who has been praised by a teacher, he nodded vigorously. "Thank you, Eric. ”
Eric learned from the English aristocratic tone that girls always raised slightly: "You're welcome, Caroline." ”
"Hehe," Caroline laughed, "by the way, what about the inspiration you just mentioned?"
"Oh, that's right, we can make such a premise, the hero has found a new job, working as a night watchman in the Natural History Museum, and on the first night of his duty, when he was patrolling the empty and lonely museum, he suddenly heard a strange noise......"
Eric briefly told the main story line of "Wonderful Night at the Museum", and before he finished speaking, he found that the girl next to him was looking at him with a little admiration in her eyes without blinking, and Eric was even sure that at this time, when she bought a lollipop and handed it over, this girl with a Lolita atmosphere on the outside and inside went home with him.
Forehead...... Good evil.
"Eric, what's next?" Caroline asked, seeing Eric abruptly stop narrating.
Eric shook his head, not wanting to continue to brush Caroline's favorability: "I haven't thought about it yet, that, you know, the script is not so easy to write." ”
Caroline instinctively excused Eric: "It's okay, it's already amazing, I definitely can't think of such a fun story, I think if it is made into a movie, it will definitely not be much worse than "Jurassic Park"." ”
"I hope so," Eric laughed, but Caroline was a little dissatisfied with Eric's perfunctory tone, and nodded her little head firmly: "That's for sure." ”
The Brandenburg Gate is one of the more famous attractions in Berlin, there are a lot of tourists scattered around, the two of them came to the nearby Paris Platz, in order to avoid being watched, Eric hurriedly brought his sunglasses, Caroline also took out a sunglasses from her handbag, thought about it but put it back, the girl felt that she should not have any such need. If it weren't for the paparazzi who occasionally pressed the shutter a few times on the two of them, Eric wouldn't even have to wear sunglasses, after all, he has been behind the scenes for a long time, although he often appears in the media, but most of them are some retouched photos, which are very different from real people.
The paparazzi also formed a tacit understanding with the two, Eric's bodyguards did not stop them from following, and these people would not rush forward to stop the two and ask questions.
After a circle around the Brandenburg Gate, the two men got tired of walking, so they sat down on benches near the fountains on either side of Parisplatz.
"Are you tired, I asked the hotel to send a car to pick us up?"
After walking such a long way, Caroline, whose face was already a little ruddy, nodded, looked at Eric and waved a few words to the nearby bodyguards, and waited for the other party to retract his attention before saying, "Eric, when I came, Rachel asked me to ask about the movie you promised her last time." ”
Last time, the timing was a little full, and Eric didn't mean to hide it, and said, "It's about the story of the Titanic." ”
"That...... Titanic?" Caroline asked, her eyes wide.
Eric nodded: "Yes, it's the Titanic that sank on its maiden voyage in 1912, I think Rachel's temperament is very in line with the image of the heroine, the main body of the movie is a love story in a disaster, the heroine Rose, who was born as a noble lady, was forced by her mother to marry an American entrepreneur, and in the process of going to the United States to get married, Rose met a very talented Jack on the Titanic, and because of a series of things, they quickly fell in love with each other. ”
Caroline listened to Eric's story, but a sense of déjà vu arose in her mind, and she asked, "That." Did the two of them end up together?"
Eric glanced at the girl with a look of hope. Shook his head.
Caroline bit her lip. I couldn't help but whisper: "Why can't you keep them together?"
Because this is the reality, in fact, Jack and Rose are not suitable for being together, they are not people of the same world, impulsive love is very beautiful, but it can't withstand the grind of ordinary life, so in the final setting of the story, Jack sank into the sea, but lived forever in Rose's memory. And Rose has found her belonging. ”
A girl's mind is always delicate and sensitive, Caroline heard Eric say this, and realized that Eric seemed to be rejecting herself in disguise, and a strong sense of loss and sourness in her heart couldn't help but well, and after a while, she felt that maybe she was wrong, after all, people around her said more than once that she was very clumsy in this regard.
Thinking of this, Caroline plucked up some courage again. He looked up at Eric beside him and said, "Eric." Actually, there's one thing I haven't said. ”
"Huh?"
Caroline twisted her fingers lightly and whispered, "My father asked me to invite you to my house. ”
"Still don't have to," Eric looked at the girl's pitiful appearance, carefully considering the words, "Caroline, I think you must have read some of my messages in the newspapers. ”
Caroline immediately shook her head: "I don't believe it, Eric, they must be talking nonsense, you are a ...... A nice person, I know I'm a bit stupid in this regard, but I believe in my feelings. ”
Eric finally couldn't hold back, reached out and pinched Caroline's face, looked at the girl's instantly blushing appearance, and said, "Silly girl, in fact, a lot of what they said is true. ”
Caroline was still a little shy, but when she heard Eric's words, she stood up suddenly, her eyes wide: "I don't believe it, you must be lying to me." ”
The girl's voice couldn't help but be louder when she was excited, and many people around looked over, and the paparazzi who found out about the situation raised their cameras one after another.
Eric didn't want to be watched, and he didn't care about anything else at this time, so he got up and pulled Caroline and walked away. The moment the girl was held by Eric's little hand, the momentum of her whole body immediately poured out, and she obediently followed Eric towards June 17th Street to the west.
The car sent by the hotel soon arrived, and Eric took the girl into the car before he spoke again: "Caroline, thank you for spending time with me, it's always a pleasure to be with you, but I think you should go back to London and go back to your own life." ”
Caroline remembered her gaffe just now, both lost and sad, at this time when she heard Eric's words to drive her away, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she fell down with a click, felt the tissue handed by Eric, but she didn't answer, and moved to the other side of the carriage, as if to draw a line with Eric.
The car soon arrived at the hotel parking lot, Eric ordered the driver to leave, and sat in the car with Caroline for a while, making sure that the girl's mood had eased, and then led her towards the hotel.
When she was about to reach the hotel lobby, Caroline gently tugged at Eric's shirt and waited for him to stop before whispering, "Eric, I'm so sorry, I just lost my temper, I ...... I'll go back to London in the evening. ”
Eric took out a tissue to help Caroline wipe the tears on her face, this time the girl did not refuse, but her face still turned red quickly, and when Eric withdrew his hand, he whispered, "Thank you." ”
Eric sighed softly and said, "It's too late today, I'll have someone send you back tomorrow." ”
"Thank you," Caroline whispered again.
The two fell silent again, and Eric had just walked into the hotel lobby, and the girl who had been sitting on the sofa in the lobby lounge area and flipping through the magazine immediately got up to greet her.
The girl was blonde, tall, and curvy, and it was Claudia Schiffer whom she hadn't seen for a long time.
"Eric," Claudia came to Eric, glanced at the petite girl beside him, and slowed down with some hesitation, intending to reach out and shake Eric, but seeing Eric take the initiative to stretch out her arms to her, the girl did not hesitate, threw herself into Eric's arms, and affectionately saluted him.
Eric knew that Claudia was German, but he hadn't been following the girl's whereabouts for a while, and there was some surprise in Berlin.
"This is Caroline Wilson, from London, Caroline, and this is Claudia Schiffer, I'm sure you've seen her in the movies," Eric let go of the girl's waist and introduced the two girls to each other.
Claudia looked at Caroline suspiciously, the girl's expression was a little pitiful, but there was a little hostility in her eyes, but she still warmly stretched out her hand to the girl: "Hello, Miss Wilson." ”
"Hello, Miss Schiffer," Caroline instinctively took Claudia's hand, but after greeting, the girl quickly let go of the other and turned to Eric, "Eric, I'll go back to my room first." ”
"Well, see you tomorrow. ”
Caroline walked to the elevator, and the moment the elevator door closed, she saw that Eric had already affectionately wrapped his arms around Claudia's waist and walked in the direction of the hotel restaurant, the girl bit her lip, stomped her foot lightly, and muttered, "You did it on purpose, you must have done it on purpose, you scoundrel." ”
In the hotel restaurant, Eric and Claudia sat down by the window before he asked, "Why are you in Berlin?"
"I'm German, isn't it weird to be in Berlin?" Claudia replied with a smile, but quickly explained: "I received an invitation from a brand to come over for some events. ”
"Car brand?"
Claudia gave him a blank look: "Is there only a car in Germany?"
"In my opinion, it seems like this," Eric smiled, and continued, "It just so happens that you came over, I don't speak German, come with me to the reception in the evening, Constantine Film organizes, maybe it can bring you a few good opportunities." ”
"Okay, but I still have two film contracts on me now, I still think it's easier when I used to be a model, I've acted in several movies, but every time before the movie is released, they have to laugh at me for being a vase, please, I admit it myself, I'm a vase, they can't change their name." ”
"Even though you're so beautiful, if you want to make a breakthrough, you can try to be ugly and act in a few movies. ”
Claudia shook her head and refused: "I don't expect to win the Oscar, the vase is just a vase, I just want to appear beautifully." ”
The waiter came over at this time, because there was a party in the evening, and neither of them ordered anything to eat, but just asked for two cups of coffee, and continued to chat. (To be continued......)
