Lance and Kate calmly walked to the first floor, and Kate even took two glasses of whiskey from the waitress and handed one to Lance. Sensing Lance's burning gaze locked on her, the burning gaze almost piercing through her mask and seeing through her true face, Kate smiled and interrupted Lance's gaze, "You just need to say 'thank you'." ”

Apparently, Lance was deliberating how to speak, why on earth did Kate suddenly appear? And why would you help him? Did Kate know the situation beforehand or what? Or does Kate have a backhand here? Lance doesn't trust Kate lightly because she helped him, this is Vanity Fair, and serial traps are not uncommon.

Kate is a smart person, she read some information from Lance's eyes, although not much, but enough, she didn't care, "I was just about to go to the second floor to get my coat." At this, Kate looked left and right, then mysteriously approached Lance's ear, and said in a low voice, "Actually, I was looking for my cigarettes. This sentence made the corners of Lance's mouth unconsciously outline slightly, and then Kate regained her original state and continued, "I saw this scene unexpectedly. So, I just showed my friendliness, said hello and that's it. ”

Lance doesn't believe it, he believes in the cigarette part, but not the second half. Lance frowned slightly, and took a serious look at Kate, only to find that her expression was calm, and she would not panic even in the face of his gaze. Either her acting skills are too good, or she has nothing to hide.

"Just friendly?" Lance's gentle voice rose slightly, but he still maintained the etiquette of a gentleman, "Why did you choose to help me?" "Just now Kate grabbed him by the arm with her right hand and gave him a hint that if Kate knew nothing, it must be a lie.

Kate's soft lips pursed slightly, and then drew a wonderful arc, the elf queen's ethereal and retro made her look radiant, and her elegant chin was gently raised, with a hint of inviolable arrogance, "You know, some things can be done, some things can't be done, everyone has their own bottom line, once the bottom line is crossed, then everything else is no longer important." Kate's smile was so bright that it didn't match the content of the words, but it made the hidden meaning of the words thicker, "I don't like men taking advantage of women, but in the same way, I don't like women taking advantage of men." Kate winked at Lance, "A lot of times, women aren't as vulnerable as people think, aren't they?" ”

It is generally believed that women are always the weaker side in the workplace, and this is often the case. But really smart women know how to take advantage of this advantage, and instead put men in a situation where they can't argue. Therefore, the so-called discrimination and injustice are also a weapon. The same goes for empathy.

Lance's gaze stopped on Kate, Kate met Lance's eyes without humility or arrogance, those clear and translucent eyes were always filled with a touch of confidence, and the powerful aura did not fall behind even in front of Lance. The smile on the corner of Lance's mouth was outlined in this way, and even overflowed with a trivial sound, like green shoots blooming in the spring breeze; Immediately afterwards, Kate also chuckled, without any concealment, revealing her neat white teeth, and a thick smile overflowed from the bottom of her eyes.

"So, just passing through." Lance tucked his chin slightly, and asked again, but this time, the smile on the corner of his mouth did not disappear.

"Just passing through." Kate pursed her lips and nodded, giving an affirmative reply. "Are you sure you have time for small talk right now? If so, I do want to talk to you about potential future collaborations. I really like the style and temperament of 'Killing with a Knife'. ”

Lance's eyebrows raised slightly, Kate was not only a smart woman, but also a little too smart. He really doesn't have time to talk now, Angelina just tricked him for a while, although he escaped in a thrilling way and didn't succeed, but that doesn't mean he will swallow his anger, he has never been such a personality.

Kate read the appreciation in Lance's eyes at once, and then shook her head with a smile, "I'm married, and although he is arrogant and hateful, he belongs to me." The upright self-confidence was a little sharp, as if it had a coldness that rejected people from thousands of miles away, and he didn't even want to hide his rejection.

But instead of being angry, Lance chuckled, "You make me feel ashamed. Such a self-deprecating ridicule made the smile on Kate's lips bloom, as if the ice and snow were melting, "I think I need to say goodbye first." Lance didn't be polite, and he didn't hide it, although it was only the first official meeting between him and Kate, and the two of them didn't even introduce themselves, but Lance skipped this link directly, and turned around and prepared to leave.

As soon as his footsteps turned, Lance remembered something very important, turned to face Kate, put his right hand on the heart of his chest, bowed slightly in a retro knightly salute, stood up and met Kate's calm eyes, and whispered, "Thank you." After saying that, Lance didn't pause anymore, and turned around and left.

Kate watched the back of Lance leaving, her eyebrows raised slightly, and the thoughtfulness in her eyes gradually disappeared into the depths.

Tonight, she heard about Lance from Leonardo and Martin, which is not unusual, after all, Lance is indeed the focus of attention tonight, but the point is that Leonardo and Martin both praise Lance very well. Especially considering that Tom defeated Leonardo to win the actor, which is even more valuable.

She had indeed passed by unexpectedly, and had followed her instincts and reached out to Lance. Of course, she knew the possible consequences of her actions, but she didn't care. More importantly, she met Lance, the rumored bastard who didn't seem that bad.

Lance didn't show any urgency, still maintained a calm pace, and walked in the direction of the outdoors, inadvertently raising his head and glancing towards the second floor. He and Kate walked down in less than two minutes, and Angelina was no longer on the second floor, but Darius was still wandering around the second floor, as if waiting for someone, and seemed to be watching his every move.

After coming outside, Lance looked left and right, looking for his target, this is a big pie, and it is not easy to find people accurately in the pie. After calming down and gathering his thoughts, Lance grabbed a waiter and whispered a few words, and then walked to the edge of the pool, making his figure stand out.

The speed was really fast, and after a while, Dorothy Wright's figure appeared in view.

Dorothy caught the hint of Lance's gaze and immediately walked towards the balcony next to the banquet hall on the first floor, but instead of walking directly into the balcony, her footsteps stopped at the floor-to-ceiling curtains next to the balcony, so that it would not be too conspicuous in the noisy interior. Lance's footsteps followed.

Lance looked Dorothy up and down, she was wearing a pink floor-mopping spinning dress today, with a hint of sweetness in her playfulness. "You're beautiful tonight." Lance complimented, which gave Dorothy a happy smile on her face, "You don't have to flatter me, I know you must be in a hurry to find me." Having said that, Dorothy's eyes showed that she was in a good mood.

"Indeed, I need you to arrange for someone to go to the second floor to arrest/rape. Preferably an editor of a gossip magazine. After Lance's words came out, Dorothy was directly stunned, "When did you have a date?" Langston paused, smiling, "Not me." It's Angelina Jolie, she's on the second floor right now, and it seems like there's a reporter on guard, or maybe that reporter is the one she's cheating with, and I need someone to witness it. ”

Lance guessed that no matter where Angelina disappeared, they must be preparing for the next step, or making adjustments. Most likely, Angelina will find a new scapegoat and continue what was left undone. Lance doesn't care who exactly is the scapegoat, but he can't let the story go according to Angelina's version, he wants her to know that some people can be offended and some can't.

Dorothy immediately heard the deep meaning of Lance's words, and her eyes rolled, "Is this a personal vendetta, or a corporate matter?" Lance didn't answer directly, just raised an eyebrow. Dorothy immediately understood, apparently Angelina had chosen the wrong object, "Are you planning to make a big deal about this, or are you going to ......"

"No, don't make a big fuss. It's better to be secretive. Lance shook his head, after the matter got bigger, it wouldn't do him any good, so he wouldn't set himself on fire. What I need is rumors in the circle, one is that Angelina and Brad are officially together; One is that Angelina has suspicious moves with other men tonight. "These rumors are not directly lethal, but they also don't require evidence, but they are enough to hinder Angelina and Brad's plans for the next step, and there is no news source to be found.

Dorothy's eyes widened, she had no idea that Angelina and Brad were officially together, and they actually appeared on Oscar night tonight. With such an association, there are countless possibilities for things. It is conceivable that after the rumors in the circle spread, the fire of gossip is bound to burn again; At the same time, Jennifer Aniston's team will definitely not rest on their laurels, in the future, there is no need for them to push at all, things will naturally spread from inside the circle to outside the circle again, and you can sit and watch a good show without spending a single soldier. This trick is really powerful to kill people with a knife.

"Edit." Dorothy immediately understood that Lance had chosen the editor of the gossip magazine, not the reporter, let alone the actor or the director. Clearly meaningful. ()
