Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, he remembered that Gwyneth had a look of fear at the funeral last year, but today he took the initiative to come to the door, which was really funny. However, at least she didn't put on a charity expression of "it's your honor to appear" and pretended.

That's a step forward.

A gentlemanly but detached smile appeared on the corner of Lance's mouth, and he looked at Gwyneth politely, "So, you didn't hear my answer just now?" "He minded the two of them working together.

Although Lance was so humble and polite, the ridicule in his words was like a needle hidden in it, seeping out, which made Gwyneth so embarrassed that she was a little annoyed, she couldn't believe that Lance would treat herself like this, because she was too surprised and angry, she didn't know what to say to refute for a while. Then I heard Lance continue, "Moreover, I have already found a heroine in my work. Trust me, you wouldn't want to star in a work by a rookie director. ”

Gwyneth once again felt humiliation from Lance's calm eyes, and she gritted her teeth, "You'll regret it!" You know, I'm a very ...... Very good actress! You'll regret it! After saying that, Gwyneth clenched her fists, as if she was thinking about how to curse Lance, but after thinking about it, taking into account her own image, she swallowed all the words, turned around directly, raised her proud chin high, straightened her back, and strode away.

Jessica looked at Gwyneth's back with some dismay—although Gwyneth's works in recent years have not had much influence, a "Shakespeare love story" is enough for people to remember her, not to mention the "Seven Deadly Sins" that will go down in history. Jessica didn't expect that Lance would reject Gwyneth so directly and simply, the absolute strength in the understatement made even Gwyneth unable to refute, she didn't know what history was between the two people, but she was sure that the dangerous aura in the man was getting stronger and stronger.

Jessica subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but her mind kept struggling, but her body didn't move, and the manly aura like mist surrounded her firmly, and she couldn't move at all.

At this moment, the man turned around directly, and the right hand on her waist was released, and the strong aura dissipated a little in the wind, which made Jessica a little flustered, and just wanted to step forward and get close to the scorching fire in front of her. The man seemed to sense her intentions and took the initiative to step forward, the hot body temperature startled Jessica, raised her head suddenly, and then saw the man's sharp side face slowly pressing towards her.

She couldn't help but hold her breath, and the man finally stopped in her ear and whispered a word, the cold and fiery, oppressive but boiling voice touched every muscle in her body, making her feel like a marionette in the hands of a man, completely losing the initiative. However, she was obsessed with it.

Immediately after, the man withdrew from his body without stopping, and the figure quickly disappeared into the shadow of the building behind him. Only Jessica stood still, unable to move.

“…… Jessica, Jessica......" The voice came from far and near, like the shouts of visitors from outside the sky, pulling Jessica directly back to reality from the sky, she looked up and found James standing in front of her with a curious expression, "Jessica, what happened just now?" Is there hope for you to star in 'The Day After Tomorrow'? ”

Jessica looked at the excited light in James's pupils, and didn't know whether she should affirm or deny, "Uh, I don't know either...... Lance didn't say anything to me just now. Jessica swallowed the words that came to her lips and decided to keep the secret hidden, "He just rejected Gwyneth, yes, that's all. ”

"Reject Gwyneth?" James was stunned, and then his head began to spin rapidly.

However, Jessica didn't hear James's later words, because there was only one sentence in her mind, "W Hotel Westwood, tonight at eleven o'clock, room 1121." It was Lance's last words in her ear, whispering, but like nails, it pierced hard into her mind, whirling and whirling and whirling again.

What does this mean exactly? Is it an invitation? Or is it just an invitation to audition? Why did Lance say this to himself? What does this mean? Why was he dismissive in the audition room just a few minutes ago, and now he is going to extend an invitation to himself? What's going on with Gwyneth? Should she go to the appointment? Or should it be ignored?

Jessica's mind was haunted by a myriad of thoughts, which made her feel like she was being roasted on a fire, and the tossing and turning torment kept her from thinking for a whole day, and her whole person seemed absent-minded. The struggle between going to the appointment and refusing was always going back and forth, one second she was determined to ignore Lance's invitation, but the next second she began to regret it again; At this second, she was still looking forward to tonight's date, and at that second she kept warning herself of the mortal danger of that man...... This kind of love of gain and loss made her almost unrecognizable.

But, in the end, she still showed up at the W Hotel.

Looking at myself in the elevator mirror, a dark blue lady's short skirt with wide shoulder straps and ruffles gives the skirt a touch of retro flavor of the eighties; Her long blonde hair hung down obediently and obediently, setting off her delicate face like a proudly blooming rose...... Jessica couldn't help but cover her cheeks, looking at the spring/light under her eyes in disbelief, the slight flush on her cheeks revealed her anticipation at the moment, she looked down at the hem of her skirt, and pulled the shoulder straps with some chagrin, the dress that took two hours to pick out was so mediocre...... Why did she choose this dress?

This dark blue is the color of Reims' shirt in the morning.

Looking at the hem of the dress, Jessica was suddenly stunned, dazed, overwhelmed, and struggling, and finally understood: she wanted to go to the appointment, and it had been like this from the beginning, she wanted to go to the appointment. Even if her sanity told her that it was a mistake, even if her sanity was screaming that the man was so dangerous, even if her sanity made her turn around and leave immediately...... But she still wanted to go to the appointment, and she was more determined than ever.

Like a moth to a fire, even though she knew that the flame would burn her life force, she still desperately wanted to pounce on it, enthusiastically opening her arms to embrace the deadly danger. The thrill and determination of dancing on the tip of the knife grabbed Jessica's heart so hard that she almost took her breath.

With a crisp "ding", the elevator reached the eleventh floor, making Jessica retract her thoughts. She turned around and stepped out of the elevator, the pair of denim blue stiletto heels took a step, step by step, step by step, and when she reached the door of room number "1121", all her complicated feelings had settled, and with a long exhale, she raised her right hand and knocked on the door.

The knocking sound was a little dull in the quiet hallway, and there was no response, but Jessica didn't show any nervousness, just stood quietly in place. This may be the first time in the past six months or so that she has been so calm, and even has some expectations. After a short while, a hoarse voice came from inside, "The door is unlocked. ”

Without any hesitation, Jessica opened the door and walked in briskly, closing the door again. The sound of her heart pounding almost reached her throat, which made Jessica scratch the hem of her skirt, and the sweat on her palms seemed a little slippery.

The room was pitch black, and there was hardly anything to be seen, except for a faint yellow light at the end, trying to support the darkness, but the darkness in all directions was so heavy and so thick that the dark night that could not be seen pressed against the light, making the light look so fragile, as if it would be shattered at any moment, and then completely swallowed.

Next to that faint halo, a figure can be vaguely outlined, and the faint light and shadow are not clear at all, only a general outline can be seen. The silhouette was so silent, as if the world had stood still, and the lines of her stiff shoulders softened, outlining a little loneliness and fragility, and she was breathless under the weight of darkness, Jessica's heart suddenly stopped beating at this moment, and almost before she could react, her eyes were blurred by tears, and then she stood stupidly in place, lest her rash actions would hurt the figure in front of her.

Even without any credentials, Jessica just recognized it, it was Lance.

The figure raised his right hand, beckoned, and then dropped down again and picked up the glass of whiskey under the lamp, and shook it lightly twice, the amber liquid outlining the slender fingertips, faintly oozing a sense of loneliness and exhaustion. Jessica took a step, one step and another, as light as a butterfly, trying not to break the silence of the room with her movements.

She could feel that Lance was right in front of her, so close, yet so far away, close at hand but far away, the intricate contradictions were overwhelmed in the night, as if it only took a gentle exhalation, and the blurred figure would completely disappear into the darkness.

Jessica cautiously stopped her steps, and five paces away from Lance, she clenched her fists and stood firmly in place, but the rapid beating of her heart still made her body tremble. Jessica bit her lower lip to prevent her panic from upsetting the balance of the moment.

"You're here." The man's voice was like a wisp of green smoke, curling in the darkness, hoarse with a hint of tiredness, "Do you know what that means? The man paused, but Jessica still didn't speak, just silent, clenching her fists tightly, and then heard a chuckle on the corner of the man's mouth, "Snort", like the sound of a match, lighting up the night, "This means that we can continue with the deal that was not completed at the audition this morning." ”
