311 Eat and wipe it down
At night, the bustle of Beverly Hills is tinged with a touch of grace, like a French lady in a traditional court dress, sitting dignified and elegant on a red velvet stool, her demure and noble appearance attracts all kinds of eyes, and people can't help but stop and stop. However, hidden under the fluffy and wide skirt, there are enthusiastic and chaotic dance steps and imminent pie duì madness, quietly waiting for people to lift the intricate and luxurious lace curtain and start the mysterious journey of exploration.
Nestled at the foot of this small hill and adjacent to Wilzer Boulevard, the Montage Hotel showcases understated luxury in California's Golden Age décor, with tall vaults, tranquil sky gardens, and Mediterranean-style fountains...... All of them show the past and splendor of Hollywood, and walk through the dark brown masonry stained with moisture, as if you have walked through the time. The noise and bustle across the street spread like dust in the air, but it brought out the peace of the courtyard more and more, giving people the illusion of a Wonderland, following Alice's steps.
Keira Knightley gracefully lifted the hem of her skirt, tiptoed into the hotel, and was greeted by a waitress in a black suit with a smile, "Good evening, Miss Knightley." Kayla was a little surprised, the other party actually recognized her, and the waiter politely bent down and made a gentleman's invitation, "Please come with me, Mr. Strello is looking forward to your arrival." ”
Kayla pursed her lips slightly, her pink lip gloss shimmering wonderfully in the light, and nodded to the waiter with a smile, and then the waiter led the way in front of her, guiding Kayla to the "Eat and Wipe Out" restaurant.
This restaurant is famous in Los Angeles, and Kayla has heard of this fine Italian restaurant for a long time. A single dinner can cost the average salaried man three days' wages; But when she walked into the restaurant, the simple and elegant modernist design style made her stunned, compared with the high and expensive consumption level, such a decoration seemed a little simple.
Following in the footsteps of the waiter, Kayla walked towards the window on her right, far away. And she saw the man.
The golden light fell like bright stars, and the stars fell on the broad shoulders, delicately depicting the shape of the shoulder line, the blue-gray vertical striped collarless shirt looked casual and lazy, and in the orange light, the blue eyes were particularly dazzling.
The man stood up, walked behind the chair opposite, and pulled the chair out, but Kayla didn't sit down immediately. Instead, he stood beside the chair, looked at Lance seriously, and raised his chin slightly, "How can you be sure that I will definitely appear?" ”
The smile on Lance's lips lifted slightly, and then he raised his right hand, his index and middle fingers crossed, and made a gesture of prayer, a simple gesture that made Kayla chuckle. Then she didn't say anything more, just sat down. Subsequently. Lance then returned to his place and sat down.
The waiter who had led the way just now retreated, and then the waiter inside the restaurant came over with a wine list and handed it to Kayla. Kayla didn't flip through it, but raised her chin and said calmly. "It's my first time here, and I wonder if there's anything to recommend from tonight's menu?" Ask about the main course first, and then choose the wine to pair, and you can tell that Kayla is ready for anything.
"Tonight's chef's recommendation is steak. Angus cattle, which have just been flown in from Australia, have been raised for 450 days and are of excellent quality and can be paired with a 1998 Château Belle. The waiter smiled and introduced, no fancy touting, just the right introduction was impressive, he paused, his eyes stopped on Lance and Kayla, and saw that neither of them meant to object, and then continued, "We can choose from eight, ten, or twelve courses depending on your needs." ”
When you first appear in an unfamiliar restaurant, you will often make a fool of yourself by ordering food indiscriminately, and you will miss many of the restaurant's delicacies, so choosing a chef's recommendation is the safest but also the wisest choice. Especially in restaurants like "Eat Dry and Wipe Down", the chef is the biggest attraction, and you can't go wrong with it.
Kayla handed the wine list back to the waitress and smiled, "I don't have a problem, it's up to me to see what Mr. Strello has chosen." "Different quantities of food pairings mean different lengths of meals, and prices vary greatly.
Lance raised an eyebrow slightly, "Please choose the ten-course food pairing." The waiter nodded slightly, and Lance looked at Kayla, "Hopefully this won't ruin a certain lady's food control plan." This sentence made Kayla's eyes widen and she looked at Lance fiercely, but Lance didn't care, looked up and added, "Also, the wine gave us the 1997 vintage." ”
After the waiter made sure that neither of them had been instructed, he took a step back and turned to leave.
Kayla obviously hasn't gotten out of the ridicule of the "diet plan" yet, she doesn't need to lose weight, and she doesn't need to control her weight, so she naturally won't like the banter revealed in Lance's words, she gritted her teeth lightly, "So, why do you suddenly want to invite me to dinner?" ”
Lance chuckled, the muffled sound of red wine ringing in her ears, and then the fragrance began to linger under her nose, which made Kayla clear her throat and straighten her spine, and then she heard Lance say, "Because I need the paparazzi to witness that I'm dating." Kayla was stunned by these words, she didn't expect such an answer, Kayla frowned slightly, obviously not believing Lance's statement, she pursed her lips, "Prove that you're not gay?" ”
Such offensive words made Lance laugh again, and instead of affirming or denying it, he asked rhetorically, "So, why did you nod your head in agreement?" ”
Kayla only felt a little hot in her cheeks, and she raised her chin and said haughtily, "It's not because of you, it's because of this restaurant." Kayla felt a rush of heat as Lance watched, she took a sip of her glass to hide her panic, and then turned her head to look at the restaurant's interior.
"You can come here whenever you want, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who want to be able to get that honor." Lance's words were plain and gentle, no flattery, no flamboyance, and the understatement revealed seriousness, so that Kayla's heartbeat couldn't help but start to accelerate.
"Really?" Kayla only felt her voice tremble, and she couldn't help but pick up the glass again.
Lance's eyes were staring at Kayla's deeply, as if he could see through her soul, "You're beautiful tonight." ”
Kayla was a little cramped, such a simple and straightforward compliment easily broke through her defenses, those eyes seemed to have magical powers, people couldn't look at them directly, she avoided the gaze a little wolfly, the fierce beating of her heart made her confused, but she immediately realized her grandeur - like a fourteen-year-old girl, so she boldly raised her head, met Lance's gaze, and decided to strike first.
"So, why is this restaurant called that?" Kayla took the initiative to change the subject, trying to dispel the atmosphere in the air.
As if Lance didn't seem to notice Kayla's intentions, he leaned back slightly in his chair, his eyes drooping slightly, hiding the light from his eyes, "Scarpetta is the Italian word for making small shoes, but it is also a slang term for the act of eating the sauce that remains on a zài dish with a small slice of bread." ”
"Is that so?" Kayla apparently didn't expect that the name "eat and wipe out" was actually a slang term, and it represented a vulgar and rude gesture that did not match the image of a high-end restaurant.
Lance nodded, "But this short word is very expressive, isn't it?" ”
It expresses the deliciousness of the dish vividly, and people are reluctant to waste a drop. Thinking about it carefully, Kayla also had to agree, but she didn't give up, "I hope the dishes here can really deserve this name." ”
"You can try to challenge the authority of the chef." Lance shrugged his shoulders unmindfully, and his light-hearted playful tone made Kayla frown unconvinced, "Don't think I don't dare. ”
Lance didn't raise his eyes, but said casually, "I'm sure you dare." If it were me, I wouldn't have lowered my gaze. ”
A simple sentence made Kayla pause, the sharp and sharp excuse disappeared, gently biting his lower lip, looking at Lance deeply, the smile on the corner of his mouth had bloomed, but with a trace of helplessness, he wanted to refute, but he didn't know how to start, and a trace of chagrin and coquettishness flashed in his eyes.
Not long ago, "King Arthur" was grandly released in North America, and as a result, the film ushered in a fiasco at both the box office and word of mouth, and Michael Eisner was rumored to be furious, and he had a head-on confrontation with Jerry Bruckheimer, because this work has a good chance of replacing "Troy" as the biggest loss-making work so far this year.
As the heroine, Kayla is also under a lot of pressure, especially after the explosion of three films last year, this time the box office fiasco made her a target of the gun - countless people are questioning whether she is a flash in the pan. In a recent public interview, a reporter directly sarcastically said that the failure of "King Arthur" was not because Kayla's **** was too young - almost invisible.
Kayla choked back directly on the spot, "If the success or failure of the work is only measured by ****, I don't even have a chance to win the first role." The calm posture made the reporters speechless, and then Kayla also said bluntly, "For those viewers who want to go into the cinema to watch ****, I think it would be a wiser decision for them to choose 'Troy'." A counterattack directly made all the reporters around laugh.
-- "Troy" Ryblad Pitt's upper circumference size is indeed "a big attraction".
So, this is what Lance said. (To be continued.) )
