323 Shift focus
Brian Barlow was crouching downstairs at Chaos Pictures' company at this time, looking at the empty door, then retracted his gaze, looked down at his phone, and continued to dial the next phone number, he had been waiting here for almost an hour, this is where Lance is most likely to appear; At the same time, he did not sit still, but kept calling his inside line, hoping to complete the positioning of Lance as much as possible.
At this moment, another mobile phone in the passenger seat rang, Brian quickly picked up the phone, looked at the call number, and then quickly hung up the phone he was talking to, and threw the phone away, and the other phone had already been picked up, "What?" Are you sure? Where did I get the news? Brian was talking to each other quickly as he restarted the engine.
It was discovered that Brian's car began to move, and many people nearby turned their eyes. At this time, there are at least thirteen cars around Chaos Pictures that are the eyes of reporters, and as long as one person moves, others also begin to verify the information. Just a few seconds ago, it was still calm; In the blink of an eye, everyone was in a commotion, and the cars began to start one after another, and the noise was like the boss announcing the end of work en masse.
The news that Lance was leaving Malibu and was about to arrive home was like wings, and it circled quickly over the City of Angels.
It seems that after leaving the Montage Hotel last night, Lance actually ran to Malibu. Brian's first thought was that Lance was going to Malibu for the second round of the faction - and if that was the case, then the scandal would be even more intense; Even if it weren't, Lance traveled to Malibu in the middle of the night and didn't return until the morning, and there was a lot to dig into...... Thinking of this, Brian felt his blood boiling.
Brian inquired about the news. The Los Angeles Times received the news at the last minute before printing, but there was no evidence at the time, and in the end, the editor-in-chief hesitated, gritted his teeth and vacated the page, and when he got the photos, he quickly printed them, and finished the work before they hit the shelves in the morning. This is the scoop. The paparazzi chose the "Los Angeles Times" instead of the "San Francisco Chronicle", Brian felt a little frustrated, but it was not enough to discourage him, and he was bound to get first-hand information about the follow-up news of the scandal!
It was only a ten-minute drive from Chaos Pictures to Lyndon Street, where Lance's apartment was located, but because of traffic jams along the way, he was still blocked two streets away for twenty-five minutes, and he could only keep praying in his heart. Lance was also stuck in traffic jams, don't get home so quickly. Brian simply gritted his teeth, parked the car in a random empty spot, and then trotted all the way over with the camera.
From a distance, Brian saw that there were already three or four reporters standing at the door of the apartment, although there were not many, but it was enough to show that more and more people were receiving inside information. Brian didn't have time to catch his breath. Quickly ran over, the only thing he had hope for now was. Lance arrived home as soon as possible, before the other reporters arrived - the change of mind was only a matter of moments.
"That's Lance!" Through a traffic light, someone saw a red retro Mustang, and through the front window of the car, Lance could see the figure of Lance in the driver's seat, and Brian rushed out directly, not caring about the danger to his life at all. Aim at the driver's seat and start pressing the shutter wildly.
The red Mustang slowed down and finally stopped at the door of the apartment, and as expected, Lance opened the door and stepped out. Brian pressed the lens of his camera up and pressed the shutter quickly. Trying to record every detail of Lance's expression at this time, not only Brian, but also several other reporters rushed up, although there were only five people at this time, but they firmly surrounded Lance and couldn't wait to start throwing questions.
"Are you really in a relationship with Kayla?"
"What the hell were you doing in Montage for four hours yesterday!"
"When did you start dating? How long has it been? ”
"Why did you go to Malibu last night? Do you want to participate in the pie? ”
"Are you going to date Kayla Steady?"
…… The sound of questions one after another gave the illusion of being surrounded by dozens of people, and the five reporters frantically threw out questions without missing any gap. Brian shouted loudly, "Is dating real?" Are you sure? What do you have to say? What do you think of Kayla? What are your expectations for this relationship? When did you start? One question after another, barely breathing, and even if Lance didn't answer any of the questions out loud, the cacophony of questions never stopped.
Lance's footsteps moved slowly, but the five people were surrounded by them, following Lance every step of the way, this small group of people was like ants with breadcrumbs, walking frequently but slowly, the scene really made people cry and laugh, there was an inexplicable sense of joy.
In this gap time, seven or eight more people chased after them, and they swarmed up, and there was a trend of continuous growth. In the biteze, a dozen reporters completely imprisoned Lance in place, and the increasingly bloated crumbs of bread had evolved into marshmallows, and Lance couldn't take a step at all, and finally had to stop helplessly.
"Quiet! Be quiet! Lance shouted loudly, but his voice was completely drowned out, and he couldn't get out at all, in desperation, he could only take a deep breath, and then a force jumped out directly from the dantian, "Quiet!" The roar was like thunder on the ground, and all sounds disappeared in an instant, except for the restless noise that rippled in the air.
Lance raised his hands and rubbed his temples, a trace of exhaustion between his eyebrows, as if he had just experienced an all-night gambling or a hangover and was not fully awake, he closed his eyes and adjusted his breathing, and then he said, "I just came back from Malibu, what happened?" Can someone sue me? ”
There is no usual humor, no usual cunning, and no strong ...... It can be clearly felt that Lance's "aura" seems to have shrunk a lot today.
Brian's eyes lit up, which not only meant that last night's scandal was likely to be true, but also that Lance's night in Malibu was wild. This time, Lance couldn't escape, which made Brian a little excited, but he still suppressed his feelings and shouted, "Lance, did you spend the night in Malibu last night?" ”
Lance's gaze skimmed, but the blue eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and looked a little cloudy; Moreover, Lance did not have his usual aggressiveness, even if he saw him, he did not show a special edge, which made Brian secretly happy in his heart, he always had an indescribable grievance when facing Lance in the first few times, and today he can finally gain the upper hand.
Thinking of this, Brian couldn't help but press the shutter in his hand again, and recorded Lance's wolfish appearance completely.
The flash seemed to irritate Lance's eyes, and he couldn't help but close his eyes, and raised his right hand to cover his cheek, which is the simplest symptom after a hangover. Lance raised his voice, "If you're just here to discuss my daily life, then you can leave. ”
It's still a Lance-style counterattack, and even in a hangover state, he's not that easy to deal with. However, Brian was not discouraged, because Lance's attack was not violent, and he did not deny his question just now, which was actually equivalent to nodding in acknowledgement. "So, did you send duì until dawn last night?" Bryan attacked again.
Lance lowered his right hand and looked at Brian with a slight frown, then he looked away and looked at the other reporters, "Who can tell me what the hell happened?" Why are so many people preventing me from going home? ”
Seeing Lance's evasion, Brian couldn't help but secretly clench his fists, he had even figured out how to write the news, "Kayla first and then send duì, belong to Lance's carnival night", this news is exciting enough! In a few words, Lance's bad man image can be shaped.
In the brief interval of the exchange, several more reporters arrived at the scene, and the crowd surrounding Lance was already approaching twenty people. At this point, someone finally brought up the topic to Lance, "Lance, were you with Kayla last night?" Are you guys dating? ”
Lance was stunned, as if his brain needed a little time, and then he smiled, "I remember, Kayla said, we're just friends. It's still strictly guarded, but there is a loophole in this sentence: "Kayla said", in other words, Lance's subtext is that whether it is a date or not, or the woman will say. This also continues the previous statement at the premiere.
"But, you stayed in the montage for more than four hours last night, did you spend four hours chatting?" Brian spoke up again, aggressively.
Lance glanced at Brian, his pupils shrank slightly, as if he was provoked, but then the smile was released again, "I did have dinner with Kayla last night, I've been very busy lately, so unfortunately I missed the premiere of Kayla's movie, and after finally having time, as an apology, I arranged this dinner." It's just a promise of the 'day after tomorrow' premiere. ”
At the premiere of "The Day After Tomorrow", Lance said that they had not met in private, and if they had dinner together after the premiere, it would be the first date. And this so-called "date" was not fulfilled until last night.
There was something in Lance's simple sentence, which triggered countless imaginations in an instant. However, Brian noticed that Lance still avoided the topic of staying overnight in the hotel, continuing the previous practice of never letting go lightly. Even so, Brian still had no intention of giving up, and he raised his voice again, "So, if you have the chance, will you ask her out again?" ”
Lance pursed his lips and said as if helplessly, "It's never up to the man to decide, is it?" (To be continued.) )
