Seeing that the Oscars are approaching day by day, a sudden change disrupts Jude's entire plan.

"Denzel Washington invited us to his house, on the night of the Oscars?"

Jude held his head in his hands and put his fingers in his hair, looking completely unrecognizable to the news.

Kate, with the phone in hand, shrugged her shoulders regretfully and told Jude with great certainty that it was true.

"But how did he know your number?" The sensitive Jude immediately pointed out the biggest suspicion in this matter.

"It's Ritter." Kate put down her phone and explained, "Mr. Washington knew he was my agent, so he got my contact information through him. ”

"But it still doesn't make sense why he suddenly invited the two of us to his house, or was it just a guest? I don't think it's that simple, there won't be such a coincidence in the world, just when I was going to find him to be the leading actor of my movie, I followed him to find the door by myself, someone must have leaked the news! Jude pressed one hand to his head, looking very bad.

"Are you suspicious of Ritter?" Kate instantly guessed what Jude was worried about, walked over and hugged him and said, "I know you haven't been getting along with Rhett for a while now, but I specifically asked about this matter, and Rhett swore to me that he had never contacted Denzel Washington, and even when the other agent's agent called, he thought it was a phone scam." ”

Jude frowned suspiciously, "Did he really say that himself?" ”

Kate nodded in affirmation.

Jude was relieved, after all, no one wanted to have a self-assertive agent next to him, and it was best if Li Te had nothing to do with this matter, but the doubts in his heart were still not solved.

Who exactly leaked the news?

The biggest possibility is that someone inside the new line company, the last time Andrew Walker, the screenwriter of "The Seven Deadly Sins", took the initiative to come to the door, Jude still remembers it very clearly, this time maybe someone who has a good relationship with Denzel Washington accidentally said it, of course, this is the best outcome. From a conspiracy theory perspective, Shay White could also be a leaker, and he has been unhappy with Jude's delay in meeting with Denzel Washington, and secretly leaking the news to Denzel Washington can undoubtedly speed things up.

Jude suddenly regretted telling Shay White the news of Anthony Hopkins' joining so early, and the news of inviting Denzel Washington to star was also gone, and the last thing Jude wanted to see if the news of Anthony Hopskin's participation was also leaked.

"I think you should put this aside for a moment and take care of how to deal with Denzel Washington's invitation." Kate put her arm around Jude's neck and suggested earnestly.

"It's all my fault, I'm sorry I won't be able to deliver on my promise tomorrow night." Jude had agreed to watch the Oscars live with Kate, and both had even begun to plan what they were going to eat that night, even snacks like popcorn and beer were ready.

Kate smiled and shook her head, "Actually, these two things don't conflict, unless Denzel doesn't have a TV at home." ”

Denzel Washington did not have a work nominated for the Oscars this year, nor was he invited as a guest of honor, but this does not mean that he is indifferent to this Hollywood filmmaker's event, Jude is full of thoughts about how to convince Denzel Washington to star in "The Seven Deadly Sins" after the meeting, so he naturally ignores this issue.

"What do you think we should do to prepare for convenience, such as what kind of gifts should we bring?"

"For formal gifts, a bottle of red wine is enough, but we also need to prepare some gifts for children." Kate took out a small notebook and began to record as she spoke: "Denzel's eldest son is ten years old and loves rugby, and the gifts we have prepared can be related to this; The second daughter is seven years old, and a doll is most in line with the interests of a little girl of this age; As for the youngest remaining group of twin girls, who are only three years old, a set of building blocks will satisfy them. ”

When she was done, she stopped writing, looked at Jude and said, "Is there anything else you need to add?" ”

Jude looked at his girlfriend in surprise, "How do you know these things?" ”

"Are you referring to Denzel's family profile? These were all sent to me by Ritter, and he said I would definitely need them then. Kate winked at Jude, "It's not an agent's job, I think he's trying to repair your relationship." ”

"Maybe." Jude didn't want to express his opinion on this issue, so he immediately changed the subject and said: "Although we are not going to the Oscars dinner this time, we should still try to dress as formally, don't you think?" ”

"So tomorrow at noon, you have to accompany me to go shopping and pick out the right clothes." Kate directly announced her plan, and deliberately emphasized: "Don't refuse!" ”

Jude reluctantly accepted the arrangement, but he was thinking about how to pass the boring time of the whole noon tomorrow.

When he left the house at noon the next day, Jude bought a few newspapers to take with him, and was going to wait in the store for Kate to try on clothes to take them out, but he soon found that this was not a very wise decision, because there were so many brand fashion stores in the Beverly Hills shopping area, and Kaitra walked Jude one by one, and the average time he stayed in each store did not exceed ten minutes, so that he did not have time to read the newspapers at all.

Although there was basically no noteworthy news in the newspapers during this time, and all kinds of pages were completely occupied by Oscar-related news, in Jude's opinion, this was more interesting than shopping with his girlfriend.

"What do you think of this?" In the Armani brand store, Kate asked, carrying a new white dress.

Jude sipped the coffee served in the store as he shifted his gaze from the newspaper in his hand to his girlfriend.

"I think it's good, maybe you can try it first."

As soon as the words fell, a bitter sarcasm suddenly came from the side.

"When did Giorgio Armani become so visionless? It's ridiculous that a man and a woman who obviously just come in to try on clothes but never buy them are actually served as customers! ”

Jude and Kate, who was about to take her clothes and try them on, turned their heads together to look in the direction where the voice came from.

The sarcasm was a tall, lanky woman in her thirties with freckles on her face, but what was even more annoying was her commanding attitude.

"What are you watching me do? Just because I exposed your true purpose, it makes you feel weak or angry, right? ”

Kate grabbed the clothes in her hand, looking angry, but before she could refute, Jude had already turned his head to look at the salesman standing next to Kate and asked, "Who is this stupid woman?" ”

Originally, Jude's ignorance had already made the other party very angry, and when he heard such a question again, he suddenly exploded like a cat that had been stepped on its tail.

"Did you hear that? How dare he scold me! I ask you to get these two out at once, right now! She pointed at Jude and yelled at the salesman next to her.

The manager, who rushed to hear the news, reluctantly explained: "Sorry, Ms. Raul, everyone who enters Armani's store is our customer, and we have no right to drive them away. ”

"If these two are customers, then what am I?" The woman immediately pointed to herself and asked.

The manager obviously didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he tried his best to reassure him, "Of course you're our customer, but I'll take care of this matter, Miss Stone's custom-made dress is already packed, and you can take it with you right now." ”

At this moment, an inopportune voice suddenly sounded.

"Wait a minute, when did I say she could go?"
