Chapter 346: Giving Something Will Be Rewarded
"What should I do?"
The resistance from the family seems to have caused trouble for the girl, "When facing my father, I feel very depressed, he is forcing me to make a choice. ”
Natalie, with drunken hazy eyes, looked at Duke, as if seeking answers.
Is this girl really drunk? Duke wasn't sure, he put down his glass and pointed to his heart, "When you can't see the road clearly, you just need to follow here." ”
In an instant, Duke turned into a literary and artistic man.
"Follow here?"
Touching her left chest with her right hand, Natalie thought for a moment, put her left arm on the bar, leaned forward slightly, ordered the empty glass, and said to Duke, "One more drink." ”
He took the red wine and poured it for himself and Natalie, Duke clinked glasses with her and drank it down.
Natalie's hands were on the bar, her eyes were thin and long, and her blushing face was not far in front, Duke learned Natalie's posture and put his two arms on the bar, and the distance between the two immediately shortened a lot.
Half a foot away from Duke's eyes was Natalie's well-defined face, she was indeed not very pretty, but she had a shrewd and agile temperament, especially on her body, and she could faintly see the traces of Matilda.
Duke hesitated for a few seconds as his right index finger slowly circled the bar, and finally tentatively reached out his left hand and gently pinched Natalie's chin.
Unexpectedly, Natalie was picked up by his jaw and did not break free immediately, but looked at him with brown eyes.
Duke didn't hesitate any longer, pinpointed the two red lips, and kissed them.
Natalie still didn't mean to dodge. Instead, under Duke's skillful inducement, he closed his eyes and fully cooperated with this deep kiss.
The two of them crossed the bar, and the kiss turned from slow and soft to intense, and after a full two minutes, until it felt difficult to breathe. only to gradually separate.
The moment they parted, Duke walked around the bar, grabbed Natalie's slender arm, pulled her closer to his arms, and firmly grasped the thin waist with his other hand.
As if sensing something, Natalie put her hands on Duke's chest, trying to distance herself from her body, which was about to turn negative.
"No, Duke......" she was struggling, "I think we're moving too fast." We should keep our distance. ”
"Nat, do you really think so?"
At such a moment, how could Duke stop, hugged Natalie sideways with both arms, and walked towards the bedroom, Natalie's hands hung on his neck for the first time, and the two kissed again.
Neither of these people is a good man or a woman, when they are emotional. When it comes to their hearts, they just want to follow the most primitive thoughts.
Duke has never been the kind of person who only cares about his own feelings. Compared to Natalie's jerky, he can be described as a skilled veteran, and when Natalie's brow was furrowed because of the pain, he kissed her frowning brow knot with the gentlest kiss......
The bedroom finally fell silent, and Duke carried Natalie out of the bathroom. Placed on the thick mattress that had just been replaced, Natalie pulled a blanket next to her with her backhand, wrapping herself tightly, revealing only one head outside.
"My phone is in the living room." She turned to look at Duke wrapped in a bath towel, "I'm going to call home." ”
"Huh?" Duke didn't quite understand what she meant.
"What do you think of my current situation. Can you go home tonight? She said hatefully.
Duke smiled slightly awkwardly, walked out of the bedroom, found Natalie's handbag, and handed it to her when she came back, Natalie flipped out her phone, made a call to her mother, and after saying a reason not to go home, she hung up the phone and threw it next to the pillow, and her brown eyes found Duke again with a little thought.
The wine went down, love. Lust was gone, her mind was clear, and the confusion in Natalie's eyes turned to shrewdness.
"Anything else?"
Duke walked over and sat down next to her, reaching out and gently caressing her face, tapping on the little mole as he passed it.
Natalie grabbed Duke's hand and suddenly said, "I think I'm a fool." ”
"Why do you say that?"
If she's a fool, then there really aren't many smart people in Hollywood, Duke grabbed her wrist instead, his index finger and thumb parted to the sides, and slowly rubbed the protruding knuckles on it, "How can you be a fool, Nat?" ”
"I knew you had bad intentions, but I still let you succeed." She looked at Duke's eyes, and there was no longer the previous blur and lust, "I don't want to be a playboy **." ”
"Honey, you won't."
Duke had never thought of finding such a complicated girl to do a long-term **, to put it bluntly, it was just one or more night stands, he leaned over Natalie's forehead and kissed it, "Nat......"
Without waiting for Duke to say anything more, Natalie interrupted him, "Duke, this is my first time!" ”
Duke's brow furrowed slightly, the meaning of the reminder in this sentence was so obvious.
Breaking free of Duke's hand, Natalie stepped back slightly, leaning back on the head of the bed, her eyes becoming as high as Duke's.
"This is also our last!" She said lightly.
Having said that, Duke still doesn't quite understand what Natalie means, when it comes to means and experience, she may still be a little behind Hollywood's top actresses, but when it comes to the complexity of her heart, I'm afraid she can naturally rank among the top Hollywood actresses.
After saying that, Natalie looked straight at Duke, but said nothing.
The head of the joy rushed by the fulfillment of the once greatest wish just now was a little dizzy, but Natalie's attitude reminded Duke that they all belong to Hollywood, and the girl opposite will be one of the most shrewd actresses in Hollywood in the future.
In an instant, Duke remembered the phrase that has been circulating in Hollywood and he has always adhered to - hard work pays off!
This is Natalie? Portman?
A sneer suddenly appeared in his heart, and Duke felt that he was a fool, and made up his mind not to be influenced by the previous life, but he was still carried away by his former idol.
However, Duke then threw these thoughts away for the time being, and things had already happened. It's useless to think about it, and he's just a normal person, and it's not the first time that something stupid has happened.
Turning his head, Duke looked directly into Natalie's eyes, too lazy to go around in circles, "Say it." Nat, what do you want. ”
As he spoke, he got up and walked over to the hanger and sat down on the single couch, his checkbook in his pocket.
But Natalie's next words made Duke realize that he still underestimated the girl's shrewdness.
"Duke ......" Natalie lowered her eyelids, "I've given my first ......"
Hearing this, Duke suddenly laughed. "Nat, I've never made any deal with any of the actresses who have starred in my productions."
Naomi? Watts, Charlize? Theron, Catherine? Zeta? Jones and so on, Duke didn't get anything out of them with scripts or roles, and if these people didn't meet his requirements, no matter how much they paid, he wouldn't use them.
Which is more important, a tens of millions of dollars investment or a beautiful woman? Does this need to be chosen?
Natalie's face tightened a little, and she pursed her lips. "In the last two months, based on my observations and reflections. I discovered something that was very bad for my future. ”
The two were naked, just wrapped in blankets and towels, and there was a faint smell of love in the bedroom, but the atmosphere between the two was rapidly turning cold.
"Queen Aradhara has made me who I am now."
The girl is indeed very smart, "but I feel like she will limit my future!" ”
"You have a good eye, Nat." Duke answered.
Not to mention Matilda, who has no influence at all in North America and has been unanimously criticized by the mainstream media. Padmé? Is Queen Amidala Natalie? Portman's first truly famous role, the kind of role that has become popular all over the world is a dream for young actresses, and often turns into their nightmares in the future.
What are the consequences of an actor's fixed commercial image?
Johnny? Depp except for Jack? Captain Sparrow pounced on six in a row, Tom? Cruise without Ethan? Hunter......
As a matter of fact. After the Star Wars series, Natalie also had the same problem and couldn't even find a suitable character at one point.
Duke didn't expect that she was keenly aware of this problem now.
"No more going around the bush, Nat." Duke didn't bother to say anything, "Let's just say what you ask." ”
"Duke, that's nothing to you."
This smart girl knows how to stop in moderation, first put on a lion's mouth, lowered Duke's psychological bottom line, and then made not too excessive demands, "I can see that you don't like my character, if we have a chance to cooperate, this will definitely affect your choice." So, if there is a role that suits me in your work in the future, please give me priority. ”
It's true that Natalie doesn't want much, and even for a Hollywood-style fair deal, these demands are not too much at all.
But Duke didn't want to agree so lightly, "I'll think about it, Nat." ”
He stood up with his clothes and walked towards the door, "Honey, you have a good rest, I will have someone take you home early tomorrow morning." ”
With that, Dukla opened the door and walked out, not looking back again.
This realistic scene once again reminded Duke not to look at the stars he liked with his former vision and wishes!
Natalie watched Duke's back disappear and said nothing, knowing she was on the underdog right now.
The next day, Duke still gave a thoughtful reply, and then threw Natalie to Tina? Filipino dealt with it, and he continued to be busy with the super promotional show that was about to officially begin.
On Sunday morning, the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan was crowded with reporters, including hundreds of reporters, and even six television vans drove up to broadcast the hyped show to North America and the entire Western world. (To be continued......)
