"Tell me about it, I'm really curious about the work of the judges." In the light of the candlelight, Sean asked softly, and made an interested look.

"There's not much to say, Sean," Natalie shrugged as she took a sip of wine, "it's no different from most judges, constantly watching movies and discussing with other judges. ”

"If I knew that was the case, maybe I should have invested in an independent film and brought it to Cannes this year." Glancing at the small restaurant, Sean suddenly lowered his voice and said, making an intimate appearance.

"If that's the case, I'm definitely not going to vote for you." Natalie chuckled as if to say, "Don't be delusional."

"Even if it's really an excellent work? Why? Sean gave an innocent look, "Just because of our relationship?" But no one knows, does it? ”

Natalie raised an eyebrow, obviously understanding what he meant, but she didn't explain more, and looked at him with a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, "Because I want to." ”

Sean was silent for a moment, then sighed softly and took the hand she had placed on the table: "I'm sorry. ”

“…… Get used to it," Natalie was silent for a moment, her eyes looking at the few guests in the restaurant, "I should have thought of this from the beginning of my date with you...... Frankly, I don't know if I should go any further. ”

"Nata!" Sean was really nervous right now.

"I don't know, Sean, I'm embarrassed because ...... It's clear to me that you can't put your energy on me, can you? Natalie looked at him calmly.

"I know...... But......" Sean wanted to say something more, but didn't know how to say it.

The back half of the dinner at Natalie's restaurant, which was located in a remote corner of Cannes but tasted good, was rather dull. Natalie is telling the truth, and Sean admits it, but he really doesn't want to let go, so it becomes a knot.

"I'll send you back?" After leaving the restaurant, looking at the late sky, Sean asked.

"Forget it." Natalie replied lightly, "It's Cannes, and it's full of reporters these days." ”

"Don't do that, Nata." Sean couldn't help but scream softly.

"So what can I do?" Natalie didn't hesitate to look at him.

After a while, Sean was defeated, but he still refused to give up: "At least walk with me for a while, you have already come out to have dinner with me anyway, haven't you?" ”

Natalie sighed when she heard this, and looked at him with beautiful eyes: "Okay." ”

Sean breathed a sigh of relief, then made a gesture of please, and the two walked side by side along the old stone and brick road. But they did not speak, and walked in silence until the night wind blew.

It is true that Cannes in May is very hot, but the temperature difference between morning and evening is very large, and it is near the sea, and the night breeze blows, and you will really catch a cold if you wear thin clothes. Although Natalie had a dress over the purple dress she wore when she stood on the platform for "Ocean's Thirteen" the day before, she still involuntarily covered her arms when the evening breeze blew.

Sean naturally took off his coat and draped it over her, and although Natalie did not refuse, they still did not speak to each other.

In this way, they slowly circled around the surrounding streets and finally came to the parking lot.

"I'm back, thank you for your clothes, Sean." In front of her rented car, Natalie said as she handed her coat back.

Then, she turned around to get into the car, but Sean hugged her from behind.

"Sean." Natalie didn't struggle, just cried softly.

"I really miss you, Nata, I know I can't answer any of your questions, but...... I miss you so much......" Sean said with his head on her shoulder, his eyes closed, and in a genuine tone.

Natalie didn't say anything more, just stood there, still holding herself for a long time.

Sean finally let go, no matter how unwilling he was, he couldn't force Natalie to stay, the previous Oscar night had already disgusted her, and if she came back, the consequences would be terrible.

However, Natalie also turned around at this time, stretched out a hand to hold his face, and sighed faintly: "You are indeed a very gentle and considerate man, Sean, if you are not a painter......"

She laughed to herself, then shook her head, opened the car door and sat down, "That's it, this dinner...... It's still pretty good. ”

Hearing this, Sean couldn't help but smile with joy, but he quickly controlled his emotions, didn't show too much, coughed lightly and leaned over to the car window: "Then, good night." ”

"Good night." Natalie replied, and hesitated, as she leaned over and kissed him lightly on the cheek.

Then, she raised the window and watched Sean get back into her car before she let out a soft sigh, then tapped her head with an impatient look, and finally snorted disdainfully.

Sean didn't know this, he quickly drove back to the car, and in his opinion, as long as Natalie didn't explicitly end their relationship, then everything still had room to turn around. Yes, he really can't solve those problems, but as long as the relationship doesn't end for a day, there is hope for a day.

What hope? He didn't dare to think about it, it was good enough to be able to maintain the current state, and the rest, let's talk about it - in this respect, he was indeed dizzy now.

Ding Dong Ding Dong, not long after returning to the hotel where he was staying, the doorbell rang, and Sean, who was about to take a shower, had to stop his actions and go over to open the door.

"Emma?" Looking at the girl outside the door, Sean was a little surprised, "Is there something wrong?" ”

As she spoke, she welcomed in, where did Emma go to the movies tonight, wearing a black long-sleeved shirt and floral shorts, and her two slender legs were exposed, but it was a little sexy.

"I received a notice from the crew of "The Dark Knight" a little later, if you can, I hope you can go back in one to two days in the morning." Emma said this after sitting down, and then pulled out some papers, apparently intending to wait for him to make a decision, and then make adjustments right in front of him.

"Hell, I know." Sean immediately grabbed his head and complained, "Christo is always like this, I wish I could squeeze out more time, it's really ......"

He waved next door, not knowing what to say, it was the same when he was filming "Deadly Magic", he was supposed to give him five days to go to Cannes, but as soon as the premiere of "Babel" passed, he immediately called him to go back as soon as possible.

"Isn't that normal?" Emma said with a calm expression, "Since you are now the male protagonist of "The Dark Knight", it is reasonable for the crew to ask you to go back early, isn't it?" ”

"Of course, I know, but ......" Sean continued to scratch his head, then looked at Emma with something in mind, "How do I think...... Are you on the crew's side? ”

"Because the crew is the right request." Emma shrugged expressionlessly.

"I'm your boss." Sean deliberately sank his face.

"Even if you're my boss, you can't deny the facts." Emma said that there was a faint hint of provocation in the back.

Sean, who could hear it, looked at her a little strangely, and then muttered, "I just want to rest a little more." ”

"Do you want to continue with Natalie? Portman dating, right? Emma said this suddenly, which was no less than a thunderbolt in Sean's ear, making him almost jump.

You know, his dating with Natalie is very secret, even Galen and Frederick don't know about it, obviously suddenly revealed his heart, it is inevitable that there will be a feeling of being exposed in broad daylight.

"What are you talking about?" Sean twitched the corners of his mouth, trying to squeeze out a surprised expression on his face, he was a person who had seen strong winds and waves after all, and he controlled his emotions in time and didn't really jump.

"I saw you, outside Tros Street, you walked together, and you took off your clothes and put on her." Emma continued, her face becoming strange, a little surprised, and at the same time a little ...... Accurate?

But Sean didn't have time to care about this, he just looked at his assistant in a daze, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"You want to say that's not you?" After a while, Emma finally spoke again.

"That...... Well...... This ......" Sean made a meaningless gesture and walked back and forth around the room twice, finally stopping and smiling wryly: "Okay, she and I are indeed dating." ”

Then he squatted down in front of Emma in a few steps, grabbed her hands and gave her earnest gaze: "Don't tell anyone, okay?" ”

Emma opened her mouth, as if to agree, but she showed an annoyed look again, and her face changed several times before finally sighing: "I think you should have dated her before, right?" ”

"Hmm...... Yes. Sean nodded.

"You've already been laid, haven't you?" Emma continued.

"Hmm...... Yes. Sean continued to nod.

"So, the previous gossip was right?" Emma took a deep breath.

"Mostly." Sean spread his hands.

Emma involuntarily covered her forehead: "How should I describe you......"

Although she was a little strange in her heart, she was just her assistant, how could she show such a look, Sean still took out the ability to coax women before and said, "I'm sorry, Emma, but ...... I really like her. ”

"How many women have you said that?" Emma suddenly opened her eyes and asked angrily.

"I know, but ......," Sean smiled wryly, "Nata is different, how I feel about her...... It's strong, it's unusual, I've never thought it's like this, I hope it'...... Hopefully she'll always be around...... Well, I admit that this has the credit of the movie she played, Queen Amidala who doesn't like it, just ......"

Listening to these words, Emma, who was watching him, involuntarily slowly grew her mouth with an expression of disbelief.

"What's wrong, is there anything on my face?" Sean looked back and saw her look like this for a few seconds.

"Don't you think...... Are you weird right now? Emma frowned and looked at him fixedly, "It's completely different from usual, like a ...... Hairy boy in love...... I feel the danger, Sean. ”
