Chapter 18: Accosting
If it had been a few days ago, when George first came to Las Vegas, maybe he wouldn't have wanted to get to know her so much, because at that time all his thoughts were about when he would enter the NBA.
Now, he has confirmed that he can join the NBA, and a big stone in his heart has finally been put down, and he has other aspects of leisure.
Full of warm thoughts**, this is not false at all.
Even Erin encouraged George to come forward and talk to him, but George was still a little shy and said, "People are dining, so I'll just go over like this, it's too presumptuous." ”
Dining with Olsen was a mediocre-looking same-sex girlfriend, seeing that the two were about the same age, Erin said: "What's this, for a woman, as long as she dresses up decently and is glamorous and sexy, it is not a presumptuous time, and it is not a beautiful time." ”
Jeremy Lin's agent, Roger Montgomery, who was also at the dinner table, saw that George was interested in the girl, and he also saw that he was a shy boy, so he said: "Joe's concern is also reasonable, why don't we order the food first, Joe keeps an eye on them while eating, and if you find that they are finished eating and are ready to leave, at that time, you can go and get to know each other." ”
Hearing Roger's suggestion, the black agent, Matt Ryan couldn't help but smile and pointed at the other party, "Roger, you are really an old fox, or do you have experience." ”
Roger hurriedly said modestly: "Don't dare, don't dare, as far as talking to a girl, I'll compare it with you, it's like comparing Andrew Bynum with Shaquille O'Neal, it's not at the same level at all, haha." ”
Roger gave a good suggestion, which George did not say explicitly, but acquiesced, and ordered with them first, and because his mind was all on Miss Elizabeth Olson, he forgot what he had ordered.
When eating appetizers, George, as Roger said, kept his eyes on Olsen's movements, and was afraid that a distraction would cause them to finish eating and leave, and Jeremy Lin and Ryan, who were at the same table, didn't listen to their conversation.
When the delicious tuna sashimi was served, Erin suddenly asked Jeremy Lin and the others to stop talking and asked George, "Joe, let me ask you a question, what was the Amuse bouche you just ate?" The rest of you don't talk. ”
George thought about it, and really forgot about it......
"Hahaha......" Seeing that George really couldn't answer, Ryan, Jeremy Lin and others all laughed.
Erin looked incredulous: "Wouldn't it? Brother, is that girl so charming? It makes you not even remember what you just ate, obviously not as beautiful as me. ”
Erin pursed her lips, as if she was very dissatisfied with this brother, and suddenly lost her appetite and put down the dishes.
[Haha, my sister is angry, hurry up and coax it. 】
[Is my sister jealous, 'Shaq jump' to make up for it.] 】
After a few seconds, George suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Amuse bouche is eating bacon cheese macaron and sea urchin risotto, how can I not know what I just ate?" Of course she's not as beautiful as you, I have such a beautiful sister, even if I meet a beautiful woman, I don't think I'm a beauty anymore, let's eat. ”
"Hey, hey." Erin saw that George was not fascinated by the strange woman, and was praised again, and the appetite that had been reduced in an instant was restored in an instant.
At this time, in the live broadcast room, someone was scolding......
[Which bastard sent a barrage to tell the anchor the answer! ] 】
That's right, George only knew what the appetizer was after watching the barrage sent by the audience in time......
George's father, Byron, once talked to George about emotional things, Byron said to George, if one day, you meet a girl, you can't extricate yourself because of her heartbeat, you have to learn to enjoy that moment, even if sometimes this kind of moment is very uncomfortable, but that is the best way to love, as you get older, that feeling will become less and less, less and less, and even become finally gone.
So, George was like Byron said, he enjoyed the moment, the feeling of sitting at the table in the distance and looking at her from afar, enjoying every smile she had in the distance.
Frankly, George even hoped that this kind of moment would last forever, even if the other party didn't know about his existence at all, because George was not sure what the final result would be once the two met.
However, George still saw that they had finished their meal, and as the two smiled and talked, they had gradually gotten up and left.
"Hey, they're leaving, let's go say hello, at least we know what they're called." Mattrion didn't just care about eating and chatting, he also kept an eye on George.
Jeremy Lin also joked: "Joe, if you don't go, I'll go." ”
Since George himself wanted to get to know him, and his friends and the audience in the live broadcast room were urging him to do so, George boldly got up and walked over.
As the two approached, George saw Elizabeth Olsen more clearly.
Olsen wore a white striped shirt with a pair of white high-waisted slacks, looking fresh and lovely, and her sweet smile also gave people a breezy feeling, but the thought of her becoming a famous Hollywood actress made George still a little nervous.
“hi。” George walked over to Olsen.
Olsen noticed the man who had been spying on him for a long time, glanced at George, and suddenly became a little nervous, Olsen responded politely, and then waited for what George said next.
"Well, I thought you were a friend I've known for a long time, and I came over to find out that I recognized the wrong person, but seeing your appearance, I didn't think I had to stop, so I walked over anyway, hello, my name is Mike George, and I really want to get to know you." George felt that his ears were a little hot when he said this.
Elizabeth Olsen is only 21 years old and has not yet started her career as an actress, and is still studying acting at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts.
As a beautiful woman from childhood to adulthood, Olsen already knew what George was here for, she was very happy, she was able to win the love of Asians, Olsen looked at each other, and said, "Hello, you are so tall, are you an athlete?" ”
George nodded, "Yes, I came to Las Vegas to play in the Summer League, and I'm about to enter the NBA." ”
"Oh, is it? What team are you on in that? Olsen was pleasantly surprised to hear that it was an NBA player who had come to talk to him.
"New York Knicks." George Road.
"Elizabeth, it's time for us to go." Just as the two were chatting, and George was about to wait for an opportunity to ask her for contact information, suddenly, the female friend opposite Olsen got up and wanted to pull Olsen away.
It wasn't until this moment that George took a serious look at Olsen's companion, she looked average, and her figure was far from Olsen, but as soon as the woman spoke, Olsen also got up, and the two were about to leave immediately.
"This ......" George looked at Olsen with a reluctant expression.
Before leaving, Olson said to George, "Nice to meet you, we have to go, I'll go to Madison Square Garden to watch you play when I have time, bye." ”
With that, Olsen walked away from him.
The failure of the pick-up made the audience in the live broadcast room also explode.
[Who is that ugly woman with Olsen!] The anchor accosted Olsen, not her, why did she pull Olsen away? 】
[Don't be afraid, anchor, I just checked the information for you, she is also in New York, studying acting at the New York University Disch School of Art, you can go to New York and go directly to her! ] 】
George returned to his seat with a look of disappointment, and Ryan and the others both saw what was happening.
Ryan patted George on the shoulder and comforted: "Blame me for not teaching you what to do, you must have gone directly to that beautiful girl, and didn't even look at another girl, the girl who was snubbed was angry, so I ruined your good deeds, usually when I pick up a beautiful woman, no matter how ugly her friend is, I will praise the two of them together." ”
Erin said: "My brother is not like you who is a veteran of the love field, where does he understand this?" In fact, every pretty girl will have a not-so-beautiful friend around her, sometimes several, I also have it at school, they will take the initiative to play with me, we sometimes go out together, attract attention, they will enjoy that feeling, but if someone completely ignores them, they will prevent me from getting to know other people in the name of protecting me, frankly, I hate this kind of behavior, maybe that beautiful girl really wants to know you, but because of the relationship between friends, she has to do this to you. ”
At this point, steaks were already serving at the table, George smiled and said to them, "It's okay, I already know who she is, and I'm sure we'll meet again!" ”
