Chapter 1: Anne Hathaway's Perspective
Manhattan, New York, August 2000.
Last night's light rain made the weather in New York look a little hot today.
Yesterday, Abel Smith received a call from his father, Alexander Smith.
The latter gave him time to go back to his hometown in Texas, and said that if he was not available, it would be okay not to come back.
Anyway, it's a bit verbose, but it's dispensable.
After hanging up the phone, Abel Smith planned to go home.
After graduating from Rice University, he went to New York for almost ten months, despite his family's objections.
Before, his parents also called him.
Usually just ask him if he has money to spend and if he can persevere.
I really couldn't do it, so I went home.
Anyway, there are more than 2,000 sheep, more than 1,000 cattle, more than 50 horses, more than 100 dogs, and more than 6,000 acres of land.
inherited the family business, and he couldn't starve to death.
However, it is the first time that he has been called home directly.
After thinking about it, he plans to go home today.
I casually packed two sets of clothes, simply put on a duffel bag, and was about to leave the bedroom.
Behind him, a slightly hoarse, but still nice voice sounded.
"Honey, what are you going to do when you wake up so early?"
Abel Smith looked back at the fair-skinned girl with a hazy face peeking out of the sheets.
"Oh, Annie. I told you about it last night. Today I'm going back to my hometown. ”
"Home? Oh, I remembered. You're going to Texas? ”
"Yes."
"So what should I do?"
"Ha~" Abel Smith, who was carrying a simple duffel bag, put down the duffel bag and turned back.
He came to the bedside, leaned down, and kissed the girl on the face.
“wuma~”
Don't want to kiss your mouth.
Just got up, didn't brush my teeth, the smell was a bit big!
Adults are like that.
Even if you are as beautiful as Anne Hathaway, you will still have bad breath if you don't brush your teeth or rinse your mouth when you just wake up.
"What are you going to do?" Holding Anne Hathaway, who is only wearing pajamas and is three months away from turning eighteen.
He smiled at the girl he had just succeeded in last month:
"You can take my butler and go all over Fifth Avenue."
"If you don't want to walk, you can also get in my Lincoln and let my driver and butler accompany you to the places you want to go most in Manhattan to play and shop."
"When you do this, you just need to take out the centurion card I gave you and swipe it for those waiters when you pay the bill."
"So about a week, maybe three or four days, and I'll be back."
"Trust me, you're not going to be bored at all."
Listening to what he said, I remembered the card he gave himself yesterday.
She remembered the location of the apartment she was in now.
Anne Hathaway, who is currently seventeen years old and only starred in one "The First Experience of Love" last year, and launched a season of TV series that was cut directly because of poor ratings, couldn't help but show a happy little smile on her face.
"Okay. I listen to you. ”
“wuma~”
Abel Smith gave her a gentle kiss on her white, beautiful, collagen-filled, soft and elastic face again.
"Obedient. I'm leaving. ”
"Hmm."
He put her down, then walked out of the bedroom and picked up his duffel bag.
Wait for Abel Smith to be gone.
Last night, Anne Hathaway, who had been tossed until late to sleep, was also sleepy.
She looked at the wall, which hung a beautiful clock encrusted with crystals and diamonds.
The clock showed that it was already ten o'clock in the morning.
Seeing this time, Anne Hathaway was finally willing to get up from the round Simmons.
As soon as it lands,
And she saw on the carpet,
White and black Balenciaga torn everywhere.
This made the girl's face blush, and then she noticed the soreness and exhaustion all over her body.
She couldn't help but mutter:
"It's like a bull. Is it true that you were born in Texas? ”
Think of it this way.
She went to the closet next to her and pulled out a set of clothes he had bought for her the day before.
This is a set of haute couture summer and autumn women's clothes bought in the Chanel store on Fifth Avenue downstairs.
A complete set of clothes, including a top, pants, scarf and coat, as well as matching eyewear.
There are five of them.
The price of a complete set is $43,000.
As far as Anne Hathaway knows.
Her father of a lawyer worked in Trenton, the capital of New Jersey.
The income in May of this year was $19,000.
She is the mother of both an actress and a singer, earning an average of about $10,000 a month.
She has been graduating for three years, working for three years, and her brother Michael, who is an editor at a newspaper in New Jersey, earns less than $4,000 a month.
Hathaway has a family of five, and the combined monthly income of the three people who work can probably earn less than $35,000 a month.
A monthly household income of $35,000 is much higher than the median monthly household income of $3,880 in the United States.
This income, even in New York, is considered a high-income person.
It is considered the top of the middle class in American society, and even higher is the rich family.
But....
Anne Hathaway, who has felt that she has a good family and a good income since she was a child.
Now I can't help but feel a little emotional-
The monthly income of his family is not even enough to buy himself a set of such clothes.
A set of Chanel haute couture, $43,000!!
It's beautiful!
Looking at the clothes hanging in the closet, she couldn't help but sigh.
It's good to be rich!!
After sighing, Anne Hathaway began to change her clothes.
After changing clothes, washing up, and putting on a little light makeup.
She had just come out of the bedroom.
The place where she is now is the house she identifies as her boyfriend, in New York.
It is a 7 bedroom, 9 bathroom, 7,500 square foot apartment located on the 18th floor of the Carnegie Hills Tower on Fifth Avenue.
From the master bedroom to the living room, you need to pass through a lounge with huge floor-to-ceiling windows, and two long art corridors filled with frescoes and decorations.
When you pass by the lounge in the middle, you can see the artificial lake in the middle of Central Park not far through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.
August is the most beautiful time for Central Park, and the sky is full of greenery.
The artificial lake in the middle of the park, under the sun at ten o'clock in the morning, is even more blue and sparkling!
At the age of seventeen, Anne Hathaway was admitted to New York University with letters of recommendation from her father and mother.
At this moment, facing this beautiful scenery outside the window, she thought to herself-
“FXXK! It's beautiful! ”
After passing through two art corridors and a lounge with floor-to-ceiling windows.
She arrived at the apartment's dining room, which was in a semicircle next to the main living room, which was at least a thousand feet in size.
On both sides of the semicircle, there are huge floor-to-ceiling glasses.
Outside the glass window, facing the Fifth Avenue in the middle of Central Park and downstairs.
Eat in such a place every day.
Even ordinary food can become delicious, right?
Looking out the window, Anne Hathaway thought.
1150 Fifth Avenue, 1150 Fifth Avenue, Manhattan, Carnegie Hill Apartments, 18th Floor.
