Chapter 411: Don't Be a Burden
Rodeo Avenue, 2nd floor of Brioni Outlets.
A master tailor personally measured Martin's body and asked him to choose the right fabric and basic style.
Elizabeth, who came with her, pulled Lamartine, pointed to a piece of fabric and said, "This color is good, you stand here, um...... I feel like it fits you well and makes you look a little more lively. ”
In such an inconsequential matter, Martin of course listened to his female companion: "Master Pirlo, choose a cloth of this color." ”
"Yes." Master Pirlo immediately wrote it down.
Elizabeth was very happy and pulled Martin to choose leather shoes and bow tie.
The two of them came out of the shop and got into Elizabeth's Porsche, and Martin said, "Let's go, it's time to choose a dress for you." ”
Elizabeth smiled sweetly: "Mine is a good choice." ”
Martin was surprised: "There are sponsored brands? ”
Elizabeth started the car, drove to the Century City shopping plaza, and said: "There is no sponsorship brand, wearing my sister's brand dress, with my current status in the circle, when I can be like you in the future, there will be no shortage of big-name clothing sponsors, maybe my sisters will sponsor me with a lot of money." ”
Martin said with a smile: "There are not many girls as big as you, there are really not many people who are so sober as you." He didn't hesitate to praise him: "Liz, you're a good girl." ”
"My sisters are amazing, they not only shelter me from the elements, but they have also been teaching me how to adapt to Hollywood." Elizabeth's eyes rolled and suddenly changed the subject: "Now there is a saying on the Internet that when a man or a woman says to another person that they are a good person, it often means rejection or a breakup. ”
She asked seriously, "Martin, are you going to break up with me?" ”
Martin said, "How can you think that? He has always used means to confuse other people's thinking: "We broke through the encirclement and interception of the two villains Leonardo and Nicholson, and it was not easy to come together!" ”
Elizabeth smiled so sweetly that even the gloomy sky was healed by her at this moment, and the sun came out of the clouds, as if she wanted to be more brilliant than anyone else.
When they came to the Century City shopping plaza, Porsche drove into the underground parking lot, and the two took the elevator upstairs.
The Olsen sisters' "The row" is currently positioned as light luxury, mainly aimed at young users, and is a relatively popular brand, and the style is also very suitable for Elizabeth.
Elizabeth doesn't want to make it to order, just choose a suitable one from the existing models.
Martin also actively expressed his opinions, which made Elizabeth feel that he was very interested.
Because Martin's gown was bound to be black, Elizabeth chose a lighter color palette that favored sweetness.
When Elizabeth tried on and chose the shoes and accessories, Martin took the initiative to swipe the card.
Elizabeth was helpless: "You can keep accounts." ”
Martin smiled and shook his head: "This is what I should do." ”
The two came out of the store and continued shopping.
Elizabeth whispered, "Come with me to the supermarket, I'll buy some girls' supplies." ”
Martin pulled her: "Let's go." ”
…………
Century City Shopping Mall is one of the busiest commercial centers in Los Angeles.
Many celebrities also frequent it.
Brad Pitt, who was lifted more than half a year ago, walked into the shopping mall alone with his messy long hair tied into a ponytail and like a street performer.
He didn't go out shopping for too long, so he went to the supermarket on the first floor to buy daily necessities.
A lot of people's eyes came over and fell on Pete.
Pete is very familiar with such scenes, and has been full of curiosity, envy, and adoration.
Nowadays, it's mostly disgust and ridicule.
Pete found that many parents with girls took the initiative to pull their children to avoid him.
A faint voice came: "Girls must pay attention to protect themselves outside, especially away from molesque criminals and rapists." ”
"That's Pete, and it's terrible to see him stay away immediately and force dozens of women."
"What's going on with the legal system in Los Angeles? This kind of person is not arrested and put in prison......"
I didn't feel it in an open place before, but when I came to a confined space with a large flow of people, Pete could hear other people talking about him all the time.
These hurt people.
But Pete can bear it, he has been wronged too much in the past year.
The actor's career is basically over, and he has not had a film contract until now.
All endorsement brands have terminated their contracts with him, and many are still suing him for breach of contract, such as Cadillac, which was endorsed before, although the chase is not very tight, but the case has been hanging there.
Even the board of directors of Plan B expelled him from the company's management, and after the company introduced two investments, the largest shareholder and actual controller became Jennifer Aniston's woman.
Pete slipped his hands into his pockets and approached the door of the supermarket.
Close to the densely populated area of the supermarket, it is full of cosmetics counters.
Pete saw two familiar figures.
On the column on the left, a huge advertising poster is painted, which is the purifying skin care series endorsed by Jennifer Aniston.
On the wall on the right is the makeup collection that Angelina Jolie strongly recommends.
Seeing these two people, Pete suddenly wanted to cry, his girlfriend and wife were all fucked by that bastard!
More than once in the past year, he has seen in the tabloids or TMZ that Martin Davis bastard, appearing in the same hotel as Aniston and Julie.
As a Hollywood insider, Pete only thinks of one possibility, these shameless people are playing threesomes.
Pete was furious about this, and not just because of the heaviness on his head.
When he woke up late at night, he often asked, why Martin could play with Julie and Aniston and not himself.
So, despite all the setbacks, Pete hated Martin even more.
When he came to the door of the supermarket, he saw what was probably the most eye-catching huge poster in the entire mall.
Martin Davis, the head of the Cult of Coke, recommended Coca-Cola.
"You are the sect leader, I am a saint, how good." A sweet and refreshing voice came from the side, Pete subconsciously turned his head, and the voice was still talking: "May I ask the sect leader, how can the saint be promoted?" ”
Pete saw Martin, and a sweet girl who followed him.
The smile on the girl's face seemed to be sweet to the heart, as if it had healed Pete's heartache.
But Pete saw the girl's hand clasped tightly on Martin's five fingers, and the trembling atrium was like an earthquake, pushing the flames upward.
Martin had a vague feeling and pulled Elizabeth behind him for the first time, while seeing Brad Pitt.
Pete walked towards Martin, found the burly Bruce, walked quickly to Martin's side, touched the inside of his clothes with one hand, and unconsciously stopped.
Elizabeth experienced a big scene where there was only a thin line between life and death, and while hiding behind Martin, she immediately let go of Martin's hand.
She knew that now was not the time to speak, and the greatest help for Martin was not to be a burden.
So, Elizabeth took refuge behind a stout pillar in three or two steps.
Pete smiled at him: "Martin Davis." ”
Martin also smiled and greeted warmly: "Hello, Pete." ”
"I'm not good, not good at all." Pete was gloomy: "My wife was robbed by you, my girlfriend was robbed by you, and the endorsement was robbed by you, you are very good." ”
Martin shook his head: "You did something wrong, but you blame someone else." ”
Seeing that many people reacted, he began to pull out his phone and beckoned to Bruce: "Let's go." ”
Martin nodded at Elizabeth and prepared to enter the supermarket.
Bruce kept an eye on Pete from behind.
Pete walked away when he saw people, looked at the posters of Julie and Aniston on the left and right, and was unwilling: "Your bodyguard is very conscientious, I wonder if he will take a nap?" That's your new girlfriend next to you? ”
Hearing this, Martin suddenly turned his head, glanced at Pete, did nothing, and pulled Elizabeth into the supermarket.
Elizabeth was a little worried: "Are you alright?" Why don't we go back? ”
Martin was relieved, "It's okay. ”
Elizabeth canceled the idea of continuing to visit the supermarket, went directly to the corresponding shelves, took some women's supplies, and pulled Martin to hurry to the checkout.
When she got into the car, she breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why is Pete like this?" ”
Martin said directly: "He planted all the reasons why Julie and Aniston broke up with him, and he did have a few conflicts with me. ”
Elizabeth reminded: "Pay more attention. ”
"Don't worry, a little thing." Martin smiled: "I'll send you back first." ”
Elizabeth knew that Martin might have something to do, and there was no nonsense: "I'll just drive back by myself." ”
Martin thought of Pete, "I'll send you back first." ”
Arriving on the southern slope of Sherman Oaks, Martin watched Elizabeth's Porsche enter the Olsen family's mansion and turn to the Escalade driven by Bruce.
Bruce didn't drive and asked, "What do you want me to do next?" ”
Martin didn't answer, but asked, "Pete still lives in a mansion in Beverly Hills?" ”
Bruce nodded: "That's right, he's always lived over there, do you really want to get that mansion of his?" ”
"Originally, I just thought about it, but now I think it's necessary." Martin asked again, "What is Pete's financial situation?" ”
"Nearly two-thirds of the people he've violated have reached out-of-court settlements with him, more than half of whom have accepted his cash compensation, some are ready to sign an agreement, and the other third are demanding higher compensation," Bruce said in general. ”
Martin thought for a moment and said, "You inform Ivan and ask him to find a way to encourage those victims to ask for more compensation from Pete." ”
Bruce nodded, "I have a way." ”
Martin took out his phone and flipped out Thomas's number, and continued: "I will ask Thomas to find some way to reach out to the brands that Pitt has endorsed before, especially Cadillac, which I remember at one point wanted to sue Pitt for breach of contract. ”
"There's such a thing." Bruce said: "Because after you signed with Cadillac, Cadillac's business performance has rebounded significantly, and this matter has been suppressed for the time being. ”
