After more than ten years in Hollywood, Cassie Affleck thinks he is an excellent and patient top hunter in the face of this so-called genius student who is still in school.

He asked, "Is it a pleasure to see more of your work?" ”

"All the works I've done are here." Lily's eyes seemed to be pinned to Cassie, and she kept looking up and down, carefully observing the man's body structure to determine where the knife would be most appropriate.

Seeing that the girl opposite her was always looking at her, Cassie became more confident, and the girl was obviously interested in him.

Lily's eyes were hot and earnest, and the hand in her coat pocket rubbed the knife quickly.

Cassie felt Lily's affection for him, so she simply pointed to the sculpture next to her: "I am fortunate to have such a wonderful work of art today, I should celebrate, beautiful Lily Carter, can I invite you to participate?" ”

Lily's smile was very special: "I have to pick up people at the airport in a while, and I don't have time." ”

Cassie is not a junior brother and knows to be a little patient: "I'll call you another day." He said: "I hope to see your masterpiece again, I like your style very much, and I want to collect more about your work." ”

Lily said politely: "Thank you." ”

Cassie further said, "In a few years, maybe I won't be able to afford your work." ”

With a nice and coaxing remark, he handed Lily his business card, which only had a string of phone numbers on it.

Lily took it and politely said goodbye and left, during which she turned back and glanced at Cassie again, to determine how to be justified and how many stabs she stabbed would not become a serious injury.

Cassie smiled decadently and dejectedly, the most charming smile in art circles.

Lily nodded to him, and when she was about to leave the exhibition hall, she saw a human sculpture made by someone else in front of her, and she couldn't help but stop and gesture with her fingers.

The organizers came to pack the bust sculpture, and Cassie watched from the sidelines, thinking about what kind of surprise to use to make a good comeback on Martin Davis.

The Affleck brothers have been informed that Chuck Hogan has signed a contract with Martin Davis to sell the rights to the film and television adaptation of "The Prince of Thieves" to Davis Studios.

Originally, they were optimistic about the project they contacted first, but they were snatched away from their eyes, and there was an evil fire in their hearts that had nowhere to vent.

Before the exhibition was over, Lily asked her mentor for leave and drove her red Cadillac to Los Angeles International Airport.

Martin is back from New York today, and she's going to pick someone up.

Arriving at the terminal exit, Lily didn't have to wait long before she saw Martin and Bruce coming out with their luggage.

She hurriedly waved at the two of them.

After Martin passed, he directly handed a bag in his hand to Lily: "Where's the car?" ”

Lily carried the heavy bag and led the way: "This way." ”

The three of them put their luggage and got into the Cadillac, and Lily drove out of the parking lot and asked, "Is the work done in New York?" ”

"It's over." Martin remembered something very important, and specially advised: "When you go to New York again, the house in Central Park will be cleaned up, and it will be a little messy." ”

Lily habitually replied, "Okay." ”

Bruce looked at Martin, and then at Lily, one was not human, the other was naturally accustomed to it, and there was no help.

It occurred to Martin that he wanted to be a good person, and added, "You can also find a special housekeeping company to clean it up." ”

"I see." After years of habituation, Lily felt that it was normal to do all this.

The mansion from Pete is still being renovated, but it has reached the finishing stages.

Martin still lives in the Coty neighborhood.

The Cadillac drove straight through the gates, and the house was neatly organized, inside and out.

Martin didn't need to ask, it must have been Lily's doing, and said, "I came from New York this time and brought you a gift." ”

Hearing the word gift, Lily's head was also a little big, and those gifts in the past, don't do it.

"I now have enough raw materials to carve every day at school or in Warner Studios' studios, and I don't have to give bison horns and crocodile teeth," she said tentatively. ”

Martin had already opened the suitcase, took out a set of carving knives from it, and handed it to Lily: "Here you go." ”

Lily took it, opened it and looked at it, and instantly felt that all the things she had done were worth it.

Martin set aside the boxes full of gifts, as well as those for Elizabeth, Julie, and Aniston.

The latter two are dedicated to Lily, and he has to say something.

Lily had no time to spare, put away her carving knife, opened another cupboard, took out a few letters and handed them to Martin: "I received it in the mailbox at the door during this time. ”

Martin took it and looked through it, most of them were sales pitches, and the ones that were really useful were the letters that two neighbors had thrown in their mailboxes.

A beautifully packaged DVD from Jenna Jones next door, with a close-up of her throwing her hand and shooting on the cover, and a line of large letters next to it: "Never End".

There is also a note attached to the back of the video, and Jenna tells Martin that the film is ready to be filmed and has sent a collector's edition.

Martin is curious about the process of the heroine's search for smart drugs after the protagonist of the Sacred Valley version is replaced by a woman.

The idea of finding smart drugs from genetic material is also invincible.

I wonder if Jenna is interested in "The Reader" and "Benjamin", especially the latter, what kind of Sacred Valley ideas can be made on the basis of the movie?

Men, it's inevitable to be curious, like Benjamin's old man and when he was a child, it must be very exciting.

Martin received a drawer with a collector's edition disc, the Sacred Valley version of Wanted.

Lily quietly leaned over to look at it and muttered, "How can you give such a thing as a gift?" ”

"The Jones father and daughter are artists, and they think differently," Martin said. ”

"I'm an artist, too." After Lily finished sealing herself, she added, "My thoughts are normal. ”

Martin looked at Lily, too lazy to say anything about her.

He had a carving knife in his pocket all day, he knew it for a long time.

Another useful email from her neighbor Gillian Flynn was a handwritten note.

Gillian was afraid of disturbing Martin's filming in New York, so she didn't rush to call, and she wrote a beginning as mentioned last time, and if Martin returned, she planned to show Martin the first draft of the beginning.

Martin took his phone, dialed Gillian's number, waited for her to connect, and told her directly that he had returned to Los Angeles and was currently at home.

Lily helped Martin and Bruce pack their bags and talked about the past: "You sent me a picture of the Affleck brothers last time, remember?" ”

Martin immediately asked, "What, they're in trouble with you?" ”

"Cassie Affleck bought me a sculpture and ...... it today," Lily quickly recounted what had happened.

Bruce answered and said to Martin, "They know you're not good, so they're going to do it to the young and inexperienced people around you." ”

Lily's hand reached out of her coat pocket, and the small carving knife circled around her fingertips like a fluttering butterfly.

Martin asked, "What do you think?" “

Lily actually had a lot of ideas: "I was going to find a place to poke 108 holes in him with a carving knife, or just to defend myself." ”

Bruce reminded, "Don't mess around. ”

"A ruffian bastard like him, I've seen too much since I was a kid." Lily grew up in a different environment: "Let's just say that the Clayton community can pull a lot more casually than him." ”

She suddenly laughed: "Cassie Affleck bought one of my sculptures at a high price, and said that he was interested in my other sculptures as well, and I think that people like him, if not as good as Ben Affleck, must be very rich." ”

Martin knew Lily too well to know what she wanted to do when he heard it.

Lily said: "I have spent most of the past two years studying and practicing, and I have accumulated a lot of work to practice my hands. I'm very poor, and Cassie Affleck is a rich man, so in order to become financially independent as soon as possible, I want to try to see if I can sell him a few more sculptures. ”

Bruce finally understands why Elena always loves her sister with an iron fist.

If you don't care, you're completely crooked!

Martin couldn't help but shake his head: "I remember that the Dark Knight crew didn't pay him too much. ”

"It's different." Lily is well aware that the work and remuneration of the Dark Knight crew has a lot to do with Martin.

She thought for a moment and said, "Let me try, and if I encounter a situation, I'll withdraw it." ”

Martin glanced at Bruce, and Old Bu nodded at him imperceptibly.

"Yes, you stay safe." Martin believes that people can't live in a greenhouse forever.

Lily nodded repeatedly, wondering how to use this to sell more sculptures at a high price.

customers who take the initiative to deliver to their door can't give up the opportunity to empty their wallets.

Bruce sends a message to two bodyguards who have been hired for many years, and one of them is assigned to follow Lily.

In Los Angeles, the job of a bodyguard will be a lot easier.

The doorbell rang and Gillian Flynn was outside the gate.

Bruce opens the door and goes out to greet the guests, who soon comes in with Gillian.

Martin got up and shook her hand: "I just saw the letter you left and I'm sorry I didn't contact you in time." ”

"You're busy with work, I'm presumptuous." Gillian held some manuscripts in her hands: "I wrote a part of the manuscript and wanted to share it with others, but I couldn't find the right person, and the writers' circle was a mess, and it was too common for me to show it to my peers." ”

Martin laughed and said, "It seems that my neighbor is trustworthy." ”

Gillian took the initiative to hand over the manuscript: "The value of my manuscript is at most your salary for a few days, or even less." ”

Martin picked it up and asked, "This is the work you mentioned to me, inspired by the real-life case of Agatha Christie?" ”

"Yes, the one I mentioned to you." Gillian was embarrassed: "I can only write in my spare time, and the pace of writing is very slow, and I can only write the first third in a year, and the rest may take a year and a half, or even longer, because I don't know if what I write is worthwhile." ”
