"Hey! We saw it first! " When Natalie wanted to take a bag of paper from the shelf, she suddenly reached out a hand and grabbed it. Then meimidon, who was next to her, called out.
"Oh?" The brown haired girl with a shopping basket turned around. She looked very beautiful in a simple but refreshing dress. Standing among several girls, she felt quite different. After picking an eyebrow at Natalie, she said in a languid, slightly contemptuous tone, "I'm sorry, your majesty, we didn't notice you were here."
The girls who followed her all burst into laughter and looked down upon. [search for the latest updates]
"please forgive me for my recklessness, sire," continued the brown haired girl, holding on to that, "but I don't think you mind if I take this bag of suction paper? You won't know how big our party for new members is and how much paper is needed. Of course, if you like, I can invite you to watch instead of Camilla. "
"Don't be so childish, Diana. You look like a little girl who hasn't grown up and likes to show off her toys!" She would have said two more words, but Natalie stopped her.
"It's yours, Diana, but allow me to remind you," Natalie looked serious. "All the Royal expenses are reported to the Council, so I have to make it clear in the papers I gave them that this bag of paper was passed on to you."
With that she shrugged her shoulders, and without giving the other party a chance to speak, she took Mamie away.
"It's said on the paper that it was given to you. Oh, my God, I really want to stay there and enjoy Diana's expression. It must be interesting." Meimi chuckled.
"No, Diana is one of the few people in the sisterhood who have a little head. Even if she is not happy, she won't show it." Said Natalie in a flat voice.
"Don't you care at all, Natalie?" Meimi asked curiously.
"Why should I care about them? Yes, they are rich and charismatic, but do we have to please them? " Natalie shrugged.
Fraternity and sisterhood have always been the traditional organizations in American universities, or not as powerful as the student union. However, as long as the students who join the fraternity have the ability, they can easily build their own contacts. Therefore, the children of the top class are all members of the organization in college, and most of the children of the lower middle class are eager to enter.
Generally speaking, it is easy for the children of rich families, especially those who are connected with each other, to get in, but it is not so easy for children of middle and lower classes. They're going to face all sorts of weird pranks that are part of the initiation test, and if they don't pass, they can't go to the fraternity or the sorority.
You know, the brotherhood and the sisterhood are in the hands of the rich children. There is no lack of elites among these people, but there are more dandies. So it's common for them to have fun with the middle and lower class students who want to come in. It's their normal to look down on other students. The small conflicts like today began when Natalie entered Harvard.
After all, there are not many people who are famous in the United States and even the world before they go to school - even though the new prequel has been criticized by many Star Wars fans, but Natalie is really well known for the movie - everyone will have a psychological imbalance, even those rich children who have been fed and clothed since childhood. But that's why Natalie didn't care about them either. As she told Mamie, was it necessary to please them?
"Let me see, blank notebooks, people magazine, ketchup That's about it. Let's go back. " After walking around the convenience store and finding out what she wanted to buy, she said.
"Wait, and this." Natalie takes something off the rack and throws it into the shopping basket.
"Yes, that's potato chips for veryna." Meimi laughed and was about to make a joke when the girls' voices suddenly floated into her ears from the other side of the goods rack.
"Speaking of it, what pride does that Slut have to report to the Council for all expenses?"? Does she really think she is a queen This is the voice of one of the girls.
"It's a pity that she was, and now the whole country knows, Queen Amidala." This is Diana's voice.
"Oh, come on, it's just a star," said a girl's voice. "You know, a week ago, I went back to New York for the MTV Awards and saw her and that Adrian Cowell, the famous Hollywood playboy, made love at the ceremony
"No? I heard that she was born into a conservative Jewish family and listened to her parents The voice of disbelief began to ring.
"It's so normal that you'll never know what a person really looks like until you really know her." Diana's voice rose again, and again languid, as if proud of something.
"These bitches." Mamie gave a low scolding, and was about to raise her voice to remind these stupid people who were talking about other people behind their backs, but Natalie stopped again.She shook her head calmly, then walked down the goods rack to the cashier's desk. Meimi sighed and followed her.
"They are too much. How can they say that to others like that," said Mamie indignantly on the way back. "It seems that we are provoking them!"
"It's normal. They're the kind of people. Mistakes are always the fault of others." Natalie shrugged indifferently.
"Then you shouldn't watch them make a rumor?" Meimi frowned.
"Don't worry, Mamie. Believe me, I was at the MTV Awards ceremony a week ago, and the tabloids must know better than them." Natalie chuckled.
"This is..." Meimi's eyes lit up, but soon she looked at her hesitantly.
"Ask what you want." Natalie glanced at her.
"Well..." Mamie was embarrassed to smile, but asked, "I remember, your first work seems to be with Adrian Cowell, right? And it's said that Amidala's character is also recommended by him, so So... "
"What do you think?" Natalie laughs, turns her head and looks at Mamie jokingly.
Meimi coughed and lowered her head.
"But you can think about it." Natalie suddenly said again, and her friend looked up in surprise.
"I did work with him in my first work, and he really recommended the role of Amidala to me. No matter what the gossip, he is really a very attractive man. Maybe we can try to date him next time." Natalie chuckled at last, though she said it in a serious way.
Then Meimi laughed and glared at her: "OK, OK, I'll never talk about this topic again."
After a few more words, Natalie went into her bedroom. As soon as the door closed, her smile disappeared and her face sank.
It took a few seconds for her to recover her composure, and then her brow frowned. I thought we could wait She walked back and forth in the room twice, closed her eyes, recalled carefully, and sorted out all the plans again. There should be no mistakes, so she made up her mind quickly.
"Ed?" After the mobile phone was connected, Natalie opened her mouth for the first time, then frowned, when she should wait for the other party to ask questions first.
But the people there didn't hear anything, and the tone was light: "Hi, Nada, it's so nice to hear from you. You know, I miss you again."
"Are you in Los Angeles now?" Natalie asked directly.
"Yes, I just came back from London. You know, the casting of Harry Potter is over, and it's about to start shooting. I have to go and see it for myself. By the way, I brought Kyla from London. There's a character here that suits her very well. And then I'm going to New Zealand, where the shooting will continue. " Adrian replied with a smile.
"Are you free now?" Adrian reached out and swept his hair in his ears. His voice was steady and he had completely controlled his mood.
"Of course, what can I do for you?"
"Something I want to talk to you? "
"What happened?"
"No, in fact, I had the idea to talk to you before, but I always felt that it was not suitable. Now after I calm down and think about it carefully, I finally sorted out the ideas, so The day after tomorrow is the weekend, and tomorrow I will go to Los Angeles to attend an event. If possible, can you give me some time on the weekend
“…… No problem. "
After turning off her mobile phone, Natalie let out a long breath, and now there is one last step left, as long as she can pass
As the weekend came, the already bustling city of Cambridge became even more heated. The brotherhood and the sisterhood began to decorate their party venues for a carnival, but Natalie had already gone to Los Angeles. The charity event was not big, so I had a good night's sleep in the hotel, got up and adjusted a little, and then went to Adrian's Beverly Hills mansion when he recovered to his best.
"Why are there so few people in the house?" Although he followed Adrian through the living room and went upstairs, there was hardly any servant on the way, let alone his assistant secretary or the "maid".
"Because you are coming." Adrian turned to smile.
Natalie can't help laughing. Although she hasn't been here many times in the past few years, Adrian always lets other people leave to prevent her from being seen. Time flies. A few years have passed. Adrian is very considerate sometimes She soon realized that her mind was floating a little, and then she was in a state of convergence.
"Would you like something to drink?" After coming to the study, Adrian opened his wine cabinet and said, "how about Romani conti of 77? Pure and soft. "
"No, ed Natalie, who sat down, laughed."That's not good. A good red wine can make you beautiful, even though you are already beautiful." Adrian said, turning his head and making a tut.
For a moment, Natalie wanted to laugh, but then she controlled herself, many times. Unconsciously, she was guided by his words. Today, it can't be like this. Otherwise, she may fail.
"Ed!" She exclaimed, accentuated.
"All right, all right," Adrian sighed and closed the wine cabinet behind the desk. "So, what's the matter? Do you want to break up with me when you dress so formally
There was a joke in his tone, but Natalie nodded solemnly: "yes!"
Adrian was obviously stunned and seemed to be at a loss. Natalie continued: "I know it's a bit sudden, but I really think it's time to end our relationship. It's not a choice made because of impulse, it's the result of careful consideration."
She looked up at him with a sincere look. "We had a good time, ed. I never deny that, though But I have no regrets, I like to be with you very much, you chat, go shopping, play, you can always catch my mind, I am really happy. But Some things have always bothered me I know you have a lot of women, and I know you know I know you have a lot of women, but you I haven't mentioned these things to me, even a little hint.
I don't know what you're thinking, ed. although I tried to understand it, you always gave me a kind of I can't hold you in the fog. I have been waiting, waiting for your explanation and appeasement, even if I know that you will not give up others for me, but you have always remained silent in this respect After hesitation, I finally choose to give up. I don't want to be an accessory in your life. I don't want to fight for you with any women, so I'm sorry. "
She heaved her breath and looked straight at Adrian, waiting for his response. The smile had already disappeared from his face. In the process of listening to her, Adrian was a little surprised, then frowned, and finally returned to calm. Now he sat behind the desk, his hands crossed in front of him, looking at her motionlessly. His dark eyes gave a deep feeling, as if no one could find anything from it.
Facing this indescribable look, Natalie's fingers on the armrest can't help rubbing.
After such a long time, Adrian finally opened his mouth. His voice was very soft, but his words were not so light: "why don't you tell the truth, Nada?"
Natalie doesn't respond. She just looks at her without blinking her eyes. She has already said what should be said. If she responds rashly, she will only call the other party's initiative.
"I admit that there are several reasons why you would choose to end," Adrian said again without waiting. His voice was still very low, as if from the sky. "But that's not the main reason. You choose to end because - you don't think you can get more from me, or what you get from me Far less than what you lost
Natalie still looked at him quietly. She did not speak, but squeezed her hands slightly.
"You have always been a very special girl, intelligent, precocious, confident, and Pride, "Adrian continued, calm as if without emotion." you can always quickly adapt to the surrounding environment, know how to achieve your goals, and even if you face difficulties, you can quickly find solutions, such as getting a second audition with a manager familiar to the director, or keeping yourself in touch with the director At the same time, he plans for the future, even if he has many problems.
But that's not your ultimate goal. What you want from the bottom of your heart is unique, what you want is not to be copied, what you want is Natalie Portman first, not Audrey Hepburn second! Keeping a close relationship with this director does bring you a lot of benefits, and the director is really good at flattering people. After he started directing films, there have been Oscars coming out of his hands. You believe that you can be on this throne one day.
But you soon find that there are also many disadvantages, because he is very playful, and almost all the women he has worked with have sex with him. If it's just like this, you won't take it seriously. Anyway, your goal is not here, but the question is, what will others think? Especially with the gossip that an actress can win an Oscar because he's been served comfortably in bed, you're more sure that you have to change.
You don't want to be said to be like this in the future. Although you already know that this is the norm in the entertainment industry, and you don't care much about it. The interests you get are the most important, you don't want to be talked about by the public. Because, you are proud, you are not willing to juxtapose with others, you can endure the low tide of career, you can temper yourself repeatedly for acting skills, but absolutely can't bear to be despised by others!
It was easy to leave him, because he had heard it mentioned in private that if his woman wanted to leave, he would never stop him if he said it clearly, and almost did so. But the problem is that if you leave immediately, you will lose a lot of opportunities. You can't fail to understand what opportunities mean. And because of family and other reasons, although you have some good works, you can only be considered a second-line actor for a long time. Even the director can't change this for the time being. So you waited patiently until the Star Wars prequel was released and Harvard approved your application.By referring to sat and AP, winning the AP Scholar Award and published papers, you have successfully established a distinctive actress image, beautiful and intelligent; and the release of the prequel of Star Wars made her name resound throughout the United States, thus gathering a lot of popularity. What's more, there are two more films to be made after the prequel of Star Wars. You don't have to worry about your popularity and commercial value for a long time. You can cooperate with other directors to march towards the Oscars as much as possible, instead of depending on that guy.
At the same time, the nomination of best supporting actress at the beginning of the year is an honor, but it also rings an alarm for you. If you continue, the most worried may become reality. So after you are ready, a little stimulation is enough for you to make the decision of showdown. "
