In the middle of the study, it is quiet, not to mention losing a needle. Even if you lose a hair, you can hear it. A man and a woman in front of and behind the desk looked at each other and said nothing, filled with a strange atmosphere.

Finally, Natalie lowered her eyelids and took a deep breath. "You taught me, ed."

Adrian did not speak, still very calm looking at her, no emotional ups and downs, even the movement has not changed. This can not help but make her heart slightly uneasy, in fact, in front of the other side of the mouth, she has been unable to capture his emotional fluctuations, not at all. It's not good, which means she won't be able to judge his reaction and respond appropriately. []

"I'm sorry, and I'm sorry." Natalie continued, with a calm look. In any case, it's impossible to stop at this point, and since all of them have been broken, or Adrian has taken the initiative to pick them up, it's better to be more frank. Covering up will only backfire.

Adrian still did not speak, always motionless very calm looking at her, as if to see through her. The feeling was so bad that Natalie could not help but pinch her hands twice, though she tried to keep her posture still.

"Since you don't want to talk, that's for the time being." At last she said this, then got up and went to the door, and at the same time, she had a voice in her heart that as long as she got out of the door, she would win.

When he put his hand on the armrest, a smile even crossed the corner of his mouth. But at the same time, Adrian's voice sounded out of time: "wait a minute."

The man who had been sitting there stood up, walked around the desk, and then came to her: "even if you don't think about yourself, you should do it for..."

He leaned over to her ear and whispered a few words. Natalie, who had remained calm for a long time, was stunned, then turned white, and her eyes were mixed with an unbelievable look of panic.

"Why do you How can you... " Her lips trembled, and though she tried to control her emotions, her voice was still sharp. "How can you do this?"

"Why can't I do this?" Then back to the desk, Adrian, leaning on the edge, shrugged his shoulders, with a casual tone. Although there was no expression, it gave people a sense of condescending overlooking.

How could this happen? Natalie's body trembled slightly, and her chest began to fluctuate greatly, which was totally beyond the plan. For a while, she didn't know how to respond. Why is it like this?!

"Don't forget, ed...." She bit her lip and looked at him with her eyes, "we We were I just... "

"Oh? Are you going to sue me? Where is it? " Adrian continued to shrug, "New York? California? Or Connecticut? "

(Note: in similar cases, Connecticut has the biggest ups and downs, with a minimum sentence of 9 months)

"yes, you can make a big noise, but what about that? I just need to form a large and luxurious lawyer group. There may be many lawyers who are eager to be famous through a lawsuit. But I still have many friends, the state house, Capitol Hill and wall street. They will be happy to help me, as long as I can afford the price. Even if he said that, he still had no expression They spend a small sum of money to buy the jury - not all of them, just a few to confuse other people's ideas. It's all very simple things. "

Natalie's face was gone, but Adrian went on: "well, even if everything goes against me, the conviction, the judge's verdict, and it's still in New York, I can come out in three days at most. As for reputation, after waiting for two years and then making two art films, they will naturally start to praise me, because art and artists are two different things. Charlie Chaplin, Roman Polanski, Woody Allen and Jean Luc Godard

(Note: it is an open secret that Chaplin likes teenage girls, but Hollywood at that time is not comparable now; Polanski, who fled the United States in the 1970s, has not dared to go back, so he can only stay in France. In 2009, he was almost arrested and extradited in Switzerland. His case was one of the top ten scandals in the entertainment industry in the 20th century. Woody Allen colluded with his adopted daughter The married boy is also one of the top ten scandals in the 20th century; as for Jean Luc Godard, one of the characteristics of the new wave movement in France and one of the staunch anti Semites in Europe.)

His body leans forward, and the sense of oppression comes to him: "and you, smart Miss Natalie Portman, what can you get? Of course, you can choose to retire, choose to leave the entertainment industry, leave the United States, go to Israel, go to Europe, and become a silent lecturer or professor after university. Maybe you can still leave some works in decades, but I will not let you go. I'll nail you to the stigma of Hollywood, to be remembered in another way, I'll find you, and I'll destroy your friends, your family, your all

The room was quiet again, and only Natalie's heavy and disordered breathing echoed. She looked at Adrian with a pale face and a little dull. She had no usual dexterity."A week," said Adrian, after a moment of silence, "you have a week to think about it, starting today. Now, you can go out. "

With a click, the door of the study was closed, and Adrian, who was leaning against the edge of his desk, did not get up. He remained as silent as before. After a few seconds, he suddenly hit the desk with a fist, making a loud bang, and his face turned blue.

Adrian remained in this position, like a sculpture, motionless, until Charlize's voice came into his ear with the opening of the door: "what's the matter? I saw Natalie a little bit out of her wits just now Ed? "

"The first time." He slowly raised his head and squinted at his secretary. "This is the first time."

"Well?" Charlize didn't understand.

"Out of control." Adrian spat out a word, but as someone who has been around him for years, Charlize understood his meaning instantly.

"It's normal, ed." Charlize organized the words in his head, "after all..."

"It's not normal at all. It's strange," Adrian shook his head. "It shouldn't be like this. If she wants to leave, just leave. I don't need such a woman around me. However, I react the most fiercely. The reason doesn't exist in that moment!"

"Ed..."

"It's absolutely not a good thing. The first time something like this happens, there will be a second time."

"Ed..."

"I've always had the wrong feeling that I've got something wrong or confused."

Adrian began to walk around the room, frowning deeply, as if trapped in a strange mood and unable to extricate himself, Charlize next to him couldn't get in the way.

"I need to study it carefully. I can't let it go..."

"Ed!" Charlize suddenly grabbed his collar and pulled it violently. His gray green eyes were full of anxiety. "Listen to me, ed! You are not God. You can't control everything. No matter how well you plan and how keen your insight is, there will always be changes and accidents! When you encounter an accident, you should quickly adjust the plan and move on, instead of being stuck in the way of how the accident happened. This is what you taught me. Have you forgotten it? "

She said all the accumulated words in one breath, only to find that she was a little out of tune, and then put her hand over her head. Adrian stopped nagging and looked at her with a strange look in his eyes.

After adjusting his breath, Charlize raised his head again. His voice was much lower and softer: "don't think about that, OK? No matter It doesn't matter what kind of conflict you had with that girl. You just have some confusion. All you need is rest. You can do something else to divert your attention If you want to, whether you want to Who to call, how many people to come together, no matter what you want to How to play, what tricks, I can accompany you Don't think about that... "

She said, reaching out to touch his face, with firmness and tenderness rarely fully shown in her eyes.

“…… No, "Adrian finally spoke again after a long time, and he put his arm around Charlize's waist." you're enough. "

------------------------

"Nada, come down to dinner." The mother's voice from the door let Natalie, who was in a trance, come back to her mind. She looked at the next four weeks in a daze before she realized that she was at her parents' home in Long Island.

After a few more minutes of trance, she remembered how she had left Adrian's mansion in a daze, spent an afternoon in a hotel room and got back on the plane.

"I'll be right there, mom." She managed to smile and try to look normal.

"Are you really OK, Nada, I don't think you're in a good condition." Shelly nodded, and then said with some worry.

"It's OK, mom. I'm just I'm a little tired. You know, in addition to university courses, I also have There are a lot of activities to attend. " "If you're worried, I'll go down with you," Natalie said, gesticulating, then simply standing up and taking her mother's arm

"Well," Shelley said, smiling and touching her head. "Don't make yourself so nervous, Nada. I should have pushed these activities away for you."

"It doesn't matter, mom. The effects of the prequel of star wars will soon be over, and I can focus on my studies for the rest of the time." Natalie kept her smile and came to the table with her mother.

"You can give up acting for a while and concentrate on finishing your studies." Eve, who was already sitting there waiting, said this in a stuffy voice.

"Avner!" Shelly exclaimed in a discontented tone, then patted her placidly, "don't take it to heart, honey, your father is not in a good mood today."Natalie seemed to notice something in her father's frown.

"What happened, mom?" She asked her mother, who shared Sarah.

"Two people from the tax bureau came to see your father this afternoon and said what it was..." Before Shelly could finish, ivner interrupted, "Shelly!"

"What's the matter? Am I not even free to speak? " Shirley put down her plate in discontent. "Listen to those two swaggering guys? Actually... "

"Enough, Shelly, I don't want to say that now!" Ivner raised his voice, looked at his wife angrily, and then quickly glanced at her daughter.

Shirley immediately responded. She looked down and began to scratch the food on the plate in front of her. She immediately changed her mouth: "OK, OK, don't say this."

What they don't know, however, is that when Shelley said, "there are two people from the tax bureau coming to your father," Natalie's ear was blasted. If it wasn't for her strength, the fork would have fallen to the ground.

"I'm ready." After a few quick bites, Natalie put down the dishes and stood up.

"Are you ready?" Shelly was a little surprised to see that there was still a big plate of food.

"I'm sorry, mom. I don't have a lot of appetite. It's probably because there was too much time difference between yesterday and today in Los Angeles and New York. Just have a good rest." Natalie forced a smile and then looked at her father. "I promise it's not because of your words, Dad."

She moved her lips as if to say something, but she turned and left the table in a hurry.

Back to the bedroom door lock, Natalie madly found her mobile phone, and then went into the bathroom, gnashing her teeth and began to dial.

"I'm ed Soon Adrian's voice came over there.

"You bastard! What have you done! You said that I have a week. Why will the tax official come to my father this afternoon! You can't believe what you said Natalie yelled recklessly.

"What? Nada? What's the matter? " There hesitated to ask next, the tone is full of familiar lazy.

Natalie was stunned, but the fear and anger that filled her heart made her roar again.

"You said there were two people from the tax bureau looking for your father this afternoon?" "That's not my instruction. Since I said that I would give you a week, I would certainly give you a week. I think I still have this credit - today is just the first time I broke my promise. Don't worry. I'll call you tomorrow afternoon at the latest. That's it

With that, he hung up the phone and left Natalie standing in the middle of the bathroom.

It was a particularly difficult night, and though she kept hypnotizing herself, she couldn't sleep at all. The sun was shining in the room, and she was still lying in bed with red eyes. As long as you close your eyes, Adrian's threats will come true, and she will wake up in fear.

Damn it! How could this happen! Cried Natalie, covering her face. All morning she locked herself in her bedroom and didn't want to do anything. She was surrounded by depression, depression, regret and even despair.

At 2:00 p.m., the cell phone that hasn't been ringing in the morning finally reacts. Although Natalie is startled by the sudden bell, it also makes her calm a little bit, grits her teeth and chooses to connect.

"Nada? I've made it clear that it has nothing to do with your father, "Adrian's steady voice rang in his ear." people from the tax department will go to your father because one of your father's colleagues once provided them with false documents, and they need a full range of information. In addition, I have made people take care of your father through some relationships, so you don't have to worry about getting involved. "

"You Natalie opened her eyes in surprise and regained some sense. Of course, she knew what he meant by that.

"You're welcome. It's just a little busy. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. In addition, please allow me to remind you that you have only six days left." With that, the phone was cut off and she didn't give her a chance.

However, Natalie suddenly held up her cell phone and threw it on the bed for a long time.

Fool! Fool! You idiot! How can you be so flustered! Even if you leave immediately after he let people contact, it is impossible to let the people of the tax bureau come over so quickly, and looking for the door so directly is tantamount to tearing the skin completely. Why can't you think of it! Why? She slowly sat down against the wall and hugged her head. Tears finally slid down her face. Why is it like this? It's clearly planned. Why has it become this way?!

Although she had been together for so many years, she still grasped some personality traits. Adrian has a strong sense of control, keen insight, and amazing talent. He can always quietly let women take their arms and let them do what they want. But at the same time, he is very conceited. If someone refuses him, he will not spend more time on this person. With the increase of power, this has become more and more obvious.She designed it by taking advantage of this, lowering her posture and showing sincerity, pointing out that the main problem lies in him and then leaving himself alone - which is also the case. He already has too many women around him, and this excuse is simply a fact.

Generally speaking, Adrian is sure to keep him. As long as he insists, he will let go even if he is not happy. This is related to his reputation, and there is no need to worry about such a woman. What if he suppressed himself for that? That's better! Although it's not good for adelain to be a girl in Hollywood, she can't be tough to be a girl in Hollywood, but she can't be a tough girl in Hollywood.
