Cecilia Davis is carefully looking through the hot newspapers just released this morning, from "times" to "sun", from "empire" to "Q magazine", not limited to the theme and media, absorbed the latest news of the day, with several gallery art magazines and professional magazines in the industry with low circulation, But it's professional enough.
At 11 a.m. in London, the gray sky is gradually showing a glimmer of brilliance. It seems that the sun is trying its best to penetrate the clouds to reveal a little halo. It lightly outlines the outline of summer, but it is still not clear enough. It seems that the cold and chilly winter still remains in the air - not spring, but winter.
There is no noise in the art gallery. It's quiet and peaceful. The traffic outside the French windows seems to have nothing to do with the interior. A glass door separates the two worlds. Involuntarily, even the breath slows down. I'm afraid that my voice may break the peace.
For some people, it is a kind of enjoyment, a rare quiet in the busy and noisy city; But for some people, this is a kind of torture, binding hands and feet do not know where to put.
As an art agent, Cecilia has gradually become accustomed to such elegant and quiet way of doing things, although in her spare time, she doesn't mind a good indulgence; But during her working hours, she was able to concentrate and enter the world of art.
What's more, her boss is a very strict lady. She is very tricky about etiquette, taste and details.
Before the "queen in Prada" was released, everyone said that Miranda in the film was a demon boss, while Anna Wintour, editor in chief of fashion magazine, the prototype in real life, was probably a more terrible existence; But in Cecilia's view, whether it's film or reality, compared with her boss, they are like gentle angels.
Only after seeing the real devil can we know that real life is far more cruel than movies.
After so many years of careful polishing, Cecilia has successfully left the school, calmly and calmly handle all the accidents, a cup of coffee, a newspaper, this can constitute a perfect morning.
Gee.
The sound of the glass door pushing gently reverberates in the art gallery. Generally speaking, in the morning, few guests come to visit, but occasionally there will be special circumstances; So, Cecilia looked up, with a polite smile. She didn't say hello, just a friendly look.
It's also a request from the boss.
Because the boss insists that the art gallery should be a space for soul communication. If it is too flattering, too attentive and too commercial, it will lose its original temperament. They should leave enough space for the guests to slowly calm down and enjoy. The connoisseurs with real taste can always find the works with the same soul here.
For Cecilia, it's a good thing, a smile and a look, that's enough.
But the next moment, Cecilia stood up, nodded again, but expressed enough dignity and attention. She didn't say hello, but her muscles were tense, maintaining a high degree of attention and full concentration. Because the boss showed up.
In front of her, this lady is slender and elegant. She is wearing a simple white lace dress with green stiletto heels and a black classic handbag in her hand. She can't see any brand or any value, but her whole body bearing is noble and elegant. Her powerful bearing is invisible and elegant.
But Cecilia knew that all the clothes on her body were made to order. Without a brand, the value of the clothes could not be evaluated. Only after real contact can we understand that the so-called brand has no meaning for the aristocracy of the upper class.
"Good morning." Elizabeth hall gently jaw head signal, no domineering, no high above, warm voice always let the mind involuntarily come up with the word "perfect".
Instead of making a reply, Cecilia nodded her head again. Her restrained and appropriate response fully explained the elegance of the aristocracy. After working for so many years, all the aristocrats in London are around her. Cecilia has gradually learned the relevant etiquette, but it's just tangible and godless.
"I just came to tell you that everything has been arranged for next week's private party. The final process list and guest list should be sent by mail today. After signing in, confirm and check. After there is no problem, it can be sent out." Elizabeth simply said, "in addition, the invitation list of private collection, you will sort out the mail, you will need it tomorrow at the latest."
"Yes, ma'am." Cecilia replied politely.
After the explanation, Elizabeth's steps moved forward again and toward the inner studio. Just as Cecilia was a little relieved and gradually relaxed, Elizabeth stopped again and regressed back. "This is..." the end of the voice was like kapok floating in the air in March, graceful and graceful, There's a little bit of doubt.
Following Elizabeth's line of sight, Cecilia sees today's "times". The front page headline is really very conspicuous. Just a glance can accurately capture the information.
Cecilia was a little puzzled, because Elizabeth never cared about these gossip, but she still gathered her mind, tried to maintain the etiquette, and explained with a smile, "this is the most sensational headlines today. Langley hall, the Hollywood actor, is the youngest winner who won the Oscar last year..."
Cecilia's words stopped a little, because she could deeply feel the sudden drop of temperature around Elizabeth, as if from summer back to autumn. The chilly feeling made the hair of the whole spine stand up, but then Elizabeth said again, "Oh? Go on. "
There was no emotion surge in her calm words, but Cecilia always felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell why.
"Lan Li is the most popular young actor in the past two years. According to the news, he is a hereditary aristocrat with a prominent family background and excellent education, which has caused a lot of discussion." Cecilia was not sure whether she should continue to speak. She hesitated, but then she felt Elizabeth's eyes again. She could only harden her head and speak again.
"He is a legendary actor. No one has ever known about his family and life experience. He just relies on his talent and ability to roam in Hollywood, conquering countless audiences, proving that he is a talented and talented actor. The movie" crazy love "the year before last is still the favorite of many people."
"Not long ago, he was also well received in les miserables on the west side, and many critics thought he was the best actor since Lawrence Oliver. It's really a great thing
"It's really surprising to find out about his family now; But when you think about it, it makes sense. Lanli was an elegant gentleman, but he was only twenty-three years old, showing incredible calmness and elegance. To be honest, such an actor is too rare. It's a blessing for the audience. "
"By the way, this time, the film" tomorrow's edge "starred by him has just been released in the UK, and the box office of the premiere weekend has created the second best performance of the year. After watching it, many of my friends say they like it very much. It's not a simple popcorn, but a real commercial movie with depth. I'm going to watch it this weekend. "
"To be honest, he is really legendary. Now many media think that he has surpassed Prince Harry and become the most valuable golden Bachelor in Britain..."
With that, Cecilia realized that her own nature had been exposed. While excited, she poured out all her ideas. The more she said it, the more excited she was. She even forgot that her boss was standing in front of her. Then Cecilia could feel Elizabeth's calmer and colder atmosphere.
In a flash, Cecilia came into contact with Elizabeth's sight, and a sharp sharp stab came over. Like a real sharp blade, she flew fiercely towards her eyes. It was so fierce and fierce that all her words were cut off in her throat, and she couldn't make a sound.
After she recovered, Cecilia realized that she was in a cold sweat behind her back. Even her shirt was wet through. The fear from the bottom of her soul made her shiver slightly.
For a moment, all the feelings were just an instant burst, and then disappeared. Elizabeth in her sight was calm again. It seemed that there was no special fluctuation, just like a quiet lake, deep and quiet, as if all the feelings just now were just Cecilia's own illusion.
But is that really an illusion?
"So you like Langley?" Elizabeth's voice is still without any fluctuations, elegant and calm, gentle and graceful, as if the world's best velvet, fingertips can not help but linger.
Cecilia's survival instinct suddenly burst out, and she wanted to deny it reflexively. But when the words came to her mouth, she immediately realized that her reaction just now had leaked the details. She could not tell lies with her eyes open, but only nodded her head. "Yes, occasionally, I think he is a very... Er, special actor."
Silence, silence, Elizabeth did not respond.
