Hollywood Domination Chapter 174: Clean
According to calculations, the relationship between Jenny and Christopher has lasted for almost a year, but this relationship is quite loose. Except for the few months when the two collaborated on filming, she and Christopher have been together less often, even though both of them In Los Angeles, it's not easy to get together, and there is a big event that Jenny was injured and the two won awards separately-she was okay during the time she was injured and recuperated, but after both of them won Oscars, it was really difficult. It is difficult to find the opportunity to meet again.
After all, as the new film king and queen, the attention they received is not comparable to before. Even Jenny, James, and Leo can be scouted by the paparazzi when they eat. Small tricks are not completely safe, and besides, they don't have that free time: while Jenny is busy attending various parties, accepting interviews, taking pictures for Valentino's endorsement, giving a platform for her own charity fund, and even learning business knowledge and continuing her education in acting. , Christopher also has one party after another and social activities to attend, and the two parties attend different types of parties. Apart from the fact that it was difficult to meet, the two had different party styles. Often Jenny was washing up and getting ready for bed, while the good show on Christopher's side had just begun.
So, Christopher can be regarded as showing his "actor character". When Jenny didn't win the award, although the two rarely saw each other, they would talk on the phone every few days. After Jenny won the award , all Hollywood came to flatter her, but Chris and her had reduced contact with her, and it can even be said that they lost contact—Jenny thought that the two would continue to lose contact for a while, so they were one in London and the other last year. In the Caribbean, it’s hard to find time to make phone calls together, but the scandal between her and Leo obviously stimulated Chris’s nerves, so that she had to give up her scheduled itinerary for today and hide in the nanny In the backseat of the car, dodging the flashing lights of the paparazzi, we drove with Chris to his idyllic Malibu mansion.
"Isn't that obvious enough?" If Chris had cat ears, he would have folded his head flat to express his anger by now, and he walked manically around the pool, waving his hands from time to time to reinforce his tone, "You were completely used by Leo. There is no doubt that it was the paparazzi he contacted - I have already analyzed it clearly with you in the car. I don't think I need to say it again now. You should stop talking to him at all. Meet—stop being used by him, Jennifer!"
The man who was in a fit of anger was irrational at all, Jenny suppressed the urge to roll her eyes, and said patiently, "And I've told you for the umpteenth time, it's impossible, first of all we have the same manager, and second—he Could be in a movie with me, how do I stop seeing him if he's in a movie with me?"
Although Chris's expression was already ugly, she still couldn't help but add, "Besides, even if Leo calls the paparazzi to take pictures, if you don't agree to take Giselle on the red carpet, these things would have It doesn't have to happen."
"So now it's all my fault?" Chris pointed to himself and raised his voice dramatically, "Am I the one who got you into scandal and criticism now? The fact is that we are enough You have maintained a very good relationship for a year, and the media doesn't know about it, do you think it doesn't take effort——"
"You're making it sound like you deserve a Nobel Prize," Jenny was genuinely amused, "or should you be getting a best friend of the year award - Chris, what the **** is wrong with you? Acting like a middle schooler on this one."
She stood up and walked into the house, "And I refuse to repeat the quarrel we had on the phone, which is a waste of time. Be mature, or don't expect me to talk to you."
Yes, they had already argued vehemently on the phone - Chris' backlash on the matter was truly extraordinary, insisting that Leo had been using Jenny to get back at him, whether it was Bell's house party revelations , or the sneak shot of Cameron's dinner, it was all arranged by Leo. He even accused Jenny of being 'stupid' in this matter, "You shouldn't talk to him at all, but it's good now, in order to maintain your reputation, we can hardly see each other for a full year, and why did you ruin it? Got it? Nothing, nothing, nothing!"
Jenny had to argue for herself, "How did I know he would choose me to get revenge on you? Chris, did you skip some things and didn't say, for example, how did you reveal our relationship to a good friend— —A relationship we were supposed to keep secret?”
Arguments between men and women are often like this. One thing is related to another. Later, Jenny felt that it was ridiculous, and the end of the phone call was not pleasant—she thought that since Chris and Leo would cooperate tacitly against Cameron today, she should have calmed down and was ready to communicate, but she didn't expect to open her mouth Still this way of thinking. Jenny poured herself a glass of water angrily: It's not that she doesn't know how to appreciate the cuteness of a man when he's jealous, and also understands that this may be the most naive time for a man—Leonardo is very naive, so Chris doesn't seem to be so naive. Unforgivable, but this whole 'we're on the same agent, we might have to work together again, so don't tear your face apart' bottom line **** her off.
Christopher was still standing by the swimming pool, rubbing his chin irritably, and glanced into the room from time to time. He wanted to enter the room several times, but Jenny raised her finger and pointed back in warning. She knew what Christopher wanted to do—a lot of times, fights were about who was more emotional, who felt more hurt. And she will definitely not get used to Chris's faults, no matter how he used his handsome and depressed appearance to seek benefits for himself in the past, the method of preying on beauty and murder will not work for her.
Maybe she is not familiar with Leonardo, maybe Christopher is a little more mature than him. After standing by the swimming pool for a while, Christopher's expression gradually calmed down. It is obvious that he has begun to think Yes, at least he is examining his own performance. Jenny is sure that he still has the ability to rate his attitude in this matter: Leo scored very low, and the idea of trying to hook her up to get revenge on Chris is simply naive. If he came to arrange it, it would be extremely childish. But this is not to say that Christopher is much more mature than him. If he does not show his rational and calm side at the right time, Jenny will definitely give him a low score.
When he walked towards the living room again, his expression had changed. This time, Jenny didn't stop him, but instead poured him a glass of whiskey, opened the small refrigerator and added ice for him, "Here—your favorite double One part whiskey, half part ice."
"Thank you." Christopher took the glass, he cleared his throat, and took a sip, "So, I think I owe you an apology."
"Why?" Jenny asked.
"For dragging you into this mess," Chris said, "you're right, if it weren't for me, you wouldn't be in the trouble you're in today, so anyway, I'm sorry, Jennifer, I No. I shouldn't have given Giselle the red carpet, no matter what she said, it was a bad idea-but, it must be stated, it wasn't because she slept with me, I was just supporting her. "
He shrugged, "I'm on good terms with her, and I don't think Leo should give her hope if he's not planning to get married—but anyway, it's not because she slept with me, which I think should make you I know, although it doesn't mean you care."
"I'm glad you finally regained your senses," Jenny said, and her tone softened, "Actually, I don't really care—"
She is telling the truth. Chris and her are friends. They have never made any exclusive promises to each other. Chris himself said that he just wants to be the best of them all. Jenny herself doesn't even have this kind of ambition. As long as the time is right, they are still interested in each other, and there is nothing wrong with having fun together, but at the same time, they don't need to bear any responsibilities and shackles. Stamp collection, or whether she has found a new love herself, these are not matters that the other party can ask - this line is relatively clear, she and Chris should have a consensus -
"But I hope you care," Christopher said, his tone calm and sincere, "Jen, I really hope you do."
Jennie's expression froze on her face, Christopher pursed his lips, and smiled slightly, "I hope you will ask about my scandal, me and Suzanne Baum, me and Giselle, me and Eva Green ——I don’t know, I hope you care about what happened between me and those women, I hope you can ask, just like I want to ask you and Leo—and Josh, and Chesa Is there—"
He sighed, "I'm sorry, I've behaved strangely recently, and I've lost control of my emotions. I think it's because I don't have the courage to say what I really should say, so I let the escape make everything worse, let Looks like a naive loser to myself—like another Leo."
He has obviously recovered to the point where he can tell jokes, and this one-liner really made Jenny a little amused, she bit her jaw to stop herself from laughing, but looked at Christopher quietly.
Christopher is a little uneasy, but the emotional background is calm, he is like a warrior on the guillotine, doing self-analysis with the fearlessness of risking everything, "This is a rare thing for me, usually this It rarely happens to me, I like sex, I like fresh faces, I like simple and clean looking around, I used to think that no one could be more attractive than this way of life - those so-called true love It's just a hoax made up by Hollywood to rip off the box office, so when it happened, I'll admit I was a little bit hesitant - thank you for saying to you 'let's see where it goes', that's just It's just a lie—"
He took a deep breath, "Jenny Jefferson, I think I'm in love with you, probably when I said to you 'let's see where it goes', I didn't Know what I really love about you, but you're definitely an amazing woman, and to be honest, you even put me under a little pressure - I suspect I might be a little unworthy of you, so I've kept my mouth shut, but that's bad decision, didn't you? I guess you've already seen it, and the longer I hide it, the more cowardly I look. So I'll just say it all now, yes, I'm in love with you, I'm not like myself because of you , in the past six months, every time we meet is a terrible torture for me, I have to use a lot of strength to suppress those questions, I want to ask you, I hope you will ask me, I become Trying to test your feelings for me—I even understand why girls like to watch romantic movies—I deliberately distanced you, and I rejected your appointment when I should call, but I couldn’t help but look forward to your call, Many times, I knew you were at a certain party, and I wanted to rush to see you. When I saw your affair with Leo, even though my reason knew that it was almost impossible to be true, I couldn't help but feel jealous—— I think these are clear signs of being in love, and I'm in love with you, Jenny, and I think you already know that, but you should really hear it from me--I just have to say it to you myself. "
Chris exhaled, his shoulders relaxed, as if he had finished some heavy work, he picked up the glass and drank it down, wiped his lips, and showed the same expression as when the two met for the first time With a heartless smile, "——Speaking of which, you and Leo really have nothing to do, right?"
Jenny opened her mouth and closed it again, she shook her head, Christopher showed a childish smile, made a fist pose to himself, then quickly calmed down, and smiled shyly at Jenny, as if Sorry for his gaffe. "You're not surprised—you already knew that, didn't you?"
Jenny licked her lips, and suddenly felt the urge not to look into Chris' eyes—but, this was tantamount to admitting defeat and handing over the dominance to Chris.
"I..." she said, and couldn't help sighing—how could she not know? "I just—oh, Chris—I just don't know why you chose to break it up now."
