Chapter 172 172 The Collapse of Theron, the Coming Judgment

Chapter 168 168. Theron's collapse, the coming judgment

"Hi Theron! Is it convenient now?"

In the driving seat of the Wrangler, Eric dialed the phone while driving.

"Eric, what's wrong?"

"How about having dinner together? By the way, let's discuss the plot of "Inception."

"Well, sorry Eric, I'm a little tired. I don't want to go out tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"You sound a little depressed. What happened?" Eric asked knowingly.

Theron hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nothing, I'm just a little tired from filming. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up the phone. I need to rest for a while."

"Wait, after filming for a whole day, it's not good for your health to go to bed without dinner. If you don't want to come out, I'll buy you some food."

Hearing that Eric was coming over, Theron hurriedly refused: "No, it's too troublesome. In fact, I'm not hungry at all!"

"Is your boyfriend at home?" Eric simply hit a straight ball.

"Is he here?"

"Is he here or not?"

"Yes."

"Really?"

Theron was silent for a while before speaking: "No, he's not at home."

"Okay, wait for me in half an hour at most!"

"No, Eric, you mustn't"

"It's settled!"

After hanging up the phone, Eric smiled. He could feel the entanglement in the other party's tone.

And the entanglement just means that he is in her heart, and he is enough to shake her position as her boyfriend.

A few minutes later, seeing that the call never came back, Eric was more certain of his thoughts.

If Theron really didn't want to let him go, she would definitely call again to dissuade him, or even say something harsh, but she didn't.

Her current state is like a person walking on the edge of a cliff. Even if he just exerted a little effort, she could fall down with an excuse.

The Wrangler throttled and rushed directly to Leonard's restaurant. The two had dined here many times, and Eric knew what she liked to eat.

At the same time, in Beverly Hills, Charlize Theron's villa.

The woman leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, finally sitting helplessly on the ground, and the phone slipped from her palm.

A string of numbers had been displayed on the electronic screen, but her fingers did not fall on the dial button after all.

Sighing, Theron couldn't help but ask herself, what's wrong with her? What is she doing? She actually allowed a man to come to her house.

The scary thing is not because this man is strange, but because he is familiar.

The two have been together for more than a month, and she is not a fool, so she can naturally feel Eric's friendship for her.

"Could it be that I have accepted Eric's feelings in my subconscious? Otherwise, why would I acquiesce to his arrival?"

"No, that's not the case. Eric is an investor, a producer, and a player with power, and I'm just a card on the table."

"How can a card refuse a player? I just succumbed to his power."

"As for feelings, we are friends, and can only be friends. Today is just a dinner between friends, and it doesn't mean anything."

"I can't betray Stuart. By the way, Stuart, I must tell him that if he sees him, Eric will definitely back down."

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron picked up her phone to find her boyfriend's number, and then her finger stopped on the dial button again.

Looking at the phone screen in front of her, she felt that her fingers were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and she couldn't press it.

There was a struggle in her mind, and I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I heard the doorbell, and then I woke up.

Looking up at the time, Theron was shocked and said, "Oh no, why has it been so long? Eric must be here."

As if pushed by an invisible force again, she decisively threw away her phone and threw away the idea of ​​notifying her boyfriend.

Opening the door, it was indeed the little man who made her uneasy.

Eric raised the paper bag in his hand: "Look at the logo on it, they are all your favorite dishes."

Theron said helplessly: "I told you that you don't need to come, Eric."

"But I'm here, don't you invite me in?"

Theron took the bag: "Well, for the sake of the food, at least you do remember what I like to eat."

Bang!

Eric walked into the house. It was his first time to come to Theron's house. His goal in his heart instantly became clearer, that is, to make this place his own home in the future.

After pouring the food onto the plate, Theron asked, "What do you want to drink? Coke? Juice? Wine?"

"Of course wine, it's the most suitable drink for this moment."

"Why?"

"The chef recommended that this foie gras must be paired with red wine to taste good, and your mood seems to need a little alcohol to numb it."

Theron's hand trembled violently: "What does this have to do with my mood?"

"Because it hears the sadness deep in your heart." Eric pointed to his ears.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Under Eric's powerful eye attack, Theron was defeated and hurriedly turned to the wine cabinet.

"Uh, Harlan Winery, is it okay? Or Stag's Leap Winery?"

"Stag's Leap Winery, Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of grapes."

"The king of grapes is just right for you, the king of Hollywood, is that what you mean?"

Eric shook his head slightly: "The King of Hollywood, haha. I don't like this title. Harvey Weinstein can be called the Emperor of Hollywood. He completely tarnished this title."

"I heard that Harvey Weinstein is not a good person. There are rumors in the circle that he likes to be unruly to actresses."

"It's not a rumor. I can tell you accurately that it is a fact. There are at least dozens of actresses who have been sexually assaulted or threatened to be sexually assaulted by him."

Hearing this, Charlize Theron was a little surprised at first, and then nodded in understanding. The circle is so fucked up. What can we do?

Bringing the food over, the two sat on the ground.

Charlize Theron suddenly asked: "Eric, you won't be like Weinstein, right?"

"Do you think I need it?" Eric asked back, pointing at his handsome face.

The two laughed immediately. Charlize Theron thought that she had been alone with the other party so many times, and Eric had plenty of opportunities. If he really wanted to force it, he would have done it long ago, but he didn't.

Well, he seems to be getting bolder and bolder recently. He is no longer satisfied with verbal teasing and has started to make moves.

But it was not annoying at all, as if it broke through his defenses silently.

"It will take half an hour to sober up, we can eat something first."

"Or watch a movie, I got a DVD."

"Intolerable, Jennifer Lopez? I like her." Charlize Theron took the tape and looked at it.

"What kind of movie is this?"

"Thriller crime, suspense, I haven't seen it either, the boss stuffed it into my mouth."

In fact, Eric certainly knew that the content of the movie involved domestic violence, the husband abused his wife, and then the wife woke up, beat and killed the other party to revenge, it was a revenge movie.

For Charlize Theron, this kind of movie is much better than horror movies.

Turning on the DVD player, the Sony Columbia logo floated by, and the two ate and watched.

The movie was last year, and the picture quality was very clear.

As the plot of the movie progressed, the two had put down their tableware, and Charlize Theron frowned and looked at the TV screen with a distressed face.

Bang!

"OMG!"

As the scum husband broke his wife's ribs with a punch, even though she knew it was a movie, the memory of the past was still attacking her.

Theron couldn't stand it anymore, so she turned her head and closed her eyes.

Seeing this, Eric approached and held her in his arms.

At the moment when their bodies touched, he clearly felt that Theron's body trembled, but she didn't resist.

The two hugged each other quietly, and they could hear each other's heartbeats.

Eric didn't go any further. After a while, he said, "Don't be afraid, she's going to kill that scumbag."

Theron opened her eyes and moved slightly. When she found that it didn't work, she stopped struggling and leaned on Eric's chest, and her attention returned to the movie.

In the end, when the scum husband was beaten by his wife with a punch and his wife was considered to be self-defense, Theron finally smiled.

Eric took the opportunity to peck her on the face, and Theron trembled again.

Then something seemed to move, four lips suddenly joined together, a pair of arms wrapped around Eric's neck, and the two kissed passionately.

The moist breath filled the air, Eric tried hard to taste Theron's taste, and the two's heavy breathing intertwined.

The kiss lasted for several minutes, as if to vent all the lovesickness and desires during this period of time.

Suddenly, Eric felt a force coming from his chest, and he was pushed to the ground, while Theron hurriedly stood up and took a few steps back.

She waved her hands repeatedly: "Eric, it's wrong for us to do this. I have a boyfriend, you know."

"And Stuart didn't betray me. Please don't force me anymore. I'm worried that I really can't control myself and betray him. I don't want to be the bad guy."

Eric smiled and motioned to Theron to be quiet: "Okay, I respect your decision. I won't force you. Don't worry, okay?"

Theron panted and looked at Eric: "Really?"

"Really, I promise that what happened just now won't happen again, okay?"

Theron nodded: "Okay, I... I'll go heat up the food, you wait."

Seeing that she didn't dare to look at him at all, and found a lame excuse like running away, Eric couldn't help laughing.

But it seems that he needs to work harder. He knows that Theron is a more loyal woman.

With her beauty and status, it's normal for her suitors to cross the Atlantic from Los Angeles to London.

But she actually has very few scandals, especially during her relationship, and there has been no rumors of cheating.

Is it because the gossip tabloids don't work hard? Of course not, the entertainment media business capabilities of the United States are top in the world.

The main reason is that it is really hard to find a woman like Theron.

And if you really want to get such a woman, you have to spend more time.

Then, the two drank the red wine that had been decanted, ate the leftover food, and discussed the plot of the movie.

After the passionate kiss just now, Eric could feel that Theron's heart was more open, and she began to talk about the most painful memory.

Dad abused mom and herself, and mom chose to shoot dad to protect herself.

The two have been alone many times, and this is the first time Theron talked about this topic.

The chatterbox opened, and the two drank one glass after another. Eric couldn't persuade her, so he could only accompany her to drink.

Then he held her in his arms again, smelling the alcohol in her breath, watching her gradually heavy eyelids, until she completely softened in his arms.

"Alas! Sometimes it's hard to be a gentleman, especially when facing a beauty like you, but your beauty lowers my rationality while raising my morality."

"How can I take advantage of you? Have a good sleep."

Eric picked up Theron while talking to himself, went to the second-floor bedroom to help her take off her shoes, and then put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at this beautiful face, he couldn't help but lower his head, kissed Theron's forehead gently, and then closed the door and left.

After a while, Theron slowly opened her eyes when she heard the sound coming from the kitchen downstairs.

After a while, she saw Eric's back through the curtains and her mouth corners slightly raised.

She touched the part of her forehead that was kissed, and then her boyfriend's roar and quarrels in the past few days emerged in her mind again.

Theron shook her head and covered her head with the quilt.

Seven days passed in a flash. During this period, Eric was filming seriously. He did not harass Theron again when "Monster" was finished, but kept in touch with her by phone and text messages every day.

During this period, he also completed the outline of the script of "Inception" which he had been writing for more than a month. He found a script doctor to enrich it and arranged for the producer to contact Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy and other main actors.

As for Neeko, he naturally delivered it himself, went through the back door, cleared the sewer, played with small bells, sang an opera and danced.

After several months of script improvement, "La Vie en Rose" finally started filming, and the most important director choice finally fell on Ron Howard.

Eric admired and appreciated this big guy very much. He was known as the best director in Hollywood to shoot biopics and directed countless good works.

He just won the Oscar for Best Director with "A Beautiful Mind" the year before last. In short, he was absolutely assured to leave it to him.

He did not participate in the script of "Supernatural", but only proposed the idea.

The unit drama format is actually easier. Nine screenwriters were hired to work directly, and the first draft was submitted to me in a short time.

Eric reviewed it and made some revisions. It is estimated that it will start filming at the end of August.

The first season of "American Horror Story" still chose Murder House as the prototype of the script. Eric proposed an idea and arranged a screenwriter.

"Hannibal" is adapted from a novel, so the original author Thomas Harris was naturally dragged over, and two screenwriters were found, and the three of them went to work on it.

The one that really needs Eric to take good care of is "Breaking Bad". If this drama is only given an idea, ordinary screenwriters really can't do it, and it must be polished.

On the set, Andrea praised: "Director, I'm glad to see you are so serious. I'm really afraid that you will just give up like you did in Blue Is the Warmest Color."

Eric laughed: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Hmm?"

Handed the director's microphone to Andrea: "You will be in charge of the set for the next few days. I have something to deal with."

"Ah? You're doing this again!"

"Haha. If you endure hardships, you will be able to endure more hardships. I will invest in you to make a short film. Come on!"

After drawing a big pie, Eric left the crew. He had to rush to Santa Barbara because Michael's trial was coming soon.

Thanks to Luciferhx for the 100-coin reward, and thanks to all the readers for their company.
