9days ago Urban Novels 8
Hey!Let's see it first!When Natalie wanted to take a bag of paper off the item holder, she suddenly reached out to snatch it, and Memi, who was next to her, immediately called out.

oh?

The brown-haired girl who was carrying a shopping basket turned over and snatched the paper away. Her simple but refreshing outfit made her look beautiful, and she stood among the girls with a sense of being outstanding.

After raising her eyebrows at Natalie, she said in a lazy tone with a little contempt: I'm so sorry, Her Majesty, we didn't notice that you are here too.

The girls who followed her all laughed at each other, all with despised eyes.

Please forgive me for my recklessness, Your Majesty.

The brown-haired girl continued to say, but I don't think you would mind taking this bag of paper, right?You certainly don't know how huge the party we host to welcome new members is and how much paper it takes to use.Of course, I can invite you to watch if you like, in place of Camilla.

Don't be so childish, Deanna, you look like a little girl who is not grown up who likes to show off her toys!

Memi said sarcastically that she had to say a few more words, but Natalie grabbed her.

It's yours, Deanna, but allow me to remind you.

Natalie looks serious and all the royal expenses must be reported to the parliament, so I must state in the document I gave them that this bag will be transferred to you.

After saying that, she shrugged and pulled Meimi away without giving him a chance.

It is stated on the document that I gave it to you, Oh God Ah, I really want to stay there to appreciate Deanna's expression, that must be fun.Memi giggled.

No, although Deanna is flamboyant, she is also one of the few people in the sisters who have a little brain. Even if she is unhappy, she will not reveal it.Natalie said in a plain tone.

You don't care at all, Natalie?Memi asked curiously.

Why do I care about them?Yes, they are rich and appealing, but is it necessary for us to please them?Natalie shrugged.

Brotherhood and sisterhood have always been traditional organizations in American universities, or they may not have the power as well as students, but as long as students joining it, they can easily build their own connections. Therefore, the children of the top class were members of the organization during their college years, and most of the children of the middle and lower classes were rushing to enter.

Generally speaking, it is easy for children from wealthy families, especially those who are connected to each other, to get in, but it is not that easy for children from middle and lower classes.

They will face all kinds of weird pranks, which are part of the test of joining the society. If they cannot pass, they cannot enter the fraternity or sisterhood.

You should know that both the fraternity and the sisterhood are in the hands of the children of the rich. Among these people, there are no shortage of elite figures, but more of them are still some playboys.

So it is common to have fun with these middle and lower-level students who want to come in. It is also their normal situation to look down on other students. A small conflict like today began when Natalie entered Harvard.

After all, there are not many people who are famous all over the United States and even the world before entering school. Even though the newly released prequel was criticized by many hardcore Star Wars fans, Natalie is indeed widely known because of this movie. Anyone will have psychological imbalance, even those rich children who have had food and clothing since childhood.

But because of this, Natalie didn't take them seriously. As she told Memi, is it necessary to please them?

Let me see, blank notebooks, People magazines, tomato sauce... that's all, let's go back.

After walking around the convenience store, Memi said this after finding all the things she wanted to buy.

Wait, there is this one.Natalie took something off the item rack and threw it into the shopping basket.

Yes, the potato chips that Verina wants.Meimi laughed and was about to make a few jokes when the voices of the girls suddenly floated into her ears from the diagonal behind the other side of the cargo rack.

Speaking of which, what's the slut about? "All expenses must be reported to the parliament"?Does she really think she is a queen?This is the voice of one of the girls.

Unfortunately, she is indeed, now everyone in the United States knows that she is Queen Amidala.This is Deanna's voice.

Oh, come on, he's just a star.

A girl's voice sounded, Do you know, a week ago, I went back to New York to attend the MTV Awards ceremony and saw her with my own eyes and that...Adrian Cowell, a famous Hollywood playboy, made out at the ceremony.

No, right?I heard that she was born in a conservative Jewish family and listened very much to her parents.An incredible voice rang.

This is normal. You will never know what her true face is until you truly know someone.

Deanna's voice sounded again, and she was lazy again, as if she was proud of what to catch.

These bitches.Memi cursed lowly, and was about to remind these idiots who were talking about others behind their backs, but Natalie held them back again.

She shook her head calmly, then walked along the shelf to the cashier. Meimi sighed and followed her.

They are really too much, how can they say that to others?On the way back, Memi said indignantly, as if we were provoking them!

It's normal, they are those kinds of people, and their mistakes are always someone else's.Natalie shrugged indifferently.

Then you shouldn't watch them spread rumors, right?Memi frowned.

Don't worry, Memi, believe me, if I attended the MTV Awards ceremony a week ago, the tabloids must be clearer than them.Natalie chuckled.

This is...Memi's eyes lit up, but she soon looked at her with some hesitation.

Ask whatever you want.Natalie glanced at her.

Well... Memi smiled a little embarrassedly, but asked: I remember, your first work seemed to be collaborating with Adrian Cowell, right?And there is news that Amidala's character was recommended by him, so...so...

what you think?Natalie laughed and turned her head to look at Memi jokingly.

Memi coughed dryly and then lowered her head.

But you can consider it.Natalie suddenly said again, and then her friend raised her head in surprise.

My first work was indeed collaborated with him, and the character Amidala was indeed recommended to me. No matter those gossip and scandals, he is indeed a very charming man. Maybe he can really try to date him next time.

Although Natalie said seriously, she finally laughed out loud.

Meimi then laughed out loud and glared at her fiercely: OK OK, I will never talk about such a topic again.

The two girls returned to the dormitory just by playing and chatting. After a few more words, Natalie entered her bedroom. The moment the door closed, her original smile disappeared immediately, and her whole face sank.

It took several seconds before she calmed down and then her brows frowned.

I thought I could wait...

Walking back and forth in the room twice, closing her eyes and recalling carefully, sorting out all the plans again, and there should be no mistakes, so she quickly made up her mind.

Ed?After the phone was opened, Natalie spoke immediately and frowned. At this time, she should wait for the other party to ask questions first.

But the people over there didn't hear anything, and the tone came was very light: Hi, Nada, it's so happy to receive your call. Do 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 for Harry Potter is over and filming is about to start, and I have to go over and see it myself.By the way, I brought Kaila from London, and there is a character here that suits her very well.Then I'm going to New Zealand soon, and the shooting there will be continued.

Adrian replied with a smile.

Are you available now?Adrian reached out and swept the hair in his ears. His voice was very stable and he had completely controlled his emotions.

Of course, is there anything I need to serve you?

Something...I want to talk to you?

Has something happened?

No, I actually had the idea of ​​wanting to talk to you before, but I always felt it was not suitable. Now, after calming down and thinking hard, I finally sorted out my thoughts. So... the day after tomorrow is the weekend, and tomorrow I will go to Los Angeles to attend an event. If possible, can I give me some time on the weekend?

……no problem.

After turning off the phone, Natalie breathed a long sigh, now there is only one last step left, as long as she can pass...

The weekend came as promised, and Cambridge City, which was already lively, became even more lively. Both the Brotherhood and Sisters began to decorate their party venues to prepare for a carnival, but Natalie had already gone to Los Angeles.

The charitable activity was not big, so I slept well in the hotel that night, and after getting up, I adjusted a little, and only went to Adrian's mansion in Beverly Hills after I recovered to my best.

Why are there so few people in the house?

Although he followed Adrian through the living room and went upstairs, he saw almost no servant along the way, let alone his secretary assistant or the personal maid.

Because you are coming.Adrian turned his head and smiled.

Natalie couldn't help laughing. Although she has not been here many times in the past few years, every time she comes, Adrian will let others leave to prevent anyone from seeing her.

Time flies so fast, and a few years have passed in a flash. I have to say that Adrian is sometimes very considerate...

She quickly realized that her thoughts were floating, and then she restrained herself.

Want something to drink?After coming to the study, Adrian opened his wine cabinet. How about Romani Conte in 1977?Pure and soft.

No, Ed.Natalie, who sat down, smiled.

That won’t work. Drinking some red wine can make you beautiful, even though you are already very beautiful.Adrian said, turning his head to make a tsk sound.

For a moment, Natalie wanted to laugh, but she immediately controlled herself. Many times she was like this. Unconsciously, she was guided by his words. Today, she could not do this, otherwise she might fail.

Ed!she exclaimed in a stressful tone.

OK OK OK.Adrian sighed, closed the wine cupboard and made it behind the desk. So, what's the matter?You dress so formally, do you want to break up with me?

His tone was like a joke, but Natalie nodded solemnly: Yes!

Adrian was obviously stunned, as if he was at a loss. Natalie continued: I know this is a bit sudden, but I really think that we should end the relationship. This is not a choice made because of impulse, but a result of careful consideration.

She raised her head and looked at him with sincere eyes: We had a very pleasant time, Ed, I never deny this, although... I don't regret it. I like to chat, go shopping, and play with you. You can always grasp my thoughts. I am really happy.But... some things always bother me... I know you have many women, and I know you know you have many women, but you... have never brought these to me, and there was no hint at all.

I don't know what you are thinking, Ed, although I have tried to understand, you always give me a...full of fog, and I can't catch you.I have been waiting for your explanation and comfort, even if I know that you will not give up on others for me, but you always remain silent in this regard... After hesitation for a while, I finally chose to give up. I don't want to be your in life appendix, I don't want to compete with those women for you, so... I'm sorry.

She breathed a sigh of relief, staring at Adrian straight, waiting for his response.

The smile had already disappeared from his face. While listening to her story, Adrian was a little surprised at first, then frowned, but finally returned to peace. At this moment, he was sitting behind the desk, folded his hands in front of him, looking at her motionlessly, with his dark eyes giving people a deep feeling, as if no one could find anything from it.

Facing this indescribable gaze, Natalie's fingers placed on the armrest could not help but rub them gently.

After so long, Adrian finally spoke. His voice was very soft, but his words were not very light: Why not tell the truth, Nada?

Natalie did not respond, but just looked at her without blinking. She had already said everything she should say, and responding rashly would only call the initiative of her words into the other party's hands.

I admit that there are indeed several reasons you will choose to end.

Adrian didn't wait and spoke again soon, his voice was still very light, as if it was coming from the sky, which was unpredictable, but the main reason was not this. You would choose to end because you thought you could not get more from me, or in other words, what you got from me would be far less than what you lost!

Natalie still looked at him quietly without saying anything, but just squeezed his hands slightly.

You have always been a very special girl, smart, precocious, confident, and... proud.Adrian continued, calm as if he was not at all emotional. You can always adapt to the surrounding environment quickly and know how to achieve your goals. Even if you face difficulties, you can quickly find solutions, such as getting a second audition opportunity through an agent familiar to the director, or trying to win over relationships with the director to maintain your own advantages, while making plans for the future, even if you know that he has many problems.

But this is not your ultimate goal. What you want deep down you want is unique, what you want is unreplicable, what you want is Natalie Portman first, not Audrey Hepburn second!

Maintaining an intimate relationship with this director does bring you a lot of benefits, and this director is indeed very good at promoting people. After he started directing movies, Oscars and actresses were constantly born from his hands. You believe that you will be able to ascend this throne one day.

But you soon find that there are many disadvantages, because he is very fickle and almost all the women he has worked with have slept 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 when there is an actress who can win an Oscar for the Best Actress because the gossip that is circulating in bed that is comfortable serving him, you are becoming more and more sure that you must change.

You don't want to be said to be like this in the future. Although you have known that this is the norm in the entertainment industry and you don't care much. The benefits you get are the most important, you will never want to be talked about by the public in this way.

Because you are proud and you are unwilling to be on par with others. You can tolerate the lows of your career and can repeatedly temper yourself for your acting skills, but you will definitely not tolerate your honor being looked down upon!

It is easy to leave him, because I heard someone mention it in private that he said that if his woman wants to leave, she will never stop her as long as she explains it clearly, and she is doing this almost.

But the problem is that if you leave immediately, you will lose a lot of opportunities, and you won’t not understand what opportunities mean.

And because of family and other reasons, although you have some good works, you can only be considered a second-tier actor for a long time, and even that director cannot change this for the time being.

So you've been waiting patiently for the plan until the release of Star Wars prequel and Harvard has passed your application.

By referring to SAT and AP and winning the AP Scholar Award and published papers, you have successfully established a unique actor image, beautiful and intelligent; and the release of the Star Wars prequel made her name resound throughout the United States, thus gathering a lot of popularity.

More importantly, there are two more movies to be produced after the Star Wars prequel. You don’t have to worry about your popularity and commercial value for a long time. You can work with other directors to advance to the Oscars, rather than relying on that guy.

At the same time, the nomination for the best supporting actress at the beginning of the year is certainly an honor, but it also sounds a wake-up call for you. If you continue, the most worrying thing may become a reality, so after you are ready, just a little stimulation is enough to make a showdown decision.

He finally sighed softly when he said this, looking at her and shook his head, as if he was sad and regretting: You are so realistic, Nada.
