Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 680 Opportunity?

With the turning of the key, the glottis opened, and Kate came in and took off her coat and threw it on the chair. After sitting on the sofa, she seemed to be loose and couldn't get up again.She stared at the ceiling, not knowing what she was thinking. After a long time, she forced herself to sit up, and after a moment of daze, she got up and went to the refrigerator in the kitchen to get the wine bottle and cup before returning to her original position.

The amber liquid quickly filled a glass, and after putting the bottle aside, Kate picked up the glass and brought it to her mouth to take a sip.After the stimulating feeling flowed down her throat, she silently leaned on the sofa, and involuntarily stroked her lower abdomen with her left hand, as if those hands were still there.

Fool, daredevil!Kate closed her eyes and sighed inwardly.Although the debate on same-sex marriage is raging in the UK, most people neither support nor oppose homosexuality, and the government is likely to pass a law on same-sex marriage by the end of the year, but this does not mean that it can be freely announced in public. Occasionally yell casually.

Thinking of the surprised eyes of those people in the cafe, Kate couldn't help but want to smile wryly.I don't even think about who I am... Well, even if you are confident in your makeup, but I don't do such a complicated dress, if there are paparazzi around, I won't even have time to cry!

Thinking of this, she suddenly opened her eyes, and Angela's pleading and resolute face emerged again.Even with the paparazzi around and showing her identity, she would still say that, right?Such a thought suddenly popped up, and Kate couldn't help being stunned, and the hand holding the cup became much tighter.

"For some reason, they didn't tell me what happened in detail, but as an old friend, I still guessed part of the situation. Frankly speaking, Angie's handling method is indeed very bad. Will be very angry, but Kate, have you ever thought that you were a little too impulsive when you made a decision? I am not trying to excuse Angie, any person faced with this situation will be overwhelmed with anger, such a decision Is it what you really want? As a friend, I can’t say too much about this kind of thing, but I know Angie is very, very attached to you, and I can see that feeling is definitely not fake. It’s almost the same now In the past three years, even the anger should have subsided. I have seen your situation in the past three years, so why not take the time to sit down and have a good talk with Angie? Even to see if she has really repented ?” The magic mother’s words rang in my ears, and soon it became Rachel again.

"In a way, Angie is also a poor person. Not everyone breaks up with three people at the same time on graduation day, and all three people occupy a very important place in her heart. Of course, this is her own. I found it, and she admits it herself, but she really loves these three people. Well, it's a bit ridiculous and weird to say this kind of thing from me who has been entangled with Angie, and I don't even know why I came Be a lobbyist. But... Although I haven't been in touch since March, I came anyway, maybe because I saw... her tears. The stubborn desperation is impossible to ignore, so when Annie told me, When Angie cried out with regret, she was very sad. So, no matter what happened between the three of us, I still hope that you can at least talk to her, even if there is no relationship in the future, at least there will be no relationship left. It's a pity... After this time, I won't have any contact with Angie again..."

Rachel... Kate chanted the woman's name and sipped the wine in the glass. When the face that seemed to see through everything appeared in front of her eyes, she seemed to overturn the five-flavored bottle in her heart.Bits and pieces of the past flooded into my heart again, but all kinds of feelings turned into resentment in the end.

When she cried... what would it be like?Kate thought silently in her heart.I have known her for 20 years, and I have seen her suffering, her grievances, her cuteness, and her shyness. Even though sometimes my eyes are teary because of certain things, I have never really shed tears. Not to mention wailing.

Am I jealous?Such a thought suddenly popped up, and Kate suddenly poured down all the remaining liquid in the cup, then put it on her forehead and let out a long breath with a wry smile.Think about it, why have I actively reduced various contracts in the past few years?Why do I feel intermittently in a trance after talking to Joe and Rachel several times?Why... I have walked around the streets so many times, but I just revisited the old place today and just happened to meet it?

The image of Angela clutching her ankle suddenly jumped in front of Kate's eyes. Although she had carefully disguised herself at the time, Kate recognized her at a glance without any doubt.

Angie... How should I face you?Looking up at the ceiling, Kate asked with a wry smile in her heart.

Yawning, Angela, who woke up from sleep, rubbed her eyes, and subconsciously reached out to hug her side.She came to her senses only after she had lost her mind, supported half of her body and looked at the hotel suite, Angela smiled self-deprecatingly.

It's been... It's been a long time since I did this when I woke up.

After getting out of bed and washing up in the bathroom, Angela opened the curtains in her pajamas, and the morning sun immediately poured into the room, adding a bit of vitality.After pouring herself a cup of hot drink, she walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows and watched the street outside the hotel while drinking slowly.The view of this suite is very good. During this period of time in London, Angela would wake up like this every day in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a hot drink to look at the scenery outside. Especially recently, the sun is rarely seen every day, and the street view bathed in the warm morning light is different. Such beauty.

But today, Angela, who was looking at the scenery as usual, had a peace in her heart that she didn't understand.

Is it because she finally apologized to Kate, or because Kate didn't completely reject herself?Angela smiled self-deprecatingly and then pursed her lips. Her thoughts went back to yesterday afternoon.

Kate didn't speak after being wrapped around her waist, she just stood there silently holding Angela's hand, even though the people around were whispering something.After a long while, she took Angela's arm and left the cafe. The two walked a long distance close together before stopping.

"I think... I want to go back first." Kate said hesitantly, staring into Angela's eyes.

Angela didn't answer, but stubbornly and beggingly held her arm tightly.After a stalemate like this for a long time, Kate said in a helpless tone: "Give me some...time, please?"

Angela still wanted to insist, but seeing Kate also showed a pleading look, she finally let go.

"Will you call me?" Angela asked softly, "It's never changed."

"Should... I will... That's it, Angie, I have to go back." Kate said and waved to a taxi, then said goodbye to Angela and left.

This is already the best result.Thinking back, Anji stretched her hand and pressed it against the glass of the floor-to-ceiling window. Feeling the coolness coming from her palm, she slightly raised the corners of her mouth.Even if there is no contact in the future, at least... Although my heart still hurts, I believe time will smooth these things out.

Just then the phone rang, and she walked over to pick it up and looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number.Thinking back, Angela still pressed the answer button: "Hi, hello, who am I looking for?"

There was no sound over there, Angela frowned slightly and wanted to hang up the phone, but her heart moved slightly but she didn't take any action.After waiting patiently for a while, a long sigh finally came from the other side: "It's me, Angie."

Angela's heart was lifted immediately, and the hand holding the phone couldn't help but tighten.

"Hi, Kate, um... good morning... are you okay? I... just woke up..." Angela said incoherently. Although she tried her best to keep calm, her tone was still obviously agitated.

There was a chuckle over there: "Just woke up? You really have become a lot lazy."

"It's much better now," Angela finally adjusted. "If it was more than a month ago, I would never get up until noon every day. Now that I think about it, I am really surprised. I would be so lazy. It's unbelievable!"

At the end, she felt a little coquettish, but fortunately Angela came to her senses immediately, and quickly changed the topic: "By the way, what's the matter on the phone?"

There was silence on the other side of the phone. Angela waited patiently. A few minutes later, Kate's voice finally rang again: "Are you going to stay in London for a few more days? If you have time... I mean, if today If we have time, we may... we can go out for a walk together..."

"No problem, of course, I... I'm on vacation and I have plenty of time." Angela suppressed the excitement in her heart.

"We're just shopping." Kate said emphatically at this time.

"Of course, I understand, we're just shopping!" Angela nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, regardless of whether the other party couldn't see her on the other end of the phone.After closing the phone, she let out a long and excited breath, and suddenly became happy in her heart.

Although she didn't fully understand why this pleasure came, it didn't prevent her from enjoying this moment of relaxation.

The melodious symphony flows back and forth in the hall, sometimes gentle and sometimes passionate, sometimes like a trickling stream and sometimes like a raging sea, making the audience intoxicated by the wonderful music and unable to extricate themselves.

At the end of the song, warm applause resounded in the hall, the conductor turned around and bowed slightly, followed by the curtain slowly falling, and this afternoon's performance came to an end.

"It's a really wonderful performance." Kate clapped her hands and sighed, or because she listened to a wonderful symphony, the corners of her mouth slightly curled up with a faint smile.

"Yeah, it's very exciting." Angela, who was also clapping beside her, nodded, and after observing Kate, she suddenly suggested, "Why don't we go backstage and have a look?"

"Go backstage?" Kate turned her head with a surprised expression.

"That's right," Angela said in a hintingly seductive tone, "You know, not many people have been to the backstage of the London Philharmonic Orchestra, so we might as well go and see what they look like backstage."

"Come on, if we can go to the backstage with such a swagger, the people leaving the stage would have rushed over." Kate shrugged noncommittally, spreading her hands.

"It's a pity, my dear, we can indeed walk in with a big swagger." Angela proudly raised her fingers and shook it. As soon as she finished speaking, she realized that her words seemed a bit inappropriate at this time, and she couldn't help but look at it in embarrassment. Kate glanced.

"What way?" Kate squeezed her fist and coughed dryly, thus resolving the embarrassment.

Secretly relieved, Angela immediately explained: "Mr. Alan Bride, who is currently playing the cello in the orchestra, taught me the cello for a while when I was a child, so I and several players from the Philharmonic Orchestra We are very familiar with everyone. Through him, we can visit the backstage of the orchestra."

Kate nodded remembering something: "If you don't tell me, I forgot, you were also a guest at Mr. Yitzhak Perlman's concert, and you are very proficient in many musical instruments."

"Just a few." Angela rubbed her nose embarrassedly, "How about it, let's go and have a look?"

"Okay, let's go and see." Now that she said so, Kate also agreed.

They waited until the audience in the theater was almost gone before they stood up, and then walked along the aisle to the backstage under the leadership of Angela. As soon as they reached the door, a staff member blocked them: "I'm sorry, ma'am, there are non-visitors in the back." district."

"Sorry, you can help me inform Mr. Alan Brad, the cellist in the orchestra, that Christina from the Mason family has come to visit him." Angela said with a smile.

The staff looked at Angela and Kate suspiciously, and finally nodded: "Okay, please wait a moment."

He immediately walked back, and a loud voice came out in a few minutes: "Chris? You're here?!"

Then, a tall man who was about 6 feet 3 inches, aged between 50 and 60, and slightly bald came out from behind with a surprised expression.

However, he was stunned when he saw the woman in front of him clearly. This girl in a peaked cap and a big black curly dress was completely different from what he had seen in his mind. Only the pair of delicate flat glasses hidden There is a bit of similarity in the slyness that flashes from time to time in the black eyes behind them.

"Hey, what's the matter, Mr. Allen, it's not a gentleman's behavior to stare at a lady like this." Angela said in a teasing tone with her eyes bent, "Or are you waiting for me to curtsey?"

Alan Bride finally woke up from his astonishment. He patted his head dumbfounded and then asked in a puzzled tone, "Why... why are you dressed like this, Chris?"

"What? I'm ugly dressed like this?" Angela raised her eyebrows, and replied rather apologetically.

"Oh, of course not," Alan waved his hand quickly, "You look good no matter how you dress up, I just find it strange, after all, I've never seen you like this before, it's really...too surprising."

"What a pity," Angela shook her head tut-tsk, "I thought you could understand my situation."

"The situation? Oh, I understand," Allen nodded in a waking way, "I'm sorry, you know that we rarely encounter situations like yours in this regard, so it's understandable that we can't react for a while. Speaking of which, you actually dressed up like this, are you planning to make a new movie, I watched the news a few days ago..."

"Hey, Alan," Angela interrupted with a gesture, "shall we go in and talk?"

"Of course." Allen, who glanced around, quickly closed his mouth, but then looked at Kate suspiciously.

"My friend, Kate." Before he could ask, Angela introduced, "Kate, this is Mr. Alan Brad, my former cello teacher."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Brad."

"Nice to meet you, Miss Kate."

The two shook hands immediately, and Allen asked with a smile: "Has anyone ever said that you are very temperamental, Miss Kate?"

Angela then coughed lightly, and looked at Allen angrily.

"Okay, just kidding." The other party immediately laughed.

Angela couldn't help but snorted heavily to express her dissatisfaction. Kate, who covered her mouth and chuckled, subconsciously patted her on the shoulder comfortingly, only realized after Angela grabbed her hand, and quickly took it back .

Allen made a please gesture at this time: "Please come with me, two beautiful ladies."

Guided by acquaintances, with Alan's humorous commentary and friendly members, the backstage tour of the London Philharmonic Orchestra for the two was not bad.Angela would occasionally talk to Allen about music, but if caught, she would inevitably be teased.

"Why does it feel like you have regressed a bit?" Alan asked after Angela tried to play the cello for a while.

"No way, I wasted a period of time because of certain things. You know, if you don't practice for a day, you will regress, let alone a period of time." Angela shrugged helplessly, and cast a glance at Kate involuntarily.

Alan noticed her movement, and then took a look at Kate. He was not an idiot, so he could see that the relationship between the two was very subtle—Kate hardly spoke after arriving backstage, but she always followed Angela .

Of course, he didn't ask too many questions, just shrugged his shoulders: "It's such a pity, you must know that Perlman's evaluation of you is still vivid in your ears. If you are not going to make some movies and pop songs, say Might be a second Jacqueline Dupre."

"Mr. Perlman also said the same thing, but I don't dare to be so arrogant." Angela shrugged with a sigh, and then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, this year seems to be the 60th birthday of Jacqueline. What method will be used to commemorate her."

"Of course it's a concert," Allen replied without thinking, "There will be a commemorative concert here in the Barbican Arts Center Concert Hall two weeks later, and we plan to play the Elgar Cello Orchestra at the concert." play."

"Are you going to play the Elgar Cello Concerto at the memorial concert?" Angela raised her eyebrows. She looked at Kate thinking of something, and suddenly said, "I have a proposal, Alan."
