Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 296

Jordan Rupert is one of the best servers in the Empire State Building, and although he has only been here for less than two years, his polite demeanor, always smiling face has satisfied many guests, and is very Make fewer mistakes, and even if there are occasional mistakes, he can deal with them wittily. Maybe he can be a foreman after a while, but just now, he let himself lose his composure.

To be honest, Jordan has served in many high-class receptions, even this kind of large-scale reception on the 85th floor. It has become calm now, and occasionally I will bet with my colleagues in private to see which of these women will accidentally show their inconsistency.

However, at today's reception, there was an unusually beautiful figure that attracted the attention of all men.A low-cut, shoulderless goose-yellow evening dress with some embellishments perfectly set off her figure. The golden-brown hair tied behind her head made her mature in innocence, and the white and elegant gooseneck was even more beautiful. The smile on the corner of her mouth is slightly playful. The most important thing is that her beauty is not completely accumulated by cosmetics like other women. Heavy makeup and just right is the best portrayal, pure and mature, Girls and women are perfectly combined.

Therefore, while staring blankly at the girl, Jordan was completely unaware that the girl was walking towards him, and almost bumped into each other, but the wine in the wine glass spilled a tray!When he came to his senses, he apologized repeatedly, and the girl not only did not embarrass him, but comforted him a few words, which made Jordan heave a sigh of relief, and several colleagues made the same mistake, so even if they would be blamed by the foreman, don't worry about being too embarrassing.

However, Jordan was very puzzled. He knew the girl. He was a famous genius girl. He had seen her movies and heard her songs. He liked her but was not crazy about her. But she had never been as beautiful as she is today. It's not that she wasn't beautiful before, but the perfection she showed today is unique!

This kind of thinking does not only exist in the heart of this little waiter, almost everyone present thinks so, the men are admiring and at the same time moving their own little thoughts, and the women are jealous and feel ashamed, of course, these are in good health His upbringing is covered up in his speech and behavior, and he rarely shows it.

Even so, Angela, who was surrounded by handsome young men like stars, could still feel something. It was really tiring to maintain her demeanor in such an atmosphere, and she suddenly regretted it. Why did you agree to Grandpa's request?Just say yes, why do you have to spend a long time carefully putting on makeup?Isn't it okay to dress up as usual?

These words can only be said in her heart, and she also knows that if grandpa speaks to her in person, it is impossible for her not to agree, because of her personality.Moreover, most of the participants in this reception are Jewish families, and a few are not, and they are also closely related like the godfather. Naturally, girls should dress up well.

This time, she has used ten percent of the skills taught by her mother and the skills she has learned in filming over the years. You must know that she has never dressed herself up in such a delicate way. So attentive.

Angela finally understood why women spent a lot of time dressing up. After she spent a few hours completely putting on her makeup, she couldn't help but feel a little dazed when she looked in the mirror.She never likes to wear heavy makeup, so she can always think about how to use the cosmetics properly, but it is precisely this point, which makes her unique beauty even more prominent. From the moment she got off the car, the eyes projected on her body were all the same. It hasn't been broken, and the girl can only smile wryly at this.

"In comparison, I prefer those movie characters that can leave a deep impression on people. Some movies may be mediocre in content, but an excellent actor can make the whole movie look lively," said a person beside him holding a wine glass The young man talked with a smile, "The story of "Roman Holiday" is not brilliant, but Audrey Hepburn's innocence made it leave a big mark in the history of movies!"

"But such movies are too rare after all, isn't it, Mr. Nick?" Angela took the topic politely, "I don't deny that a good actor can make a movie better, but if the script is too bad, it will affect to the performance of the actors—I agree with what Mr. Bruce said just now."

"I forgot, your script writing is better than your acting in movies." The young man named Nick showed a dazed expression, "Of course, I still stick to my opinion."

"I don't object either, but movies with excellent script and actors are more memorable. However, such movies are very rare." The girl sighed and shook her head slightly. This action gave her an indescribable charm .

"Are you still talking about movies? How about changing the subject?" A female voice came from the side.A brunette girl appeared next to Nick. It was Nick's sister, Carol, who had been introduced before, but she left after a few words.

"For example—by the way, Ben, I heard that you started helping your father with business matters last week?" Carol guided the topic skillfully, looking at a tall and straight young man with brown eyes, "I'm planning to Do some independent investment projects, maybe you can give me some advice?"

She doesn't seem to have any special meaning, but she always raises her chin slightly, she is obviously a strong person, and thinking about how many women have jealous eyes, so there is no need to guess what Angela is going to do .

The girl didn't care. A truly educated person who can attend such a reception will not be confused about the occasion.Maybe they can't help but embarrass people they don't like a little bit, but they will definitely not let people down!Of course, in the eyes of those who tell each other loudly if they don't like it, or even fight if they get angry, this is hypocritical, but also in the eyes of these people, why doesn't that way seem impulsive and reckless?

Well, let's not talk about this, anyway, Angela has made up her mind, I will not accept your move.

"So, Miss Angela, what do you think?" Sure enough, after talking about stocks, Carol turned to look at her.

"I don't think I'll express my opinion anymore. I'm not very familiar with business matters, and my energy is spent elsewhere." Angela said with a smile.

"How come?" Caro's surprise didn't seem to be feigned, "Your investment in Pixar is well-known. I believe that none of us are more discerning than you."

Why does this sound like provocation?Angela raised her eyebrows, but she didn't say much, but spread her hands sincerely: "Investing in Pixar is more a recognition of their spirit of never giving up. I believe that with their persistence, they will definitely It was successful, as for commercial factors, I really didn’t think too much about it. In fact, I spent a lot of effort on the copywriting in order to convince my father, but I still had to rely on a little relationship to pass it.”

After the men around her showed thoughtful eyes, the girl suddenly realized what she had forgotten. Although her business is not her field, she also admitted this in an interview with "Fortune" last year, but these are basically Will people who meet for the first time believe it?To put it in layman's terms, who knows if you want to pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger? !

"Although I also have a lot of investments, they are all handled by a dedicated team of accountants. At most I just look at the financial statements and the like - including Pixar - and ask them to write as simple as possible, otherwise I will I don't understand." Angela's self-deprecating statement was met with good-natured laughter from the men around her.

"It's not surprising. No one can win the Nobel Prize in Physics immediately after winning the Oscar for Best Actor. Ms. Angela has her own field of expertise, doesn't she?" the young man named Ben said at this time.

"That's really a pity. I hoped to get your opinion." Although Carol said so, there was a flash of nothing but that in her eyes.

Angela saw it, and originally planned to ignore it, but after thinking about it, she said, "But speaking of stocks, I'm planning to make an independent investment recently."

"What is it?" Someone suddenly became interested.

"It is said that Apple may acquire NeXT. If they do, I think I will buy Apple's stock! After Steve returns as CEO." The girl said with a smile.

"So, Ms. Angela is very optimistic about Mr. Steve? Even if Apple is in such a state of embarrassment, as long as he takes office, it will change? You must know that he was kicked out by Apple." Caro frowned slightly, looking matter-of-fact. look like.

"Although I don't have much time at Pixar, our relationship with Mr. Steve's family is quite good, so I think I still have a certain right to speak," Angela said leisurely, "If a person is in If he falls twice in the same place, then he will not achieve remarkable achievements!"

After thinking for a few seconds, the men around were about to continue asking questions, when a voice that made Angela happy: "I'm very sorry, everyone, I want to talk to my goddaughter, is that okay?"

"It looks like I'm going to be absent for a while." Resisting the desire to leave, Angela walked to Brian's side after they all greeted each other.

After the two walked into the corner, the girl finally breathed a sigh of relief: "God, if you don't come here again, I'm going to find you."

"Before that, let's think about what to do later," the godfather laughed. "You know, this is the second time I've been looking for you. You can't use this method for the third time."

"Well, maybe I can say that I have diarrhea or something, and then hide in the bathroom until the reception is over." Angela spread her hands helplessly.

"Hey, should you keep your voice down, a lady shouldn't say that." Brian deliberately made a booing gesture, then put away his smile and stared at her: "To be honest, you are really, really beautiful tonight, Let many people be eclipsed, but also... many people are tempted!"

"This... Don't worry, I won't spend hours every day putting on makeup." The girl said with a haha.

"You know, there are not many girls who are so beautiful, beautiful, intelligent and temperamental, and—" the godfather pointed to the small circle of those people just now, "you see, they are at least 6 or 7 years older than you, how many years old are you? One is considered outstanding, but which one has your worth? If I have a son, I will encourage him to pursue you, so——do you still think your decision is correct? "

The girl tilted her head and thought for a long time, then said seriously: "You mean you are married and have a son as old as me, is that true, godfather? This news is really surprising, how did you hide it?" Who else has my father? I have to remind you that if I marry your son, it is also incest in a way?"

Brian rolled his eyes again and again, and finally had to raise his hand: "Okay, okay, I won't tell you anymore, I have something to discuss with others, so you'd better think about it first and wait a while before someone clings to you again." What are you going to do now!"

After the figure of the godfather walked into the crowd, Angela curled her lips. This was Grandpa's request, but... such things as family marriage should only exist in legends and history, right?

Shaking her head, she glanced around, making sure that no one had noticed her alone, Angela hurriedly walked to the balcony against the wall, the evening breeze that blew gently made the girl shiver slightly, and it was actually a bit chilly .

Putting her hands on the balcony, looking at the brightly lit Manhattan block from the high-rise buildings, Angela was a little lost in thought, wondering what Nat was doing at home now, even if she was making things difficult for her while sitting at the table together, or doing something inexplicable The psychological test is better than the boring daze now.

"It's really boring, but this is a social occasion, even if you don't want to, you still have to participate." The voice came from behind, which surprised Angela slightly, didn't she say it?Turning his head around, standing behind him was a young man in his early twenties, with chestnut hair, gray blue eyes, facial features like Michelangelo's David sculpture, very handsome.

"I used to be like this too, but I always have to get used to it. This is an indispensable thing in our life." The other party shrugged, facing the girl's slightly surprised gaze, he hurriedly introduced himself: "I am..."

"Jonathan Vogel, I introduced it at the beginning, I remember." The girl smiled slightly.

"It's an honor for you to remember, I will be envied by many people." Jonathan said jokingly.

"Me too, isn't it?" As soon as Angela said this, both of them laughed.

The reason why I remember this person is because he gives her a different feeling from others!No matter how well those people hide it, shaking hands will give girls goose bumps. Even if it is not strong, Angela still feels very uncomfortable, especially when she shakes hands with middle-aged people who are about the same age as her godfather. It felt even worse.

But among the young people, only Jonathan in front of him didn't give the girl this feeling, so the girl remembered him.

Although it was very strange why he would come to her at this time, Angela still started talking to him, without him, just because there was only appreciation in his eyes, and there was nothing else at all, which made the girl's previous good impression Bonus points again.

"Well, I'm sorry, I'm glad to chat with you." After a waiter found her, Angela said goodbye to the only man at the reception who had a good impression.

"Me too." The other party nodded with a smile, hesitation flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stopped her: "Miss Angela!"

"What's the matter?" The girl looked back at him, Jonathan frowned as if he wanted to say something, his well-defined face was cloudy and uncertain, and it seemed difficult to make a decision, but when his and her eyes met, only Neng smiled wryly: "I just want to say, it's a pleasure chatting with you."

"Me too." Angela nodded and turned to leave. At the same time, she felt a little strange. He seemed to have serious concerns, and there was always a feeling that he was very similar to himself in some aspects. What could it be?
