Chapter 325 I Don't Like This Movie

After deciding on the heroine, he held a small meeting with the host of "Instinct" to finalize some scattered matters. It was past seven o'clock in the afternoon, and just as Eric was about to leave, he remembered that there was a woman in his office.

Eric pushed open the office door and walked in. The little woman who was sitting on the sofa and absentmindedly flipped through the magazine in front of her was startled. She was relieved when she saw that it was Eric.

All the lights in the office were turned on at this time, the wall lamp, the ceiling lamp, and even the lamp on Eric's desk was on.

"Why are you turning on so many lights?" Eric asked casually, walking to the desk.

"No...Nothing," Joanna Pakula hurriedly stepped forward, turned off the lamp on the desk, and turned off the wall lamp in three or two steps. The office suddenly became much darker.

Eric looked at Joanna Pakula's action of turning off the lights, and quickly understood that the reason why the girl turned on so many lights was a sign of insecurity. It might also be that she was afraid of loneliness and felt a little pity. Rick's tone also softened: "Sorry, Miss Pakula, for making you wait so late, but there are indeed many things to do."

Joanna Pakula shook her head: "It doesn't matter, anyway, I have nothing else to do."

"Otherwise, I won't go to your place tonight, right? It's too late now?" Eric said, the girl's performance just now was very insecure, which made him feel guilty as if he was taking advantage of others' danger sense.

"No...it's not too late, it's only after seven o'clock," Joanna Pakula said eagerly. Although she inevitably realized something in her heart, the girl instinctively didn't want to give up this opportunity.

She was fed up with the uncertain days that seemed to be suspended in the air, and the young man in front of her could obviously help her end it all. She didn't expect too much, she just wanted to settle down. It is no longer like before, she did not receive any role for three years at the longest, and she had to rely on part-time jobs everywhere to make a living.

"In that case. Let's go," Eric said without delaying.

Come to the parking lot. Eric did not drive his own car, but sat directly in the co-pilot of Joanna Pakula's car.

The girl looked at Eric who was wearing a seat belt, took a deep breath, and started the car.

"I didn't expect you to live in North Hollywood. My home used to be nearby, it should be north," Eric said after entering Joanna Pakula's small apartment.

speak up. The apartment originally in Beihaolailiang has been sold.

However, the mansion in Beverly Hills was not sold, but used as another residence. Although a property tax is generated every year, the property tax in North America can offset part of the personal income tax, so it is not too much.

Joanna Pakula said: "Actually, I just moved here not long ago. I used to live in the urban area, and I transferred a sum of money to film that movie last year. I just moved here."

Eric shrugged slightly and said nothing, obviously. The girl's previous situation was not very good. The urban area of ​​Los Angeles is not as prosperous as the city center of the country in the previous life. Instead, it is a very chaotic community. The best security in Los Angeles is of course Beverly Hills, the worst. It should be considered the downtown area.

"Mr. Williams, take a rest first, I'll make dinner soon," Joanna Pakula pointed to the small sofa in the living room. said.

"Well, just call me Eric." Eric casually took off his coat and hung it on the hanger in the hallway.

"Okay, Eric. My friends call me Joan," Joanna Pakula said, heading towards the kitchen.

Eric looked around at the small apartment. It looked like one room and one living room. Both the decoration and the furniture were quite simple. There was a sofa in the center of the living room. In front of the sofa was a small TV cabinet, and behind it was a wall There were a few pictures hanging on the wall at the small dining table. Eric leaned in and looked at it. Some of the pictures should be stage stills, and they should be Shakespeare's plays.

Joanna Pakula in the photo looks very young, and thinks that the girl once stayed at the Polish National Theatre. This should be a photo from that time. In calculation, these photos should be more than ten years ago, but in comparison, The current Joanna Pakula is not much different from more than ten years ago. Compared with Westerners who are very easy to age, the girl's appearance is to enjoy God's blessing.

After turning around, Eric walked over to the small TV and saw a video recorder under the TV cabinet, with a few boxes of video tapes next to it. Eric casually flipped through it and saw a video called "Kiss". The introduction of the movie is a horror movie. Half of the woman's face on the poster is treated as a skeleton, with thick red lips, and the woman who is busy in the kitchen cannot be seen at all.

Put the tape into the VCR, turn on the TV, and Eric sat back on the sofa.

The picture begins to part ways with a divorced family. The mother takes a daughter on a distant train, but in the car, the evil spirit in the mother attacks, but the alien species spreads to the daughter and then dies, and the girl sneaks out of the car. missing.

More than ten years later, the younger sister who grew up with her father has married and her daughter has grown up, but because she took off the cross that protects her body and handed it over to her daughter, her younger sister died in a sudden car accident. I went to my sister's cemetery, met my sister's husband and daughter...

After only watching it for half an hour, Eric had almost foreseen the result.

There was a slight sound behind her, and Joanna Pakula appeared in the living room at an unknown time, standing quietly behind Eric, staring blankly at the TV screen.

"I don't like this movie," Eric said, stepping forward and turning off the VCR and switching to a different TV channel.

The girl didn't answer, but the sadness in her eyes couldn't be concealed. If she had a choice, she would definitely not pick up such a movie.

"Eric, let's eat," the girl said after a moment of silence.

"Well, I'll help you," Eric got up, followed Joanna Pakula into the kitchen, and helped the girl bring a simple dinner to the table.

"I don't have any materials here, I can only do this," Joanna Pakula explained.

Eric put a small bowl of corn soup for himself, tasted it, and nodded in admiration: "Very good, I like it very much."

Joanna Pakula already regretted looking at the shabby dishes on the table. She had known that she would take Eric out to eat. In fact, it wouldn't cost too much. Although the man kept complimenting her, the She was still very unconfident and smiled reluctantly. (To be continued)
