Chapter 211 Self-Defeating
Looking at Rupert Murdoch, who was not yet sixty years old, Eric's deepest impression of this media tycoon was undoubtedly from the eavesdropping scandal in his previous life. Perhaps because of the eavesdropping scandal, the media in their memory chose pictures of the other party's embarrassment, but Murdoch was in high spirits at this time, with a few hair neatly combed, wearing rimless glasses, and hanging at the corners of his mouth. Friendly smile.
When Eric looked at the other side, old Murdoch was also carefully examining the young man who was less than twenty years old. This process didn't last for a few seconds, and the two reached out their hands at the same time.
"Hello, Mr. Murdoch, I'm Eric Williams." Although the other party must have seen him in the photo, Eric introduced himself as a courtesy for the first meeting.
"Hello, Eric," Murdoch shook hands with Eric, then turned to Aniston: "This must be the beautiful Miss Jennifer Aniston, your performance in 'Friends' is really good fantastic."
It was the first time that someone had been praised like this in front of her boyfriend. Aniston showed a slightly shy expression, reached out and shook her hand: "Thank you, Mr. Murdoch."
As Eric and Aniston greeted Barry Diller, Sr. Murdoch gave his daughter a look.
Elizabeth looked at the intimate couple in front of her,
I can't help but feel a little tasteful. After discovering her own taste, Elizabeth became even more uncomfortable.
But soon, the girl found a reason for her emotions. She felt that she was holding grievance for Julia. On the plane a few days ago, she saw Eric comfortably pillowed on Julia with her own eyes. Sleep on your lap. After the guy woke up, Julia, whose legs were numb, sat on the sofa for a long time before recovering. Julia was so nice to him. But in the past few days back in Los Angeles, she has never seen this guy contact Julia, and now she is with another woman who kisses me and me. What an asshole.
"Hi Liz. You're so pretty today," Eric greeted Barry Diller before turning to Elizabeth.
"Hello, Mr. Williams," Elizabeth reached out and shook Eric lightly, as if trying to keep a distance. Immediately, the girl showed a bright smile and pulled Aniston beside Eric intimately: "Miss Aniston. Hello, my name is Elizabeth, wow, your dress is so beautiful, let's go, I'll bring You go in."
Elizabeth said, pulled Aniston on her own and walked in. The little girl glanced at Eric inquiringly. Although Eric felt that Elizabeth had some bad intentions, the other party would not specifically mention Anis Tony's dress. But on this occasion, Eric was sure that Elizabeth would not be too rude, so he nodded to Aniston. The little girl was dragged away obediently by Elizabeth.
The daughter's actions were completely opposite to what she had previously explained, which made old Murdoch a little angry, but helpless.
Although Murdoch is busy with his career, he does not pay much attention to his children because he is almost 60 years old. Although Westerners always refuse to accept old age, they must also consider successors for his media empire. Compared with the eldest daughter who has no intention of career and the two younger sons who are still very incompetent, Elizabeth is undoubtedly the best in ability, when the girl was in school. A small local cable TV station was successfully established. It's just that Elizabeth's character is both stubborn and proud, and she always likes to go against his father in many things.
I saw that my daughter greeted Eric in a flirtatious manner. Pulling the figure of the other party's girlfriend away, Murdoch had to say to Eric: "Sorry. Eric, Liz is still a little naive, let's go in."
"Of course it doesn't matter, Mr. Murdoch. In fact, I quite like Miss Elizabeth's straightforward character." Eric said politely, and the three walked towards the villa where the party was held.
About twenty guests have come to the villa, and as time goes by, more people come one after another. In addition to the cast and crew of "Friends", Fox invited a number of Hollywood stars to join in.
Although Murdoch has been dragged by Eric to get angry these days, it is impossible for Eric to take the other party to talk about things as soon as he arrives, so he chatted with Eric in the villa without looking for boundaries. Then, after instructing to enjoy the party, Murdoch and Barry Diller went to entertain other guests as if nothing had happened.
Eric just took time out, looked around in the crowd, and quickly found Aniston's figure, at the same time he couldn't help taking a breath. Elizabeth's little girl is definitely intentional. Look at the few girls who seem to be chatting and laughing around, Julia Robert, Brooke Shields, Gabriel, and even Nicole Kidman. .
Take a closer look, my God, and Drew, shouldn't Xiao Nizi be in boarding school?
Seeing this situation, Eric turned around without a trace, intending to stay far away, but Nicole, who was just facing him, grabbed the figure.
A moment later, a girl in a black pencil skirt and high heels appeared beside Eric, who was hiding in the crowd.
"Good evening, Eric," the girl approached Eric, less than thirty centimeters away from Eric, and gently raised the red wine in her hand. It is said that the intimate distance between people is within 45 cm, and more than 45 cm is a friendship at most. The girl will definitely not know this theory. The reason why she got so close to Eric is that she is completely self-taught. Sure enough, the girl's movements made several people around her involuntarily look at her and Eric more. few eyes.
Of course, Eric didn't know the theory about 45 cm, but he instinctively felt uncomfortable, took a small step back subconsciously, and asked, "Nicole, why are you here?"
Nicole noticed Eric's step back, showing a slightly resentful look, but did not dare to move forward, and explained, "I am also Australian."
Eric quickly pulled some memories from his memory about the Aussie Gang in Hollywood, which is said to be one of the most cohesive circles in Hollywood. However, it is still the late 1980s, and the Australian gang is definitely not yet there. Representatives of the Australian gang like Hugh Jackman, Russell Crowe, Cate Blanchett and Nicole are still unknown. So he can be sure that Nicole's presence here has nothing to do with her being Australian with the Murdochs.
Although the girl didn't tell the truth, Eric could still guess some things. He remembered that Gabriel could get along well in Hollywood by relying on his little rumors, but as a newcomer, he could get the role of the second female lead in a movie. . Then, with Nicole as the heroine of his next movie, plus the scheming and means of breaking Gabriel's streets, although there is no work in Hollywood, it is sure to be beautiful. .
To understand this, Eric didn't want to delve further. He didn't care how Nicole played tricks and tricks, as long as he knew the current affairs in front of him.
"Nicole, what... were you talking about?" Eric pointed to the place where the girls had just gathered.
The girl chuckled lightly, with a proper but not excessive teasing on her face: "Don't worry, Eric, no one discussed Miss Aniston's dress, we talked a little, um, about "Friends", this It's the theme of tonight. Also, it's you, the second lady of the Murdoch family pays a lot of attention to you."
After saying the last sentence, Nicole blinked narrowly.
Eric couldn't help drinking a sip of red wine to hide the embarrassment on his face, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No," Nicole shook her head, and then said softly with a charming tone: "But, you definitely won't be able to sleep in someone's bed tonight, Eric, why don't you go to my place?"
"You really have bad intentions," Eric squinted his eyes and glanced at the girl. Aniston usually has an ostrich mentality towards his scandalous scandals. So many women who have a close relationship with him appeared tonight. In front of her, Xiaoyi Niu must be very upset. If she dares to leave her to spend the night with other women at this time, she will wait for a storm.
"Really, am I that kind of bad woman in your heart?" Nicole glared at Eric dissatisfiedly. If it wasn't for the girl's flickering eyes, Eric would almost have thought that the other party was unintentional. Say that.
"Do me a favor, Nicole," Eric said after some thought.
Seeing the girl's look of interest, Eric continued: "Go and help me take good care of Jenny. Jenny is pure-hearted. You can definitely make her happy easily."
"Ah!" Nicole suddenly opened her eyes wide and protested, "I don't want it."
Eric glanced at the girl and said solemnly: "Don't refuse, and one more thing, be optimistic about Drew, don't let the two of them make trouble."
Whenever he thinks of the fight between two girls, Eric has lingering fears. The fight between the two girls has a certain degree of atavism. In layman's terms, he likes to scratch people with his small claws. It's miserable.
Nicole had stayed in Eric's villa for so long, and she knew Drew's surly and volatile character. That little girl was no worse than herself. When she got up, how could she stop her, thinking of these girls shaking her head again, with a bitter face and a faint plea: "This is too difficult, Eric."
Eric took a sip of the red wine casually, and said in a flat but unquestioning tone: "Come on, if the two of them get into trouble tonight, you won't have to play Sleepless in Seattle."
Nicole could hear that Eric was not joking, and sighed in her heart that I had provoked someone, but she didn't dare to linger any more, turned around and walked away quickly with her little leather shoes. (To be continued)
