143 The Moth to the Flame
Lance raised his eyebrows slightly, and he remembered Gwyneth's expression that was avoidable at the funeral last year, but today he came to the door. This was really interesting. However, at least she did not show off a gift expression "My performance is your honor" and pretended.
This is a progress.
Lance's mouth showed a gentleman but alienated smile and looked at Gwyneth politely, "So, you haven't heard my answer just now?" He minded the cooperation between the two.
Although Lance is so humble and polite, the ridicule in his words is like a needle hiding in his mouth, which makes Gwyneth extremely embarrassed, so she is a little angry. She can't believe that Lance will treat her like this. Because she is too surprised and angry, she doesn't know what to say to refute. Then Lance continued, "And, my work has found the heroine. Believe me, you won't want to star in the work of me, the new director."
Gwyneth felt humiliation from Lance's calm eyes again, and she gritted her teeth, "You will regret it! You must know, I am a very... very excellent actress! You will regret it!" After saying that, Gwyneth clenched her fists, as if she was thinking about how to curse Lance, but after thinking about it carefully, taking into account her image issues, she swallowed all her words, turned around, raised her arrogant chin, straightened her back, and left with great strides.
Jessica looked at Gwyneth's long back in surprise - although Gwyneth's works in recent years have not had much influence, a "Shapes' Love History" is enough to make people remember her, not to mention the "Seven Deadly Sins" that have been recorded in history. Jessica did not expect that Lance actually rejected Gwyneth so directly and simply. The absolute strength in the understatement made Gwyneth unable to refute. She didn't know what history there was between the two people, but what she could be sure of was that the dangerous aura of men was getting stronger and stronger.?? Want to read??????????
Jessica subconsciously wanted to turn around and run away, but her mind was constantly struggling, but her body did not move. The manly aura, which was like mist, surrounded her firmly and could not move at all.
At this moment, the man turned around and loosened his right hand on her waist. The strong breath dissipated a little in the wind, which made Jessica a little panicked. She just wanted to walk forward and approach the hot fire source in front of her. The man seemed to have noticed her intention and walked forward on his own initiative. The hot body temperature shocked Jessica, she raised her head suddenly, and then saw the man's sharp side face slowly pressing towards him.
She couldn't help but hold her breath. The man finally stopped in her ear and said softly. The cold, hot, depressing but boiling sound touched every muscle in her body, making her feel like a marionette in a man's hand, completely losing the initiative. However, she was addicted to it.
Immediately afterwards, the man pulled away from his body without any stop, and his figure soon disappeared into the shadow of the building behind him. Only Jessica stood blankly, unable to move.
"...Jessica, Jessica..." The voice went from far to near, like a shout from an alien, pulled Jessica back to reality from a high altitude. She looked up and saw James standing in front of him with a curious look on his face, "Jessica, what did you give birth just now? Is it hopeful that you will play the 'day acquired' again?"
Jessica looked at the excited light in James's pupils, and didn't know whether he should be sure or not. "Uh, I don't know... Lance didn't say anything to me just now." Jessica swallowed the words that rushed to her mouth and decided to hide the secret. "He just rejected Gwyneth, yes, that's all."
"Reject Gwyneth?" James was stunned for a moment, and then his head started to run quickly.?W Book·1ka?n
However, Jessica did not hear James's words later, because there was only one sentence in her mind, "Western District Hotel, Room 1121 tonight." This was the last sentence Lance said in her ear, and she murmured softly, like a nail, and it stuck hard in her mind, constantly circling, and then circling again.
What does this mean? Is this an invitation? Or a simple audition invitation? Why did Lance say this to himself? What does this mean? Why did he look down on the audition room a few minutes ago and now he is going to invite him again? What's going on with Gwyneth? Should she go to the appointment? Or should she ignore it?
Jessica's mind was lingered with countless thoughts, which made her feel like she was being scorched on a fire. The toss and turns made her unable to think for the whole day, and she seemed absent-minded. The struggle between going to the appointment and rejection was always repeated. The last second she was determined to ignore Lance's invitation, but the next second she began to regret it again; in this second she was still looking forward to the date tonight, and in that second she kept warning herself about the fatal danger of that man... This feeling of worrying about gains and losses made her almost not recognize herself.
But, at the end, she appeared in the hotel.
Looking at herself in the elevator mirror, she wore a dark blue lady's short skirt, wide shoulder straps and ruffles, which gave the skirt a hint of retro flavor from the 1980s; a long golden long drooping drooped down, setting off her delicate and gorgeous face like a proud blooming rose... Jessica couldn't help but cover her cheeks, looking at the spring light in her eyes in disbelief. The slightly flushed blush on her cheeks revealed her expectations at the moment. She looked down at her skirt hem, pulled the shoulder straps in a little annoyed. The skirt she chose after two hours was so mediocre... Why did she choose this skirt?
This dark blue color is the color of the shirt Lance in the morning.
Looking at the hem of the skirt, Jessica suddenly became stunned, lost in confusion, at a loss, and at a loss. At the end of her struggle, she finally understood: she wanted to go to the appointment, which was the case from the beginning, she wanted to go to the appointment. Even though her reason told her that this was a mistake, even if her reason was calling for the man that was so dangerous, even if her reason made her turn around and leave immediately... but she still wanted to go to the appointment, as firm as ever.
It was like a moth to the flame. Even though she knew that the flame would burn her vitality, she still wanted to pounce on it, enthusiastically opening her arms to embrace the deadly danger. The stimulation and determination of dancing on the tip of the knife grabbed Jessica's heart almost made her breathless.
With a crisp "ding" sound, the elevator reached the 11th floor, which made Jessica withdraw her thoughts. She turned around and walked out of the elevator. The pair of denim blue slim high heels took a step forward, and became more and more determined. When she reached the door of room number "1121", all her mixed emotions had settled down. She let out a long breath, and she raised her right hand and knocked on the door.
The sound of knocking seemed a little dull in the quiet corridor and received no response, but Jessica did not feel any nervous, but just stood quietly. This may be the first time she has been so calm in the past six months, and she even had some expectations. After a while, a hoarse voice came from inside, "The door is not locked."
Without any hesitation, Jessica opened the door of the room directly, walked in quickly, and then closed the door of the room again. The anxious heartbeat sound was almost rushing to her throat, which made Jessica unable to help but grab the hem of her skirt, and the sweat on her palms seemed a little slippery.
The room was pitch black and there was almost nothing to see. There was just a faint yellow light at the end, trying to support the darkness. However, the darkness in all directions was so heavy and so thick. The dark night that could not see the fingers was pressing heavily on the light, making the light look so fragile, as if it would be broken at any time and then completely swallowed.
Next to the faint halo, a figure could be vaguely outlined. The faint light and shadow could not be seen clearly, and only a rough outline could be seen. The outline was so silent, as if the world was still, the lines of the tough shoulders were softened, outlining a little loneliness and fragility. Under the heavy pressure of darkness, Jessica's heart suddenly stopped beating at this moment. Almost before she could react, her eyes were blurred by tears, and then she stood there stupidly, fearing that her rash actions would hurt the figure in front of her.
Even without any credentials, Jessica just recognized it, it was Lance.
The figure raised his right hand, waved, and then fell down again and picked up the cup of whiskey under the desk lamp, shaking it gently twice. The amber liquid outlined the slender fingertips, faintly oozing out a sense of loneliness and fatigue. Jessica took a step, one step, another, as light as a butterfly, trying to avoid his movements breaking the tranquility in the room.
She could feel that Lance was right in front of her, so close, but so far, so close, but far away from the world. The complex contradiction was overwhelmed in the night, as if she just needed to breathe gently, and the vague figure would completely disappear into the darkness.
Jessica stopped her steps carefully, and five steps away from Lance. She clenched her fist and stood firmly, but the rapid beating of her heart still made her body tremble. Jessica bit her lower lip to avoid her panic breaking the balance at this moment.
"You are here." The man's voice was like a wisp of blue smoke, dizzying in the darkness, with a hint of fatigue in the hoarseness, "Do you know what this means?" The man paused, but Jessica still didn't speak, just silent, clenched her fist tightly, and then he heard a chuckling from the corner of the man's mouth, illuminating the night with a "sneer", like a match passing by, illuminating the night, "This means that we can continue the transaction that was not completed at the audition site this morning."
