312 Prickly Rose
Kayla looked at Lance who was calm in front of her. The casual jokes she could always easily tease her sensitive nerves. While gritting her teeth hatefully, she couldn't help laughing. Such mixed emotions made it really difficult for her to calm down. "So you also dislike my measurement curve?"
"Also," Kaila obviously put Lance and the group of reporters on the same front. All the men were visual animals, knocking over a boat of people in one fell swoop.
Lance raised his gaze and blinked gently in his eyes, "I have no say." With this sentence, Lance raised his hands and surrendered.
However, the spread of hands seemed to be measuring with the palms... After realizing this metaphor, Kaira's pretty face turned red and she was defeated in a rare sight. She clenched her fist in annoyance, almost unable to raise her head - in the several meetings between the two, Kaira had never really surrendered.
Fortunately, at this time, the waiter rescued the embarrassed Kaila. He came over with the red wine and politely showed the red wine trademark and bottle to Lance and Kaila. After confirming that the packaging was complete, he opened the wine plug next to him, and then asked the two people about their intentions, poured a small cup for Lance to taste.
Lance shook his glass gently, observed carefully from the aroma to the color, and then took a small sip, feeling the fermentation of grapes and the fusion of the fermentation of the grapes on their tongues, then nodded to the waiter and signaled that they would ask for the bottle of wine. After pouring wine for the two people's cups, the waiter retreated.
This short five minutes made Kaira's mood slowly settle, and the redness on her face gradually faded. Looking at Reims bathed in the light quietly, the soft light seemed to be the focus of Renaissance painters. She slowly and delicately outlined the outline of the facial features, and finally the whole face was lit up by those crystal clear eyes, and the glory was thrilling in an instant.
At this time, Kaila realized that this was the first time since they met that they had truly sat down face to face. There was no tension confrontation, no collision of lightning and flashes. There was no fleeting contact, the two of them really sat down and looked at each other face to face. Enjoy a period of time that belonged to each other.
This idea made Kaila a little panicked, but she was more excited and pulled her drooping hair behind her ears, "So. Have you changed your hairstyle. Inspired by David Beckham?" David once left a long round inch around 2001, which made him feel like a bad boy's toughness and unruly temperament.
Lance frowned slightly in the middle, then stretched out, and the smile in his eyes slowly dizzed, "Are you suggesting that I changed my hairstyle for tonight's date?" Kayla's famous work is "I love Beckham".
Kaila obviously did not expect such an answer, but she just paused. Then the smile on the corner of her mouth bloomed, "Why? I'm not worth it?" The confident look shining brightly in her eyes.
"As a gentleman, I should nod and admit such speculation." Lance pursed his lips, with a hint of sly smile. "But as a man, I should say that I am not a supporter of feminism."
"Ahh!" Kaira showed a sudden realization expression, raised her chin, blinked her right eye, "Chaovinism."
"No one stipulates that chauvinism only applies to men." Lance's counterattack was concise and clear, which implies that Keira was also chauvinism - an over-representation of feminism.
However, Kaila was not showing any weakness and gently bit her lower lip, "Conquest is originally an eternal theme in the relationship between the opposite sex." Kaila's words became even more direct. She was obviously saying that Lance was trying to conquer her, and she also tried to conquer Lance. Her bare and powerful performance really made ordinary people unable to withstand it.
Fortunately, Lance was not an ordinary person. He still said calmly, "Isn't it the eternal theme of all relationships?" After that, Lance paused for a moment, then blinked his right eye. The cunning light had countless explanations, allowing Kaira's brain to start thinking about it. Then, Lance picked up the red wine glass and slowly tasted it.
Kaila slowly loosened her lips, her white teeth gently bit the tip of her tongue, watching the bright red wine slide across Lance's lips, dyeing a layer of seductive color, making her mouth dry, "So, you haven't answered me yet, why did you suddenly remember to change your hairstyle?"
"I thought this topic was no longer important." Lance's teasing made Kaira's right hand under the table clench her fists again, "It's nothing, I changed my hairstyle for a new work. Why, has this hairstyle been distracting you?"
Kayla would never admit that she was numb under Lance's eyes, and her brain was running much slower than usual, and she almost had nothing to say. At this time, Kayla finally caught a topic, "New work? Why didn't I hear any news?" Kayla looked at Lance again, "But why did the director change his hairstyle?"
"I played a cameo in it." Lance took it over easily, "It's just a low-cost work, and there was no formal opening ceremony, so it didn't attract much attention. What about you, what new updates have you recently?"
Kaila didn't think much about it, because the recent news about "killing with a knife" was almost invisible, so she took it for granted that Lance was telling the truth, "What else can I do, a mess?" The box office defeat of "King Arthur" was like a mountain, pressing hard on her shoulders.
This is a situation that everyone must experience after entering Hollywood. Whether it is a newcomer who becomes famous overnight or a backbone actor who has accumulated strength, they must face heavy box office pressure after appearing in commercial movies. This is also the inevitable consequence of popularity, attention, focus, and pay. The 20 million club represented by Tom Cruise seems to be incredible on the surface, but behind the 20 million pay is the box office pressure that is breathless.
So Brad Pitt put all his hopes on "Troy", so George Clooney changed his position and devoted himself to screenwriter and director, so Leonardo DiCaprio was determined to cooperate with Martin Scorsis to fight for the Oscars...
Keira almost emerged as a comet last year. She successfully entered the Hollywood ranks in less than a year, and her rise was even faster than Lance. Therefore, the box office defeat of "King Arthur" made her fall heavily. Although she would not be able to recover or fall quickly, she was indeed bleeding.
"I thought you were comfortable with it." Lance said with a smile, but Keira always felt that Lance was hinting at the previous reporter's confrontation, "However, this is a difficult problem that every Hollywood person must face, isn't it?"
Kayla didn't expect Lance to say this. She couldn't help but stare at Lance, and the smile on the corner of her mouth actually revealed a warmth. Kayla nodded slightly, "Yes, that's true." Compared to her, Jerry Brookheimer is facing more pressure now, and even triggered internal debates at Disney.
Thinking of this, the smile on the corner of Kaira's mouth really relaxed. She lowered her eyes and avoided Lance's gaze, but couldn't help but raise her eyes and looked at Lance carefully, "So, are you so gentle and considerate now? Are you invited me upstairs after dinner?"
Upstairs is the Montage Hotel, the first green five-star hotel in Los Angeles.
Kaira's sudden attack caught Lance off guard. His mind paused for a half-second, and then he couldn't help but chuckled. It was indeed a thorny rose. The softness of the moment just now was just an illusion. "If I say yes, what about your answer?"
Kaira raised her eyes gently, leaned back, and said proudly, "I will say 'no'." Then she picked up the wine glass, shook it twice, put it next to her mouth and took a big sip, "I will invite you upstairs after dinner." The same invitation was very different because of the control of initiative.
The smile on the corner of Lance's mouth slowly calmed down, "Aren't you curious about my answer?"
"Man, tell me, you invite me to dinner." Kaila paused for a moment on the word "dinner". In Western culture, dinner is a very solemn invitation. Usually they don't eat in high-end Western restaurants every day. Maybe it's just a simple solution to pizza, sandwich or Chinese food, but a formal dinner invitation means a date, careful self-care, decent dressing, and a formal high-end restaurant... This is a very formal event, "and then you tell me, you don't have any arrangements after dinner? This will make me doubt your orientation."
Lance shook his head, "I don't think orientation can be called a 'problem'." A sentence made Kaira's mind turn, "But, have you forgotten the first question after the drink?" Kaira paused and recalled carefully, but couldn't remember what the problem was. "Tonight, there were many paparazzi ambushing at the hotel door. Don't you mind they took photos of us who left the next day?"
Kaila laughed dryly, "It's very interesting." Obviously, she didn't believe Lance's words, which made Lance a little helpless. To be honest, no one believed him. "You push and stop four things like this will really make me feel unnecessary suspicious." As she spoke, Kaila widened her eyes and cast her eyes towards the bottom of the table, as if she could see some secrets.
Lance had no intention of spending the night here tonight, because the concept of "Sin City" has not been sorted out. Today he must make full use of his time. The meeting with Kaila is just part of the deal. But now, Lance has changed his mind. Perhaps after going with the flow, the effect of things will be unexpected.
"Women, when you know that when you challenge a man's ability, it is often the ones who end up suffering in the end." Lance said meaningfully.
But Kaira was not timid at all. Instead, she raised her chin high and sneered from her nose, "Chaovinism."
It seems that a good show will be released tonight.
