Lance and Kate walked to the first floor calmly. Kate even took two cups of whiskey from the waiter and handed one to Lance. He noticed that Lance's burning eyes were locked on him, and the scorching gaze was almost about to penetrate her mask and see through her true face. This made Kate smile and interrupted Lance's gaze, "You only need to say thank you."

Obviously, Lance is considering how to speak, why did Kate suddenly appear? Why did he help him? Should Kate understand the situation in advance or what happened? Or, Kate also has a backup plan here? Lance will not easily express trust just because Kate helped him. This is a Vanity Fair, and a series of traps is not uncommon.

Kate is a smart person. She read some information from Lance's eyes. Although it was not much, it was enough. She didn't care at all. "I was about to go to the second floor to get my coat." Speaking of this, Kate looked around and then mysteriously approached Lance's ear, and said in a low voice, "In fact, I was looking for my cigarette." This sentence made the curve of the corner of Lance's mouth gently outline, and then Kate returned to its original state and continued, "I saw this scene unexpectedly. So, I just expressed my friendship and greeted me, that's all."

Lance didn't believe it. He believed in the cigarette part, but didn't believe in the second half. Lance frowned slightly, looked at Kate seriously, but found that she looked calm and comfortable, and she would not panic even when facing his sight. Either her acting skills were too good, or she had nothing to hide.

"Just just friendly?" Lance's gentle voice rose slightly, but he still maintained the gentlemanly manners. "Why did you choose to help me?" Just now, when Kate grabbed his arm with his right hand, he gave him a hint that if Kate knew nothing, it would be a lie.

Kate's soft lips slightly pursed, then drew a beautiful arc. The ethereal and retro elf of the elf queen made her look radiant. Her elegant chin gently raised, with a hint of inviolable arrogance. "You know, some things can be done, some things cannot be done, and everyone has their own bottom line. Once the bottom line is crossed, everything else will no longer matter." Kate's smile was so bright that it was inconsistent with the content of the words, but it made the deep meaning hidden in the words become more heavy. "I don't like men to use women, but I don't like women to use men." Kate blinked at Lance, "Many times, women are not as weak as people imagine, aren't they?"

People generally believe that women are always the weaker side in the workplace, and this is often the case. But truly smart women know how to take advantage of this advantage, which will put men in a situation where they cannot argue. Therefore, the so-called discrimination and injustice are also a weapon. The same is true for sympathy.

Lance's gaze paused on Kate. Kate met Lance's eyes without being humble and arrogant. The clear and transparent eyes were always filled with a faint confidence, and the powerful aura was not at all inferior even in front of Lance. The smile on the corner of Lance's mouth was outlined, and even a meticulous sound was overflowing, just like the green buds blooming in the spring breeze. Then Kate also chuckled lightly, without any concealment, revealing neat and white teeth, and a strong smile overflowed from the bottom of his eyes.

"So, I'm just passing by." Lance slightly withdrew his chin and asked again. This time, the smile at the corner of his mouth did not disappear.

"Just pass by." Kate nodded with his lips and gave a positive reply. "Are you sure you have time to chat now? If you are sure, I do want to talk to you about the potential future cooperation possibilities. I really like the style and temperament of this work with a knife."

Lance raised his eyebrows slightly. Kate was not only a smart woman, but also a bit too smart. He really didn't have time to chat now. Angelina had just cheated him for a while. Although he escaped in a thrilling manner and failed, this did not mean that he would swallow his anger. He had never had such a personality.

Kate read the appreciation in Lance's eyes immediately, then shook his head with a smile, "I'm married. Although he is arrogant and annoying, he belongs to me." The upright self-confidence was a little sharp, as if it was cold to keep people from thousands of miles away, and he didn't even want to hide his rejection.

But Lance not only wasn't angry, but also chuckled, "You made me feel ashamed." Such self-deprecating teasing made the smile on the corner of Kate's mouth bloom, as if the ice and snow melted, "I think I need to say goodbye first." Lance did not be polite or cover up. Although this was just the first official meeting between him and Kate, and the two of them didn't even introduce themselves, Lance skipped this link and turned around and prepared to leave.

After turning his steps, Lance remembered another very important thing. He turned around to face Kate, placed his right hand on the heart of his chest, bowed slightly with a retro knight's gift, stood up and greeted Kate's calm eyes, and whispered, "Thank you." After that, Lance never paused again and turned around and left.

Kate watched Lance leave with his back, raised his eyebrows slightly, and the thoughtfulness in his eyes gradually disappeared deeper.

Tonight, she heard about Lance from Leonardo and Martin, which is not surprising. After all, Lance is indeed the focus tonight, but the point is that both Leonardo and Martin praised Lance very well. Especially considering that Tom defeated Leonardo and won the Best Actor, this is even more commendable.

She was indeed passing by unexpectedly just now, obeying her inner intuition and extending a helping hand to Lance. Of course, she knew the possible consequences of her actions, but she didn't care. More importantly, she met Lance, and the rumored bastard didn't seem that bad.

Lance did not show any anxious attitude, but still kept his pace calmly, moving towards the outdoors, and inadvertently raised his head and glanced at the second floor. He and Kate walked down, and in less than two minutes, Angelina was no longer on the second floor, but Daris was still wandering on the second floor, as if waiting for someone, and seemed to be monitoring his every move.

After coming to the outdoors, Lance looked around and looked for his goal. This was a big party. It was not easy to find someone accurately in the party. After calming down, he sorted out his thoughts. Lance grabbed a waiter, whispered a few words, and then walked to the edge of the swimming pool to make his figure conspicuous.

The speed was indeed very fast. In a short while, Dorothlet's figure appeared in sight.

Dorothy captured the hint of Lance's sight and immediately walked towards the balcony next to the banquet hall on the first floor. However, he did not walk directly into the balcony, but stopped at the floor-to-ceiling curtains next to the balcony, so that it would not be too conspicuous in the noisy room. Lance's footsteps followed.

Lance looked up and down Dorothy. She wore a pink long mopping-spinning dress today, with a touch of sweetness in her playfulness. "You are beautiful tonight." Lance praised, which made Dorothy smile appear on her face, "You don't need to flatter me, I know you must have something urgent to come to me." Although she said that, Dorothy's eyes showed that she was in a good mood.

"Indeed, I need you to arrange someone to catch the rape on the second floor. It's better to be the editor of gossip magazine." After Lance said the words, Dorothy was stunned. "When did you have a date?" Lance paused and laughed in silence. "It's not me. It's Angelina Jolie. She is on the second floor now. It seems that a reporter is keeping watch, or that reporter is the partner of her affair. I need someone to witness this."

Lance speculated that no matter where Angelina disappeared, they were definitely preparing for the next plan or making adjustments. The most likely thing was that Angelina finds a new scapegoat and continues what had not been completed just now. Lance didn't care who was the scapegoat, but he couldn't let the story develop according to Angelina's version. He wanted her to know that some people can offend and some people can't.

Dorothy immediately heard the profound meaning in Lance's words, and her eyes turned, "Is this a personal grudge or a company matter?" Lance did not answer directly, but just raised an eyebrow. Dorothy immediately understood, obviously Angelina chose the wrong partner, "Are you planning to make a big deal about this?"

"No, don't make a big deal. It's better to hide it." Lance shook his head. After the big deal, it would not be beneficial to him, so he would not cause any trouble. "What I need is rumors in the circle. One is that Angelina and Brad have officially been together. The other is that Angelina has a questionable move with other men tonight." These rumors do not have direct lethality, but they also do not require evidence, but they are enough to prevent Angelina and Brad's follow-up plans from countless obstacles, and there is no source of news.

Dorothy's eyes widened. She had no idea that Angelina and Brad were officially together, and tonight they appeared on Oscar Night. With such an association, things suddenly had countless possibilities. It is conceivable that after rumors spread in the circle, the gossip fire will surely burn again. At the same time, Jennifer Aniston's team will definitely not give up. In the future, they will not need to push them at all. Things will naturally spread from the circle to the outside of the circle again, and you can sit and watch a good show without a soldier. This trick of killing people with a knife is indeed amazing.

"Editor." Dorothy immediately understood. Lance chose the editor of gossip magazine instead of a reporter, not an actor or director. It is obviously of profound meaning. To be continued.
