I’m in Hollywood

Stephanie Seymour did not expect that Eric would order the eviction so directly, with a somewhat resentful expression, but she sat up and suddenly remembered something in a blink of an eye, saying, By the way, Eric, there is a party at our house tonight. , I was going to invite Cindy, are you free?

Eric's mind was on Cindy at this time, and he nodded casually without thinking too much: Okay.

Then, at seven o'clock in the evening, Stephanie Seymour did not expect Eric to talk so well this time, with a happy expression on her face, and quickly added: Of course, you and Cindy can come over anytime.

After sending Stephanie Seymour away and returning to the sofa to sit down, Eric said, A woman who is not very smart, and is not satisfied.

Cindy took the position that Stephanie Seymour had just now leaned against Eric, and smiled: Don't men want women to be stupid?

I like smart women now. The smarter I am, the better.

Cindy rolled her eyes and said, I'm going to let her try to take my place.

America's Next Top Model?

Um.

Eric remembered the original America's Next Top Model and said, Why not let Tyra try, I think she should be better.

When choosing the host of America's Next Top Model and Project Runway, Eric considered the original Tyra Banks, but Tyra Banks was too young at the time and was not as popular. Later, it was so high that this position fell to Cindy.

I thought about it too, but she's black.

Eric nodded and immediately understood.

If the show's first host was black, maybe that's fine.

But suddenly changing the host from white to black at a time when popularity is booming adds too much risk. Although people of all kinds are happy in Hollywood movies and TV dramas, the problem of racial discrimination is definitely ingrained in this country.

In that case, it's up to you, I'll have a chat with Anne Sweeney tomorrow morning.

After Eric finished speaking, the two suddenly fell silent together.

After a while, Cindy whispered with some trepidation in her tone: Eric, do you feel embarrassed?

Eric hugged the woman, reached out to caress her belly, shook his head and said, No, it's just that I have another responsibility on my body. In fact, I always knew that I couldn't be a good father.

You've done a good job, Cindy felt relieved, leaned on Eric, and said, For Kevin, Xia Xia, and Emma, ​​I don't think anyone can do better than you. .

After hugging and cuddling for a while, Eric said again: However, as the mother of my child, you don't want to leave me easily in the future.

Haven't you been trying to get me and Linda together, it's been feeling pretty good lately. But, you have to be careful, Mr. Williams, I'm actually more insatiable than Fanny.

A smart woman can be greedy.

Ha ha.

There are already three little guys. Facing the little life in Cindy's womb, Eric is no longer as helpless as when Virginia and Joanna were pregnant. Cindy is indeed a smart woman, and she doesn't need any special advice from Eric. Both of them accepted this matter calmly and expectantly.

After enjoying the two-person world for an afternoon in Cindy's apartment, it was not until it was completely dark outside that I remembered that I had casually agreed to attend the party at Stephanie Seymour's house in the afternoon.

There was nothing to do at night anyway, so Eric and Cindy rushed over together.

Another mansion on the Upper East Side.

It was past seven-thirty, and Peter Brandt and Stephanie Seymour were entertaining the guests in the hall, but they couldn't concentrate on the guests at all.

Today's party is to celebrate the publication of Stephanie Seymour's own beauty book, which A-list supermodels often write for extra money.

Peter Brandt didn't care at all about it at first,

It was only because of his wife's insistence that he agreed to hold a small gathering at home.

However, when his wife came back in the afternoon and heard that Eric Williams would be coming to the party tonight, Peter Brandt immediately became enthusiastic.

Although Eric has already been listed as the richest man on the Forbes Rich List, in comparison, Eric's personal wealth and social influence at this time are completely different from those of a few years ago.

The super-rich with hundreds of billions of dollars, and a series of titles such as this media tycoon, being able to entertain such celebrities at home is definitely a very face-to-face thing for Peter Brandt. Even if you write an autobiography or memoir in the future, you can specially mention it. This kind of thing is not an exaggeration at all. In many biographies of celebrities, it is mentioned that their family has entertained those politicians and celebrities to show their status and extensive contacts.

Therefore, in order to make Eric Williams' visit more influential in his social circle, Peter Brandt immediately expanded the original small family gathering into a lively reception, Even some VIPs who were not sure about being able to attend on weekdays were temporarily invited. These people heard that Eric Williams would be here tonight, and they all agreed.

Then, the start time of the reception is seven o'clock in the evening.

Most of the guests arrived on time, but it was half past seven, and Eric Williams had yet to show up.

After entertaining a guest, Peter Brandt glanced at his watch again, it was nearly 7:40, he couldn't help pulling his wife, and asked in a low voice, Fanny, are you sure that Eric is today? Are you coming to the party?

If Eric doesn't come tonight, the Brandt family will lose their adults tonight.

Stephanie Seymour also knew the stakes, but didn't dare to make any more votes, her tone was a little hesitant, and said: I personally invited, and Williams agreed. Otherwise, wait another five minutes, if they haven't already. Come here, I'll call and ask.

Peter Brandt listened to his wife's flickering tone of evasion. He was so angry that he didn't give her any more time to delay. He said impatiently, Go call now, don't wait five minutes.

Stephanie Seymour paused, and was about to walk away to make a phone call. A waiter who was specially sent by Peter Brandt to the door appeared at the entrance of the hall and made a gesture to Peter Brandt.

Seeing the waiter's gesture, Peter Brandt finally let go of his heart, completely ignoring his wife next to him, and walked quickly to the gate.

Stephanie Seymour stood there for a while, but also reacted, and quickly followed.

The two came to the door, and Eric just pulled Cindy's little hand out of the car.

Good evening, Eric, I'm so glad you can come here, Peter Brandt showed no impatience on his face, and warmly reached out to Eric.

Eric shook hands with Peter Brandt and said, Sorry, Peter, Cindy and I are a little late.

It's okay, Peter Brandt shook his head quickly, hugged Cindy politely, and praised, Miss Crawford, you are so beautiful tonight.

Oh, thank you, Peter, Cindy said with a little grumbling in her smile, However, you called me by Eric's name, but called me Miss Crawford. Are you trying to alienate me?

Of course not, it's just a homage to a beautiful lady.

Hehe, you'd better call me Cindy, Cindy smiled, without snubbing Stephanie Seymour, who took the initiative to say hello: Oh, and Fanny, you look prettier than me tonight. Woolen cloth.

After greeting each other, the four entered the mansion of the Brandt family together.

The guests in the hall had already heard the news of Eric's arrival. Although everyone knew that Eric was a lot late, no one complained. Instead, they cheered up and thought about how to talk to the other party before they could stay. a good impression.

Speaking of it, Peter Brandt is also a self-made man. He relied on some friendship with Pop Art master Andy Warhol to grab the first pot of gold, and then with decades of business, he gradually built the current Brandt Media Group, mainly engaged in newspapers, magazines and other paper media.

Western party drinks are basically for expanding contacts, and Eric has been able to deal with it very skillfully over the years.

Introduced by Peter Brandt, we chatted with some of the guests, and then we all looked for interested people to chat with each other in groups of three or five.

Because of his fortune with Andy Warhol, Peter Brandt and the New York art world are very close, and many artists and art dealers appeared at the party tonight.

At this time, listening to the art dealer's words suggesting that he was selling some contemporary artists' works to himself, Eric listened with great interest, and when the other party finished speaking, he smiled and said, Tony, I actually prefer classicism. Paintings, especially by John William Waterhouse, if you can find them, feel free to contact my assistant's office.

The art dealer named Tony Roy did not show any strangeness at all. He nodded as usual and said, Mr. Williams, I will definitely pay attention.

After saying this, Tony Roy raised a toast to Eric with grace and turned to leave.

When the other party left, Cindy, who was holding Eric's arm, smiled and said, Eric, do you really like John William Waterhouse's paintings? I don't see any artwork you are interested in. interested.

Of course, Eric nodded and said, If you see this painter's work, you will definitely understand why I like it. However, John William Waterhouse's paintings are basically all in the UK. In museums. If there is a work out there, I don’t mind buying it at a high price.”

Cindy smiled knowingly: Then you were embarrassing people just now?

Having said that, Eric was about to eat something at the buffet table with Cindy. He just turned around and saw that the two of them were free, so a couple who came to say hello happened to meet them. Eric saw the one of the two couples. The lady was about to pour a glass of wine on Cindy, she quickly reached out to block it, and the glass of champagne splashed directly on the sleeve of Eric's shirt.

Oh, I'm so sorry, Mr. Williams.

This was purely an accident, Eric naturally wouldn't be angry, he shook his head and smiled and said it was okay.

Something went wrong here, and the Brants came over quickly.

It doesn't matter, Eric looked at the concerned expressions of everyone, wiped it with the tissue that Cindy handed over, and said to the Brant couple, Sorry, can you use your bathroom?

Of course, Peter Brandt nodded and told his wife, Fanny, take Eric to clean up.

Eric, come with me, Stephanie Seymour made a gesture of invitation and led Eric to the bathroom upstairs.

Walking to the sink, Eric washed his hands first, and was about to clean his cuffs, but found Stephanie Seymour standing at the bathroom door, not only did not intend to leave, but closed the door.

Eric smiled, looked at the little shrewdness in the woman's eyes, and said, Why, do you want to do something bad again?

Eric, Stephanie Seymour also showed some smiles and said, I suddenly understand why Cindy suddenly gave up her position as the host of America's Next Top Model.

Eric dipped in some water and cleaned his cuffs. Hearing the woman's smug tone, his eyes narrowed, his body exuding a dangerous aura, and he said lightly, Oh, why?

Stephanie Seymour keenly felt the emotional changes on Eric's body, leaned against the door panel, instinctively took a defensive posture, and said, Do you really want me to say it?

Eric wiped his hands, tapped his fingers on the marble table, and said, Come here.

Stephanie Seymour subconsciously took a step forward, but immediately stopped, and said forcefully, I can't go over, you're going to hit me again.

Eric shrugged indifferently: That's fine.

Seeing that Eric was about to leave, Stephanie Seymour paused and said after bargaining, You, if you don't hit me, I'll go over.

Come on, I won't hit you.

Stephanie Seymour hesitated for a while, then walked over slowly. As soon as she got to Eric's side, she was pressed and attached to the washstand.

You, you bastard, it's not worth talking.

Eric unceremoniously lifted up the woman's evening dress and said, I've always taken my word for it.

You, Stephanie Seymour followed Eric's rude movements, her body was completely soft on the washstand, her face was flushed, but her mouth was still unforgiving: There are many people waiting downstairs, you plan to five Come once a minute, what a useless man.

Eric said faintly: It's enough to change the way of stimulation.

Stephanie Seymour was stunned for a while. Seeing Eric pick up a box of hand cream on the washstand, she realized something and immediately struggled to stand up: Bastard, you can't do this.

A slap slapped again without hesitation. Stephanie Seymour's body softened, and her body collapsed again. Before she had time to breathe, her eyes suddenly widened, and a small piece of broken cloth was stuffed. Come over and stop the woman's whimper.

The next afternoon, after explaining the follow-up arrangements for America's Next Top Model to Anne Sweeney, president of the ae TV network, Eric boarded the plane back to Los Angeles.

Looking at the gradually receding Big Apple area outside the porthole, recalling what happened last night, Eric couldn't help shaking his head and smiling.

Mayer walked in with a plate of documents in his hand, just noticed the weird smile on the corner of Eric's mouth, looked suspiciously, put the folder down, and said, Eric, Nokia has a question about the Japanese company. The analysis report came out, and their BlackBerry phone is really good, but the company also has a lot of problems.
