Edward frowned and rubbed his eyes, his mind slowly returning to place, but one arm was still unconscious.
He wanted to carefully pull his arm out from under Josie's head, but as soon as he moved, Josie, who was lying in his arms, let out a murmur in confusion.
It turned out to be Chinese?
Edward was a little surprised, ruffled the broken hair on her forehead, and responded in the same language to himself: "Don't make a fuss? How do I think you only dream about my cat. "
Josie answered vaguely, and the hand under the quilt released his waist, rolled over and buried his face in the pillow, not afraid of being breathless.
Edward raised the corners of his mouth slightly, reached out and dug the person out, at least his breathing remained smooth.
The phone in the living room was still ringing, and he casually dressed and walked over to pick up the earpiece.
"Good morning, Edward, I hope I didn't disturb you?" On the other end of the phone came the familiar voice of his agent.
Edward laughed, glanced at the clock on the living room wall, and replied, "Happy Valentine's Day to you in advance, Jim, is there anything important?" "
"Ha, there's no festival in my business." Jim said, "Let's get back to business. You may not know that rumors between you and your golden girl have travelled from Brooklyn to West Hollywood, and luckily but unfortunately, someone intervened to suppress it. "
Edward paused and said, "Oh. But you know, I don't care about the reports or what other people think of me. "
"If you don't ask me, who is that?" Jim asked teasingly.
"Jim, I don't care about this." Edward glanced at the clock again, "You know, I'd rather believe what my eyes see than hearsay." "
"OK, it's me who talks a lot. But I must say, do you really know who she is going to meet when she flies back to Los Angeles from New York every week? "It sounds like Jim is quite indignant.
In fact, he was indeed indignant, but the reason for this was from Martha. Miller and CAA's strong style made the agent who thought he had signed a powerful and topical agent very unhappy, and he could have used the relationship to heat up his clients.
Edward shook his head, scoffed, and interrupted him, "Okay, Jim, that's it. We're just dating, not yet in the kind of relationship you think we are, and even I don't have the power to interfere with her freedom—and you can't. "
"Edward..."
"Also, I don't like your proposal last time." Edward interrupted Jim again, "I think you should have nothing else, so goodbye, Jim." "
He said and hung up the phone.
The gossip about Josie in the Hollywood tabloids has never been lacking, from her live-in close friend Brettney. Murphy, to actor Mark who has worked with him. Wahlberg, the director who brought her into the industry, Ernest . Dawson, and it's even likely that Leonardo will work with her on a new movie. DiCaprio.
As long as there is Josie. Horton's name will make this magazine a hot seller.
But so what?
No matter how credible these scandals are, only he slept next to her last night, and it could only be him.
As for how to make things his ideal state, he needs a detailed plan, which is only a rough idea at the moment.
Edward curved the corners of his mouth and walked into the kitchen.
Compared to the boring things, he felt that the war between the two men and women that had just begun was much more interesting.
How will he capture her heart?
She doesn't seem to lack anything, doesn't care much about anything, and is fortunate enough to favor her, and only focus on acting.
If it is an ordinary person, he can try to invade her life and occupy her space bit by bit, but the problem is that the professional characteristics of the actor doom two people to be together for a long time, and it is easy to break up a relationship that is not very solid.
True love is the only luxury in Hollywood.
What's more, there is far from "love" between them.
In any case, the most important thing in front of him is to achieve greater success in his career - this is really because he has not felt this lack of confidence for a long time, especially in front of the woman he likes.
Oh yes, Josie was supposed to be at the high school prom at the end of May, and the little gift he had prepared for her just came in handy.
I just don't know, she still lacks a dance partner.
Radiohead's FakePlasticTrees is playing in the room, the aroma of caramel and muffins is gradually filling, two shelled eggs are tumbling in the pan, carefully plated bananas are drizzled with tempting sugar liquid, and green avocados are neatly stacked aside.
Edward brought the cooked cat rice to Maggie, fished two boiled eggs out of the pot, stacked them on top of the muffin, and gently shook the snow-white dinner plate, shining through the light to see the tempting flow in the middle of the boiled eggs.
"It's perfect!" He muttered to himself, picked up the cherry tomatoes cut in half and put them on, only then did he show a satisfied smile.
In the bedroom.
Josie was still holding the quilt, and a small face that had not been applied fat powder was buried in more than half, making people wonder if she could maintain her smooth breathing, so that her cheeks and the tip of her nose were red, looking childish and insecure.
Edward couldn't bear to wake Josie up.
He held a posture, just sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her, and unconsciously smiled slightly, until Josie seemed to sense his gaze and rubbed her eyes and rolled over.
"Ed?" Her voice was also thick nasal.
"Good morning, my beauty." Edward let out a chuckle, he actually thought that the way she even rubbed her eyes was so sweet that it exploded, but it was so regrettable, all this was just the girl's deceptive appearance.
"What time is it?" Josie half-opened her eyes, and before she could wake up, she passively got a deep kiss, "I haven't brushed my teeth yet!" "
"Oh, I see. It's already a little, get up and eat something. Edward ended the kiss, but still did not leave, and kissed the corner of her mouth again.
"Edward. Norton! Josie, who had a seizure of hygiene, exclaimed.
She gave him a blank look, but the look was more like a charming and charming coquettish look than a white eye—she probably had no idea how seductive her wet eyes were.
It's really hard to control.
But Josie pushed Edward away absentmindedly while touching her phone from the end of the bed, and was extremely ruthless.
——The first thing to do when you get up is to check your phone, which is a common problem of modern people.
"Am I sleep-deprived and have dark circles?" The old-fashioned screen reflected her face, and Josie was talking to herself.
At this moment, the black and white screen that had been used for a long time and could not make her get used to suddenly lit up, showing that it belonged to her agent Kevin. Hauvian's number.
"Hi Kevin." Josie first looked calm, put on an Edward shirt and was about to go into the bathroom to wash, and then almost hit the door frame, "I was nominated for Best Supporting Actress?" Ahhhh, thank you for your blessings. "
After speaking, she ended the call, covered her head and walked out with some hindsight.
The phone in the living room also rang again.
As soon as Edward was about to pick it up, he heard Josie's slightly distressed voice behind him: "Ed, my agent just called me and said that I was nominated for an Oscar." "
He turned around, and Josie looked confused, and she even scratched her hair blankly.
"Really? It's fantastic. Edward was happy and proud of her, but asked a little amusedly, "But why don't you seem so happy?" "
Josie pouted, her brows furrowed, "The problem is, I didn't seriously publicize the best supporting actress this time, why was it nominated, it's too surprising, and my performance in "Life Sounds Because of You" is average. "
"Leave it alone!" Edward emphasized: "This is the Oscars – you got an Oscar nomination, shouldn't that be very happy anyway?" "
Without waiting for Josie to answer, Edward pulled her to the living room and turned on the live TV screen, glanced at it and turned to the entertainment news channel, where the female host was saying very exaggeratedly: "Wow, let's congratulate Josie, I believe everyone loves her starring "Leading the Scene", but I have to say that "Life Sounds Beautiful Because of You" is also a very good film..."
The living room phone was still ringing tirelessly, as if it was contagious, and so did Josie and Edward's mobile phones.
"Forget what I said before, Edward, you have an eye for choosing women! By the way, are you going to the Oscars together? Edward's agent, Jim, was so excited that the next second he heard his client answer with a particularly cold "Shut up, it's none of your business," and then hung up.
"Josie. Horton! Why are you in New York? "Martha on the other end of the phone. Miller was on the verge of going crazy, "Did you know you got an Oscar nomination?" "
"Actually, Kevin told me a few minutes ago." Josie spoke in a tone like a robot that had nothing to do with herself, and she couldn't resist scratching her hair - hell! Actually grabbed one?
"... Don't tell me you just woke up? Martha spoke suspiciously, as if she had caught her husband's wife fooling around.
"It's jet lag, take it easy." Josie wrapped the precious hair in a tissue and carefully threw it in the trash, "Tell me, what do I need to do now?" "
Martha said quickly: "The original dress doesn't work, the award presenters are treated differently from the nominees, and we have to redesign your red carpet look – hell, this is Eve's job, I'm just your agent – so who are you going to walk the red carpet with?" Forget it, you rush back to LA as soon as possible, I'll call Eve first! "
The beep hung up the phone there, but the next second the bell rang again, belonging to Marie. Finn's voice came clearly and distantly: "Josie, after repeated discussions, we agreed that you are the only one who is the most suitable for the heroine of "Titanic"..."
"Wait, Mary, you mean it?" Josie suddenly woke up, but the whole person still seemed to float in the air, and asked in a stack of voices: "It's James. Cameron's Titanic? Did I audition? I'm going to star in Rose? "
Marie. Finn chuckled and seemed to say to another person next to the phone, "Look, Jim, she really likes you and our movies." "Josie, it's true, I was going to call your agent, but Martha's phone just got busy, I'll call her later to communicate the contract details." Now, let's congratulate you on your Oscar nomination! "
"Thank you, thank you very much." Josie took a deep breath, "Please say hello to Mr. Cameron for me, I will definitely do my best to finish this movie." "
After ending this long-awaited phone call, Josie gradually felt a sense of reality, and an indescribable excitement was filling her body, as if she could help her take off at any time.
Josie struggled to open her big eyes and looked at Edward, who also put down his phone, "I got an Oscar nomination and also got Cameron's heroine!" "
To be honest, her first reaction was to play a prank, or some other intrigue or something.
- but no, it all happened for real.
There was still some disbelief on her face, her big eyes widened, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise, showing a bit of coquettish attitude that was rarely seen in ordinary days, only to really look like a girl who had just turned eighteen.
Edward looked very interesting, and couldn't help but take advantage of her before she came to her senses, hugged her waist, and helped her to spin around in mid-air a few times.
"How, is there any dizzy realism now?" He asked with a smile.
Josie let out a scream and fell into Edward's arms like a cheerful bird, holding his face as a disorganized kiss, and whispered in his ear: "Baby, you are my god of luck!" "
"God of luck?" Edward hugged her and accepted her kiss, but his expression was a little sad, "But you're about to abandon your god of luck and fly back into the arms of the god of movies, aren't you?" "
Josie then looked at him.
His eyes were half-truthful, and he seemed to be a little sad.
