A new day arrived, and the sun rose again in New York's steel jungle. One of the largest cities in the world quickly regained its vitality. The husband kissed his family goodbye and prepared to go to work. The children laughed and went to school, and the shops opened for business one after another. Although the weather was still a little cold, it was undoubtedly a good start. Of course, there were also bad beginnings. For example, there was a tragic scream in a small apartment on Seventh Avenue.
"Stop screaming, Yini. It's giving me a headache." Adriaan yawned and sat up, complaining in a relaxed tone.
Ivanka, who had woken up from the man's arms and screamed at the same time, finally came back to her senses. She hugged the blanket in front of her chest and looked at him with trembling lips. Her face was full of shock and disbelief.
"You … Why are you here?" she asked in horror, subconsciously avoiding some obvious facts.
"Why wouldn't I be here?" Adriaan shrugged. "Don't tell me you don't remember what happened last night at all."
Ivanka's face suddenly turned green and pale. If she only had a vague memory when she first woke up, after the slight headache caused by drinking too much disappeared, everything that happened last night quickly emerged in her mind, and it was especially clear. Especially when she dragged Adriaan to the dance floor to dance close to him after drinking too much, and later when she took off her clothes in front of him and teased him, she was ashamed.
“shit！ shit！ shit！” The girl covered her face and shouted a few times, then she choked. "God, I actually … slept with a man who could be my father … And … And …"
"Wait, wait!" Adriaan, who heard something wrong, immediately shouted, "I don't think the gap between me and you is that big, right? That's too exaggerated. I'm at least 20 years younger than your father. "
Ivanka did not say anything. She just raised her head and looked at him fiercely, as if she wanted to pounce on him and bite him a few times. But a few minutes later, she covered her face again in frustration.
"I have to admit, I was surprised last night, Yini," Adriaan said slowly.
"Don't call me that!" Ivanka suddenly screamed and interrupted him, then grabbed a pillow and threw it at Adriaan.
Adriaan didn't dodge. He sat there and let her hit him with the soft pillow. However, it was absolutely wrong to say that he was doing this to let the girl vent. Even though he only raised one arm to protect himself, he added fuel to the fire when Ivanka gasped, "Be careful, Yini. Usually, it hurts for a while after the first time."
"I said it! You're not allowed to call me that!! "Ivanka was even more furious, and the frequency at which she hit the pillow increased.
After all, the bed was soft. Plus, there was constant pain below. Because she used too much force, the girl immediately lost her balance and fell into Adriaan's arms, screaming. Misfortune never came alone. When she fell, she also waved her hands and grabbed the quilt that was wrapped around his waist. So, something happened to hit her face and then rubbed it a few times.
After seeing what it was, Ivanka let out another short cry. She bounced up regardless of the pain and shrunk to the corner to rub her face.
Adriaan looked down at the thing that was still held high after a night. He shook his head with a smile and reached out to hug the girl from behind. "Okay, Yini, calm down. You've screamed too much this morning."
"Don't touch me!" Ivanka screamed as she turned a deaf ear to him. She twisted her body and tried to break free from his arms.
Adriaan raised his eyebrows slightly and immediately pressed her down on the bed.
"Mmm … stop … mmm …"
"Help … you can't do this …"
"Ah … Ah … Stop … Stop …"
After three times, Ivanka finally softened under Adriaan's kisses and caresses. She tilted her head to the side and panted.
"You really make me love you so much." Adrian sighed in admiration as he toyed with her towering softness. He lowered his head and pressed a kiss to it.
The girl, who had calmed down a lot, glared at him fiercely. She suddenly pushed him away and got up to put on her clothes. "You're a bastard, Adriaan, a super bastard!"
"Thank you. A lot of people say that." Adriaan didn't seem to care at all.
"If I was a little curious about you before, then I completely hate you now!" Ivanka put on her clothes in a hurry. She took a deep breath and limped to the door. "I've been looking forward to having a beautiful, moving, memorable, and memorable first time. But you ruined everything! You're a villain! You're a beast! "
She pushed the door open and walked out. "I never want to see you again, Adriaan! Never, ever! "
"Hey, where are you going?" Adrian grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around his back as he followed her outside.
"What, you think it's not enough? You still want to press me to the bed? Like just now? And then do me again?! "Ivanka taunted him excitedly." Don't think that I really don't dare to do anything to you! If you dare to keep me here, I swear, I'll make you pay. Definitely! "
"But." Adriaan scratched his head awkwardly. "Isn't this your apartment?"
The room suddenly became silent. Ivanka stood there with her mouth wide open. Adriaan spread his hands innocently. After a while, the girl grabbed the back of the sofa and threw it at Adriaan like she did on the bed.
"Get out! Get out! Get out! "she shouted. The corners of her mouth twitched as if she would cry at any time.
"Okay, okay. I'll put on my clothes and leave." Adriaan said good-naturedly and turned back to the bedroom. Ivanka, who had barely controlled herself, stopped and stared angrily at the door without moving.
Soon, he put on his clothes and came out. "Then, I'll leave. Have a good rest. After today, you'll be much better."
"Get out!" The furious girl was about to pounce on him again, but Adriaan moved faster than her. He immediately grabbed her hands and pressed her against the wall.
"You know, Yini, you're much cuter now than you were before," he said with a smile. "You're no longer supercilious. You're more lively. I'm starting to like you."
Ivanka, who stared at him hatefully, was about to speak when her mouth was blocked. Unlike the teasing on the bed before, Adriaan's attack was very fierce. Although she gritted her teeth and wanted to resist, she was pried open in a few seconds. Their tongues quickly tangled together. Especially those hands, which brought about a series of electric currents and sparks, making every bit of last night clearly appear in her mind. The kind of pleasure and climax after the pain was deeply engraved in her body, making her unable to resist.
"That's it. Have a good rest." Adriaan did not follow up with another attack. He kissed Ivanka until she had no strength left and carried her to the sofa. "We'll meet again soon, Yini."
After he left for a long time, the girl finally woke up. Then, she knelt on the sofa and angrily punched the back of the sofa several times.
"Damn it!" She cursed in a low voice with a tone of unwillingness. Then, she thought of something and covered her lower abdomen with a change of expression. "Damn it, that bastard last night …"
Ivanka showed a look of panic and even horror. At the same time, there was a little confusion and helplessness. After a moment of nervousness, she breathed a sigh of relief. "It's going to be okay. It's just passed. It's still in the safe period. It's going to be okay …"
But when she thought of the bastard who took advantage of her, anger filled her chest again.
"I hate you, Adriaan! I hate you! I'm going to kill you! " Ivanka yelled and slammed her hands on the sofa. Then, she curled up and stared ahead in a daze. After a long time, she sighed.

"How is it? I specially arranged it. It's perfect for the two little guys to live here after they're born. " After Adriaan walked around the bright and spacious room, he said to the two women who followed him in. The room was decorated in colorful colors and was full of childlike fun. There were interesting things hanging above the two cribs.
"It looks like you're going to let us live together for a long time?" Sophie asked as she stroked the crib.
"It's obvious. I thought you already know him well enough, Sophie." Monica pressed her shoulder and chuckled.
"I'm not like you, Monica. You can tolerate everything about him." Sophie shrugged. Although she said that, she was extremely close to Monica.
"You're the same, Sophie." Adrian walked over and hugged them in his arms, one on the left and the other on the right.
"Are you sure?" Sophie stared at Adriaan. Monica covered her mouth and laughed without saying a word.
"Okay, let's go out and take a look." Adriaan immediately changed the topic. "If you have any questions, please ask as soon as possible. I'll get someone to deal with it immediately. You'll be here for a long time."
This was one of his villas in Orange County, one of his earliest properties. It wasn't big, but it was exquisite and had a beautiful view. Monica had been here before, and she had tried a threesome with Julia and Adrian for the first time. So, Adriaan arranged for them to live here for the next few months. After all, there were more paparazzi in Los Angeles. It was not easy to hide it completely. Even if they had to go public in the future, it was a matter for the future.
"I have a big production this year and may have to go to New Zealand for a few months. But I'll come to see you when I'm free," Adriaan said to Sophie and Monica in the living room.
However, the two women were obviously not listening to him. Instead, they were whispering to each other. Adriaan could not help but listen to them curiously. Then, he revealed an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
"Generally speaking, if he's very talkative at a certain time, and the topic ranges from room decoration to sex, and he compliments you without leaving any trace, then there's a high chance that he's hooked up with another woman outside. At this time, if he wants to go to your bed, you can kick him down without hesitation. He definitely won't be angry." Monica imparted her specious experience to Sophie.
Adriaan could only laugh and shake his head. He was indeed a little talkative today, but that had absolutely nothing to do with him just coming back from New York. One had to know that his original plan was to flirt with Ivanka for a period of time. As mentioned before, the more he tried to please a girl like her, the more she would despise him, especially when he had the title of a playboy. However, the more he ignored her, the more she would care. Although many women said that they disdained being pursued by playboys, when faced with such a situation, they would definitely be secretly delighted. After all, being pursued by a famous playboy proved that they had extraordinary charm. Only a fool would believe that "I don't need someone to prove my charm (talent)."
Now was not the best time to push Ivanka, but he did not expect the girl to have such a big reaction after accumulating so much dissatisfaction for so long. After drinking too much, she actually came to seduce and tease him without caring about anything else. Alcohol was indeed a good thing. Adriaan would never refuse a snack that was sent to his mouth, not to mention that he could obtain her virginity. Therefore, he took advantage of the situation to get Ivanka.
After the incident, the girl's reaction was also within his expectations. For a long time, she would be very resentful towards him. However, it did not matter. The more she hated him, the more she hated him, the more she would care about him, and the more she would not be able to escape from his grasp.
Adriaan, Sophie, and Monica stayed in Orange County for a night. As both of them were pregnant, although it was not obvious, they did not have sex. They just lay on the newly bought big bed and chatted until they fell asleep. Then, he returned to Los Angeles and began to deal with some matters.
Whether it was "Elizabeth", "Shakespeare in Love History", or "Good Will Hunting", they began to slowly gain popularity as he had expected. Among them, "Elizabeth" did slightly worse. Within a month of screening, the number of cinemas increased to 1,000, and it earned 11 million in North America. On the other hand, "Shakespeare in Love History" and "Good Will Hunting" earned 27 million and 20 million respectively under similar conditions.
After all, in the former, Shakespeare's name was more famous than Elizabeth's. In the latter, it was about Americans themselves, so it was more popular. However, compared to the cost, this kind of box office was enough. The investment for the three movies was not considered high. Moreover, during the production of "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love History", many of the sets, props, and costumes could be shared, which saved a lot of money.
According to professional estimates, the global box office of "Elizabeth" could be around 100 million, and "Good Will Hunting" around 200 million. This movie was very popular in North America, but not so good outside of North America. On the other hand, "Shakespeare in Love History", as a classic British comedy, was very likely to earn a total box office of 300 million.
Therefore, it was certain that the movies would make money, and the rest was how much they could earn. In addition, the reviews were good, and the three movies were more positive than negative. The acting skills of Blanchett, Gwyneth, Williams, Joaquin, and Natalie were also praised. Therefore, "Elizabeth" and "Shakespeare in Love History" were both nominated for the Golden Globes. "Good Will Hunting" was released a little later, so it did not make it.
"This is a good sign," Adriaan said to Blanchett and Gwyneth.
Although they were both nominated for the Best Actress Award, the Golden Globes had two categories in the Best Movie and Best Actress categories, namely drama and musical comedy. "Elizabeth" was a drama, while "Shakespeare in Love" was a comedy, so there was no conflict between them. In addition, the higher Adriaan stood, the less he cared about an award like the Golden Globes, which could be easily influenced. This attitude more or less influenced the women's views, so they did not take it to heart. The nomination list in a month's time was worth paying attention to.
But for now, it was better to focus on the present. Adriaan currently had a somewhat tricky but not too tricky matter to deal with.
"I need an explanation, Mike." Adriaan sat on the sofa, crossed his hands in front of him, and looked calmly at Michael Ovitz, who was pacing back and forth in the room.
"I've already said that this kind of poaching is very common. Agent companies often do this to each other." Ovitz spread his hands.
"But Andreessen Keller is one of the best agents in the company. If he did something unusual, you should have noticed it," Adriaan said unhurriedly.
"Yes, I know. But you should also know, Eide, that people are always careless, and they did it very well. If it wasn't for Raul from the Human Resources Department who found some clues, maybe we would have only found out when he resigned," Ovitz said defensively.
"Alright, Mike." Adriaan stood up. "You know, we invited you to be the company's CEO. We don't care how well you renovate the office, and we don't care how much money you spend, because we hope that you can manage this company well. In fact, you did a good job. You contributed to the rapid development of the agency in the past few years, but this can't be an excuse for you to shirk your responsibility! "
He walked to Ovitz with his hands behind his back. "Although Andreessen betrayed the company first, you are also responsible. Otherwise, you wouldn't want me to help solve this matter. But the problem is that I can solve it this time, but what if the same situation happens again? Do you still want me to solve it? Or do you want to tell me that the passion that you promised us to create glory has been used up? "
Ovitz was silent. After a while, he pinched the bridge of his nose. "Alright, I apologize. I did have some … I will take responsibility."
A smile appeared at the corner of Adriaan's mouth. He reached out and patted Ovitz's shoulder. "Don't be discouraged, Mike. I just want to tell you that Krau and I both admire and value you. As I said before, the company immediately developed rapidly after you took over. This is all thanks to you. We are just worried that you will be blinded by the current results. You must know that we still have a long way to go. "
"Of course I know." Ovitz laughed. He was already a lot more relaxed. "Don't worry about me. I have experienced more than you, Eide."
"Very good. Then, I will deal with this matter as soon as possible." Adriaan nodded.
"Oh?" Ovitz raised his eyebrows.
"This is a good opportunity, right?" Adriaan smiled.
