Chapter 556

"Give me ten minutes, no, twenty minutes." After reminding the driver, Glover, Charlize tidied up her casual clothes and walked to the brightly lit Merita Hotel with a small bag under her arm.

Bypassing the large number of reporters guarding the entrance, she entered the hotel from the side door but was stopped outside the lobby.

"Your name is not on the list, Miss," said the waiter at the door.

"It's true that my name is not on the list, but I am Mr. Adrian Kewell's personal assistant. I need to see him for something." Charlize tried to explain, but no matter what she said, the waiter was sure of one thing: not on the list, not allowed to enter.

Charlize almost went crazy. Fortunately, she saw a familiar person passing by the door and immediately stopped him. "That's great, Laffer, can you help me convince this guy to let me in?"

"Charley? What happened? "Laffern, who wanted to get some fresh air, recognized Charlize.

"Eide said that if there are any changes to the schedule in the next few days, I must inform him immediately. I just found a problem and may need to adjust the schedule, so I rushed here, but they won't let me in," Charlize said simply.

"I understand, then …" Laffern turned to look at the waiter's badge. "Paul, listen to me …"

With Laffern as a witness, Charlize finally entered the party hall, but she did not find Adriaan in the whole hall. Instead, she was approached by many people.

"Mr. Claude." After a few minutes, she finally found a familiar figure. "Hello, I'm Charlize."

"Ah, it's the beautiful Miss Charlize. How can I help you?" Claude, who was chatting with a woman, immediately asked with a smile. But he immediately thought of something, and his smile became unpredictable. "You are looking for Eide, right? He's not here. Maybe you can find him upstairs. "

Charlize's beautiful eyebrows suddenly raised. After looking at Claude for a few seconds, she thanked him and walked in the direction of the stairs. The moment she turned around, she made an obvious gesture of rolling her eyes.

Seeing this, Claude chuckled in his heart. He only retracted his attention when the woman next to him called out to him.

"That is indeed a beautiful girl." The woman said with a smile. Her eyes did not show any other emotions.

"That is my best friend's personal assistant. Oh, right, where were we just now? Is it right to compare Iguazu Falls and Niagara Falls? I think … "Claude simply brought the topic back to the main topic.

Charlie, who had stepped onto the second floor, still couldn't find Adrian after circling around a few times. Of course, this had something to do with the larger space on the second floor.

"Do I have to knock on the doors of the rooms one by one? Disturb him from doing something? " Charlize muttered angrily. She decided that if she still could not find him at the end of the passage, she would just go back.

As if God had heard her inner complaints, Charlize finally heard Adriaan's familiar voice. But when she took a few steps forward to finish the matter as soon as possible, she suddenly stopped after taking two steps. Because Adriaan was not the only voice coming from the corner.

"Okay, enough, Eide. I don't want to listen to this. That's it. I want to go down and leave."

"You know, Julie, you look really cute like this."

"Don't say such sweet nothings to me, Ed, they don't work anymore … sob sob …"

"… Ah, it's still sweet and fragrant. I like your lips, Julie."

"Save those words for others, Eide! If you dare to do it without my permission again … sob sob … "

"Oh, it's so cute. If only I had a camera. I could take a picture of your current appearance as a souvenir. Okay, let's go to the room. Don't worry, we won't do anything. We'll just chat. "

"Please, Eide, don't be like this, okay? Don't pull me in! You're illegally detaining me! "

"Listen to me, Julie. Let's talk calmly. You'll be happy."

After kissing, quarreling, and whispering, there was finally the sound of the door closing. Charlize, who stood in the middle of the passage, was stunned for a long time. She gritted her teeth and snorted heavily. Then, she turned around and walked in the direction she came from without looking back.

I must have lost my mind to work for such a boss! Charlize grabbed her hair and thought angrily. Look at what he did in London. He just went out on a date with a woman he didn't know. A few days later, he fooled around with a woman he knew in the lounge. As for now, just chatting? Who would believe that! She bet that after "chatting", he would definitely go to another woman's house for the night. He was simply a bastard whose brain was filled with sperm!

"Drive, go back," Charlize said angrily to the driver after getting into the car and slamming the door.

Glover glanced at her and started the car without saying anything.

After rolling down the window, Charlize finally calmed down after being exposed to the cool wind for a long time. Well, she had no choice but to choose to apply for a job at Bosworth Pictures. At that time, she was in a very difficult situation. Although she was still working in a restaurant to earn money while attending school and training, her savings were getting smaller and smaller. Although her grades were good and she had a lot of internship experience, she didn't know why she was always rejected by different companies.

Therefore, as time went on, she almost couldn't pay the rent. Although her mother comforted her that they could find a cheaper apartment, where could they find a cheaper one? The black community in Queens?

Therefore, when Charlize saw the recruitment notice from Bosworth Pictures in the newspaper, she immediately submitted her resume. She did collect information about Adriaan, and she also knew about the amazing achievements of the man who sat on the bench and encouraged her to try new things. Therefore, she hoped that maybe she could use this relationship to improve her current predicament.

As it turned out, Charlize was right. Adriaan still remembered her and gave her a job with a good salary when she came to Los Angeles alone. It was just that she never expected that this very elegant, talented, and considerate man's private life would be so messy!

Forget it, as long as he remembers to pay me on time, it's fine. Charlize let out a long sigh. Looking out the window, she was about to arrive at the motel where she was currently staying. When she got this month's salary, she could move out.

"Thank you, Glover." After getting off the car at the entrance of the motel, Charlize said to the driver.

"Are you sure you don't need the car tonight?" The driver asked.

"Hmm … Can you wait for me for a while? I left in a hurry, and there are still some things in the room that I haven't packed yet. I need to take a look first, "for some reason, Charlize suddenly said.

"No problem, but remember to inform me." Glover nodded.

Damn it, what was I thinking? Worried that I didn't inform him immediately? It's not my fault! Charlize thought to herself as she walked to the motel.

"Hey, Charley, you're back so soon?" On the corridor on the second floor of the motel, a skinny black man greeted her with a smile. He was holding something that looked like a hand-rolled cigarette in his hand.

"It's done. Of course I have to come back." Charlize replied. Although this black man liked to smoke marijuana and was a little perverted, overall, he was not bad. At least, he was a little better than …

"Of course she's back after having fun. Do you think those people will let her stay the night, Tad?" A strange voice came from the room next door. A young woman with heavy makeup walked out and glared at Charlize with disgust and hostility.

"Don't be like this, Maggie." Although the short black man called Tad was dizzy from smoking marijuana, he still had some sense left in him. Unfortunately, it was too late. A few people in the corridor heard Maggie's words and hissed in unison.

"It's fine, Tad." Although Charlize was talking to Tad, her eyes were staring coldly at the woman. The woman turned her head away guiltily, but she quickly turned back and glared back at her.

It's not worth getting angry with a bitch. She said to herself in her heart and then returned to her room. Even so, Charlize was still in a bad mood. She didn't know why she was feeling so bad. Although she had been ridiculed by the woman in the past, she had never been as angry as she was tonight. She couldn't help but think of Adriaan's face.

Alright, it's probably because … No, no, no. Calm down, Charley. Don't think too much. Glover is still waiting outside for a reply. Charlize rubbed the sides of her head and thought of something. Because Adriaan had left her a room in the villa, she had the key to the villa. Since she didn't want to stay here anymore after what happened just now, why not go to the villa? Eide obviously wouldn't be staying there tonight. Besides, when he returned tomorrow morning, she could give him the itinerary immediately. That way, he wouldn't be able to blame her for anything …

After making up her mind, Charlize automatically filtered out some things in her mind. She packed up the rest of the documents in the room and left the room.

…

The night of revelry finally came to an end, but the aftermath of the Oscars was just beginning. For example, the next day, the Los Angeles Times used the headline "Another Oscar Night, Sad Adriaan Continues His Sadness" as the front page headline. The Washington Post's entertainment section headline was dominated by a photo of Adriaan walking out of the music center with his head down, looking dejected. As for the New York Times, although the photos on the front page were the busts of the winners, the news that Adriaan "won only one out of six nominations" was published in the top right corner.

Just like last year, the media was once again on Adriaan's side, and it seemed to be even more intense than last year. After all, there were three movies in a year with different styles, but all of them had good reviews and box office results. Yet, all of them had failed at the Oscars. No matter what, they deserved sympathy. After all, sympathy didn't cost money, and it could attract attention.
