"Enough!" Nicole suddenly stood up. "I invited you here because I wanted to talk about how to restrain your behavior in a good atmosphere, but you've gone too far now, Adriaan! Please leave now! "
She pointed to the door and said in a trembling voice. She looked very agitated, but unfortunately, Adriaan had already seen through her thoughts. After repeatedly delaying this meeting that should have happened a long time ago, he had made up his mind to get her today.
"Don't be like this, Nicole." Adriaan also stood up, tidied up his clothes, and looked at her with a calm gaze.
"I'm serious, if …" Nicole said as she walked to the door, but Adriaan grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"I said don't be like this." Adriaan lifted her chin and said in a frivolous tone.
Nicole took a few rapid breaths, and an unreadable light flashed in her eyes. She then tried to push him away with all her might, but Adrian's words made her stop, and her body tensed up.
"You're very conflicted and hesitant. You clearly feel someone's infatuation with you, and you also know that he can give you what your husband can and can't give you. He makes your life full of passion and excitement, but you still don't dare and don't want to fall into his arms, because — you're not sure if you can control him! You're not sure if he's playing with you! He's stronger than you think. He never plays by the rules, and you're as small as an ant in front of him! Even if you know that you're attracted to him, your self-esteem is still not willing to admit it! "
Without saying a word, Adriaan took Nicole a step forward, and finally pressed her against the curtain, and then looked at her with a condescending posture.
Nicole gasped for breath, and the color of her face turned snow-white, and then flushed red. Her body also trembled slightly, as if Adriaan had said what was on her mind.
"Oh, Nicole, look at how you look now, it's really … so charming." Adriaan gently kissed her face, and kept whispering in her ear, "Yes, that's it. The taste of wanting and rejecting makes people crazy, makes people full of desire, and makes people want to have you."
Nicole twisted her head and body to avoid his rain-like kisses, but the burning sensation coming from her face and neck made her unable to control herself, and her eyes narrowed slightly.
"Please … respect me, Eide …" She said while panting, and her hands were still half pushing, completely unaware that she had changed the way she addressed him.
Although these words were heard by Adriaan, he not only did not stop, but he became even more aggressive, and his hands were moving all over her body with sparks.
"Stop … you bastard … Tommy … Tommy is coming soon!" Nicole suddenly said.
As if to annotate her words, a car was slowly driving in through the floor-to-ceiling lattice window. After it stopped, Tom Cruise, who was dressed casually and wearing sunglasses, walked out. However, Adriaan did not have the slightest intention to stop, and he turned Nicole over, hugged her from behind, and began to move further.
"Did you hear what I said?! Tommy is coming in soon! "Nicole raised her voice slightly, but there was a trace of indescribable excitement in her anger.
"So what? It's not like we haven't done this before. " Adriaan said with a chuckle in her ear, and Nicole's breathing became more rapid, obviously reminded of the Oscar night.
"He can't come in." Adriaan continued, and there was a faint sound of the doorbell outside the door. "Your previous action of locking the door didn't escape my eyes. What's more, you said that the two of you have separated to live in separate houses, not separate rooms. Generally speaking, in this case, he won't have the key to your house in his hand."
At this time, his left hand was holding her softness and playing with it gently, while his right hand lifted the long skirt and placed it on her firm and elastic thigh. Nicole's wriggling looked more like foreplay flirting than rejection.
"I … I can still scream … and … I can sue you …" Nicole clamped her legs, trying to take back the initiative.
"No, you won't. If you want to do this, you have more suitable opportunities in the past." Adriaan said with a chuckle, and his hand under the skirt began to move further up.
Nicole was not so determined to twist her lower body, trying to avoid his claws, but the phone at the bedside suddenly rang, which startled her. Adriaan seized the opportunity to pull her underwear open.
"Ah!" Nicole screamed. Although her face was flushed, she also called back some reason. Regardless of anything, she clamped her legs again, turned her head, and looked at him with some grief and entreaty. "Please, Eide, don't do this, okay?"
"I said I know what you're thinking." Adriaan's playful smile did not change at all. "Look, look at Tommy below. What's so special about him that makes you miss him?"
His words seemed to have magic. Hiding behind the curtain, Nicole couldn't help but look under the floor-to-ceiling lattice window. Cruise was walking back and forth in the front yard with the phone in his hand. Obviously, the phone at the bedside was from him after he couldn't enter the door. Judging from his constant pacing back and forth, he was very impatient.
"You … You won't understand … He actually … he actually …" Nicole said intermittently, looking at Cruise below without blinking. Her eyes were full of indescribable excitement, and the tip of her nose was covered with beads of sweat.
"I understand that Tommy still has some strengths. At least he works hard in his career, but what about other aspects? To put it bluntly, half of the credit for his current good image is due to his agent, and two-thirds of the credit is due to you. If Kingsley helped him maintain his image in front of his fans, then you helped him maintain his image in front of his friends. " Adriaan whispered in her ear, but the movement of his hands did not stop for a moment. "But what do you get? Yes, you have a firm foothold in this vanity fair and have a position, but in the eyes of others, you are just the wife of the big star Tom Cruise, not Nicole Kidman! "
Speaking of this, he revealed a knowing smile. "Think about it. You can't even wear high heels around him!"
Nicole suddenly trembled, and her body began to become soft, almost paralyzed in Adriaan's arms. Her legs were no longer as tightly clamped as before, and the hand that was making small movements suddenly took advantage of the situation and went deeper.
"I know you will hesitate. In addition to not being sure of my thoughts, you also covet …" Adriaan's words rang in her ear again, like the whisper of the devil. "… that prenuptial agreement, right?"
Nicole couldn't help but moan. She shook her head subconsciously, not knowing if she didn't want to admit it because her thoughts were exposed.
"Oh, what should I say to you, Nicole, you lovely little fool. Well, maybe you can still control Tommy after this conflict, but do you really think there are no smart people around him? What's more, why do you think you can't earn that money with your own ability? I know, and I believe, that you have that ability. What you need is just a chance, and I can give it to you! Why think so much? Why calculate so much? You know how infatuated I am with you, and you know how much I want you. Why don't you give yourself to me? Give yourself to me completely. Don't worry, don't be afraid. You will achieve your own career. At that time, if you want to leave, I won't stop you. Come on, Nicole, give yourself to me. "Adriaan quickly said in her ear, not giving her any time to think.
Nicole, who suffered a huge impact, was confused for a moment. She was further immersed in Adriaan's teasing and couldn't extricate herself. The moans in her mouth became more and more frequent, and her remaining reason seemed to collapse at any time. At this moment, a mobile phone was stuffed into her hand that was holding the curtain, and it kept ringing.
"Answer the phone." Adriaan's voice came into her ear. She looked down the window and saw that Cruise was still on the phone. She immediately understood what was going on.
Then, her body straightened forward, and a feeling of ecstasy, hot, and numb came from below. He actually entered from behind! And it was at this time! But gods are ghosts. Wrapped in the joy of longing and an indescribable excitement of betraying morality, Nicole answered the phone.
"Tommy … I'm sorry, I'm in someone else's house … I suddenly feel that there's nothing to say … Then … cough … I apologize … If … If you want to think so … then do as you please …"
The phone was hung up. Tom Cruise, who was in the front yard, threw the phone on the ground angrily, got into the car and drove out without looking back. Nicole, who was struggling under Adriaan's rhythmic impact, finally couldn't help but moan loudly at this time. Her eyes were filled with chaotic pleasure as she watched the car drive away.
"Come on, come on!" She turned around and hugged Adriaan, and said in a longing tone, just like when they were on the set of "Eye Opener, Warning".
A carnival that belonged to the two of them began. They constantly intertwined violently in the room, especially Nicole, as if she wanted to vent all the unsatisfied desire that had accumulated for several months. After a long time, when the sky was completely dark, the man and the woman lay on the bed softly and did not move.
"You are so charming, dear Nicole. I'm sorry I can't think of a better word, but this afternoon was the most memorable one for me." After a moment of tenderness, Adriaan held the girl's body and praised.
"Isn't this what you want to see?" Nicole's tone was lazy, and then she pushed him with her foot. "Well, you should go back."
"Why? Can't I stay? "Adriaan asked with some surprise.
"Give me some time. What's more, you just played with a married woman, and it was in front of her husband — although he didn't see it — you should feel a little ashamed." Nicole said with some mockery. She turned over and sat up to put on her clothes. It could be seen that Adriaan's words really stimulated her a lot. If it were in the past, she would definitely not say such words.
"Well, I'll go to the Vatican and talk to them in the confessional." Adriaan shrugged and got up to put on his clothes.
"By the way." Just after he put on his pants, Nicole's voice sounded. "This is just a deal, right?"
Adriaan turned his head, and Nicole looked at him expressionlessly, which made him slightly annoyed. Among the women around him, there were a few who were stubborn, such as Kate or Charlize, and so on. But she was the first one who had clearly made a choice, but still pretended to be like this.
However, he quickly controlled his emotions and gave Nicole a meaningful smile. What a smart woman. She recovered so quickly. But if you want to make me angry, this is not enough, and …
"Well, if you must think so …" Adriaan took off his coat, took out his wallet from his coat pocket, took out a $1 bill and shook it. Then, he folded it and inserted it into her bra.
Nicole was stunned at first, and then she reacted. Then, her face became extremely ugly, and her chest began to rise and fall violently. Her eyes stared at Adriaan fiercely as if they were about to spit out fire. But she also quickly realized that she was reaping what she sowed. Since she wanted to provoke, Adriaan could also fight back.
"Very good." Nicole pulled the dollar bill out of her bra, flattened it, and put it on the bedside table. She gritted her teeth and said, "Thank you!"
As soon as she said it, she realized the mistake in it. Unfortunately, it was too late to take it back. Adriaan immediately laughed.
Christmas came as scheduled. Even in Los Angeles, where there was no snow, Christmas trees of all sizes could be seen everywhere. The festive atmosphere was particularly strong. Various shopping malls had also begun further promotional activities, attracting a large number of customers to fight for it. It was crowded almost every day. Never underestimate the combat effectiveness of the Americans in this regard. In fact, when ordinary people or housewives in the world faced such a situation, the only thing they would do was to rush up and open up a bloody path to buy it.
For Adriaan, this was indeed a good holiday. Not only did he settle the initial relationship with the beautiful wife that he couldn't forget, but he also further disturbed her thoughts. Every time he thought of her face becoming uglier after saying the word "thank you", as if she really regarded him as a frequent guest, he couldn't help but want to laugh.
"You can't escape from me anymore, Nicole," Adriaan whispered leisurely, considering whether to continue this behavior.
The news of Nicole and Cruise's possible divorce began to circulate after Christmas Eve. Neither Nicole nor Cruise responded to it, but it was confirmed sooner or later. The news of the two's separation had already caused a stir. How could the media miss this good show?
A movie suitable for Nicole had also been prepared, or rather, the script had been prepared. It might take some time to prepare, but she still needed some time to solve her own problems anyway. There was no hurry, right?
Therefore, it was better to turn his attention to the Christmas movies. "Killing Moment" and "Doomsday" had achieved good box office, especially "Doomsday". So far, it had crossed the 100 million mark in North America, and "Killing Moment" was still trying to reach this goal. However, if the cost was included, the profit of "Killing Moment" was slightly higher.
However, the profit of a movie was not entirely in the box office. There were also videotapes, DVDs, and peripherals. This was why many movies did not do well at the box office, but they could make sequels again and again. It was because the videotapes and DVDs were selling well. As for peripherals, there were not so many in ordinary movies, but it was different for animated movies.
Pixar's "The Bug" was also released on Christmas. Needless to say, how could the Pixar animation, which was said to be suitable for all ages, disappoint people? Not to mention that it was in the Christmas slot. Even so, and it was released a few days earlier than "Doomsday," the box office was at least 20 million less than "Doomsday" when it came to Christmas. However, if the cost was included, it would definitely be much easier for "The Bug" to break even with the box office than "Doomsday."
Moreover, the value of the peripherals of an animated movie was much higher than that of a live-action movie. The peripherals of "Toy Story" had created at least a value of 500 million. Moreover, this was based on AC Media's distribution ability. If it were Disneyland, it would be possible for it to double. Everyone at Pixar praised Adriaan for taking back the rights of the peripherals from Disneyland. It was a great idea.
"Thank you for your compliments. I hope that you can continue to maintain your current state, continue to work hard, and create more outstanding works," Adriaan said at a party hosted by Pixar. He was not very assured.
Compared to the Pixar of the same period in his memory, there was no doubt that the company in his hands now had more funds. Even though most of it flowed into the pockets of the head office, the amount given to them was still quite large. If not for the fact that they were busy with the production of "Toy Story 2," the company would have moved elsewhere a long time ago. Therefore, Adriaan was also a little worried. If they were to be carried away by these victories, it would be difficult to handle. However, Kamore was not worried.
"Please believe in us, just like how you believe that we will definitely produce outstanding animation," Kamore replied after learning of Zhang Zian's worries. That was Kamal's reply after learning of Zhang Zian's concerns. As the CEO of Pixar, he naturally had more say in the matter.
Naturally, Adriaan expressed his understanding very quickly. He was just a little worried. After all, the working atmosphere at Pixar was unique in the industry. It was precisely because of this unique working atmosphere that so many iconic animated movies were born. Some creativity, even if it was handed over to other studios, would not be able to do as well as Pixar.
The huge sales of Pixar's animation also stimulated another studio under the company, Blue Sky Studio, which was acquired by AC Media not long ago. Back then, it was Adriaan who repeatedly guaranteed that they would not merge into Pixar and promised to support them in producing new animations that Chris Weiji and his team finally relented. Now, seeing that Pixar, which was under the same parent company, had another movie that was selling well, as an animation studio, it would be strange if they were not jealous.
