The plane vibrated slightly, and then began to fly steadily. Adriaan, who had been thinking about something, came back to his senses. He let out a long sigh and called out, "Allie, are you there?"
"Sorry, Mr. Adriaan. You may have forgotten that Miss Allie is on vacation." A young woman in a sky-blue stewardess uniform walked over. She was about five feet six inches tall and had a well-proportioned body. She had a head of long, dark brown hair. Her facial features were not delicate, but they had a strange exotic charm. She was Indian.
"Poyaka Chopra?" Adriaan searched his memory and found her name.
"I'm glad you remember my name, sir." The woman smiled and nodded. "What can I do for you?"
"A latte, thank you." Adriaan returned the smile. "Allie should have told you about the precautions."
"Yes, please wait a moment." The Indian woman named Poyaka then walked to the other side.
After gazing at her beautiful back for a while, Adrian retracted his gaze and continued to look out of the window. The sun had already set through the dusky yellow clouds, but as the plane flew, it would not completely set. Wait a minute, did I get the time difference wrong? Well, although he had flown on this route countless times, he still did not take note of this problem. If it were someone else, it would not matter, but for a guy with an amazing memory …
Putting that aside, Adriaan left London again. This time, he stayed a little longer than before. He had to accompany little Emma around Europe and persuade Columbus to start preparing for "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets." It was inevitable that he would spend some time. In addition, he had to understand the box office of "Jump Out of My World" in the UK. Just like "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," the film first had a pre-screening in Los Angeles before it was released in the UK and the US in January 2001. The overall reviews were not bad. After all, it was an inspirational film, and the quality was almost the same as the original. But as for the specific characters …
The UK and US media agreed on the performance of the male lead, Jamie Bell. They all thought that he was young and charismatic, and did a good job. But for the female supporting character, Nicole Kidman, they had a completely different attitude.
"There are some flaws. The change from indifference to enthusiasm is not very convincing, but it does not cover up her excellent performance." This was the opinion of the US media.
In fact, the UK media also admitted that Nicole's performance in the movie was not bad, but they were very unhappy because it was another story of Americans saving the British.
In fact, the UK media also admitted that Nicole's performance in the movie was not bad. They were just unhappy because it was another story of Americans saving the British. It seemed exaggerated, but the British had always been like this, or the mainstream of British society. It could be seen as the unwillingness of a big empire to decline.
It did not matter. They were unhappy as long as they did not distort the truth and think that "Out of My World" was terrible. Therefore, Adriaan did not care. He took the time to meet with Baz Luhrmann and asked him about the script of a song and dance movie he was working on. Anyway, it was not the first time he had done this kind of thing.
Then, calculating the time, George W. Bush was about to be sworn in, and Adriaan had to prepare a new single for Avril. Her piano practice was not bad under his pressure. If this single was also popular, then he could start preparing for her debut album. So, Adriaan embarked on his journey home.
"Your latte, Mr. Adriaan." At this time, Pu Yaka came over with a plate. After placing the coffee on the small table, she placed a few small snacks.
"Thank you." Adriaan took a sip. "Well, it's quite good. It's about 80% of Allie's standard. By the way, are you Indian or Indian-American?"
"Well … I'm Indian." Pu Yaka, who did not know why he asked this, hesitated before answering.
"Sit down." Adriaan gestured for her to sit down. "Don't be so restrained. I just want to find someone to talk to. You know, Allie is not here, and neither is my secretary. It's very lonely to have no one to talk to on a long flight."
After hesitating again and again, Pu Yaka sat down. Her slightly embarrassed appearance made her look a little cute. "Well, Mr. Adriaan."
"You can call me Eide." Adriaan smiled. "Are you really Indian? Sorry, I don't doubt the authenticity of your words, but from your accent to your behavior, you are no different from the average American. "
Pu Yaka could not help but smile. She reached out and brushed her hair behind her ear. "I was born in Jamshedpur, Jharkhand, India, but spent most of my childhood in Peshawar, Pakistan. Then, I came to the United States at the age of ten. First, I went to primary school and middle school in Massachusetts, and then to high school in Iowa. I have been in the United States for almost ten years."
"I see." Adriaan showed a look of understanding. "Then why did you choose to be a … flight attendant?"
He used the more formal term "flight attendant", but he didn't expect that such a question would suddenly make Pu Yaka purse her lips. Her eyes were also covered with a layer of mist, and sadness uncontrollably climbed up the corner of her mouth.
"Did I say something wrong? If so, I apologize. "Adriaan quickly said so, and at the same time, he handed over a tissue.
"Thank you." Pu Yaka said in an almost inaudible voice. After receiving the tissue, she did not wipe the corner of her eyes. Instead, she grabbed it in her hand and rubbed it a few times. Then, she controlled her emotions. "I'm really sorry, Adriaan … Eide."
"It's okay. There are always a few words that will accidentally touch the deep … scars in people's hearts." Adriaan observed her carefully. "I hope you won't be too sad."
"I originally wanted to be a doctor. New York University has approved my application, but …" Pu Yaka smiled helplessly.
"Did something happen in your family?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows. The salary of a doctor in the United States was very high, but it was not so easy to become a qualified doctor. First, one had to get a bachelor's degree before they could apply for medical school. Then, they had to study for at least four years, and the annual tuition was at least 40,000 US dollars. It was not easy to graduate, and they had to practice for another five or six years before they could get a formal qualification. Many middle-class families might not necessarily be able to afford it.
This was already considered good. The competition in medical school was also very fierce. Even if you had good grades, you might not be able to apply. Moreover, in medical school, you had to pass various examinations every year. Even if you graduated, you might not be accepted by the hospital. Even if you were accepted, you would not be paid for the first three or four years of internship. The pressure of the college entrance examination in his previous life could not be compared at all.
Alright, I've gone too far again. Following Adriaan's question, Pu Yaka realized something, and a hesitant look appeared on her face again.
"Sometimes, it's not appropriate to bury the pain in your heart. When you turn a blind eye to it, it may slowly heal, or it may worsen and even flow pus." Adriaan looked at her and said softly, "So sometimes, you need to talk to others to relieve your pain and pressure. If you are willing, I can be your listener."
His gentle words made Pu Yaka, who was not very guarded in the first place, let down her guard. She gently sniffed. Although her eyes were still misty, she still said, "My father was an Indian born in Pakistan, and my mother was born in Tamil Nadu. They were both doctors in the army. They often helped people, and I was proud of them since I was a child. My brother and I both wanted to be doctors in the future. Then, last year … no, the year before last, Pakistan and India had a … serious conflict in Kargil … My parents were there at that time … and … my brother happened to be there too … "
Speaking of this, she covered her mouth and choked with sobs. Adriaan could not help but sigh. "This is really a terrible thing. I hope you will not fall into endless …"
"I don't, Eide. I have never hated anyone." Pu Yaka raised her head. Her tearful appearance was very touching. "I just hate war. I just … don't want to go back, so I participated in the flight attendant training."
"You are very kind and strong, Pu Yaka. Your parents and your brother will be happy for you in heaven," Adriaan said in a sincere tone.
Then, he changed the topic and diverted her attention with some trivial things. Soon, her mood returned to normal.
"Oh my god, it's been so long. Do you want to eat anything for dinner?" After chatting for a long time, Pu Yaka finally noticed the time and quickly stood up to ask.
"Herring steak and vegetable salad, and some beans. The rest is up to you." Adriaan thought for a moment and then suddenly laughed. "Would you like to have dinner with me?"
"Have dinner?" Pu Yaka obviously shrank back. She had been a flight attendant on Adriaan's private plane for a slightly longer time than the other two younger girls. She had some understanding of Adriaan's style.
"Yes." Adriaan seemed to not see her movement. He remained calm and gentle as before. "By the way, call Elisa and Gerri. Since the beginning of you boarding the plane, I have not formally communicated with you."
After saying that, without waiting for Pu Yaka to answer, he pressed the communicator beside him to contact the flight attendants. "Hey, Gerri, Elisa, are you free now?"
"Of course, Mr. Adriaan. What can I do for you?" A lively voice quickly came from the other side.
"You boarded the plane with Gerri last December, didn't you, Elisa? I don't seem to have any in-depth communication with you. Now that Pu Yaka is about to prepare dinner, I would like to invite you to have dinner together. What do you think? "Adriaan glanced at Pu Yaka and said.
There was no reply from the other side for a long time. He believed that Gerri and Elisa were discussing. However, Adriaan didn't have to wait too long. Elisa's lively voice quickly sounded. "It's an honor, Mr. Adriaan."
"See." Adriaan smiled and spread out his hands to Pu Yaka. Pu Yaka sighed and then went to prepare.
Although she wasn't within his expectations, she was much more attractive than the other two. Once again looking at her back as she left, Adriaan thought so. An Indian girl who grew up in the United States without being irrigated by curry and Ganges water, the world was really too beautiful.
For a long time, Adriaan's private plane had four stewardesses serving him. At first, he didn't touch them, even if some women took the initiative to seduce him, so they were still in harmony. However, it was different after Elly Lander appeared. Out of some hobby, Adriaan slept with her, which broke the balance between the stewardesses, and it became more and more serious with his favoritism.
However, Elly served him well, and she was also quite capable. Even when the other stewardesses didn't cooperate in private, she still managed the affairs on the plane in an orderly manner. Therefore, when she endured for a long time and complained to Adriaan in the second half of last year, he immediately terminated the contract with the other three stewardesses and hired a younger girl. This was why he said to her at that time, "I will consider your feelings."
Of course, he also subtly warned Elly that she was now in charge of the affairs on the plane. If she didn't get along well with the new stewardesses, then it would be very regrettable. What Adriaan didn't expect was that in the process of re-hiring the stewardesses, he found a few girls that surprised him, such as —
"You mean, if you got a role in Attack of Pop Science: Escape Specialist, maybe you would be an actress?" Adriaan asked the beautiful girl with short blonde hair sitting on his left with a smile.
"Perhaps, I was a children's clothing model when I was a child, so I had the idea of being an actress in the future. This is also why I auditioned for Attack of Pop Science: Escape Specialist. I didn't expect to fail in the end, which was disappointing. I bet I performed better than everyone," Elisa Koosbert from Canada told her story while holding a long neck glass of champagne. The blue stewardess uniform made her very attractive, "I don't think about that at all now, being a stewardess is not bad."
"Indeed, this kind of thing has to take its course. When I was in middle school, I also participated in some TV series and movies, but it was really boring." Another girl, who was also holding a cup, chimed in. She had long, wavy, dark brown hair, and an oval face that was comparable to Sarah's. Her blue eyes were very beautiful, and her 5 '9 "height, coupled with her high heels, was almost as tall as Adrian.
"Really, what kind of roles have you played before? Maybe I saw it on TV or in a movie. "Elisa suddenly became interested.
"Oh, don't mention it, they were all small roles, so I don't want to be an actress anymore." Gerry Soborski shrugged with little interest, "But I'm too tall. My friends say I can't be an actress, so I should be a model. But I think being a stewardess seems to be a good choice. To hell with being an actress."
"I have to remind you two, the person sitting in front of you is a famous director," Adriaan coughed and said.
The two girls were stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud. Elisa then pushed Gerry, "If you want to realize your former dream, there is a good person in front of you to pray to."
"This sentence should be given to you," Gerry retorted unceremoniously, "Eide is a director, not a priest, a priest, or a rabbi."
This sentence immediately made everyone laugh, including Pu Yaka who rarely spoke next to them. Adriaan's friendly attitude made it easy for them to call him by his name, and they did not have so many scruples when joking.
Because of Adriaan's butterfly wings, the trajectory of someone's life changed again. Elisa Cuthbert, a beautiful and sexy Canadian girl, should have made a name for herself in "The Escape Specialist" and even been invited by Hilary to visit the White House. Then, she successfully gained a foothold in Hollywood with "24", but now, for unknown reasons, she was not selected. In the end, she entered the aviation academy to study and became a stewardess.
Gerry Soborski's change was even greater. She should have entered the entertainment industry because of her acting experience when she was a young girl, changed her name to Lily Soborski, and then gained a lot of attention at the end of the 1990s. However, among the few supporting roles that made her well received, "A Kiss to Decide the World" was produced in advance, and "Eyes Wide, Alert" was taken over by Adriaan and he found another girl. So now, she also entered the aviation academy and became a stewardess like Elisa.
Of course, this was all known to Adriaan. What he did not know was Poyaka Chopra. She should have returned to India in 2000 to study medicine, then participated in the Miss India competition and won the Miss World competition, then entered Bollywood to become a song-and-dance film actress. But now, because her family was destroyed, she stayed in the United States and also entered the aviation academy to become a stewardess.
In a wonderful way, they returned to the side of the people who indirectly caused all of this. If Adriaan deliberately chose Elisa and Gerry, he really did not know about Poyaka. Bollywood was a completely closed film market where movies from other countries could not enter and local movies could not leave. Not many people would have an impression of it, let alone study it. So, it could only be said that it was fate.
The dinner was very good. The three girls chatted happily with Adriaan, and the distance between them had shortened a lot. Especially Poyaka, although she encountered a huge family change, she was, after all, the same age as Elisa and Gerry. She had lived in the United States for so long, so there was no estrangement at all. In addition, after confiding in Adriaan, she was much better, and she smiled a lot more, so …
"Eide … Wait … Eide … No …" Although Poyaka whispered, there was a hint of resistance on her face. But she let Adriaan take her into the bedroom of the plane, and then he pressed her against the wall. In the midst of kissing, he pulled up the stewardess' short skirt and dropped her lace underwear. Finally, they pressed together and pushed up.
She had just opened her heart to Adriaan, played with Elisa and Gerry for a long time, and then chatted with Adriaan for a long time in a drunken state, so now was the right opportunity. Actually, Adriaan could have taken it slow, but the trip to London had made him feel a little uneasy. The women were not by her side, and since they were in London, they had to give Kyla a massage. She had told them countless times that London was more convenient than Los Angeles. This time, Kyla did not turn on the tap, so it was useless even if she used both her hands.
"That's a technical problem." That was what Adriaan said at that time. Although he had successfully aroused Kyla's competitiveness and made her go one step further in a twisted direction, it was very uncomfortable that she could not vent it out, so …
