Chapter 211 Self-defeating
Looking at Rupert Murdoch, who was less than 60 years old across the street, Eric's deepest impression of this media tycoon was undoubtedly from the sensation scandal in his previous life. Perhaps because of the eavesdropping scandal, the media chose photos of the other party in a relatively embarrassed manner in his memory, but at this time, Murdoch was full of energy, with few hair neatly combed, wearing frameless glasses, and a friendly smile on his lips.
When Eric looked at the other party, Old Murdoch was also carefully examining the young man who was less than 20 years old on the other side. The process did not last for a few seconds, and the two of them reached out their hands at the same time.
"Hello, Mr. Murdoch, I am Eric Williams." Although the other party must have seen himself in the photo, out of the etiquette of meeting for the first time, Eric introduced himself.
"Hello, Eric," Murdoch shook hands with Eric, and then turned to Aniston: "This must be the beautiful Miss Jennifer Aniston. Your performance in Friends is so wonderful."
It was the first time that someone was praised so much in front of her boyfriend. Aniston showed a slightly shy expression and reached out to shake the other person: "Thank you, Mr. Murdoch."
While Eric and Aniston greeted Barry Diller, Old Murdoch gave a look to his daughter.
Elizabeth looked at the man and woman in front of her, and couldn't help feeling a little taste in her heart. After realizing her taste, Elizabeth felt even more uncomfortable.
But soon, the girl found a reason for her emotions. She felt that she was holding on to Julia. A few days ago, she saw Eric sleeping comfortably on Julia's thighs on her thighs. After the guy woke up, Julia, whose legs were numb, sat on the sofa for a long time before she recovered. Julia was so kind to him. But in the past few days when she returned to Los Angeles, she had never seen this guy contact Julia on his own initiative, and now she kissed me and me with another woman. What a bastard.
"Hi, Liz. You're so beautiful today," Eric said hello to Barry Diller before turning to Elizabeth.
"Hello, Mr. Williams," Elizabeth reached out and shook Eric with a light grip, looking like she wanted to keep a distance. Then the girl showed a bright smile and pulled Aniston next to Eric intimately: "Miss Aniston. Hello, my name is Elizabeth, wow, your dress is so beautiful. Let's go, I'll take you in."
Elizabeth said, pulling Aniston inwards on his own. Little 丨Niu looked at Eric in search. Although Eric felt that Elizabeth had some malicious intentions, the other party would not have mentioned Aniston's dress intently. However, in this occasion, Eric was sure that Elizabeth would not be too rude, so he nodded to Aniston. Little 丨Niu was then taken away by Elizabeth obediently.
The daughter's actions were completely opposite to her previous explanation, which made Old Murdoch feel a little angry, but helpless.
Although Murdoch was busy with his career, he paid much attention to his children because he was almost sixty years old. Although Westerners always disagree with their old age, they had to consider successors for his media empire. Compared to his oldest daughter who was unintentional to career and two very incompetent young sons, Elizabeth was undoubtedly the best in ability. When the girl was in school, she successfully established a small local cable TV station. However, Elizabeth's personality was both stubborn and proud, and she always liked to fight against him, a father in many things.
Seeing his daughter greeting Eric lightly and pulling the other person's girlfriend away, Murdoch had to say to Eric: "Sorry, Eric, Liz is still a little ignorant, let's go in."
"Of course it doesn't matter, Mr. Murdoch. Actually, I still like Miss Elizabeth's straightforward personality." Eric said politely, and the three of them walked towards the villa where the party was held.
There were about twenty guests in the villa, and as time went by, people came one after another. In addition to the actors and staff of "Friends", Fox invited many Hollywood stars to support them.
Although Murdoch has been irritated by Eric these days, it is impossible for Eric to pull the other party to discuss things as soon as he came. So after chatting with Eric in the villa, he told Eric to enjoy the party well, and after he asked him to enjoy the party, Murdoch and Barry Diller went to socialize with other guests as if nothing had happened.
Eric then took his free time, looked around in the crowd, and soon found Aniston's figure, and couldn't help but take a breath. Elizabeth's little girl definitely did it on purpose, look at the girls who seemed to be chatting and laughing, Julia Robert, Brooke, Little Silk, Gabriel, and even Nicole Kidman appeared.
After a closer look, Oh my God, there is Drew, shouldn't the little girl be in a boarding school?
Seeing this situation, Eric quickly turned around without a trace, intending to stay away, but Nicole, who happened to face him, grabbed the figure.
A moment later, the girl wearing a black pencil skirt and high heels appeared beside Eric, hiding in the crowd.
"Good evening, Eric," the girl leaned over Eric, less than thirty centimeters from Eric, gently raised the red wine in her hand. It is said that the close distance between people is within 45 centimeters, and more than 45 centimeters is at most a friend relationship. The girl definitely wouldn't know this theory. The reason why she got so close to Eric was probably completely self-taught. Sure enough, the girl's movements made several people around her look at her and Eric involuntarily.
Of course Eric didn't know the theory about 45 cm, but he felt uncomfortable instinctively. He subconsciously took a small step before asking, "Nicole, why are you here?"
Nicole noticed Eric's retreating action and showed a slightly resentful look, but she didn't dare to move forward and explained: "I'm also an Australian."
Eric quickly took out some memories of the Australian Gang in Hollywood. It is said that the Australian Gang is the most united small circle in Hollywood. However, it is still the late 1980s, and the Australian Gang must have no sign yet. Like Hugh Jackman, Russell Clow, Cate Blanchett, and Nicole in front of him, these representatives of the Australian Gang are still unknown. Therefore, he is sure that Nicole appears here and has nothing to do with her and the Murdoch family being Australians.
Although the girl didn't tell the truth, Eric could still guess something. When he remembered that Gabriel could be so ripe in Hollywood with his little rumors of catching up with his own storm, he could get the role of the second female lead in a movie. As a newcomer, Nicole was the heroine of his next movie, and with Gabriel's scheming and means over several streets, although he still has no work in Hollywood, he must have been so glorious.
After thinking about this, Eric didn't mean to delve into it any more. He didn't care how Nicole was scheming and tricks, just just know the current affairs in front of him.
"Nicole, what are you guys talking about just now?" Eric pointed at the position where the girls just got together.
The girl chuckled, with a proper but not excessive joke on her face: "Don't worry, Eric, no one discussed Miss Aniston's dress. We talked about some, well, Friends' matter, this is the theme tonight. And, it's you, the second lady of Murdoch's family is very concerned about you."
After saying the last sentence, Nicole blinked in a slight manner.
Eric couldn't help but drink a sip of red wine to cover up the embarrassment on his face, and then asked, "Is there anything else?"
"No more," Nicole shook her head, and then said softly, "But you must not be able to get into someone's bed tonight, Eric, why not, go to my place?"
"You are really malicious," Eric narrowed his eyes and glanced at the girl. Aniston usually has an ostrich mentality towards his fickle scandals. Tonight, so many women who have a close relationship with him appeared in front of her. Xiao丨Niu must be very upset. If she dares to leave her and spend the night at other women, then she will wait for a storm.
"Really, am I that kind of bad woman in your heart?" Nicole glared at Eric with dissatisfaction. If it weren't for the girl's slightly flashing gaze, Eric would have thought that the other party had said that sentence unintentionally.
"Do me a favor, Nicole," Eric said after thinking.
Seeing the girl showing an interesting look, Eric continued, "Go and help me watch out for Jane. Jane is simple-minded, you can definitely make her happy easily."
"Ah!" Nicole immediately opened her eyes wide and protested: "I don't want it."
Eric glanced at the girl and said solemnly: "Don't refuse, there is another point. Be optimistic about Drew, don't let the two of them make a fuss."
Whenever I think of two girls fighting, Eric is still scared. The two girls will have a certain degree of rebirth when they fight. In layman's terms, they like to scratch people with their little claws. If they catch them on their faces, it will be miserable.
Nicole had been in Eric's villa for so long, and knew Drew's perverse and changeable personality very well. The little girl was no worse than herself. If she really had a fight with the stubborn girl Aniston, she wouldn't be able to stop her. Thinking of these girls shook their heads again, with a faint plea in their tone with a bitter face: "This is too difficult, Eric."
Eric picked up the red wine and sipped it as if nothing had happened, and his tone was plain but unquestionable, "Go quickly, if the two of them get into trouble tonight, you won't have to act in "Seattle Night Without Sleeping".
Nicole could hear that Eric was not joking, and lamented in her heart that whom I had offended, but she didn't dare to be slow anymore. She turned around and walked away quickly in her leather shoes. (To be continued)
