041 secret dealings
Renly looked at the girl in front of him, his pupils shrank slightly, then he took out his phone, pointed at the girl's figure and pressed the shutter button with a "click".
The girl obviously didn't expect such a move from Renly, which disrupted all her plans. She couldn't help but widen her eyes, "Hey, are you crazy?" She rushed towards Renly in big strides, That wolf-like and tiger-like posture actually had a horrifying aura, but Renly was not worried at all. He raised his right hand high, and his height advantage immediately made him invincible..
The girl's height was no more than Renly's chest. Looking at the unreachable distance, she wisely chose to give up. She stopped in front of Renly and rolled her eyes with a speechless face, "So, Is this how you welcome me? How long has it been since we last met... Christmas the year before last?？”
“I should be asking you this question." Renly was unmoved, "Judging from your tone just now, it's obvious that you knew I would show up today, but you didn't call me in advance.？”
This rhetorical question made the girl stunned, and she waved her hand helplessly, "You don't need to show off your cleverness in front of me..”
Renly shrugged. He didn't buy it at all. The guy in front of him was not a white flower who could be bullied. "I just left evidence in case it was needed.".”
“Hey! "The girl raised her voice in complaint, but after glancing at Renly, she did not say any words of rebuttal. "Otherwise, you delete the picture just now, and I design the lighting and angle, and take another picture? I don't trust your photography skills, it's just entry level.”
Looking at the girl's disgusted face, Renly did not argue. In fact, she was indeed his photographer. "There is no need. Anyway, no one who may see this photo will appreciate you." photography techniques.”
The girl pouted her lips noncommittally. She knew that Renly was telling the truth..
“Tell me, why did you appear here and walk out of the media room? This means that today's interview team includes you." Just from a meeting, and with clues pieced together, Renly deduced that Truth, “But really, aren’t you supposed to be working for the United Nations in Sudan right now? At least that's what George and Elizabeth believe.”
Standing in front of Renly was his sister, his biological second sister, Edith-Hall. She studied art and had outstanding talent, but when she grew up, she gave up art and became interested in photography. Got interested and became a professional photographer.
To a certain extent, photography is a product of fine art relying on modern technology; in addition, she is a woman. In the traditional concept of aristocratic families, women can choose their own interests and hobbies and choose a well-matched husband in the future. This is Enough. Just like Elizabeth has her own gallery. Although the traditional British aristocracy still has many constraints on women, it has still made great progress..
The smartest thing about Edith is that she chose the United Nations as a partner, and as an officially hired photographer, she traveled around the world to complete shooting for charity. Such behavior is a common practice even among British aristocrats. praised. Therefore, the family did not object too much to Edith's choice..
Last month, Sudan ended its seven-year civil war. Since then, the Republic of Sudan has been officially established. The United Nations Peace Force is still in Sudan to deal with the follow-up matters. Logically speaking, Edith should be in Sudan now, not Los Angeles..
Edith rolled her eyes and said, "God, I knew I shouldn't take this job." In fact, it was only after she took the job that she discovered that the leading actor in "War in the Pacific" was actually Renly's. At that time It's too late to refuse.
But surrendering directly is not Edith’s style. “If your family knew that you were now a TV actor, not a movie actor, not a theater actor, but a cheap soap opera actor, do you think they would come over and arrest you in person? "What about taking it back?" She is fighting for her own bargaining chips.——
Renly is a cunning guy. His first reaction when meeting was to take pictures. He obviously foresees the current situation and has the handle in his hands early. Edith couldn't help but grind her teeth secretly. Everyone thought that Renly was a well-behaved and elegant gentleman. She was the only one who saw through the true face of this cute little brother in the family, and she shed a lot of bitter tears..
“Crocodile tears don't work." Not to mention that Renly is reborn and is not that easy to fool. Just considering that they have been together as siblings for twenty years, how could he be fooled by Edith's tricks? "George and Elizabeth have already Cut off all my financial resources. They refused to call me half a year ago. So..." Renly shrugged, which meant: Your threats are useless..
Edith opened her mouth and was about to say something more, but Renly took the lead and said, "Arthur knew about the 'Pacific War'. He wrote a special email to mock me." TV actor, In the eyes of many nobles, he cannot even be called an "actor"”.
“Damn Arthur." Edith cursed, Arthur is just a talker, and his actual actions are not reliable at all..
Edith took out cigarettes from her pocket, lit one quickly, held it in her mouth, and scratched her head in annoyance. Renly, however, was not in a hurry, stood aside quietly, and then walked away. Taking a step to get out of the way, Edith noticed this small movement and her eyes widened, "Don't tell me that you tried to let the hotel cameras capture me, and then hope they kick me out.？”
Renly's face was full of innocence, "Edith, you have been in Africa for a long time. Do you have delusions of persecution?" Well, the plan was discovered, which is really disappointing..
Edith squinted her eyes and looked at Renly, then turned around and walked quickly towards the balcony at the end of the corridor. Without looking back, she knew that Renly must have followed. Sure enough, she turned around in the balcony , seeing Renly standing under the creamy yellow light, Edith put her hands on the railing, "Tell me, what do you want?"？”
If Renly tells her family about her situation, she will probably suffer for a while; and considering that the family has ignored Renly for more than half a year, who knows if they will take out all their resentment on her. Edith knew she had no room for rebuttal.
“You owe me a favor." Renly did not jump into the trap in a hurry, but said calmly, "You will be in charge of taking photos later, right? You'd better not use me as a guinea pig." Without any redundant words, the threatening tone couldn't be clearer..
Edith exhaled a puff of smoke speechlessly, "You must know that other people are queuing up to let me take pictures. This time, 'Vanity Fair' communicated with me for two months in order to invite me to take pictures..”
Renly nodded his chin in realization, "So, this is not the first time you have taken portraits for a magazine. Does it mean that you have never been to Sudan? Well... I should check the past few months. It was photographed in a famous magazine." Renly looked at Edith seriously, "Is it the kind of fashion magazine?？”
Edith bit her cigarette holder fiercely. She made a mistake this time and took the advantage, but she still fell in front of Renly. "Isn't it just that I used you as a test subject when I was in junior high school to learn a little bit, but It's a small thing, and you can hold a grudge for so long." Edith muttered, but Renly couldn't help but raise her eyebrows slightly - she asked him to lie flat on a bench, relying only on his waist for support, and performed the flexible posture of landing from high altitude. One shoot lasted two hours. Is this a trivial matter? Or let him stand in the fountain and pose as Popeye in the cold winter, and spend the whole afternoon doing it. This is a trivial matter.？
Seeing the twinkling light in Renly's eyes, Edith immediately accepted the offer and said, "Deal!" She originally thought that during today's photo shoot, she would give Renly a difficult challenge. Yesterday, she fantasized about several different sets at home. His movements made him so happy that he almost laughed out loud, but now everything is in vain！
Renly nodded in agreement. Edith took a puff of cigarette and expressed her dissatisfaction. However, she did not argue anymore. Although Renly was a bad person, he definitely meant what he said. She didn't have to. Worry. "Are you really planning to continue on this path as an actor? You are a smart person and you should know how unreliable this path is..”
“So what suggestions do you have? Renly said half-jokingly.
Edith thought about it seriously. She was the same type of person as Renly. She was rebellious at heart and had been trying to break free from the constraints and oppression of the traditional British aristocracy..
In fact, she admired Renly very much. From choosing a major at Cambridge University, to taking a leave of absence to go to the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, to raising enough funds, and running to New York in one go, the whole process was done step by step without hesitation, resisting the huge pressure from his family. She truly launched her acting career. Deep down, she hoped that Renly could succeed, so that maybe she could truly get rid of the shackles of the label "female".
“Become a better actor." Edith replied, which made Renly smile, "This time, I listen to the editor of 'Vanity Fair', you should be the absolute core protagonist, and the focus should be on you. .Spielberg seems to have a special regard for you. Tell me, what exactly have you done? Edith put out her cigarette, and then walked back to the room side by side with Renly, "Spielberg is not interested in men, so how did you bribe him?" You are an unknown new actor. If there are no unspoken rules, this does not make sense.！”
Renly deliberately ignored Edith's serious way of talking nonsense - if he took it seriously, he would have been reincarnated long ago, "Can't you think of other reasons?？”
“I can't think of it." Edith's answer was confident..
Renly glanced at Edith speechlessly, "Then you can ask yourself, the editor or Steven.”
“They will definitely tell me that it is because of your strength. Haha, only fools will believe it." After Edith finished speaking, she clapped her hands and laughed, obviously secretly retaliating for the forced transaction just now..
Renly shrugged lightly, "As far as I know, someone is a fool." After saying that, Renly opened the door to the room, picked up his suitcase, and walked in, with Edith behind. Biting her lower lip with a depressed look on her face, she said, "Renly Hall!" But what greeted her was the wooden door that slowly closed..
Bah, bah, that swaying sound really makes people smoke.！
