Chapter 168: The Collapse of Theron and the Coming Judgment

"Hey Theron! Is now a good time?"

In the driver's seat of the Wrangler, Eric drove while making a phone call.

"Eric, what's wrong?"

"How about having dinner together? And discussing the plot of Inception."

"Um sorry Eric, I'm a little tired and don't want to go out tonight. I'll treat you to dinner another day."

"You sound a little depressed. What happened?" Eric asked knowingly.

Charlize Theron hesitated for a moment before saying, "Nothing, I'm just a little tired from filming. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up. I need to rest for a while."

"Wait, we've been filming for a whole day. It's not good for your health to go to bed without eating dinner. If you don't want to come out, I'll buy you some food."

Hearing that Eric was coming over, Theron quickly refused: "No, it's too much trouble. Actually, I'm not hungry at all!"

"Is your boyfriend home?" Eric asked directly.

"Is he he?"

"Is he there or not?"

"exist."

"Really?"

Theron was silent for a while before speaking: "No, he's not home."

"Okay, wait for me in half an hour at most!"

"No Eric, you mustn't"

"It's settled!"

After hanging up the phone, Eric smiled. He could sense the entanglement in the other party's tone.

The very fact that she is struggling shows that she has me in her heart, and that I am enough to shake her boyfriend's position in her heart.

A few minutes later, seeing that the call had never been returned, Eric became more certain of his thoughts.

If Charlize Theron really didn't want to let herself go, she would definitely call me again to dissuade me, or even say something harsh, but she didn't.

Her current state was like that of a person walking on the edge of a cliff. Even if she exerted a little effort, she could find an excuse to fall down.

The Wrangler accelerated straight to Leonard's restaurant. The two had dined here many times, and Eric knew what she liked to eat.

Meanwhile, in Beverly Hills, Charlize Theron's villa.

The woman leaned against the wall and slowly slid down, finally sitting helplessly on the ground, her cell phone slipping from her palm.

A string of numbers had already appeared on the electronic screen, but her fingers never touched the dial button.

Sighing, Theron couldn't help but ask herself, what was wrong with her? What was she doing? She actually allowed a man to come to her house.

What's scary is not that this man is a stranger, but that he is very familiar.

The two had been together for more than a month, and she was no fool, so she could naturally feel Eric's affection for her.

"Could it be that I have already accepted Eric's feelings in my subconscious? Otherwise, why would I allow him to come?"

"No, that's not the case. Eric is the investor, the producer, the player with power, and I am just a card on the table."

"How can the cards refuse the player? I just succumbed to his power."

"As for feelings, we are friends and can only be friends. Today is just a dinner between friends and it doesn't mean anything."

"I can't betray Stuart. By the way, Stuart, I have to tell him that if Eric sees him here, he will definitely back down."

Thinking of this, Charlize Theron picked up her cell phone to find her boyfriend's number, and then her finger stopped on the dial button again.

Looking at the phone screen in front of her, she felt as if her fingers weighed a thousand pounds and she couldn't press the buttons.

There was a struggle in my mind and I didn't know how much time had passed when I suddenly heard the doorbell and woke up.

Looking up at the time, Theron was shocked and said, "Oh no, why did it take so long? Eric must be here."

As if pushed by an invisible force again, she decisively threw away her phone and threw the idea of ​​notifying her boyfriend out of the window.

When she opened the door, it was indeed the little man who had made her feel uneasy.

Eric raised the paper bag in his hand and said, "Look at the logo on it. These are all the dishes you like."

Theron said helplessly, "I told you you didn't need to come, Eric."

"But I'm already here, so you won't invite me in?"

Theron took the bag. "Well, for the sake of food, at least you did remember what I like to eat."

Bang! Eric walked into the house. It was his first time to visit Theron's house. His goal became clearer in an instant, which was to make this place his own home in the future.

After pouring the food onto the plate, Theron asked, "Do you need anything to drink? Coke? Juice? Wine?"

"Of course it's wine. It's the most suitable drink for this moment."

"Why?"

"The chef recommended this dish. This foie gras must be paired with red wine to taste good. And it seems that you need a little alcohol to numb your mood."

Theron's hand trembled violently: "What does this have to do with my mood?"

"Because it hears the sadness deep in your heart." Eric pointed to his ears.

The two looked at each other for a few seconds. Under Eric's powerful eye attack, Theron was defeated and hurriedly turned around and walked to the wine cabinet.

"Uh, Harlan's, is that okay? Or Stag's Leap?"

"Stag's Leap Winery, Cabernet Sauvignon is the king of grapes."

"The King of Grapes is a perfect match for you, the King of Hollywood. Is that what you mean?"

Eric shook his head slightly: "The King of Hollywood, haha. I don't like this title. Harvey Weinstein can be called the Emperor of Hollywood. He completely tarnished this title."

"I heard that Harvey Weinstein is not a good person. There are rumors in the circle that he likes to be unruly with actresses."

"It's not a rumor. I can tell you it's true. He sexually assaulted or threatened to sexually assault at least dozens of actresses."

Hearing this, Theron was a little surprised at first, and then nodded in understanding. The circle is just like this, what can we do? He came over with the food, and the two sat on the ground.

Theron suddenly asked, "Eric, you're not like Weinstein, are you?"

"Do you think I need it?" Eric asked back, pointing at his handsome face.

The two of them burst into laughter. Charlize Theron thought that she and Eric had been alone together so many times, and Eric had ample opportunities. If he really wanted to force it, he would have done it long ago, but he didn't.

Well, recently he seems to be getting bolder and bolder. He is no longer satisfied with verbal teasing and has started to take physical action.

But it was not annoying at all, and it broke through my defenses like a gentle rain that moistened everything silently.

"It will take half an hour to sober up. We can eat something first."

"Or watch a movie. I got the DVD."

"'Intolerable', with Jennifer Lopez? I like her." Theron took the tape and looked at it.

"What kind of movie is this?"

"It's a crime thriller or a suspense thriller. I haven't seen it either. My boss gave it to me."

In fact, of course Eric knew that the content of the movie involved domestic violence. The husband abused his wife, and then the wife woke up and beat and killed the husband in revenge. It was considered a revenge movie.

For Theron, this kind of movie works much better than horror movies.

They turned on the DVD player and the Sony Columbia logo floated by. The two of them ate while watching.

The movie is from last year and the picture quality is very clear.

As the plot of the movie progressed, the two put down their cutlery, and Charlize Theron frowned and looked at the TV screen with a distressed expression.

Bang! "OMG!"

As the scumbag husband broke his wife's ribs with one punch, even though she knew it was a movie, the memories of the past still attacked her.

Theron couldn't stand it anymore and turned his head away and closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Eric moved closer, opened his arms and held her in his arms.

At the moment their bodies touched, he clearly felt that Theron's body trembled, but she did not resist.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

The two of them hugged each other quietly and could hear each other's heartbeats.

Eric didn't go any further. After a while, he said, "Don't be afraid. She's going to kill that scumbag."

Theron opened her eyes and moved slightly, but when she found that it had no effect, she stopped struggling and leaned against Eric's chest, returning her attention to the movie.

In the end, when the scumbag husband was beaten to death by his wife and his wife was deemed to have acted in self-defense, Charlize Theron finally smiled.

Eric took the opportunity to peck her on the cheek, and Theron shuddered again.

Then something seemed to move, and four lips suddenly came together, a pair of arms wrapped around Eric's neck, and the two men kissed passionately.

A moist scent filled the air, and Eric concentrated on tasting Theron's flavor, their heavy breathing intertwining together.

The kiss lasted for several minutes, as if to vent all the longing and desire in the past period of time.

Suddenly, Eric felt a force in his chest and was pushed to the ground, while Theron quickly stood up and took a few steps back.

She waved her hands repeatedly: "Eric, it's not right for us to do this. I have a boyfriend, you know."

"And Stuart didn't betray me. Please don't force me anymore. I'm worried that I won't be able to control myself and betray him. I don't want to be the bad guy."

Eric smiled and motioned Theron to be quiet: "Okay, I respect your decision, I won't force you, rest assured, okay?"

Theron gasped and looked at Eric, "Really?"

"Really, I promise that what happened just now will not happen again, okay?"

Theron nodded: "Okay, I'll go heat up the food, you wait a moment."

Seeing that she didn't dare to look him in the eye and made up a lame excuse to escape, Eric couldn't help but laugh.

But it seems that he still needs to work harder, as he knows that Charlize Theron is a more loyal woman.

With her beauty and status, it was normal for her to have suitors lining up from Los Angeles across the Atlantic to London.

But she actually has very few scandals, especially during her relationship, and there has never been any rumor of cheating.

Are the tabloids not working hard? Of course not. The US entertainment media has the best business capabilities in the world.

The main reason is that it is really hard to find, and Charlize Theron is such a woman.

If you really want to get a woman like this, you have to put in more effort.

Afterwards, the two drank the already decanted red wine, ate the leftover food, and discussed the plot of the movie.

After the passionate kiss just now, Eric could feel that Theron's heart opened up more and she began to talk about the most painful memory.

My father abused my mother and me, and in order to protect herself, my mother chose to shoot my father.

The two have been alone many times, and this is the first time Theron has talked about this topic.

Once they started talking, the two of them drank one cup after another. Eric couldn't stop her from drinking, so he had to drink with her.

Then he held her in his arms again, smelling the alcohol on her breath, watching her eyelids gradually become heavy, until her whole body completely softened in his arms.

"Alas! Sometimes it's hard to be a gentleman, especially when facing a beauty like you, but your beauty lowers my rationality while raising my morality."

"How could I take advantage of you? Just have a good sleep."

Eric muttered to himself as he picked up Theron, went up to the second-floor bedroom, helped her take off her shoes, then put her on the bed and covered her with a quilt.

Looking at this beautiful face, he couldn't help but lower his head and kissed Charlize Theron gently on the forehead, then closed the door and left.

After a while, hearing the noise coming from the kitchen downstairs, Theron slowly opened her eyes.

After a while, she saw Eric's departing back through the curtains, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly.

She touched the part of her forehead that was kissed, and then her boyfriend's yelling and quarrels over the past few days resurfaced in her mind.

Theron shook her head and covered her head with the quilt.

Seven days passed in a flash. During this time, Eric was busy filming. He did not harass Charlize Theron on the day when Monster was wrapped, but they kept in touch by phone and text messages every day.

During this period, he also completed the script outline of "Inception", which he had been writing for more than a month. He also sought out a script doctor to enrich it and arranged for the producer to contact major actors such as Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, and Tom Hardy.

As for Nicole, he naturally sent her there personally, and took the opportunity to go through the back door, clear the sewers, play with the little bells, sing an opera and dance.

After several months of script improvement, "La Vie en Rose" finally started filming, and the most important director choice finally fell on Ron Howard.

Eric has great respect and admiration for this great director, who is known as the best biographical director in Hollywood and has directed countless excellent works.

He just won the Oscar for Best Director for "A Beautiful Mind" two years ago, so I can rest assured that I can leave the work to him.

I did not participate in the script of "Supernatural", I just came up with the idea.

The format of a unit drama is actually relatively easy. I directly hired nine screenwriters to do the work and submitted a first draft to myself in a short period of time.

Eric reviewed it and made some suggestions for revisions. It is estimated that it will be ready to start filming by the end of August.

The first season of "American Horror Story" still chose Murder House as the prototype of the script. Eric came up with an idea and assigned it to the screenwriter.

"Hannibal" is adapted from a novel, so naturally the original author Thomas Harris was brought in, and two screenwriters were found, and the three of them started to work on it.

The show that Eric really needs to take charge of is "Breaking Bad". If this show is just given an idea, ordinary screenwriters really can't handle it and it needs to be polished.

On the set, Andrea praised: "Director, I'm glad to see you taking it so seriously. I was really afraid that you would just give up like you did in Blue Is the Warmest Color."

Eric chuckled: "How do you know what I'm thinking?"

"Um?"

He handed the director's microphone to Andrea: "You are in charge of the set for the next few days. I have something to take care of."

"Ah? Here we go again!"

"Haha. If you endure the most hardships, you will be able to endure more hardships. I will invest in you to make a short film. Come on!"

After making a big promise, Eric left the crew. He had to rush to Santa Barbara because Michael's trial was about to begin.

Thanks to Luciferhx for the 100-coin reward, and thanks to all the readers for their company.
