"Well...I'll treat you to dinner. You've been working hard lately. Don't be so stressed."

Alan said as he habitually patted Meryl's shoulder.

Meryl heard Alan's voice with her back turned and turned around quickly. Caught off guard, Meryl turned around and Alan patted her shoulder.

This shot...

Almost took the photo in the wrong place...

Alan withdrew his right hand as if nothing had happened and smiled at Meryl.

"Okay... I'll go remove my makeup first."

Meryl lifted her hair, nodded, and asked her assistant to remove her makeup first.

…

There are also manors in America, owned by various wealthy businessmen and big stars. Although Meryl does not have her own manor, she has her own mansion.

But when she first came to the Hill family's manor, she was still deeply shocked.

It’s not that the layout and decoration here are so gorgeous.

But it is the historical atmosphere here that is not found in America.

The manors in the two places are basically incomparable in terms of cultural attributes.

The Hill family's manor gives people a feeling of being in history. Walking all the way to the hall and looking at the decorations everywhere, although some things look a little old, Meryl still envy them a little.

"Your house... is really big..."

Meryl couldn't think of any words to praise this place. The only feeling she had was that it was huge.

Although the population in the manor has increased now, a manor that once served as a military station with only a few dozen people living in it would have appeared very spacious and large.

Alan smiled, walked in front, and guided Meryl to visit the first floor lobby.

Looking at these genuine old objects in the exhibition room, a heavy historical atmosphere is overwhelming.

Alan took Meryl through the procedures that every first-time guest should go through. He was not showing off. This approach was very normal here, to show strength and honor.

…

"Are you used to Chinese food?"

Alan picked up a piece of shrimp. He liked to eat something light at night. This dish was Longjing shrimp made by the master chef in the kitchen. It had a light taste but a very good texture.

"There is Chinatown in Los Angeles. Sometimes when I am tired from filming, I will go there to eat something to improve my taste."

Meryl was not surprised to see that Alan was able to use chopsticks skillfully. Although she was not proficient at it, today's dishes could be eaten with a knife and fork.

This is very thoughtful. As expected, as a big family, they are very considerate.

During all these days on the set, Meryl had only seen Alan's calm or working side. But when they had dinner together today, she felt the gentlemanly side of this old-fashioned aristocratic master.

…

After a dinner that seemed simple to Alan, he said hello and went to take a shower.

He didn't have much interest in Meryl. How could a man who had been harassed by love letters from the opposite sex since school care about a woman of this age?

Inviting her to dinner was just a way of showing sympathy for the employees.

The rest is up to the housekeeper.

…

Hut came to Meryl with a smile, bent down slightly and said, "Madam... do you need to rest for a while and have a cup of tea? Or take a bath now?"

"?"

After the meal, the master took a bath. The butler asked about the next step. Meryl, who had never come into contact with such an old noble, thought that this was the normal procedure. She followed Hut's question and said, "Then I will take a bath. Please."

"It's all as I should do. Follow me. This way, please..."

…

After taking a shower, Alan, who was tired after a day's work, untied his bathrobe, leaned against the head of the bed, crossed his legs, and picked up today's newspaper.

The closer we get to Christmas, the more things happen.

After this year, there will be a change of government next year. Looking at the clown-like competitors and Thatcher's people, both sides are using their own methods to make news.

Allen thought about his own film again. He worked harder to speed up the production schedule and strive to have it released next spring.

Spring...

All things are reviving, and it's time for animals to mate... And this kind of hormone-filled movie is the perfect combination of timing, location and people. Now other preliminary preparations are progressing steadily, and we are just waiting for his movie. By then, hey... maybe I can give the Prime Minister a hard time.

Although I have no grudge against her, times like this are more suitable for taking advantage of her popularity.

…

"Bang, bang, bang."

There was a gentle knock on the door from afar. Allen thought it was Hu Te who came for something, so he said softly without even raising his head, "Come in."

After waiting for a long time without hearing Hut's voice, Alan put down the newspaper, pinched his eyebrows, and looked towards the bedroom door with some confusion.

"???"

Meryl was wearing a light blue bathrobe with a floral pattern, and she was leaning quietly against the door frame of his bedroom.

Alan's first thought when he saw her was...why hasn't she left yet?

But it would be embarrassing to say such words at this time, in this place, and in this situation.

"Did you finish washing?"

"Um……"

Meryl saw that Alan finally looked at her, and she walked towards Alan's bed and loosened the straps of her bathrobe around her waist.

Alan looked at her like this...

You're here now.

…

Allen used to like to give acting guidance to some little girls at night.

But... after crossing over, although he had advantages innately, the old earl was strict and would not let him come here casually.

In a family like theirs, generally speaking, the children are brought up very strictly when they are young, but we don’t know what they will be like when they grow up.

But when we were young, we were definitely not allowed to do all kinds of miscellaneous things.

After joining the Royal Navy, I had a few experiences when the ship docked, but they were never satisfying.

now……

Facing this American girl in front of me, although she is a little older, age has its advantages. She knows a lot.

Alan didn't know how good Meryl's skills were before, but he will know soon, right?

…

More than half an hour later.

Alan let out a deep breath, pushed Meryl away, pulled the bell and called the maid.

Meryl felt a little embarrassed watching this scene. Although she sat still and waited for the makeup artist to put on her makeup, she felt a little embarrassed that at home...she needed the maid to help her take a bath and tidy up.

Alan hugged her, rubbed her with his right hand and said, "Go and clean up."

…

Normally when he is at home, he would rather lie down than sit, or sit than stand.

If he wasn't uncomfortable with being fed, he would have wanted to just open his mouth and wait to be fed.

Since he came here, not only has he been served by servants when he takes a shower, but even when he goes to the toilet, he has no problem with being served by maids.

…
