Chapter 1524: Psychological Preparation
... No Next Time?
What does this mean?
Before Lawrence had time to chew on Gawain's words, she immediately noticed that Gawain was about to leave again. This time, before Gawain turned around, she took the lead and said, "There will be a party after the premiere tonight. Tom is preparing it. David will also go there. Don't you want to come?"
Gawain shook his head. "Sorry, although I am full of curiosity, unfortunately, I still need to train tomorrow. As usual, now is the time for me to relax and then prepare for rest. You can imagine the retirement life of an eighty-year-old. This is probably my schedule."
Puff.
Lawrence was amused by Gawain's vivid words. "If you hadn't said it, I would have almost forgotten that you are a professional player."
Gao Wen was surprised. "I thought my performance on the red carpet today had already proved this. Otherwise, I would have already run to the corner and hid."
Obviously, this is a complaint that all the other actors are just show-offs. They may be omnipotent superheroes on the big screen, but they are just ordinary people with fancy moves in real life. However, they don't know that Gowen's words hurt a group of people. Just imagine the chaotic scene on the red carpet, and the sense of humor will come to you.
If you think about the complaints about superhero movies, you will understand it more deeply.
"Haha." Lawrence laughed happily again, without realizing it, his heavy mood had completely relaxed.
But Gao Wen didn't stay any longer. "In order to avoid being forgotten in the taxi and caught by paparazzi because of falling asleep, I still need to leave before I doze off."
After saying this, Gawain turned around, but he stopped just as he started walking.
Lawrence himself did not realize that his heart suddenly beat high, and an indescribable joy and happiness gushed out. He was eager to go forward and talk to Gawain, and his eyes brightened.
However.
Gawain did not look at Lawrence, but turned to look at the waiter, "I'm sorry for causing all this chaos today, I think..."
Gao Wen looked a little embarrassed because he really didn't know what to do with the tip.
Like in the UK and the US, these waiters receive a basic salary. Service charges are not included in their wages, and tips are their main source of income.
Strictly speaking, in a restaurant, a waiter's salary may be higher than that of a restaurant manager, because the restaurant manager receives a fixed salary, while the waiter only receives the official minimum hourly wage, but relies entirely on tips. If the restaurant has a high customer flow, it is common for the waiter to earn more salary through tips.
Gao Wen knew the importance of tips to these service industry workers, but he didn't know how to deal with the situation before him.
The waiter was also a little stunned and failed to react immediately.
The next second, the waiter saw Gao Wen start to search his trouser pockets. He realized what was going on and quickly waved his hand, "It doesn't matter..."
Before he could continue his words, the waiter saw Gawain's face full of disbelief, so much so that his voice was stuck, and then he saw Gawain slowly taking out two banknotes from his trouser pocket.
cash!
It can be seen from the astonishment and surprise in their eyes that Gawain doesn't know how they appeared here.
Gawain was slightly stunned, then reacted a little late. It should be Tobias. After all, Tobias was already a veteran in these situations.
"Ha." Gawain smiled broadly. "It seems I don't need to worry anymore. I'm very sorry, but thank you very much."
As he said that, Gawain put two pieces of cash into the waiter's palm.
One hundred pounds in cash, two notes.
The waiter stared at the banknotes in his palm with his mouth wide open, his heart pounding. The words of refusal were on the tip of his tongue, but he saw Gawain make a "hush" gesture again.
It was supposed to be hush money, but from the teasing and mocking look in Gawain's eyes, it could be seen that this was obviously a well-intentioned "hush money", so much so that the waiter couldn't help but smile, and thinking back to what had just happened, he was in high spirits.
So, he knew he shouldn't do this, but he still raised his hand and made a gesture of sealing his mouth with a zipper, indicating that he was willing to keep it secret; then he deliberately wiped the two banknotes, folded them neatly, and stuffed them into his pocket, as if he was handling "dirty money".
There is a tacit understanding between us that is known to both of us.
After that, Gawain did not stay any longer. He signaled to the waiter and Lawrence with his eyes, then turned and left.
LAWRENCE: …
She was a little dumbfounded, she didn't expect Gawain to come back for the tip, nor did she expect that there was a tacit understanding between Gawain and the waiter. The words that tried to save Gawain surged in her throat, but she couldn't find a suitable way to express it, and kept going around in circles over and over again.
Noticing Gawain's smiling greeting, Lawrence quickly returned a smile, but in the end he was unable to speak. Gawain walked straight out of the bathroom and left.
Lawrence stood there in a daze, his eyes revealing a reluctance to leave. He was immersed in his own thoughts, unable to extricate himself. For a moment, he could not tell what he was thinking about. There were countless thoughts surging in his mind, but it was all a mess without a clear concept.
“Uh…”
Lawrence was a little annoyed and irritated, and he let out a low cry, then he was a little slow to notice that he was not alone.
Although the waiter kept his head down the whole time, trying to keep a low profile and reduce his presence, Lawrence still noticed it.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The first reaction is that this person witnessed everything that just happened, so is it necessary to silence him?
The second reaction is -
This waiter is a gentleman.
"ah!"
Lawrence exclaimed, and only then realized that she and Gawain had just been standing in the men's bathroom talking for so long?
And Gawain had already turned around and left, but she was still in the men's bathroom, thinking about random things, blushing and palpitating. What on earth was she doing! "Ahem."
Lawrence coughed twice, pretended to be calm, nodded to the waiter gracefully, and left calmly.
Although she remained calm on the surface, her embarrassment could still be seen as she took a series of small steps that were as quick as shrinking the distance and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After leaving the men's bathroom, Lawrence finally calmed down.
Paparazzi.
The friendly advice she just gave to Gawain was not nonsense. Lawrence knew that the paparazzi would not give up. They were like chewing gum that could not be shaken off. Whether she was willing or not, the paparazzi would follow her closely in the next few days. Therefore, she needed to stay calm, otherwise the same situation would happen again.
She needs to prepare herself mentally.
Quickly collecting her thoughts and regaining her rationality, Lawrence looked around and walked quickly towards the screening room. She needed to find her agent first.
