Chapter 51
The plot of this movie was simple and awful, and one could guess the ending by watching the beginning, but Diana Swift still watched it with special sincerity. After coming out of the theater, she took a picture of the ticket stub and sent it to the Moments to give a spoiler-free version of persuasion.
When she took the ticket stub, Josh Hunter happened to be standing on her right side, and the custom watch on his left wrist accidentally entered the shot. She noticed it when modifying the picture, but for some reasons, she didn't crop or block it, as if not noticing anything, and sent it directly.
At four o'clock in the morning, there were still many night owls who had not fallen asleep. Diana Swift's moment received hundreds of likes in less than five minutes.
Rein Garcia didn't sleep either and was playing outside with his friends. Seeing Diana Swift's Moments, he zoomed in on the picture and squinted to observe, suddenly his eyes lit up and smiled.
Rein Garcia: [Picture]
Rein Garcia: [Watching a movie with wife at four in the morning, Josh is awesome.]
Rein Garcia: [In the future, who will say that our Josh is a straight steel man who doesn't understand romance, I will be the first to fight against him. I am not bragging, but you can even get the first place in beer sales with the professionalism and business ability!]
Rein Garcia: [Nathan Jones, Mr. Jones, you should learn from Josh.]
Thay had a WeChat chat group, and the group owner was Nathan Jones.
Nathan Jones, Rein Garcia, and Eric Cook were active in normal days. Only Josh Hunter was silent, but very occasionally, he would also repost some current events and industry trends to the group.
At this Moments, Rein Garcia took a screenshot of Diana Swift's Moments and joked it in the group. Because no one was online in the dead of night, he would not be attacked.
Nathan Jones had a quarrel with Jean Lincoln tonight, so he behaved tactfully. He washed feet for her and got her asleep. He was on fire in his heart, and Rein Garcia happened to hit the gun and asked for humiliation, he naturally wouldn't miss this great opportunity.
Moreover, Nathan Jones had always been a loyal supporter of the modern burial system of "I'm not happy, so you all have to die". He kicked Rein Garcia out of the chat group without giving him a chance to argue.
This was not enough. He then caught Eric Cook, who was in his sleep and was unaware of all this, and carried out a humiliation, and finally it was Josh Hunter's turn.
--Maybe it was because he felt that when he was full of sarcasm, it was too lonely for no one to watch, and when it was Josh Hunter's turn, he even pulled Rein Garcia back.
Nathan Jones: [Josh Hunter, why you are watching a movie at four o'clock in the morning? If you have the ability, take your wife home and have sex. Don't hang around outside.]
Nathan Jones: [Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock, I still have to sign a contract with Rong Yue. Looking at you now, you won't be there. I am so unlucky to cooperate with a wife-centered person like you.]
Rein Garcia added a sentence at the right time.
Rein Garcia: [He's still hanging out so late, probably because he can't bring his wife home.]
Nathan Jones: [Yes, I guess he can't bring his wife home this year.]
They added each other, which seemed to be a bit of a reconcile.
"What are you looking at?" Diana Swift asked casually when she saw Josh Hunter staring at his phone when they got off the elevator.
Josh Hunter said softly: "Nothing. I saw that you just posted on the Moments."
Diana Swift remembered the picture she had posted, and was a little cautious, so she was too embarrassed to ask any more questions.
Josh Hunter lowered his eyelids and forwarded to the group a piece of financial news that Zax Investment Company, which he cooperated with Nathan Jones, and Rong Yue Technology had reached the third stage of strategic cooperation.
It was clearly written on the news that the signing ceremony was held in Canberra, Australia at 9:00 am on December 23rd. After careful calculation, it was already 43 hours ago.
Josh Hunter: [I am the one who is so unlucky.]
Josh Hunter: [The last sentence you said bounced back to yourself.]
Nathan Jones: [...]
Nathan Jones: [You are three years old? Bound back?]
The elevator had reached the first floor, and Josh Hunter did not reply then.
It was cold and windy in the middle of the night, and the car was still parked at west gate. Josh Hunter took off his jacket and put it on Diana Swift. They walked back to west gate side by side.
The night was dark at four in the morning in P City. Snow still occasionally slipped under the quiet streetlights, and a thick layer of fresh snow had accumulated on the ground.
Josh Hunter: "Are you sleepy?"
"A little bit." Diana Swift yawned unconsciously at this question.
After getting in the car, Josh Hunter glanced at the time and suggested plainly, "Go back to Moonshadow Mansion. I had a meeting in the morning, so I won't be able to sleep for long."
Diana Swift rubbed her seat belt and didn't answer immediately. She looked straight at the snow in front of her, as if she was thinking about something.
When the car started, she nodded reservedly, said reluctantly: "Since you have a meeting in the morning, then go to Moonshadow Mansion for one night."
"Um."
Josh Hunter turned the steering wheel and turned his head slightly to the driver's side window. From an angle that Diana Swift couldn't see, the corners of his lips went up and gently pulled down.
Diana Swift always felt uncomfortable after accepting it. She put down the back of her chair and lay back, "I'm a little sleepy. I will take a snap first."
Josh Hunter said "um" again, and reminded, "There is a blanket behind the seat."
Diana Swift stretched out her hand and pulled out one, neatly covering it on her body, and her hands were also folded on the lower abdomen.
She was obviously drowsy, but looking at the roof of the car, she couldn't fall asleep. On the one hand, she felt very satisfied watching the first snow with Josh Hunter for Christmas. On the other hand, when she recalled the hurtful words of Josh Hunter on the night before she left home, she felt bad to go back because he hadn't apologized to her.
The two thoughts were intertwined in her mind. She turned left and right but couldn't fall asleep, so she just sat up in the seat again.
"What's wrong?"
Diana Swift sat cross-legged on the chair and hugged a pillow with the unique taste of the 4S store. She thought for a while and said," Nothing. I just want to explain something to you. I didn't do anything to hurt you."
Josh Hunter glanced at her.
"Toby Hunter and I just had a simple meal, and I didn't notice that his appointment was Christmas Eve. He hugged me, but it's a hug between friends, you know?"
"OK, I know."
Josh Hunter responded indifferently.
Diana Swift looked at him eagerly.
OK? That's it?
He didn't seem to be jealous at all... Well, that's not the point. It's OK that he was not jealous, but as a quid pro quo, shouldn't he take the initiative to explain his affairs with Mandy Lee and then apologize to her? Why is this man like this?
Just when Diana Swift was thinking about whether to ask more clearly, Josh Hunter finally realized the deep meaning of her painstaking efforts.
The car passed over the bridge from Moonshadow Mansion to the center of the lake. He lowered his speed and said, "I didn't do anything to hurt you either."
Yes, it's finally here.
Not even hopeless!
Diana Swift sat up straight, intending to listen attentively.
But five seconds passed, ten seconds passed, thirty seconds passed, and Josh Hunter threw the steering wheel into the garage beautifully, and she couldn't know what happened.
When she got out of the car, she was still stunned, holding the ugly pillow in her hand all the way to the bedroom.
She went out for two meals that day and watched a movie in the middle of the night. Diana Swift wanted to ask Josh Hunter after shower, but the tangled thoughts could not overcome the tiredness of her body. As soon as she touched the pillow, she fell asleep unconsciously.
At the end of the year, Josh Hunter was busy with work and didn't have a good rest for many days. Once he finally spared half a day, he had to comfort Diana Swift.
Fortunately, he got her back, and he felt a little more relaxed. After shower, he went to bed on the other side, took Diana Swift into his arms, and fell asleep.
-
Diana Swift slept until two o'clock in the afternoon, and Josh Hunter went to work early.
She sat on the bed and rubbed her head, feeling a strange yet familiar intimacy to the bedroom she hadn't set foot in for many days.
Today was the Christmas, and there were naturally blessing messages from all directions on the mobile phone.
Diana Swift took a few glances, and suddenly saw the blessings and notices sent by the producer of " The Designer" program team, saying that the post-production of "The Designer" had been completed, and the program had been finalized, and it would be landing in the satellite TV of X City in mid-January.
They also told them that these amateur designers could apply for Weibo certification with program keywords in advance, and they could arrange for a quick pass.
Scheduled so soon?
It's too fast.
There are also Christmas wishes from Ivan Churchill from the same group and from Scott Rice from a different group.
After all, they were stars, and Diana Swift politely replied, "Merry Christmas".
But when she was replying to Scott Rice, Diana Swift recalled the words Scott Rice once said like a flash in his mind: "Actually, it's a pity. The producer said that it was originally arranged for me and you to be a group, but the sponsors had their own considerations, so the grouping arrangement was changed."
The sponsors had their considerations... At that time, Diana Swift didn't know that the sponsor of "The Designer" was Lux Hotel Group, and she wasn't interested in being in a group with Scott Rice at all, so he didn't care at all.
Now thinking about it carefully, is this arranged by Josh Hunter?
She couldn't help but sit up straighter, and after considering the words, she asked Scott Rice.
Star Scott Rice was quite idle, and the message returned almost in seconds, and the reply was a voice.
But Diana Swift wasn't interested in listening to his magnetic voice, so she turned it into words - Yes, the sponsors had their own designers. Many people knew that. Considering the sponsors, the program team may have some considerations in terms of lens editing. But it's inconvenient for me to say more about some things. Don't be disappointed, Miss Diana, gold will shine no matter where it is.
Diana Swift stared at the converted text, and a little flame of anger rose above her head.
Scott Rice said it in a quite euphemistic manner, but even a fool could also understand the meaning. Didn't he mean to tell her plainly: The show had an inside story, and Lux Hotel Group didn't want you to overpower the designer he admired, so you had to be prepared that there wouldn't be any shots in the end?!
Josh Hunter, a dead pig's hoof! She had worked hard for more than a month and if he dared to cut all her shots, she would dare to burn the Moonshadow Mansion!
The more Diana Swift thought about it, the angrier she became. She became even more angry when she thought that she went back foolishly with him last night before she heard an apology from him.
She jumped out of bed, washed up and went out. She instructed the driver with a blank face to send her back to Star Park.
When the driver heard that she was going to Star Park again, his scalp was a little numb, and he subconsciously wanted to send a message to Sam Rodriguez to report.
Diana Swift took a deep breath, kept her last calm and said, "I'm just going to get something, don't tell Sam Rodriguez."
-
In a small loft apartment of Star Park, Bonnie Smith just re-issued a door card from the property, and wanted to take advantage of this rare day of vacation to do a good cleaning.
She was humming while mopping the floor, and she was in a beautiful mood, thinking that she was really a little goddess, and the wave of operations last night was awesome.
It's not that she disliked Diana Swift. It's mainly because Diana Swift was really only suitable for eating and drinking together, not living together! It's so deadly! In this world, only Josh Hunter could unconditionally spend money to offer her love!
It was not five minutes after Bonnie Smith had been happy, when there was a sudden sound of a door card induction at the door.
"You... why did you come back?"
Bonnie Smith turned back, and after three seconds of stunned, her expression gradually stiffened.
Diana Swift sneered, "When did I say I was leaving? What expression do you had? Do you dislike me?!"
The desire to survive made Bonnie Smith shake her head frantically.
At the same time, Josh Hunter finished shopping for ingredients from the supermarket, and sat in the back seat of the car, closing his eyes and resting.
Today's short ribs were tender and fresh, and his little canary would love it.
