Made in Hollywood

The banquet hall of Duke's Manor was brightly lit. Although it was almost midnight, there was still a lot of people. The members of the Lord of the Rings crew and Duke's relatives and friends only showed up briefly at the Vanity Fair party, and they all rushed Here comes Malibu.

As the biggest winner tonight, Duke is the object of congratulations by everyone and the object of drinking. Although there is no emphasis on persuading people to drink, but when others come to clink their glasses to congratulate, Duke cannot drink at all.

Among them were activists like Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd, who occasionally hooted Duke for a few more drinks.

Even if it was just champagne, with Duke's poor drinking capacity, not long after the banquet started, he felt a little drunk.

But these people didn't want to let him go. Leonardo DiCaprio took the lead, Sofia Coppola assisted, seized this best opportunity, and obviously wanted to get Duke drunk.

"Leo, Sophia..."

Duke put down the empty glass and said nothing to take another glass from Sofia Coppola, "No more, if you don't want to see me fall."

"My dear, now is the most congratulatory moment." Sofia Coppola didn't let him go. "After today, there will be no such opportunity in the future."

Leonardo went on to say, "You only drank four glasses together."

"He's really going to be drunk again," Ivanka said.

Duke also shook his head firmly, Sofia and Leonardo looked at each other and left the table.

As soon as they left, someone came over. Even if you don't pay attention to meeting friends with drinks, in some social events, others raise a glass to you. It is impossible to refuse completely, it is very rude.

As the host of the banquet, these entertainment Dukes are also inevitable.

"Hi, Duke."

A familiar voice sounded from the side, and Scarlett Johansson in a light green dress walked over unhurriedly. She arrived here earlier than Duke. As soon as the award ceremony was over, he accompanied Mrs. Leah back to the manor.

"Congratulations, Duke."

She walked across to Duke with her glass in hand, raised it to him, raised her head and drank it all.

Picking up the champagne in his hand, Duke just lightly dipped his lips. When Scarlett saw it, he immediately said dissatisfiedly, "Hey hey hey. Duke, I know your drinker, so can't you accompany me for a drink? ?"

"I'll accompany you." Ivanka took the initiative to speak.

Scarlett didn't even think about it, just shook her head, "I was drinking with Duke when I was less than ten years old. I know better than you how much he can drink."

Ivanka turned her head slightly. Glancing at Duke, I don't care if you can't see some things. But tonight, she saw too much, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Alessandra Ambrosio, Madonna Ciccone, Shania Twain, Nao Mi Watts, Catherine Zeta-Jones...

These people all walked past her as if she didn't exist, greeting Duke warmly. Some things in the past didn't seem to be the past at all.

She's not part of Hollywood. I can't understand why the ecological environment in this circle is so chaotic?

She is really happy that Duke can win the best director, but from the red carpet to now, she always feels a little uncomfortable in her heart.

Even when she came back alone, she had an idea. Those women were so intimately connected to Duke, were they still in private contact with him?

Ivanka knew how terrifying this idea was, but she just threw it to the back of her head.

"Evie, do you know?" Scarlett's tone contained a hint of bragging that only women could understand, "The first time I drank was with Duke. The first time I made a movie was with Duke. Together……"

Hearing the second sentence, even though Duke's head was a little slow to respond because he drank too much, he could roughly sense her strange tone, and he couldn't help but turn his tone to sternly like in the past years, "Scarlett!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Scarlett's conditioned reflex was normal, and her head lowered slightly, "Okay, I'll shut up."

After she finished speaking, she asked for a glass of wine and toasted Duke and Ivanka at the same time, "I toast you both."

Duke and Ivanka both took a sip from their glasses, Scarlett drank it again, and then Shi Shiran walked to the other side.

Feeling the rush of alcohol, and seeing someone walking towards this side, Duke said helplessly, "I'm going to see if Mommy is sleeping."

"Well." Ivanka nodded, understanding that Duke was just making a random reason to deal with those people.

After walking out of the banquet hall, Duke turned into the lounge next to him and stayed in the bathroom for a while. When he came out, he wiped his mouth lightly with a tissue. Although his stomach felt better, his head began to feel groggy.

Fortunately, only this night...

He sighed, and there won't be a few more opportunities like this in the future.

For alcohol, he has no hobby, not even a liking. If it weren't for this occasion, under normal circumstances, he would not touch it.

Gently sighing in the palm of his hand, Duke sniffed it, shook his head, walked out of the lounge, entered the stairwell, and went directly to a bathroom on the second floor, found toothpaste and toothbrush, and planned to take a simple shower.

In the banquet hall, Ivanka was surrounded by many people, but she was an outsider, and she was not familiar with these actors and the like, and was just talking with her.

Not far away, Scarlett Johansson put down her glass and slipped out of the banquet hall quietly. She had known Duke when she was less than ten years old, and at the beginning, the relationship between the two sides was quite good. Although she was slightly estranged in the future, due to her godmother, she often came to this manor and even knew some of Duke's behaviors.

When Duke left the banquet hall, Scarlett knew very well that he must be looking for a place to spit alcohol.

And with Duke's habit, he would never come back directly after vomiting, he would definitely go to wash or change his clothes, and he was rarely rude in public.

The banquet hall is located on the first floor. After Scarlett came out, she estimated the time, instead of going to the lounge next to her, she turned to the stairwell and went straight up the stairs. I found the dedicated bathroom on the second floor, put my ear to the door for a few seconds, then left the door, leaned my back against the wall of the corridor, and waited near the door.

She was no longer a teenage girl, and knew that some things could not wait. Must be robbed.

It's not that there are no people who pursue her inside and outside the circle, but Scarlett has no interest in those hairy boys. She has had such a tall person in front of her since she was a child. Those who think they are very smart are actually stupid like donkeys. Dude, it just bores her.

And as she got older, Scarlett also discovered some psychological changes in herself, and it was definitely not those young people who could arouse her goodwill. Instead, it was someone much older than her.

Like, the guy in the bathroom.

Thinking of this, Scarlett scratched her face suddenly and threw all these on the head of the guy in the bathroom. If it wasn't for him, how could this happen to him?

After brushing his teeth, Duke looked in the mirror at his dress. There are some water stains on it, and I don't know when tonight's party will end. Decided to go back to the room to change clothes.

In the banquet hall, Ivanka finished socializing, and when the people around her gradually dispersed, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, these people were either Duke's friends or members of the work team, or actors from the Lord of the Rings crew. . None of the people who would have embarrassed her, like Alessandra Ambrosio, showed up.

Ivanka is very clear that those people are definitely not actively avoiding her, and there are countless women in Hollywood who want to walk into this manor. This should be a deliberate arrangement by Duke.

Thinking of Duke's performance by her side, Ivanka couldn't help feeling that she must be thinking too much. Maybe the two often separated because of work, but when they were together, Duke showed enough attention to her.

"You haven't come back yet?"

Looking at the watch, Ivanka beckoned to call the housekeeper Emma. After a few simple instructions, she walked out of the banquet hall. She knew that Duke was not drinking well and wanted to see him.

Pushing the door into the lounge next to it, there was no one in it. Ivanka went up the stairs, stepped on the thick carpet, and walked upstairs.

Shaking his swollen head, Duke made himself a little sober. Although the degree of champagne was not too high, it was equally intoxicating.

Opening the bathroom door, Duke walked out, and his eyes immediately saw a familiar figure leaning against the wall of the corridor.

Scarlett Johansson looked at Duke, who was unsteady on his feet. His face was a little red, and his eyes were not as bright as before, with obvious drunkenness.

"Scarlett, why did you come up..."

"You've been drinking too much, I'll come and see you."

Scarlett Johansson came over immediately, her speed was very fast, and before the drunken Duke could say the second sentence, she had come to him.

It seemed that she had rehearsed countless times in her mind just now. Scarlett grabbed Duke's arms with both arms. She almost didn't need to tiptoe when she stepped on the sky high, but just raised her head and kissed Duke's lips.

Because of the alcohol, Duke's reaction was a little slow, and the fiery kiss and the extra soft towering on his chest seemed to awaken the instinct of a drunk man. Even when Scarlett put his lower body on, he did not do anything out of any dodge.

Scarlett closed her eyes and used her green kissing skills to try her best to wake up the beast in the heart of the man opposite.

What she has seen and heard since she was a child, she told her clearly that there should be countless beasts that were temporarily suppressed in the heart of the man who turned into a mountain.

A soft tongue slid lightly from his lips, this was a very unfamiliar aura, Duke's drowsy head suddenly sobered up, he tried to open his hazy eyes, and what he saw was Scarlett's curly golden hair.

He leaned back slightly, trying to distance himself from Scarlett Johansson, "Scarlett!"

Duke is a man after all. Although he feels very good now, with a little force, he opened Scarlett's entanglement and slightly opened the distance between the two sides.

Just before he could ask anything, a figure suddenly turned in the direction of the stairway. (To be continued..)
