CHAPTER 66 – FRAGRANT FLOWER

After Al Pacino pretended to cluhini Diablo away fro for the day was over The crew had been working for close to eight hours

As long as it went on like this, Eric believed that they could wrap everything up in four weeks tiy to spare, he didn’t ask them to work overtime

In Europe, overtime hours are frowned upon It’s basically impossible to have Europeans work overtime, and in some countries, they even put restrictions on the coh taxes on them To have Ah up et the labor union on your tail

In accordance to what had initially been decided, once the shoot was done, the party to celebrate the start of the fil finally started

Melodious and soothing music resounded over the room, and Eric politely turned down the invitations to dance of several beautiful wo to sit on a sofa in the corner of the roo schedule with Jeffrey, and as he glanced at the dance floor out of the corner of his eye, his sights soon stopped on Julia and Al dancing together

Julia had quit her job as a waitress, and after receiving a down payment of her paycheck, had followed Eric’s earlier advice and moved into an apartment in Beverly Hills

Although she didn’t have any scenes today, the girl was still actively doing her best, offering her services to the crew if they needed it, and even seeking out Al to rehearse some of their mutual lines

Eric was very pleased with Julia’s attitude, considering that, besides the assistant as assigned to her, the agency hadn’t given her any preferential treatment

Actually, even Al Pacino hadn’t received any, he came to work in his own car and left likewise In order to save up budget, the crew had only rented a trailer for the actors to put makeup on and dress up Obviously, this was only a one-ti, when the two actors would shoot their next movie, they would definitely not receive this kind of ‘cheap’ treatment

Jeffrey, as chatting with Eric, found the ht and quickly grasped the object of his focus

“You’re not jealous, are you Eric ?”Jeffrey playfully said, he was all too clear about what had happened between his friend and the young woman

Eric shook his head Since he did have an intimate relationshi+p with Julia, it was i with Al like a pair of even-matched lovers

However, he didn’t intend to claiirl, she was simply not his type Eric, you see, was a senior member of the ‘Appearances DO matter’ club, and to him, Julia had simply not reached his required standards of beauty, yet

“I’ with each other” Eric casually said, “Look, only one week has passed since they’ve been introduced to each other, and they’re already getting along Don’t you think they’ve got great chemistry ?”

At Eric’s words, Jeffrey looked back at the dance floor Julia and Al Pacino hispering and gazing into each other’s eyes, appearing every bit like a loving couple

“It does indeed look like it Eric, do you think that Julia will fall fo

r Al once the shooting is over ?”

As he thought of Julia’s past passionate and sensitive personality, he said: “It’s possible, but Al will definitely not hunant after all”

Al Pacino was a definite playboy, but he was also a skilled and wise one In Eric’s past, only toiven birth to his children

If it had been before, Al ht have started a relationshi+p with Julia However, noas unlikely to happen The irlfriend was pregnant – so at this tie

If it had only been Eric watching, perhaps Julia wouldn’t have realized, but now Jeffrey had also joined hi at the couple dancing Julia noticed theraciously smiled to the two men

Julia felt inexplicable apprehension at being in theto hi her way towards Eric

Al Pacino didn’t ed and soon found another companion

“What’s up Julia ?” Eric curiously asked

“Just a little tired” Julia took a glass of cha towards Eric, she asked: “What were you two talking about ?”

Jeffrey took the initiative to reply with a sht there was a chance you’d fall in love with Al by the end of the shoot”

“Ha ?”

Eric quickly interrupted Jeffrey: “Don’t listen to his nonsense, Julia, he’s just bored We were just saying that the shooting would probably proceed srasped your characters”

“Oh” Julia absentne, and asked: “Are you going to dance, Eric ?…”

Eric looked at his watch and said: “Nope, I have to leave soon”

Jeffrey said: “What, why ? You should enjoy a little more, we’ll be so busy for a while”

Eric stood up, smiled and said: “The first episode of Jenny’s TV show is aired today, she called me earlier to tell me not to miss it It’ll be on soon”
