King of Hollywood-Chapter 211 - 211 Reaction
Chapter 211: Chapter 211 Reaction Chapter 211 -211 Reaction Cradling her cheeks, Natalie had been sitting on the toilet for quite a while, feeling the coolness settling on her butt, before she finally sighed and straightened up, then started tidying things up reluctantly. As she carefully sketched the image in her mind, Monica’s figure was indeed outstanding. Even though the white chef’s outfit wrapped her tightly, it couldn’t hide her proud curves. Even if she wasn’t especially beautiful, she possessed a sensual charm of a thousand styles.
“Damn it, Nata, what the hell are you thinking about?” The girl massaged her own cheeks and waited for the sound of the toilet flushing to fade away before dropping her hands and letting out a long breath. She felt that she’d become somewhat strange, always thinking about odd things, which had started from the moment she’d arrived on the set of “No Reservations”… Well, to be exact, it had started after she saw Adrian and Monica being very intimate.

Wait a minute, Nata! You can’t be… God, this is too ridiculous, I must be out of my mind to even consider this. Natalie suddenly burst into laughter, took a deep breath, and after patting her chest, she managed to calm her fluttering heart.
Just as she wanted to leave, a loud bang came from the door, as if someone had bumped into the restroom, scaring her immensely. Then, another heavy thud, the door was closed again, followed by the rustling and clicking sounds, as well as the chaotic footsteps and the tingling of high heels against the floor.
At first, Natalie didn’t understand what was happening, only furrowing her brow, while a blush unknowingly crept onto her face. As the heavy, intermittent breaths started to sound, she immediately realized what was happening, the blush on her cheeks deepened, and she clenched her teeth.
Just as she thought about clearing her throat to remind the people outside, she suddenly froze, not knowing what to do, because the man’s voice had already begun to sound: “Oh, Monica, I have to admit, your body is just too beautiful, truly in the prime of womanhood.”
“You always say that sort of thing, Ed, I don’t believe you,” the woman giggled, followed by more gasps, “Are you sure… here… oh… is appropriate?”
“I’ve checked, no one comes in, besides, the door is already locked, and I’ve hung the ‘Cleaning in Progress’ sign outside, so no one will come,” the man said cheekily, “We have at least 20 minutes.”
“You just like these…” The woman seemed about to say something else, but then just made whining sounds.
Natalie, standing in the stall, had an extremely unsightly expression on her face. The man’s voice was so familiar; of course, she wouldn’t fail to recognize it. And if she could identify the man, guessing who the woman was wasn’t difficult. Although her expression was so unsightly, her cheeks were paradoxically red, making her look very bizarre.
No… it shouldn’t be him… but… the sounds outside grew louder, tantalizing the girl’s heartstrings. She really wanted to cover her ears and ignore those disgusting sounds, but aside from her breathing growing rougher, she remained motionless.
Her blush became more intense, almost as if it were dripping with water, and tortured by her conflicted heart, Natalie finally placed her hand on the partition door and gently pushed open a crack.
The scene outside immediately made her cover her mouth, and her last shred of hope collapsed, with a surge of shame and anger flooding into her heart. The girl turned her head sharply, biting her lip and closing her eyes to avoid looking at the embarrassing scene, but after a few seconds, she involuntarily turned her head back, gripping her mouth tightly, her eyes hazy as she stared unblinkingly at the man and woman outside who were changing positions and colliding intensely.
Especially when Monica, after clutching the person intensely for a while, then faced Adrian in front of the washbasin, the girl inside the stall widened her eyes, covered her mouth, and slumped down as if her soul had left her body.
And the two people outside, still intense, seemed to have no idea that someone else was in the restroom!
================================
“Mandy is a pretty good director, I didn’t make a mistake in choosing her,” Adrian said on the way back, flipping through the copied continuity reports and some related materials while sitting in his seat.
“Charli, have Los Angeles fax me a more detailed profile of Mandy,” he said, looking at his gorgeous secretary who was still working by his side in the passenger seat.
“All of it?” Charlize turned her head to ask, her tone neutral, no different from when she first took on the job, any earlier coldness or deliberate avoidance completely disappeared.
“Yes, all of it,” Adrian replied while stroking his chin, knowing that if the guy was worth cultivating, he didn’t mind putting in some effort. There were many outstanding directors buried in Hollywood, aside from scouting those who had yet to make it big, deliberate cultivation was also his intention.
Having finished this, he looked over at Natalie sitting beside him. Ever since they left the set of “No Reservations,” the girl had been listless and had consistently maintained a certain distance from him unconsciously, like now, curled up on the far right, leaning against the car door, not wanting any contact with him.
“Is something wrong, Nata?” Adrian asked at this moment.
“Eh? What?” Natalie startled, then shook her head rapidly, “No, nothing’s wrong, nothing at all.”
She lowered her head as she spoke, seemingly reluctant even to glance at Adrian.
“Really, nothing’s wrong?” Adrian emphasized, wanting to reach out and touch her head like he used to. But as soon as he lifted his hand, Natalie jerked back, looking at him with somewhat hysterical eyes.
Adrian kept his posture and didn’t move, just looking at the girl with a puzzled expression. The girl quickly recovered, squeezing out a strained smile on her delicate face, “Sorry, I… remembered some things, so I’m a bit… sensitive…”
“It’s okay, everyone has sensitive moments.” Adrian nodded, dropped his hand, sat back, and said no more.
The atmosphere in the car began to grow a bit strange. Adrian sat with his arms crossed, eyes slightly narrowed, while Natalie hung her head and occasionally gazed absentmindedly out the window. Charlize in the front seat occasionally lifted her eyes to glance at the rearview mirror. As for the driver Glover, well, it didn’t concern him. Fortunately, this tension didn’t last too long. After dropping Natalie off at her home in Long Island, the atmosphere eased. However, the usually polite Natalie, for the first time, rushed into the house without any greeting, leaving Adrian embarrassed for a long while as he stared at her retreating back before telling the driver to leave.
“You wouldn’t have done something to that little girl, would you?” Back at his apartment in Brooklyn, Charlize poured him a glass of water and teased him in a joking tone.
“How could I possibly?” Adrian took the glass with a look of dissatisfaction.
“Generally speaking, you are always unreliable in these matters.” Charlize continued to tease him, intending to mock him a bit more. Unexpectedly, Adrian didn’t discuss it with her. Instead, he pulled her into his arms and slapped her buttocks with a smack, then gave them a squeeze.
“Ed!” Charlize called out in annoyance right away.
“What’s the matter?” Adrian feigned ignorance, looking at her without lessening the force of his hand.
“We had an agreement!” Charlize glared at him hatefully, yet did not try to push his hand away.
“Yes, yes, I know, I can come to you when you need, but I can’t come to you when I need, which is really unfair,” Adrian sighed exaggeratedly.
“You’re not without other women!” Charlize immediately retorted, her gnashing teeth as if it were a miracle she hadn’t lunged at him to take a bite out of his flesh. Even so, she still didn’t remove his hand.
“Alright, but it wasn’t stated that I couldn’t…” Adrian chuckled and squeezed again.
Charlize’s complexion shifted abruptly, and she turned her head away to look elsewhere, no longer speaking. Seeing her like this, Adrian stopped taking advantage and with a pat on her buttocks, released his hand. “Schedule tomorrow’s itinerary, take a rest, and later we’ll go out for dinner, there’s a nice French restaurant on 34th Street in Manhattan.”
“Unfortunately, Ed, I’m not interested,” Charlize said as she stood up, casting a lofty glance at him before returning to her own room.
Adrian shook his head with a wry smile and then thought about the arrangement he’d made with her before. It made him smile all the more. Charlize had actually made such a deal with him: if she was in need, she could come to him for help, but he couldn’t turn to her if he was in need. It was a completely unequal treaty!
But he had agreed, and the reason for that, needless to say, was clear by his actions just now.
After taking a big gulp of water, his thoughts shifted to Natalie. Considering how she’d acted on the drive back, Adrian’s brow furrowed slightly. Had he gone too far?
How could he not have noticed Natalie’s situation? In fact, he was the one who orchestrated her visit to the “No Reservations” film set. Since he’d declared he wanted to win her, he naturally would use all means at his disposal, just that…
Never mind, no need to overthink it, Natalie is not your average girl. Adrian thought, pinching his fingers. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized how exceptional she was, and his desire to win her grew stronger.
Shaking his head, he didn’t dwell on the issue anymore and his thoughts turned to Monica’s fiery body. As he had said before, she was in the prime of womanhood, outstanding in every aspect, especially that she was still in the restroom, and in that restroom…
Adrian got up, stretched lazily, and started pondering how he would tease Charlize later. He always found it amusing to see her annoyed and helpless or feigning indifference.
Lost in his fanciful thoughts, Adrian definitely didn’t expect that he might have somewhat overestimated Natalie.
