Vol 2 Chapter 503: Scarlett

The banquet hall of the Duke’s Manor was brightly lit, and even though it was approaching midnight, there was still a loud voice. The members of the cast of the Lord of the Rings, Duke’s family and friends, only showed up briefly at the Vanity Fair party, and they all rushed. Here comes Malibu.
As the biggest winner tonight, Duke was the object of congratulations from everyone, and the object of drinking. Although there is no such thing as persuading alcohol, others enthusiastically come over to congratulate, and it is impossible for Duke to not drink at all.
Among these people are activists like Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd, who will make Duke drink a few more drinks from time to time.
Even if it was only Champagne, with Duke's poor amount of alcohol, it didn't take long for the party to start, and it felt a little drunk.
But these people did not let him off. Leonardo DiCaprio took the lead, Sofia Coppola assisted, seized the best opportunity, and obviously wanted to get Duke drunk.
"Leo, Sophia..."
Duke put down the empty glass and said nothing to pick up another glass from Sophia? Coppola said, "You can't drink anymore, if you don't want to see me fall."
"My dear, now is the most celebrated moment." Sophia Coppola didn't let him go, "After today, there will be no such opportunity in the future."
Leonardo continued, "You only drank four glasses together."
"He really will get drunk again." Ivanka said.
Duke also shook his head firmly, Sophia and Leonardo looked at each other and left the table.
They just left, and someone came over again. Even if this land does not pay attention to drinking and meeting friends, in some entertainment, others raise a glass to you. It is impossible to refuse completely, it is very rude.
As the host of the banquet, these entertainment Duke are inevitable.
"Hi, Duke."
A familiar voice sounded from the side, and Scarlett Johansson in a light green dress came over unhurriedly. She arrived here earlier than Duke. Once the award ceremony was over, she accompanied Mrs. Leah back to the manor.
"Congratulations, Duke."
She walked across from Duke with her glass, raised her head, and drank all.
Holding up the champagne in his hand, Duke only slightly touched his lips. Scarlett immediately said dissatisfied when he saw it, "Hey, hey. Duke, if I know how much you drink, can't you accompany me for a drink? ?"
"I'll be with you." Ivanka said actively.
Scarlett didn't even think about it, and shook her head, "I was drinking with Duke when I was less than ten years old. I know more about how much he can drink than you."
Ivanka turned her head slightly. Taking a look at Duke, there are some things that you can't see, so you don't need to care. But tonight, she saw too much, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Alexandra Ambrosio, Madonna Siconi, Shania Dunn, Nao M Watts, Catherine Zeta Jones...
These people all walked past her, as if when she did not exist, greeted Duke enthusiastically. Some things in the past did not seem to be the past at all.
She is not a member of Hollywood. Can't understand why the ecological environment in this circle is so chaotic?
She is really happy that Duke can get the best director, but she always feels a little uncomfortable in her heart since walking the red carpet.
Even when she came back alone, she had an idea. Those women are so enthusiastic with Duke, do they still keep in touch with him in private?
Ivanka knew the horror of this idea, but only slightly appeared, and quickly threw it behind her head.
"Evie, do you know?" Scarlett’s tone showed off with a hint that only women could understand. "The first time I drank, I was with Duke. The first time I made a movie was with Duke. together……"
Hearing the second sentence, even though Duke's brain reaction was a little slow due to drinking too much, he was roughly aware of her weird tone, and couldn't help but turn to sternly like in the past years, "Scarlett!"
As soon as this sentence came out, Scarlett's conditioned reflexes were normal, and her head slightly lowered, "Well, I'll shut up."
After that, she wanted to have a glass of wine and toast to Duke and Ivanka at the same time, "I respect you both."
Duke and Ivanka both picked up their glasses and took a sip, Scarlett drank it again, and then Shi Shiran walked to the other side.
Feeling the upsurge of alcohol and seeing someone coming here again, Duke said helplessly, "I'm going to see if Mom is asleep."
"Yeah." Ivanka nodded, knowing that Duke was just talking about a reason to deal with those people.
Walking out of the banquet hall, Duke turned to the next lounge and stayed in the bathroom inside for a while. When he came out, he wiped his mouth with a tissue. Although he felt better in his stomach, his head became groggy.
Fortunately, only this night...
He sighed, and there won't be many such opportunities in the future.
For alcohol, he has no hobbies, or even like it. If it weren't for this kind of occasion, under normal circumstances, he would not touch it.
He sighed gently in the palm of his hand, Duke sniffed it, and shook his head, walked out of the lounge, entered the stairwell, and went directly to a bathroom on the second floor to find toothpaste and toothbrushes, and plan to wash briefly.
In the banquet hall, Ivanka was surrounded by many people, but she was an outsider, not familiar with these actors and the like, just talking with her.
Not far away, Scarlett Johansson put down her wine glass and slipped out of the banquet hall silently. She met Duke when she was less than ten years old, and at the beginning, the relationship between the two parties was quite good. Although she was slightly estranged in the future, because of her godmother, she often came to this manor and even knew Duke's behaviors well.
When Duke left the banquet hall, Scarlett knew very well that he must have found a place to spit alcohol.
And according to Duke's habit, he will never come back directly after vomiting. He will definitely wash or change clothes. He is rarely rude in public.
The banquet hall is 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 on the door and listened for a few seconds, then left the door, leaning against the wall of the corridor, and waited near the door.
She is no longer a teenage girl, knowing that there are things she can't wait for. Must rely on grabbing.
It’s not that there are no people pursuing her inside and outside the circle, but Scarlett has no interest in those hairy boys. Since childhood, there has been such a tall person in front of them. Those who think they are smart, but are actually stupid like a donkey. Guy, it will only bore her.
And as she got older, Scarlett also discovered some of her own psychological changes, and it was definitely not those young people who could arouse her favor. Instead, she was a lot older than her.
For example, the guy in the bathroom.
Thinking of this, Scarlett suddenly scratched her face and threw all these on the head of the guy in the bathroom. If it weren't for him, how could this happen to herself?
After brushing his teeth, Duke looked in the mirror and looked at his dress. There are some water stains on it. I don't know when the party tonight will end. Decided to go back to the room and change clothes.
In the banquet hall, Ivanka finished socializing, and when the people around him gradually dispersed, she was a little relieved. Fortunately, these people were either friends of Duke or members of the work team, or actors from the cast of the Lord of the Rings. . Those who would embarrass her, such as Alexandra Ambrosio, did not show up.
Ivanka knows very well that those people are definitely not taking the initiative to avoid her. There are countless women in Hollywood who want to walk into this manor. This should be specially arranged by Duke.
Thinking of Duke's performance by her side, Ivanka couldn't help but feel that she must have been thinking too much. Perhaps the two often separated because of their work relationship, but when they were together, Duke showed enough attention to her.
"Not back yet?"
After looking at her watch, Ivanka beckoned to the butler Emma, ​​and 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 him, there was no one inside. Ivanka went up the stairs, stepped on the thick carpet, and walked upstairs.
Shaking his swollen head, Duke made himself a little more sober. Although the degree of champagne is not too high, it will also be intoxicating.
Opened the bathroom door, Duke walked out, his eyes immediately saw a familiar figure, leaning on the wall of the corridor.
Scarlett Johansson looked at Duke, whose steps were not steady, his face was a little red, his eyes were not as bright as before, and he was obviously drunk.
"Scarlett, why did you come up..."
"You drank too much, I'll come and see you."
Scarlett Johansson walked over immediately, she was so fast, she didn't even wait for the drunk Duke to say the second sentence, and she had already come to him.
It seems that I have rehearsed in my mind countless times just now. Scarlett grabbed Duke's arms with both arms. She almost didn't need to stand on tiptoe when stepping on Heng Tian Gao, but she 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 the chest seemed to arouse the instinct of a drunk man, even when Scarlett pressed his lower body, he didn't do it. Any dodge.
Scarlett closed her eyes and used her somewhat young kiss skills to awaken the beast in the man's heart as much as possible.
Everything she saw and heard since she was a child, she told her clearly that in the heart of the man who looked at her as a mountain opposite, there should be countless beasts that were temporarily suppressed.
A soft tongue glided across his lips. It was a strange breath. Duke's dizzy head suddenly awoke. He tried to open his hazy eyes and saw Scarlett's golden curly 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, but with a little effort, he opened Scarlett's winding and slightly opened the distance between the two sides.
Just before he waited to question anything, a figure suddenly turned in the direction of the stairs. (To be continued...)
