Chapter 31: Father's troubles

"Hi baby, how about our family going to a movie tonight." Jared put down his newspaper and smiled at Angela, who was eating breakfast. He rarely changed his pajamas before breakfast today. .
The little girl just bit her mouthful of French bread and seemed to frown when she heard her father's words. She frowned and took a long time to swallow it. Then she quickly calmed down and said, "No, dad, don't use it."
"Really? This is a rare opportunity." Jared took a sip of coffee and said leisurely.
Angela bit her spoon and glared at her father. After a while, she bit her teeth and said, "No, Dad, I'm serious."
"Why?" Father shrugged puzzledly.
"What's why?" Elena came over and sat down, hearing this sentence.
Jared didn't answer directly, but asked something insignificant: "Dear, are you free today?"
"I just need to send the design of the necklace to the company. What's wrong?" Although she didn't understand why her husband asked this question, Elena still answered truthfully.
"Let's go to a movie tonight. Just the two of us, I asked Chris, she won't go." Jared smiled still.
Hearing the word movie, Elena had understood what was going on, and a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on her face, while the little girl screamed angrily: "Dad!"
"Okay, okay, let's listen now." Jared said, picking up the newspaper and reading it: "... Obviously, Nancy Meyers and Charles Shuyer wanted to give the children Summer ’s summer draws a perfect stop, but unfortunately, the whole movie did not achieve the effect they wanted, the story is too thin, Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts's opponent's play at the bar is the only bright spot, as for Angela Mason with two corners, only cute. "
After reading it, he turned the first page of the newspaper: "Well, this is the Washington Post, so let's look at the other newspapers."
Having said that, he took the Los Angeles Times and turned to the entertainment edition. He found the film review and read it: "... Meg Ryan and Julia Roberts staged a show of two women fighting for husband, although Julia won in the play. But outside the show, Dennis Quaid is still beside Meg, but the two women are still taking the line of the silly sister, which is too conservative, but the opponent's scene in the bar is very interesting. As a newcomer, Miss Angela Mason, The first time it appeared on the big screen, it was decorated with two corners. It was too harsh, and the performance was great, but her English accent was a bit lame. "
"Stomp? Maybe the gentleman who wrote the film review may have never been to Britain again." Elena raised her eyebrows.
"Don't worry, my dear, and others, listen to me before I finish reading them." Jared waved his hand and picked up another newspaper, which looked like the New York Times.
The little girl had to stand up as if to beg for mercy and said, "Okay, dad, don't think about it anymore."
"Oh, I'm so sorry, I thought you would like it. Since you don't want to go to the premiere and don't want to go to the cinema, you can always listen to the film critics." My father smiled and shrugged.
"I'll go at night, it should be fine." Angela's gritted teeth became more and more obvious.
"Well, that's it." Jared drank the coffee, reached out and touched the little fellow's head, ignored her killing eyes and kissed his wife goodbye before leaving.
At the door, the driver David Dick had driven the car and waited for him, as usual, but after he got in the car, David looked at him in the rearview mirror and said with a smile, "Mr. Mason, you Daughter is cute. "
Jared froze, and thanked politely, but didn't take it easy. But when he came to the company, he soon found something wrong. Whenever he passed by, the employees whispered behind him. Although he rarely reprimanded his employees, he still did not like this behavior very much. .
After entering her office, Miss Daisy, the secretary, quickly sent the documents that had been classified into different categories, but when she went out, she smiled at him like David and said, "Mr. Mason, your daughter is lovely."
"Oh? Thank you." Jared said for a second, thinking that he finally understood what was going on, but did the company employees go to the movies collectively last night?
If the little girl is here, I will definitely know that it is the so-called gossip culture in the office. Only one person has any gossip or the like. Others in the office will know the first time. These rumors are sometimes better than light. Come on.
But Jared didn't understand this, so he had to be very depressed and didn't think about it. Maybe it was because the kid was teased in the morning to cause such trouble? Hey, I'm not making fun of her! I'm helping her face her work!
Just as he was thinking about it, the phone on the desk rang, followed by Daisy's voice: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Albert is on line 3."
Brian? What did he call me at this time? Is it because of Kris's movie? Jared knocked at the table, and finally picked up the phone: "Take it for me, Daisy."
The phone was connected quickly, but before he could speak, there was a bit of a noisy voice: "Jedy, what the is going on! Am I the last one to know! I am young Godfather! "
"Okay, okay, Bly, can you be quiet and say slowly, my ears are almost deaf." Jared almost threw the microphone in his hand.
"Well, then tell me, what's going on?" Brian calmed down and said in a slow tone.
"I see, but do you have any good news?"
"what?"
"Judging from the time you called, you must not be the last to get the news."
"... Well, okay, I see. I will definitely sit idly by after your family storms."
"You guy," Jared sneered, and then simply said what Angela had done during this time.
"That is to say, the little guy played the role of the script he created?" Brian screamed over there. "Well, I know my goddaughter is not simple. She is a genius. Honestly I think her performance is really Excellent."
"Really? I haven't seen it yet." Jared shrugged over the phone.
"Why, it was the premiere yesterday. Should Chris attend?"
"Kris is obviously not confident in her work. Not only did she evade Disney's premiere invitation, but she didn't want us to go too." Jared said helplessly.
At this time, the phone on the desk rang again: "Mr. Mason, Miss Ruth is on line 4, would you let her wait?"
Jared smiled bitterly and said busyly to the microphone: "Okay, Bly, Ruth's phone is coming, probably all the same problem, so for the time being I have to say goodbye to you."
"Say hello to Ruth for me, and Irene and the little ones will not be used, because I will be in Los Angeles soon."
"I hope we're all not at home when you come," Jared said, pressing the end button, and then saying, "Dessie, get Ruth's phone in."
Soon, the brisk female voice passed into the ear: "Jedy, are you there?"
"Yes, I'm here, Ruth, shouldn't you also be because of Chris' movie?" Jared asked with a grin.
Hesitating over there, he said, "Why, Dad already called?"
"It's Brian, not my stubborn father." Speaking of his father, Jared's tone unconsciously brought a little laziness.
"Jedy!" Ruth exaggerated.
"Come on, Ruth, you know, it's not like my dad and I haven't been here for a day or two." Jared scratched his head. "It seems you're asking Chris about it."
"Well, what's the matter with the little guy?"
Just as Jared was about to answer, the phone rang again: "Mr. Mason, your father is on line 5, would you please wait a moment?"
What did it say? Jared patted his forehead and said to the microphone, "Okay, my dear sister, dad is on the phone. What do you want to know, you can call Erin's phone or Bly's. . "
"I see, but don't quarrel with dad."
"Well, don't compare me with a child." Jared shook his head and pressed the end button again, then took a deep breath and said to the microphone, "Dacy, pick up my father's phone."
Two or three seconds later, a little husky old voice came out of the microphone: "Jedy, you are very misconducted."
"Really? Because you let Kris go to the movies?" Jared took a deep breath and tried to calm his voice.
"Yes, I don't know what you're thinking, but is there an irresistible reason for a kid to make a movie ?! Or have you been in Los Angeles for too long and don't care about the kid?" The old man's tone gradually grew Become severe.
"Well, Dad, Chriss made this choice from start to finish. We just respect her choice."
"But you are her guardian, and you have to do more than just respect!"
"Then what do you want me to do? Tie her up? Don't forget, what a commotion caused by her negative runaway in London when she was 4 years old!"
"That's still your fault."
Hell, would you say something like this, Jared was a little annoyed, and his tone began to get cold: "Well, Mr. Kleist, I still have something to do. This morning, it was all about Angela's phone call. It was serious. It affected my job, so if you have any questions, you can come to California, or wait for us to come to New York at Christmas, and that's it. "
After speaking, he hung up the phone and took a deep breath on the chair, only to find that he had talked with his father for a long time, and didn't talk about the idea at all, which was inexplicable.
Jared smiled bitterly, and the phone rang again: "Mr. Mason, Mr. Oliver is on line 3. Would you let him wait?"
Okay, okay, today was the press conference for the little guy, or was it because I made fun of her? Damn it!
(I'm late today, I'm sorry, I've been very tired recently, and I'm still thinking about going to TVU to get a diploma or something. The time is really short and I'm very upset. I can only see if everyone's comments come up Consolation, thank you all.
