CHAPTER 37 - FEAST

CHAPTER 37 – FEAST

Like I announced before in a previous post, from now on I'll be using Piaotian's source for the chapters, so the uncensored version. It really starts from now on, so be warned. This one is slightly NSFW.

Virginia was excited, according to the name, this was a story featuring a woman as the protagonist. With Eric's current fame, if she could nail the role, whether the movie was ultimately good or bad, she would receive a great deal of attention.

"Eric, you're saying.... I..... I...."

Looking at girl's expectant eyes, Eric felt somewhat guilty: "I'm sorry, Virginia, but your temperament is just not what I have in mind, it doesn't match my vision of the heroine who should give the feeling of being both pure and sexy."

Virginia Madsen didn't seem to hear Eric's words, she said: "Eric, perhaps we could find room to discuss about the script, I believe I might surprise you."

For a second, Eric almost agreed to her offer on impulse, but his self-control as a mature man restrained him.

He knew that if really 'discussed' this in a room with her, he'd have to give in to her, and although this was something common in that circle, it just didn't sit right with him. Now he was stuck between a wall and a hard place, turning her down would become a hassle.

Eric took a deep breath, gently pushed the woman away, and said: "Virginia, I'm really sorry, although Home Alone and 17 Again have succeeded, many people are still questioning my ability to hold the wheel, I cannot afford to fail. If there is a role for you in the future, I will certainly let you know."

The last promise aside, seeing that Eric had remained unmoved at her biggest bargaining chip, she couldn't help but admire the boy's self-control, and no longer insisted. After one dance, Virginia Madsen left her contact card to Eric, and the two of them went separate ways.

"Why, reluctant to part with her ?" It was unknown when Drew had come out, she held onto Eric's arm as she teased.

"Of course, I'm a healthy man after all." Eric laughed.

"Then you can go after her, I believe Virginia Madsen won't refuse you."

Eric shrugged: "I'm too poor, with my net worth of 521$ and seventy-five cents, even if there were some suites available, I wouldn't be able to afford it."

Drew licked her lips and took the opportunity to say: "You know Eric, there's no need to pay anything when you can get a free home delivery."

Eric couldn't help but knock on her head again: "My God, you damn goblin really won't give it a rest, huh ? Go back !"

Drew rubbed her head indignantly: "Eric, I strongly protest, you always knock on my head ! The next time, I'll bite you, I'm serious !"

While the two were frolicking, James Brooks came holding a glass of red wine.
