CHAPTER 47 – I'VE ALSO WORN THAT SHIRT

Posted on March 7, 2017 by Elawn

Eric firmed his tone, "Annie, I'm not breaking up with you, can't you just tell me your address so that I can come see you in New York for Christmas ?"

"Don't even think about it." Aniston replied. She couldn't help but think: Even Drew Barrymore was able to find out where I am, but you can't ? "Besides, don't you... don't you have a new girlfriend ? The one that was photographed coming out of your house."

"You mean Julia ? She has good potential, I'm going to open an agency and I want to sign her."

Annie shot a disapproving glance at the tabloid still spread on the table not far: "Do agencies have their talents sleep with their boss right away nowadays ? That shirt... I've also worn that shirt, you bastard !"

Eric hesitated for a few seconds, before whispering: "I'm sorry, Annie, will you forgive me ? It won't happen again."

Hearing his feeble tone, Annie's voice softened some: "Eric, I think the distance between us has just grown too big for us to get along. Every time I'll see you, I'll be hit by a sense of insecurity."

"Annie, I just bought a villa in Beverly hills....."

"I'm not talking about physical distance, Eric. Maybe it's just my imagination but I feel like you're as ethereal as a dimension traveler, and it makes me restless. Sometimes I can't help but worry that you'll just up and disappear."

The two of them stayed silent for a while.

"Eric, the reason I'm calling you today is to tell you that, this morning, I received an anonymous letter, the author said that he wanted to tell me things about you. The address of the meeting was in Central Park, it was a public place so I felt there was no danger and went. The stranger asked about our relationship, then he asked me.... asked me about what had happened that morning. I stayed quiet, but I don't know if it was to test me or if that fellow really saw something, he said that he was willing to appear in court and testify against you and Drew on my behalf. He said that you would have to give me a lot of money if I succeeded. I refused."

Eric listened quietly to Aniston's story. Once she finished, Eric nodded and asked in understanding: "Annie, thank you for telling me this, now I'm pretty sure; you still love me, don't you ?"

"You....." Annie's heart skipped a beat for a second, and then she started talking louder: "Do you even understand what kind of situation you're in right now ?! Someone is trying to send you to jail, Eric ! I made some research and something similar happened to Roman Polanski, they found conclusive evidence of his relationship with the girl and he was sentenced to imprisonment. He had to flee the United States, Eric !"

"I know Annie, don't worry, I will deal with this matter."

Hanging up the phone, Eric sat on the sofa and quietly pondered for a while. Although Home Alone had pressured a lot of movies at the box office, it wouldn't warrant this type of behavior. Granted, many people couldn't stand him, but the most they would do would be to discredit him for a few days through the media.
