Chapter 346: If you pay, you will be rewarded

"What should I do?" The obstruction from the family seems to have caused trouble to the girl. "When facing my father, I feel very depressed. He is forcing me to make a choice."

Natalie opened her drunken eyes and looked at Duke, as if she wanted to seek answers.

Is this girl really drunk? Duke was unsure. He put down his glass and pointed at his heart, "When you can't see the road clearly, you just need to follow this way."

In an instant, Duke turned into a literary and artistic wizard.

"Follow here?"

Touching her left breast with her right hand, Natalie thought for a moment, put her left arm on the bar, leaned forward slightly, tapped the empty wine glass, and said to Duke, "One more glass."

Taking the red wine and pouring it for himself and Natalie, Duke gently clinked the glasses with her and drank it all in one gulp.

Natalie put her hands on the bar, her eyes were narrowed and long, and her blushing face was not far in front. Duke imitated Natalie's posture and put his two arms on the bar. He inevitably leaned forward, and the distance between the two people immediately shrunk a lot.

Half a foot away from Duke's eyes was Natalie's sharp-lined face. She was indeed not very beautiful, but she had a shrewd and agile temperament. Especially on her body, traces of Matilda could still be faintly seen. .

The index finger of his right hand slowly drew circles on the bar. Duke hesitated for a few seconds, and finally stretched out his left hand tentatively and gently pinched Natalie's chin.

Unexpectedly, Natalie did not break away immediately when he raised her chin, but instead blinked at him with her brown eyes.

Duke no longer hesitated, found those two red lips, and kissed them.

Natalie still had no intention of dodge. Instead, under Duke's skillful guidance, he closed his eyes and fully cooperated with the deep kiss.

The two of them kissed across the bar, and their passionate kiss turned from slow and gentle to passionate and explosive. It lasted for two minutes until they felt it was difficult to breathe. Then they gradually separated.

The moment they separated, Duke walked around the bar, grabbed Natalie's slender arm, and pulled her close to his arms. His other hand firmly grasped the thin waist.

As if she felt something, Natalie put her hands on Duke's chest, trying to close the distance between the bodies that was about to become negative.

"No. Duke..." she struggled, "I think we're going too fast and we should keep some distance."

"Nat, do you really think so?"

At this moment, how could Duke stop. He lifted Natalie up with both arms and walked towards the bedroom. Natalie's hands were immediately hung on his neck, and the two kissed each other again.

These two people are not religious men and women. When love comes to your heart, passion comes to your heart. They just want to follow the original idea.

Duke has never been the kind of person who only cares about his own feelings. Compared to Natalie's rawness, he can be said to be a skilled veteran. When Natalie frowned because of pain. He used the gentlest kiss to smooth out her frown...

The bedroom finally returned to silence. Duke carried Natalie out of the bathroom and placed her on the thick mattress where the sheets had just been changed. Natalie pulled a blanket next to her with her backhand and wrapped herself tightly, leaving only the Got a head out there.

"My cell phone is in the living room." She turned to look at Duke, who was wrapped in a bath towel. "I want to make a call home."

"Huh?" Duke didn't quite understand what she meant.

"Do you think I can go home tonight in my current situation?" she said bitterly.

Duke smiled slightly awkwardly, walked out of the bedroom, found Natalie's handbag, and handed it to her when he came back. Natalie took out her cell phone, called her mother, and gave her a reason for not going home. Finally, he hung up the phone and threw the phone next to the pillow. His brown eyes looked at Duke again with some thought.

The drunkenness subsided, the lust disappeared, her mind regained its clarity, and the confusion in Natalie's eyes turned into shrewdness.

"Anything else?"

Duke walked over, sat next to her, stretched out his hand and gently touched her face, and when he passed the small mole, he would tap on it.

Natalie grabbed Duke's hand and suddenly said, "I feel like I'm a fool."

"Why do you say that?"

If she was a fool, then there really weren't many smart people in Hollywood. Duke held her wrist, his index finger and thumb on both sides, and slowly rubbed the protruding joints on it, "How could you be a fool? Nat?"

"I knew you had bad intentions, but I still let you succeed." The confusion and lust in her eyes when she looked at Duke had long since disappeared, "I don't want to be a playboy's wife."

"Honey, you can't."

Duke had never thought of finding such a complicated girl for a long-term affair. To be honest, it was just a one-night or multiple-night stand. He leaned over and kissed Natalie on the forehead, "Nat..."

Before Duke could say anything else, Natalie interrupted him, "Duke, this is my first time!"

Duke frowned slightly, the reminder in this sentence was so obvious.

After breaking free of Duke's hand, Natalie pulled back slightly, propped herself up and leaned on the bed, her eyes gradually becoming as high as Duke's.

"This is also our last time!" She said lightly.

At this point, Duke still doesn't quite understand what Natalie means. When it comes to means and experience, she may be a little behind Hollywood's top actresses, but when it comes to inner complexity, she is probably born to rank among the top Hollywood actresses. Among the top ranks of stars.

After saying that, Natalie looked straight at Duke but said nothing more.

Just now, his head was a little dizzy from the joy of achieving his biggest wish, but Natalie's attitude reminded Duke that they both belonged to Hollywood, and the girl opposite him would be one of the smartest actresses in Hollywood in the future.

In an instant, Duke thought of the saying that has been circulated in Hollywood and that he has always adhered to - what you pay will be rewarded!

Is this Natalie Portman?

A sneer suddenly appeared in his heart. Duke felt that he was a fool. He made up his mind not to be affected by his previous life, but he was still carried away by his former idol.

However, Duke then temporarily threw away these thoughts, things have happened. There is no use thinking about it anymore, and he is just a normal person, and this is not the first time that he has been confused.

Turning his head, Duke looked directly into Natalie's eyes, not bothering to talk in circles, "Tell me. Nat, what do you want."

While he was talking, he stood up and walked to the clothes rack and sat on the single sofa. His checkbook was in his pocket.

But Natalie's next words made Duke realize that he had underestimated this girl's shrewdness.

"Duke..." Natalie lowered her eyelids. "I have paid for my first time..."

Hearing this, Duke suddenly laughed, "Nat, I have never made any deal with any actress who stars in my works."

Naomi Watts, Charlize Theron, Catherine Zeta Jones and more. Duke didn't exchange scripts or characters for anything from them, and if these people couldn't meet his requirements, no matter how much they paid, he wouldn't use them.

Which is more important, tens of millions of dollars in investment or a beautiful woman? Does this need to be chosen?

Natalie's face was a little tense. She pursed her lips and said, "In the past two months. Based on my observation and thinking, I discovered something that is very detrimental to my future."

The two of them were naked, only wrapped in blankets and towels, and there was still a faint smell of love in the bedroom. But the atmosphere between the two of them was quickly turning cold.

"Queen Amidala made me what I am."

This girl is indeed very smart, "but I think she will limit my future!"

"You have good taste, Nat," Duke added.

Not to mention Matilda, who has no influence at all in North America and has been unanimously criticized by the mainstream media, Queen Padmé Amidala is Natalie Portman's first truly famous role.

This kind of role Globally popular roles are the dreams of young actresses and often turn into their nightmares.

What will be the consequences after an actor is fixed by a commercial image?

Johnny Depp made six consecutive saves except for Captain Jack Sparrow, and Tom Cruise was without Ethan Hunter...

In fact, after the Star Wars series, Natalie also encountered the same problem, and even couldn't find a suitable role for a while.

Duke didn't expect that she would be keenly aware of this problem now.

"No need to beat around the bush, Nat."

Duke didn't bother to say anything more,

"Just tell me your request."

"Duke, this is nothing to you."

This smart girl knows enough is enough. First she acted like a lion with her mouth wide open, lowering Duke's psychological bottom line, and then made a request that was not too excessive, "I can see that you don't like my Personality, if we have the opportunity to cooperate, this will definitely affect your choice. Therefore, if there is a suitable role for me in your works in the future, please give me priority."

Indeed, Natalie didn't want much, not even a Hollywood-style fair deal.

But Duke didn't want to agree so easily, "I'll consider it, Nat."

He stood up with his clothes and walked towards the door, "My dear, you should have a good rest. I will have someone take you home early tomorrow morning."

After saying that, Duke opened the door and walked out without looking back.

This realistic scene once again reminded Duke not to look at the stars he liked with the same vision and wishes he once had!

Natalie watched Duke's back disappear without saying anything. She knew that she was now the weaker side.

The next day, Duke still gave a reply that he would consider it, and then left Natalie to Tina Fey, while he continued to be busy with the super publicity show that was about to officially start.

On Sunday morning, there was a huge crowd of people in front of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel in Manhattan. In addition to hundreds of reporters, there were even six television broadcast trucks driving here to broadcast the event to North America and even the entire Western world via live broadcast. The big show that was hyped up.
