"We can meet another time if you don't have time now," as she asked, his coughing got worse, and blood started coming out of his mouth directly dyeing the cup red, Brooke's eyes opened wide, and her lips parted as if she in shock. and fortunately, this time she managed not to frown.

"Pause, this was almost perfect, but unfortunately, your frightened expression isn't natural enough. There is still some time. So let's do it again." Eric said as his expression relaxed slightly.

After doing it once again, Eric still wasn't satisfied, because at the last moment Brooke reflexively frowned, it was clear to him that it was difficult for Brooke to overcome her natural reaction, giving up Eric told the crew to take a break, so they can try a few more times after lunch.

Just as he got up to leave for lunch, Alan came over and said: "Eric, Miss Julia has been waiting for you for a while outside, because she has no pa.s.s she couldn't get in."

"Julia?" puzzled Eric asked, "Julia Roberts?"

"Yes," replied Alan.

"Isn't she in Louisiana?"

In a teasing tone, Alan replied: "Maybe she came back because you were injured."

Shrugging Eric ignored his a.s.sistant's teasing and walked out of the studio.

Out of the studio door, Eric saw a commercial car parked across the street.

And as Eric got closer, the car door opened, and Julia who was wearing a simple and stylish dress and sungla.s.ses came out, followed by her a.s.sistant, and the two men who looked like bodyguards also followed down.

Almost at the same time, the seven paparazzi who were waiting for a long time outside the studio, began shooting at Julia, asking her questions.

"Hi, big star!" Eric yelled when he came near, causing the surrounding crowd to laugh.

"Hi, big director!" Julia shot back.

Then they gave each other a gentle hug, causing a sudden burst of camera clicks as the paparazzi took pictures, then they swarmed them while trusting their recorders in Eric and Julia's face, asking questions like why did she return to Los Angeles, and whats the progress of her new film and so on. Of course, they didn't forget to ask Eric about 《Running Out of Time》.

Looking at her bodyguards and a.s.sistant for help, Julia who chose not to answer any of their questions, quickly got back in her car and left with Eric. The crowd of paparazzi also quickly got into their cars and motorcycles and followed them.

At the studio door, Brooke Shields who just come out to eat lunch in a restaurant on the opposite street saw this scene. As she watched them leave, she felt a deep feeling of envy, Brooke has been famous for so long, yet she still hasn't enjoyed the scene of the paparazzi chasing her. But Julia Roberts, the actress who only become known for a few months, has easily gained such attention.

Feeling lost Brooke looked around, originally there was always a few paparazzi waiting outside to interview the cast of 《Running Out of Time》, but now with Julia Roberts and Eric leaving, there was no one left.

The only one still standing around was the fat security guard who was staring at her long legs and giving her lecherous stars, making her feel irritable and disgusted. But after thinking about Julia Roberts's fame, she once again got eager.

"Maybe I should have more patience," Brooke muttered in a low voice and made up her mind to refuse Cruise dinner invitation. Although Tom Cruise fame is big, but after all, he is just an actor. Compared to Eric the young director, he can't provide her with the same opportunities.

Plus if the rumors about her and Cruise start gaining fame is impossible, because Cruise is a married man, those rumors will only hurt her. If Eric is still indifferent to her by the time she finishes filming 《Running Out of Time》, Brooke Shields made up her mind to also give up on him.

"These two are Hunter and Chris." sitting in the backseat of the car, Julia took the initiative to introduce Eric to her driver and bodyguard, with a proud tone, Alison Green who worked as Julia a.s.sistant couldn't help but chuckle at how childish Julia was acting.

Feeling embarra.s.sed Julia give her a.s.sistant a knock on the forehead and said: "Alison, I swear I will deduct your salary."

Laughing Eric reached out and pressed the b.u.t.ton to make the noise barrier between the driver and backseat rise, only then did he start talking: "Well, I already know you are a famous big star, but where are we going?"

"Not far, I booked a restaurant, there are five or six minutes till we get there, so you can rest a.s.sured that you won't miss your work in the afternoon."

Then she pointed at the gauze still warped around his forehead and asked: "When I heard the news, I was shocked. So what did happen?"

Looking seriously at the two, Eric said:"before I say anything, Alison, I want you to promise not to disclose what I'm about to say in front of outsiders. If you do, the consequences will be severe."

Nodding seriously Alison said: "Of course I won't, you can trust me." She was clear about what happened between Eric and Julia, and in her heart, she also hoped that Eric and Julia end up together. So when she saw the news of Eric injury, she couldn't help but urge Julia to come see him, hoping the relationship between the two become closer.
