Chapter 326: This Is All I Have#

Although Eric tried his best to liven up the atmosphere, the mood was tinged with a hint of awkwardness throughout because the girl was not really there mentally. After dinner, Eric watched as the girl cleaned up and then got up to leave, saying, Its getting late, I think I should go back now.

You didnt come by car, how are you going to get back? the girl asked casually.

Eric coughed awkwardly and was about to say something when Joanna Pacua suddenly interjected, Can you stay and watch TV for a while?

Erics expression changed slightly and he nodded obediently, sitting back down on the sofa.

The girl tidied up the dishes and then disappeared into the bathroom. The sound of rus.h.i.+ng water could be clearly heard due to the poor sound insulation in the small apartment, and Eric suddenly felt a strange sensation in his heart.

After a while, the girl emerged from the bathroom wearing a pink bathrobe with wet hair draped over her shoulders. She switched off the lights in the living room with a flick of her hand, leaving only the flickering glow of the TV. Eric remained silent as he watched her switch off the TV after a while. Then, a naked and supple body snuggled up to him, tentatively rubbing against him as she whispered softly, Ive heard about your situation.

Hmm? Eric felt the atmosphere was becoming somewhat ambiguous and subconsciously asked in confusion.

About your situation, Joanna Pacua repeated, her hands still busy unb.u.t.toning his s.h.i.+rt. Her tongue teasingly traced over his cheek before moving downwards, and she spoke haltingly, II only have this to offer, and mymy demands are not high.

Eric took a deep breath and took the initiative to wrap his arms around the girls slender waist, pressing her down on the sofa as he kissed her deeply.

The sunlight struggled to squeeze in through the narrow gap between the curtains from a nearby building, only just managing to cast a faint beam on the cramped bedroom. Although the not-too-big bed made Eric feel a bit uncomfortable, the faint fragrance of the woman that surrounded him effectively merged with his emotions.

A cl.u.s.ter of light brown hair rested on her chest, and the womans figure was actually very tall. She was only a little less than ten centimeters shorter than Eric, but at the moment she was curled up in his chest like a little girl. Eric could clearly feel the faint warmth of her breath on his skin.

Carefully stroking the smooth back of the woman in his arms, Eric wondered whether he should get up now. His watch was placed on the bedside table, and he was afraid that he might disturb the woman if he moved too much. He didnt know what time it was, but he was sure it was already quite late since he had stayed up until after one oclock last night.

He didnt bring his mobile phone, although he had several ACs provided by Motorola for the filming of Running Out of Time. They were only slightly larger than his palm, but they were still very clunky compared to the mobile phones in his previous life, and he didnt like using them. He guessed that many people were frantically searching for him now.

Joanna Pacua in his arms moved and opened her eyes, feeling that she was curled up in a mans embrace. After a brief confusion, she soon remembered what had happened last night.

Im sorry, Eric. What time is it now? she asked timidly, raising her head.

Eric felt relieved when he saw her awake and reached for the watch on the bedside table. Its 9:40, he replied.

Its already so late, Joanna sighed lightly, but she didnt hurry to get up. She straightened up and leaned on Erics arm, looking at him with her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

Dont you want to get up? Eric asked curiously.

Joanna shook her head. Its just that I dont know what to do after getting up.

Thats not good. People will age easily without goals, Eric said softly.

Heh, I am indeed much older than you, Joanna said dejectedly.

Eric comforted her by stroking her back. You look about the same age as me, at most 25 years old.

But Im not really 25 years old, Joanna replied.

Eric kissed her on the lips. Alright, lets not talk about these sad things. Since you dont want to get up, lets do something meaningful.

Umwhat? The woman had not yet reacted when she felt Eric pressing her down and she let out a short moan. She quickly wrapped her arms around his waist, slightly opening her mouth, bearing the mans thrusts.

Yes, Alan, of course, Im fine. Ill go to the airport on time this afternoon. You go to Malibu and have someone help me packYes, there are people there, youll know when you go Also, buy another plane ticket.

After hanging up the phone, Eric looked at the already dressed woman and said, Come with me to New York. Ive already asked someone to help buy the plane ticket.

Joanna Pacua hesitated, Youre going to shoot a movie, what am I going to do?

Ive already thought of a position for you. You can be my personal a.s.sistant.

My personal a.s.sistant? The woman repeated, thinking for a moment before nodding, Okay, you can arrange it. I dont have anything to do in Los Angeles anyway. But what about my agent?

What do you think of your agent? Eric asked.

Hes okay, the woman replied.

Dont use such uncertain language. I mean, if you think hes good, then keep him. If you dont think hes good, then fire him.

Joanna Pacua didnt think too much and quickly said, Thenlets fire him.

Okay, thats settled, Eric said with a smile. Now call him and tell him hes fired, and then youll be free. Were going to New York.

But personal a.s.sistant?

Eric approached and revealed the womans waistline, Whats wrong, dont you want to?

No, Im just a little scared, the woman said with a flicker in her eyes.

Scared of what? Eric asked.

Joanna Pacua hesitated for a moment before closing her eyes slightly, Im afraid you just want to play with me and then not care about me anymore when you get bored.

Eric pretended to be angry, Do you think Im that kind of person?

Because I dont know, thats why Im afraid. I just want to be a little more stable. Youre the big boss of Firefly, help me arrange a movie, let me have a stable career in Hollywood. This request is not too high. I promise I wont bother you again in the future. If you want you can still come find me.

After hearing Joanna Pacuas hesitant words, Eric tightly embraced her and said, Dont worry, you wont have to worry about that anymore in the future. Although you dont believe it, I promise you will definitely become the top Hollywood superstar. In the next movie, Ill have you as my leading lady.
