The banquet hall of the Duke Manor was brightly lit, and although it was almost midnight, it was still crowded. The members of the Lord of the Rings crew, Duke's relatives and friends, just briefly showed up at the Vanity Fair party, and all rushed to Malibu.∽↗,

As the biggest winner tonight, Duke is the object of congratulations by everyone and the object of being poured into wine. Although there is no such thing as persuading alcohol here, others come to clink glasses and congratulate him enthusiastically, and Duke cannot drink no wine at all.

Among these people are activists like Elijah Wood and Billy Boyd, who would occasionally make fun of Duke and drink a few more drinks.

Even though I only drank champagne, with Duke's pitiful amount of alcohol, I felt a little drunk shortly after the banquet began.

But these people didn't mean to let him go. Leonardo DiCaprio took the lead and Sofia Coppola assisted, seized the best opportunity and obviously wanted to get Duke drunk.

"Leo, Sophia..."

Duke put down his empty glass and said he would not pick up Sophia? Another glass handed over by Coppola, "Can't drink it anymore, if you don't want to see me fall."

"Dear, now is the most celebrated moment." Sofia Coppola did not let him go at all. "After today, there will be no such opportunity in the future."

Leonardo continued, "You only drank four drinks together."

"He will really get drunk again." Ivanka said.

Duke also shook his head firmly, Sofia and Leonardo looked at each other and left the table.

As soon as they left, someone came over. Even if this land does not pay attention to making friends by drinking, in some social events, others raise their glasses to you. It is impossible to completely refuse. That is a very rude thing.

As the host of the banquet, Duke is also inevitable.

“Hi, Duke.”

A familiar voice sounded from the side, and Scarlett Johnson, wearing a light green dress, walked over slowly. She arrived here earlier than Duke. As soon as the award ceremony ended, she accompanied Mrs. Leah to return to the manor.

"Congratulations, Duke."

She walked across from Duke with her glass, raised her to him, and raised her head to drink all of her.

He picked up the champagne in his hand, and Duke just gently touched his lips. After seeing it, Scarlett immediately said dissatisfiedly, "Hey, hey. Duke, I know your alcohol tolerance, can't you have a drink with me?"

"I'll accompany you." Ivanka took the initiative to speak.

Scarlett shook his head without thinking, "I was drinking with Duke when I was less than ten years old. I know better than you."

Ivanka turned his head slightly. He looked at Duke, and there was something he couldn't see, so he didn't have to care. But tonight, she saw too many, Charlize Theron, Cameron Diaz, Alessandra Ambroshe, Madonna Sicone, Shania Donn, Naomi Watts, Catherine Zeta Jones...

These people walked past her, as if she didn't exist, and greeted Duke enthusiastically, and some things in the past seemed to have never become the past.

She is not a member of Hollywood. She can’t understand why the ecological environment in this circle is so chaotic?

She is really happy that Duke can win the best director, but since she walked the red carpet to now, she always feels a little uncomfortable.

Even when she came back alone, she had an idea. Those women were so enthusiastic about Duke, were they still kept in touch with him in private?

Ivanka knew that this idea was terrible, and just came out a little and threw it behind her head.

"Evie, do you know?" Scarlett's tone was filled with a hint of flaunt that only women could understand. "The first time I drank was with Duke. The first time I made a movie, I was with Duke..."

Hearing the second sentence, even though Duke reacted a little slowly because he drank too much, he roughly noticed her strange tone. He couldn't help but turn to a stern voice like in the past few years and said, "Ska!"

As soon as this sentence came out, Scarlett's conditioned reflex was just like that, and his head lowered slightly, "Okay, I'll shut up."

After saying that, she wanted to have a glass of wine and raised her glasses to Duke and Ivanka at the same time, "I'll toast you two."

Duke and Ivanka both picked up their glasses and drank them a small sip. Scarlett drank them again, and then Shi Shi walked towards the other side.

Feeling the drunkenness rising and seeing someone walking towards this side, Duke said helplessly, "I'll go see if my mother is asleep."

"Yeah." Ivanka nodded, understanding that Duke was just a reason to deal with those people.

Walking out of the banquet hall, Duke turned into the lounge next to him and stayed in the bathroom inside for a while. When he came out, he gently wiped his mouth with a tissue. Although his stomach felt a little better, his head began to feel dizzy.

Fortunately, this night is only...

He sighed, and there would be no such opportunities in the future.

He has no hobbies for alcohol, and he can't even like it. If it weren't for such occasions, he wouldn't even touch it in general.

He sniffed in his palm. Duke smelled it and couldn't help but shake his head. He walked out of the lounge, entered the stairwell, went directly to a bathroom on the second floor, found the toothpaste and toothbrush, and planned to wash it up briefly.

In the banquet hall, Ivanka was surrounded by many people, but she was an outsider and was not familiar with these actors and the like, and was just talking with her.

Not far away, Scarlett Johnson put down his wine glass and slipped out of the banquet hall quietly. She met Duke at the age of ten, and at the beginning, the relationship between the two parties was quite good. Although they were slightly alienated in the future, due to the godmother, she often came to this manor and even knew some of Duke's behavioral habits.

When Duke left the banquet hall, Scarlett knew very well that he must have found a place to vomit alcohol.

Moreover, according to Duke's habit, he would never come back directly after vomiting, and would inevitably go to wash or change clothes. He rarely rudes in public.

The banquet hall is located on the first floor. After Scarlett came out, he estimated the time and did not go to the lounge next to him. Instead, he turned to the stairwell and went straight to the stairs. He found the bathroom dedicated to the second floor, put his ear on the door and listened for a few seconds, then left the door, leaned against the wall of the corridor, and waited near the door.

She is no longer a teenage girl, and she knows that some things can't be waited for. She must rely on robbing.

There are people who pursue her inside and outside the circle, but Scarlett has no interest in those young boys. She has had such a tall person in front of her since she was a child. Those guys who think they are very smart but are actually stupid like stupid donkeys will only make her bored.

Moreover, as she got older, Scarlett also discovered some of her psychological changes. It was definitely not the young people who could arouse her favor, but those who were much older than her.

For example, the guy in the bathroom.

Thinking of this, Scarlett suddenly scratched his face and threw all of them on the guy in the bathroom. If it weren't for him, how could this happen to him?

After brushing his teeth, Duke looked in the mirror and looked at the dress on his body. There were some water stains on it. I don’t know when the party tonight would end. I decided to go back to the room to change my clothes.

In the banquet hall, Ivanka finished a social gathering and waited for the people around her to gradually dissipate, but fortunately, these people were either friends of Duke or members of the work team, or actors of the Lord of the Rings crew. Those who would embarrass her, such as Alessandra Ambroshe, did not show up.

Ivanka knew very well that those people were definitely not hiding from her. There were countless women in Hollywood who probably wanted to enter this manor. This should be Duke's intentional arrangement.

Thinking of Duke's performance by her side, Ivanka couldn't help but feel that she must have thought too much. Perhaps the two often separated because of work, but when they were together, Duke showed enough attention to her.

"Haven't come back yet?"

After looking at the watch, Ivanka waved to the butler Emma, ​​and after a few simple instructions, she walked out of the banquet hall. She knew that Duke was not good at drinking and wanted to see him.

Pushing the door into the lounge next to it, there was no one inside, Ivanka went upstairs and walked upstairs on the thick carpet.

Shaking his swollen head, Duke made himself a little more awake. Although the champagne level was not too high, it would also be intoxicating.

Pulling open the bathroom door, Duke walked out, and immediately saw a familiar figure leaning against the wall of the corridor.

Scarlett Johnson looked at Duke, whose steps were not stable. His face was a little red, his eyes were not as bright as before, with obvious intoxication.

"Ska, why are you here..."

"You've drunk too much, I'll come and see you."

Scarlett Johnson immediately walked over. She was very fast, and before she could even wait for the drunken Duke to say the second sentence, she had already arrived next to him.

It seemed that she had practiced countless times in her mind just now. Scarlett grabbed Duke's arms with her arms. She almost didn't have to tiptoe when she stepped on the sky, but just raised her head and kissed Duke's lips.

Due to alcohol, Duke's reaction was a little slow, and the hot kiss and the extremely soft and towering faced against his chest seemed to awaken the instinct of the drunk man. Even when Scarlett pressed his lower body over, he did not dodge anyway.

Scarlett closed his eyes and used his somewhat immature kissing skills to awaken the beast in the hearts of the man opposite as much as possible.

What she saw and heard from childhood and grew up clearly told her that there should be countless beasts that were temporarily suppressed in her heart when she looked at the man who had become a mountain.

A soft tongue gently slid across his lips, which was a very strange breath. Duke's drowsy head suddenly woke up, and he tried hard to open his hazy eyes, and he saw Scarlett's blonde curly hair.

He leaned back slightly and tried to distance himself from Scarlett Johnson, "Scar!"

Duke is a man after all. Although he feels very good now, he uses a little force to open Scarlett's entanglement and slightly widen the distance between the two sides.

But before I could ask anything, a figure suddenly turned around at the direction of the stairs (to be continued...)
