Crazy Ex-Boyfriend
Chapter 16
The next day, Saturday.
He went to buy a bicycle for her and parked it at the bicycle parking lot below the apartment.
He insisted on buying a few T-shirts, jeans, plaid shirts and other men's clothing and put them in her wardrobe.
She did not meet Derek again.
He bought some ingredients and made lunch for her at noon.
Juven was a vegetarian. He had been vegetarian since he was young and was used to it. He did not eat it himself, but he made chicken steak with orange juice, clam chowder, Caesar salad for Hayley. He also made potato with herbs and vegetable soup for himself. The main dish was creamy mushroom spaghetti.
For dessert, he bought mousse pastries from a cake shop. He put them in a shallow bone porcelain plate and sprinkled a few blueberries for decoration.
It was paired with dry white wine.
Juven was busy in the kitchen for a long time. He locked Hayley in the bedroom to read and did not allow her to come out.
When he was done and placed the food on the table, he knocked on the door. "Baby, you can come out now."
"You really know how to cook?" Hayley was still doubtful.
"Don't underestimate me."
He pulled her to the kitchen. The kitchen was not big. There was a counter, a stove, a sink, a row of cupboards, and a foldable long table for two beside the door.
"Wow!" Hayley exclaimed. "It looks delicious."
"Of course.
Here, try it. "He cut a small piece of chicken steak and stuffed it into her mouth. Then, he looked expectant.
It was indeed delicious. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
"It's really delicious." She nodded. "You really don't want to try it?"
"No. Sit down.
Sit down. Are you hungry?
I was afraid that you would wait for too long, so I made a few dishes that didn't take too much time. "
This lunch was simply perfect.
Hayley had never seen a man who could cook so well.
Previously, Juven did not have a chance to show off. Now that she had moved out, he had a chance to please her.
In the afternoon, he accompanied her to the bookstore to buy some books. They stayed in the bookstore for half the afternoon. After paying, they went to the cafe next door for a while.
He told her about what happened in Venice. Besides Venice, he also went to Milan. After talking for a long time, he mentioned shyly that he had won the Best Actor Award at the Venice Film Festival.
"What does that mean?
Is this award very good? "Hayley didn't quite understand.
"It's alright. It's a little better than impossible."
"Compared to Oscar?"
Juven smiled. "That's different."
"How is it different?" He asked when he didn't understand.
Although Isaac worked in Hollywood, Hayley knew very little about this and didn't care.
Juven briefly told her about the three major European film festivals and the differences between the Oscar and the European film festivals.
"Is the Best Actor Award at the European Film Festival or the Oscar Best Actor Award better?"
"That depends on what criteria you use to measure it. If you get an Oscar, the box office of the movie will increase correspondingly, and the salary will also be higher.
Venice. Maybe there will be more job opportunities in the future. "
"That's not bad either." She was very happy for him.
"I remember that you were nominated for an Oscar."
He was a little shy. "Yeah, a few years ago." He was very vague.
Hayley was confused. "Why are you shy?
That's good. Isaac — "She frowned." He said that he would be very happy if he was nominated. Then the people in the 'Oscar Club' would play with him. "
"That's true." He glanced at her carefully. "You don't seem to like Isaac very much. Doesn't he treat you well?"
"Sometimes it's quite good, but that's it.
I can't treat him as my biological father. "
"You've never told me about your father." He pretended to say casually.
"Him?
There's nothing to say. "
Juven wasn't sure what she meant. "The way you talk about him makes it sound like he's no longer around."
"He should be no longer around.
I'm not very sure. Helen also mentioned him in the past.
You know that we're from Germany, right? "
Juven nodded.
"My name wasn't 'Hayley'. When I was young, my mother called me 'Liz.'"
"Liz?
Elizabeth?
Liz is also very nice. "
They rode the motorcycle back to the apartment. As soon as they stopped, they heard someone shout, "Hayley!"
Hayley turned her head reflexively. Then she frowned and muttered softly, "Why is he here?"
It was Harry Seissberg. Behind him was Savannah, who looked hesitant.
Hari ignored Juven and walked directly to Hayley. He smiled. "You didn't drive here. I brought you a car."
Hayley looked around and saw the crimson Beetles parked a little further away.
"I don't need to drive. It's not far from the school. I bought a bicycle. I can just ride it."
"A bicycle?" He was still smiling. "Where is it?"
Hayley pointed to where the bicycle was parked.
Hari glanced at the bicycle and then glanced at Juven. Then he walked back to his car, opened the trunk, took out an aluminum baseball bat, and walked over.
Hayley took a step back and asked nervously, "What are you doing?"
Juven pulled her behind him and pursed his lips unhappily. What is this guy trying to do?
I'm not weak when it comes to fighting!
However, Hari didn't approach them. Instead, he went to the bicycle and smashed it hard.
"Are you crazy?" Hayley said angrily.
That's my bicycle! "
Hari threw the baseball bat aside and took out his wallet. "How much did you buy it for?
I'll pay you! "He took out two 100's and threw them on the ground.
"You're f * cking crazy!" She could only curse him like that.
Hari was very smart. He didn't really hit Juven. Hitting someone and smashing a bicycle that was less than 200 dollars were two different things. Even if he called the police, the police would at most ask him to pay for it. What else could they do?
Hari didn't care about her "f * ck". He turned to Savannah and said, "Give her the car keys."
Savannah was probably frightened by his action of smashing the bicycle. She quickly handed the car keys to Hayley.
"He's crazy. Are you crazy too?
I don't want it. If he's not happy, he can go and smash the bicycle too. "
"Why would I smash a bicycle that's worth more than a hundred thousand?" Hari said coldly. "Take it!
Also, don't see this guy again. You know I have many ways to destroy him. "
Hayley was so angry that she laughed. "Harry Seissberg, you're so arrogant that it's annoying!"
Juven was also very angry. He bought the bicycle for Hayley!
Why did this annoying guy smash the bicycle the moment he came!
He even said such disgusting words!
It was as if Hayley was his private property. What a jerk!
Hayley came out from behind him. He pulled her, but Hayley ignored him and shook him off. She quickly walked to Hari's car and kicked the mirror in front of the right door.
She didn't break it. She was very angry.
Hari seemed to be hesitant. He didn't know if he should stop her.
Juven went over to pick up the baseball bat and gave it to her.
Hayley smashed the mirror with the baseball bat.
Then she said to Juven, "Pay him 100!
He's only worth 100! "
Juven held back his laughter, took out his wallet, and took out a 100 yuan bill. He copied Hari and threw it on the ground beside the car.
"Juven is my boyfriend." Hayley walked to Hari. "If he gets hurt in a fight, I'll go back and beat you. If he can't get a job, I'll still go back and beat you. If you try to destroy him, I'll destroy you before that."
Hari looked incredulous. "You're going to be my enemy for such a poor boy?"
"I like him, but I don't like you.
I've never liked you. Not in the past, not now, and not in the future.
Have you never realized that I don't even want to be alone with you?
Every time I'm not with Savannah, you're with David.
I don't know where you get the illusion that I like you. Since I don't like you at all, why do you want to treat me as your private property? "
"Don't you?
Every time you say something to me, you're flirting with me! "
Hayley was very surprised. "I thought you wouldn't be like those men. When a girl smiles at you, you think she likes you. When a girl agrees to have dinner with you, she wants to sleep with you.
Where is your brain?
Is it on your genitals? "
*
She went upstairs and returned to the apartment. She was still very angry. "What's wrong with his brain?"
Juven was a little surprised to see her scold someone for the first time.
But he was also a little happy. Hayley was very protective of him, and he was very happy.
Although it was a pity that his new bicycle was smashed, he could buy another one. It was not a big deal.
Hari's threat was also not a big deal. Saisberg was not in the Hollywood circle, and he had not heard that his family had any investments in Hollywood.
The power relationships in Hollywood were very complicated. It was not something that a jealous young man could do whatever he wanted.
"Don't care about that kind of person."
Speaking of which, he had seen a lot of such people. They were the kind of young men who were born rich and thought that they could get everything. Because they were rich, they looked down on others who were born poor. In particular, Saisberg was Jewish, so he was more sensitive to "money."
Hayley was still angry. "He always thinks that money can buy everything. How ridiculous!
In terms of money, he's not as rich as David. If I really want to find a rich boyfriend, I'll choose David and not him. "
"What did you say?" He pulled her to the sofa. "Who do you want?"
