"Don't.

All the men who date her want to sleep with her, no exception.

You're Juven's friend. I don't want our relationship to become weird. "

This conversation was a little strange.

Kinou thought for a moment. "Your relationship with Juven won't be an obstacle, but I'm … I'm not sure.

Helen is too beautiful. I think I'm one of the men who can't resist her charm. "

Hayley reached out to press the elevator button and nodded at him. "I understand you, but you have to control yourself. Don't become another victim of Helen."

*

Because of Kinou's behavior, Hayley asked Juven curiously, "What do you think of Helen?"

"What do you mean?" Juven was a little confused. 'What's she asking?'

"All the men I've met will be fascinated by Helen's beauty. Even a beauty like Kinou can't avoid it.

He's already beautiful enough. If you want to see a beauty, just look in the mirror. "

"What's wrong with Kinou?

Oh!

You mean this! "

He organized his words and said cautiously, "Kinou likes beauties. You already know that.

Besides, who doesn't like beauties? "

"Helen is much prettier than me.

What about you?

You don't seem to be fascinated by her. "

"Ah … Do you think this looks good?" Juven pointed at the new season's clothes in the window of the mall beside him.

"Don't you think Helen is very charming?"

"Let's go shopping. You don't seem to have bought any new dresses recently." He changed the topic again.

"If you don't answer directly, I'll take it as a yes."

"Helen is your mother. What can I think?"

"There seem to be a lot of girls whose boyfriends marry their mothers in the end. This kind of news can't even make it to the society's newspapers."

Juven was a little flustered and vexed. "You have the same train of thought as those media reporters. All you want is to create big news.

Yes, Helen was too beautiful, a beauty that could really make people suffocate, but I wasn't an idiot!

I have you. I think about you all day long. I don't have the space to think about anything else. "

"Then you're a bit stronger than Kinou!"

"I have to tell Kinou that you praised him."

The two of them giggled at each other in a silly manner. Then, they stood outside the window and kissed for a while.

Young Hollywood actors often went to these places, and it was inevitable that they would run into Susanna.

Hayley had only heard of Susanna's name, but had never seen her before.

However, Susanna had seen Hayley before. When Juven walked away for a while, she mocked Beverly Princess for being penniless and no one was willing to take her out to play, so she could only come back to Juven.

Hayley looked confused. "Who are you?

Whether I'm with Juven or who I'm with, what does that have to do with you? "Beverly Princess was quite elegant when she said" fuck ".

Juven went to get the punch. When he turned around, he saw Susanna standing face to face with Hayley, so he hurried back.

Susanna saw him coming over, raised her hand and knocked over the wine glass in his hand. Then she left angrily.

Juven shook the wine off his hand. "What's wrong with her?

Did she say anything to you? "

"Nothing.

I thought she was the one who broke up with you. "

Juven was even more confused. "She was the one who broke up with me.

What's wrong? "

"Don't you know that when girls break up with each other, it means that they want you to apologize and then coax her?"

"Huh?

Did you also want me to coax you and make you happy when you broke up with me earlier? "

"No. We didn't break up.

We didn't fight, do you remember? "Haley said calmly.

"Go and wash your hands."

"You stay with me." Juven looked around and didn't see Susanna. "Why don't we go?"

"Why do we have to go?

Is the wine not good, or is the music not good enough? "

"No, I'm afraid that Susanna —"

"What are you afraid of?"

Hayley looked at him strangely. "She's here, so I have to give in to her to avoid any ugly conflicts with her?

Juven, you really underestimate me. "She pinched his collar." Come on, I'll take you to wash your hands. You have to be good. "

Susanna didn't appear in front of them for the rest of the time.

It was just a breakup. A few words were enough. It wasn't to the extent of making things ugly. Hayley didn't take it seriously.

So when James Caviedo appeared later, she didn't react.

"Jim." Juven greeted James with a nod.

Jim Caviedo was a newcomer to Hollywood. Last year, Juven and Kinou worked together in "My Own Idaho!"

Own

Private

He played a small supporting role with only two lines in "Idaho." This was his big screen debut.

He was tall and handsome, with a delicate face and a slightly shy expression.

"Hi, Hayley."

"— Jim." Hayley actually didn't remember his name.

Jim said a few words to Juven and then walked away. Before he left, he looked at Hayley again, as if he wanted to say something, but didn't.

"Hey!

Don't look at him!

Look at me! "Juven pinched her chin unhappily.

"Huh?

Oh, I'm thinking about when I've seen him.

I've seen him, haven't I? "

"I don't know.

Have you seen him? "He was a little jealous.

"I don't remember. Not everyone remembers," she said carelessly.

Kinou didn't invite Helen to dinner after that.

But he invited Hayley to dinner a few times, and sometimes Juven was there.

The two of them often went in and out of the Marmont Manor Hotel. Most of the time, if she had an appointment with Juven, they would go together, and Kinou would take her on his motorcycle. So the tabloids all said that Kinou was dating Beverly Princess.

Before the end of August, Kinou broke up with Sofia.

Keanu did not take the gossip in the tabloids seriously.

Juven knew that it was all groundless speculation, so he didn't take it seriously either.

As for Hayley, she didn't pay attention to the gossip at all.

A few days later, Harry Seissberg asked Hayley out for lunch.

Hayley still brought Savannah with her.

Hari put the car keys in a small box on the dining table and pushed it over. "This is the Beetles you used to drive. You don't have a car, so it's inconvenient."

Hayley looked at him. "Are you giving it to me?"

"Yes.

If you're willing to accept it, we can go through the transfer procedures this afternoon. "

"Do you want to date me?"

"That's what I think.

A car is just a means of transportation. Whether you accept it or not, don't count it together. "

Hayley nodded. "I want this car, but I don't want to date you."

Savannah couldn't sit still. "I'm going to the bathroom." She ran away as fast as she could.

"What's the reason?" Hari was quite calm.

"I'm not 18 years old yet."

"That's not a reason."

"I don't like you." That was a very good reason.

"Tell me, why don't you like me?" Hari had to admire himself for being so calm.

"Am I not as good-looking as that little Phoenix, or am I not as rich as him?"

Hayley nodded affirmatively. "You're not as beautiful as him."

"What can a beautiful face do?"

Hari said contemptuously. "I can provide you with a much better life than you have now, and I love you very much. Isn't that enough?"

Hayley was a little stunned, then she laughed for a long time.

She was beautiful and cute. Even if he knew she was mocking him, he couldn't get angry with her.

"You're wrong when you say that a beautiful face is nothing."

She was still laughing. "If I'm not beautiful, a rich young master like you won't even look at me.

You're very interesting. You look down on those beautiful Hollywood actors, but aren't you also a guy who only looks at beautiful faces? "

"That's different."

"Tell me, what's different?" She imitated Hari's tone and asked him.

"Of course a girl needs to be beautiful. Beauty is an indispensable appearance.

Men don't need to be too beautiful. They need personal ability, intelligence, and other internal factors. "

"I agree.

Look at Helen. She has beauty, so she can get anything she wants, including people. "

"You're different from Helen.

I like you. I've liked you since you were 15 years old. "

"Do you like Lolita?" She suddenly asked.

"What?"

"Lolita, a novel. It was once a banned book.

I think you should have read it. "

"What's that?"

"Pretend I didn't say anything."

"I'm not that kind of frivolous man. If you don't want to, I think I can still accept it. But I won't give up just because you rejected me once.

You're still young. You don't know what you want.

You can think about it. "

"En?

What do you think I want? You mean, I don't know what kind of life I want? "

"Helen said you were born into a rich aristocratic family. I've done my research on her and you. When you came from Germany, you didn't seem to be very rich.

But you've received a good education and upbringing. It's easy to see.

You've never lived a poor life. You don't know how to do housework, and you've never had to worry about making a living. You only know how to spend money and enjoy life. You can only live the life you have now. If the quality of life drops a little, you won't be able to bear it. Maybe you can bear it for a few days or a few months.

"You're right, but many people know this."
