Chapter 667 Seems Bad
"The water in the vase should be changed, Lucy. Also, ask Dick to tidy up the storage room again, I don't want to see things being messed up." Annie in formal attire said while walking with the maid, "Also, When Brill comes, remember to tell him that the shrubs on the east side of the garden should be pruned."
Speaking of which, she stopped and reached out to wipe the window sill, then nodded to the maid beside her: "Good job."
"Miss Anne..." Another maid hurried over at this moment, with a hesitant look as if she wanted to say something but dared not say it.
Annie frowned, then sighed again: "Is she not up yet?"
The other party shook his head.
"So... did she..." Annie gestured with a wry smile.
"No, I knocked on the door twice, and came down after there was a muffled sound from behind." The maid shook her head, and then added: "Actually, Miss Angela would apologize to us in private, but... "
"Okay, Verina, it's okay," Annie said reassuringly, "She's just tired and needs to rest, we all know that she's been tense like clockwork these past few years, and she'll be fine when she takes a good rest gone."
She raised her head to look at the distant clock, sighed subtly, and then said to the two maids: "Well, I'll go up and see her, and you can deal with other things first. What's the problem, I'll talk about it when I get back."
After the maid expressed her understanding, Annie immediately went upstairs, and soon she came outside Angela's room.There were two light knocks, but there was no response from inside. Annie tried to twist the doorknob, but unexpectedly the door opened with a click.
"Angie?" Annie poked her head out and tried to call out. There was no sound in the dim room, and she saw the person curled up on the bed after turning sideways to let the light from the door shine in.
Sighing again in her heart, Annie picked up the pillow that fell on the floor and put it on the bed: "Angie, it's time to get up."
The person under the blanket uttered a few meaningless syllables, turned over and then stopped moving again.
Annie shook her head and took a few steps to the front of the balcony and opened the thick curtains, and the bright and dazzling sunlight immediately filled the dark bedroom.There was a painful moan on the bed, followed by a sullen voice: "Who told you to open the curtains!"
"It's almost 11 o'clock, Angie." Annie looked worriedly at Angela who covered her eyes with her hands. "Lying in bed for a long time and doing nothing is not good for your health."
Angela didn't reply, she covered her eyes for a while before sitting up slowly, straightened her pajamas a little and leaned against the head of the bed.Long golden-brown hair was messily draped over his shoulders, his brows were always furrowed vaguely, his eyes were slightly open without the slightest light, and he looked drowsy as if he had completely lost his vitality.
"Once in a while it's not a big deal..." she muttered, as if answering Anne or talking to herself.
"Occasionally?" Annie smiled wryly, "You have been like this for more than half a month, Angie."
Angela opened her dull eyes and glanced at her, then got out of bed and walked slowly to the door of the balcony.After she raised her hand to block the glare of the sun, she said casually: "So what, it's only been half a month. Could it be that I've been tired for so long and can't even take a rest?"
"But..." A look of anxiety flashed in Annie's eyes, "I have to do something, right? Playing the piano or writing and drawing, so that I can quickly get into the mood when making movies or music in the future. "
"Is it convenient to get into the state later?" Angela suddenly laughed a little nervously, "Is there anything else I need to do? Tell me, Anne, is there anything else I need to do? I am the youngest Oscar winner for best director, and I am an American National idol, I have achievements that no one can match, I am the third richest man in the world! Tell me, what else do I need to do?!"
The voice became louder and louder, and there was even a bit of madness in it. Finally, she was able to restrain herself. After speaking as if venting, she took a few breaths and slowly returned to the bed to lie down: "Pull up...let me Sleep a little longer."
Annie covered her mouth sadly, silently closed the curtains for Angela and left the bedroom.When she went downstairs to the empty room, she held her face and sighed deeply, she was so confused that she didn't know what to do.
"Why, hasn't she gotten up yet?" Alizee suddenly pushed the door open and came in, and frowned when she saw Annie tidying up her appearance in shock—her expression was somewhat richer in front of Annie.
"Okay, Annie, don't be sad." She walked over and hugged him comfortingly.
"I'm very worried, Lily, if Angie continues like this, I don't know what will happen." Annie smiled wryly and hugged Alizee, as if she wanted to draw some strength from her, "On her 25th birthday, apart from us No one is around, and this is the first time I've been with her."
"As long as she wants, she can hold a grand party at any time." Alizee said sarcastically, biting the word "grand" very hard.
"Don't be like this, Lily." Annie shook her head sadly, "You know the reason."
Alizee pursed her lips, then snorted coldly and said, "Let her go, Annie, anyway, it's not the first time this has happened, she will get over it by herself. As long as she doesn't reflect on her mistakes, this kind of thing will happen sooner or later." It will happen again, can you worry about it? Look at how much she gave up for the best director!"
"Lily!" Annie suddenly yelled loudly, and the expression on her face became unattractive, "I thought you had been by her side more than me these few years, and you should know Angie better than me!"
"Did I say something wrong? Isn't this the truth?" Alizee also became a little angry, "Let's not talk about what you can help her, how long can you help her? Has she accepted your kindness? In your heart forever..."
She said angrily and made a gesture that both of them understood, and then turned her head aside.
Annie was silent for a few seconds before she stared at Alizee and asked softly, "What about you, Lily? Why are you so angry? Are you dissatisfied with me? Or are you..."
"Enough!" Alizee interrupted Annie's speech suddenly, her chest was heaving and rising, and even her face was flushed, her gritted teeth were quite different from the usual expressionless iceberg woman.Alizee like this has never appeared in front of others, including Angela.
There was a sudden silence in the room, and the two women looked at each other with their lips pursed and said nothing.After a long time, Alizee turned around and walked out, and said in a calm tone: "That's it, remember to remind Angie, if you don't need it, open the dismissal letter, I have been idle for a long time."
After Alizee walked out of the room quickly, Annie held her face again with a wry smile, but after she put down her hands and walked out of the room, she immediately turned into that capable housekeeper again.
"Are you up, Angie?" As soon as she came to the living room, she saw Angela coming down the stairs, and she smiled immediately.Although Angela still looked sluggish and wore a simple short-sleeved T-shirt and baggy trousers, she was always much better after washing and washing than when she was leaning on the bed.
"Get up." Angela answered briefly and went straight to the back of the bar counter, found the glass and added a few cubes of ice, then took a bottle of whiskey and was about to pour it down.But a hand stretched out from the side, and unceremoniously snatched the cup from her hand, even spilling some of the amber liquid on the counter.
"What are you doing!" Angela turned her head and glared at Annie angrily.
"You just woke up, and drinking on an empty stomach is not good for your health." Annie put the cup aside, looked at her and said plainly, but the lack of discussion in her tone was very obvious.
"I don't know when you started playing the role of my mother." Angela said sarcastically.
"If necessary, I will call Mrs. Elena." Anne remained calm.
"You!" Angela's lips trembled slightly, and she didn't speak for a while.
"There is plenty of time to drink, it doesn't have to be right now." Annie put on a comforting tone.
Angela looked at Annie who was persisting in front of her, and then at the cup not far away, bit her lips and finally softened: "Got it."
Annie immediately breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. This kind of dispute has happened many times, and every time it ended with her making a concession.Now she doesn't intend to accommodate anymore, but fortunately Angela didn't get angry because of this, which made her more confident.
"Let's go to the restaurant. I'll let Foley make lunch right away. What do you want to use? How about Italian pine nut pasta with thinly sliced apple pie?" Annie said with a brisk tone, putting on a smile, "If you want to try 'dong Baojiqing'—well, I still can’t speak this Chinese—I can try to do it for you, but I’m afraid it’s only half as good as Mrs. Martha’s.”
Angela didn't speak, but just looked at Annie fixedly, without looking away for a long time.
Annie's heartbeat couldn't help but sped up slightly, she took a few quick breaths secretly, and asked in a joking tone: "Why, do I look like spaghetti pine nuts?"
Angela raised the corners of her mouth slightly as a response, and then walked into the restaurant: "Then 'Kung Pao Chicken', I will eat whatever you fry."
"No problem!" Annie, who was slightly relieved, immediately walked to the kitchen.
Still spending the whole afternoon bored in the garden, Angela often sat in the garden in the past few days with distracted eyes, basically sitting for an entire afternoon and never talking to anyone.
But the difference today is that Annie will find Angela to talk to her from time to time, and she is very familiar with Angela, she can always leave before the other party shows impatience, and come over to continue talking about some topics after she regains her calm.
However, Alizee has been pouring cold water on her.
"It's useless at all, just look at her. Besides, will you accompany her when she goes outside, especially at night? Will she allow you to accompany her?" she said.
