Hollywood (我就是好莱坞) Part II

CHAPTER 231- "You have to marry me!"

Eric leaned on his bed as he watched the nude Elisabeth flee into the bathroom. He was going to freshen up and do his morning exercise when Elisabeth, now wearing a bathrobe, returned from the bathroom.

Elisabeth gripped the collar of her bathrobe as a hint of nervousness appeared between her eyes, but she stared straight at Eric before she said, "Eric, I've thought about it. Although I haven't known you for a long time, I think you are a good man."

Upon hearing her words, Eric suddenly had a premonition, but before he could say anything, Elisabeth continued, "We went to bed last night, but I am not a casual woman, so, so..."

After hesitating for a few seconds, she finally said with all her might, "So, you have to marry me!"

After she finished these words, she slightly panted as if she had used up all the power in her body, but her eyes still stared at Eric, waiting for his answer.

Eric stiffened for a few seconds before he slowly said, "What... the... fuck!"

**********

In Julia's apartment, Elisabeth sat on the couch and narrated her story.

Julia, who was sitting beside her, listened with relish when Elisabeth suddenly stopped after she said that she had asked Eric to marry her.

Julia quickly looked up and asked, "Well, what happened after that? Finish the story!"

Elisabeth shook her head and said, "Then... he ran away."

Julia subconsciously asked, "What?"

Elisabeth made a running gesture with her hands and said, "Eric put on his clothes, opened the door and ran away. By the time I realized what had happened, he was nowhere to be found. I even checked the whole mansion."

Then, the two women looked at each other for a few seconds. Elisabeth bit her lip and didn't seem to know what to say. Suddenly, Julia burst out in laughter as she slapped the couch.

"Hahaha, Eric is such a jerk! Hahaha, he ran away! Hahaha..."

Elisabeth picked up a pillow and threw it at Julia as she yelled, "Hey, don't laugh!"

However, Elisabeth's embarrassment only seemed to exacerbate Julia's laughter. Finally, Elisabeth said in a gloomy tone, "If you laugh again, I won't talk to you ever again!"

Julia quickly stifled her laughter and took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Suddenly, she seemed to recall something as she glared and asked, "So, you lied to me when you called me this morning and said that you had already left Eric's place?"

"I... I didn't know what to tell you, but this... why do you care about the details?!"

Julia looked at Elizabeth, who was getting annoyed, and quickly said, "Okay, okay, I won't ask, but what happened afterward?"

"What do you mean afterward?"

"Didn't you think about destroying that asshole's expensive things, such as electronics and watches?"

Julia felt that since a rich and pampered girl like Elisabeth had been humiliated like this by Eric, she would've definitely given in to impulse and done something.

"How could I be so naive?!" retorted Elisabeth, but faced with Julia's questioning face, she finally lowered her head and admitted, "I mean, I was really angry at first. If he didn't want to marry me, he should've just told me clearly on the spot. Why did he run away without saying a word? For a moment, I had thought of burning his mansion."

Julia covered her mouth in surprise and asked, "Isn't that a bit too much?"

Elisabeth ignored Julia's reaction and continued, "I found a barrel of gasoline in the garage, but I couldn't find anything to ignite it. By then, I had calmed down, so I decided to come here."
