Chapter 178
Carl couldn't figure out what was going on in Lex's mind, which seemed to be the norm between them.
as Carl.As with Al, as with Superman, Lex.Luthor's mind was like a great enigma, and Carl felt he knew nothing about Lex other than unquestionable feelings—feelings plentiful enough, both positive and negative.
But that doesn't matter, Karl even enjoys it quite a bit.
You have to know that there are not many secrets in the world that can be kept from an alien who has super hearing and super vision, and has built a thinking palace in his mind.
Things are always rarer and more precious, and the character trait of "difficult to understand" itself is a charm that easily arouses Carl's interest.
Of course, whether as a lover or as an old enemy, Carl is still very familiar with Lex, so familiar that he can almost guess Lex's thoughts based on experience and intuition.
One of the truths he knew was that you should never wake a person who is pretending to be asleep.
All the topics related to Superman were skipped in Lex's seemingly understatement, but in fact, he avoided it obviously. Carl ended the temptation appropriately, and did not intend to make too much entanglement.
They ordered room service, sparkling wine and dessert.
Lex didn't have a fixed preference for sweets, so Carl's favorite dark chocolate cake was served in the end. When the slightly bitter chocolate melted on the tip of his tongue, Carl couldn't help showing a smile.
"I thought you would prefer something sweeter." Lex held the wine glass, watching Carl's face buried in his mouth, "but you like sour soda and bitter dark chocolate, I have to say that's a bit off Your stereotype, Honey."
"Don't make a fuss, Lexi, I'm a living person, living people are always changing with time, there is no so-called 'inherent image'." Carl took the time between chewing to answer, "Aren't you going to come again? Your You only took one bite of the cake."
"Do me a favor, Honey, and take my share. You know I rarely eat these things."
Carl accepted without a doubt.
Around one o'clock in the afternoon, Lex received a text message from Moxie, and they were told by the police station that they could leave.In fact, Lex was able to leave without hesitation last night, but he did not use his privileges because of the shaping of his external image and the upcoming assassination by the Winter Soldier.
The people from the police station were very helpful to him and reciprocated without disturbing him. They just politely asked the secretary Moxi who was also on the scene at the time. When they were allowed to leave freely, the attitude of those people was very respectful.
"I've made a small investment here," Lex told Carl, "and most of the proceeds have been donated to the authorities."
Apart from lamenting that Lex's style of distributing money all over the world is very familiar, and that his friends, including himself, seem to have this style of painting, Carl has nothing to comment on.
They broke up downstairs at the hotel because of an international conference that Lex was going to attend.
Unlike Carl, Lex's schedule is always very busy. Although most of the events in it are just listed on it, used to cover up Lex's secret operations, there are always one or two contracts and meetings on it. Ask Lex to come and negotiate in person.
"I'm sorry, Honey," Lex said. "If you don't have plans, you can come with me."
"Come on Lexie, I'm not too interested in the business stuff, and I'm not out of work, Nini is in Manhattan, I can drop by and see him. Also, the two new movie sets that are being filmed Just in New York, I think I can visit my conscientious secretary Rao, he always remembers to take time to do his job well during the filming process." Carl thought for a while, "And Bruce—Let's talk about Bruce. .”
Lex commented: "Sometimes you are really like a butterfly, flying around in the garden, showing no mercy."
"In my barren land," Carl said, "you are my only rose."
They exchanged an affectionate kiss.
Andrew and Mercy stood side by side in the corner, both of them expressionless.
Moxi raised her eyes and glanced at Andrew quietly, and began to miss Rao who would stand where Andrew stood in the past.
Both she and Rao are serious-looking types who have a lot of drama in their hearts. They have gotten to know each other well enough to complain about their respective bosses who are in love together, and this driver?The condensed breath when he stood beside her couldn't be more obvious, and he was absolutely silent.
Fortunately, the waiting time was not too long. Within a few minutes, my boss and his little boyfriend finished their lingering goodbye, and walked over with a smile that was ten percent more pleasant than usual.
"Come on, Mercy," he said. "Hurry up, we have a busy job."
Who is the reason why the task is so tight, Moxi complained in his heart, isn't it all because you must stay in the hotel, waiting for the assassination of the Winter Soldier, waiting for Superman's rescue, and waiting for Carl's visit?
"Go and see the set." Carl got in the car and said to Andrew.
The filming of "Captain America" and "Agent Carter" has come to an end, or in fact it has been filmed, and now it is just that the director, driven by obsessive-compulsive disorder, asks the actors to make up some small details that she is not satisfied with.
Carl didn't put much energy into D&M, and the whole world knew it.
When it was first established, D&M did carry some of Karl's small delusions and big plans, but now it is far from the time for his plan to be implemented. Before the plan is implemented, the film and television company only needs to accumulate strength silently.
If he needed to worry about such a simple matter, Karl would wonder whether Alexander was dissatisfied with him.
He doesn't care much about the company, and he doesn't care at all.Last time "Hannibal" won the award, he attended the awards ceremony. After the movie version of "A Game of Cat and Mouse" was released, he reluctantly expressed his gratitude on the public account, not to mention the sensational story by Stark , Wayne, Al, and the Lex Group initiated the movie promotion interaction, but he publicly thanked his friends.
Having said that, Stark, Wayne, and Al are all companies named after their surnames. As for the Lex Group, Lex named it after himself. His company name is really out of place among these four companies.
However, among the four billionaires, the other identities of three members are all superheroes.
Lex alone has a hidden identity as a supervillain.
Thinking about it this way, the small sense of disobedience in the company name suddenly became nothing.
When Carl arrived at the set, it was time for a break, and Luo was sitting on a sofa chair near the gate, curling up comfortably in the chair with his upper body curled up, but his white and bare legs crossed and crossed in the aisle unscrupulously.
People passing by had to avoid her legs specifically, but they couldn't get angry with her.
"Come in, my dear little prince, my little boy." Her tone was deep in her mouth, bringing out a sticky lingering, "You finally remembered your little toy, huh?"
"Long time no see, Lucia." Carl looked at the whole crew curiously, "I know you can complete the work you asked for, and I came here today because of my secretary Rao. Is he okay? You didn't rely on you If it's the director, just bully him? His part has already been filmed, I'll pick him up and go home."
"'I'll take him home'." Luo said it lightly, and sighed faintly, "This sentence is so sweet, my dear, why can't you take me home too? Come on, your family can big enough."
Carl heard the uncontrollable gasp of someone on the set, and Lo could definitely hear it too.
She is just happy to watch a good show, lest the world will not be chaotic, and she can't bear things to become uninteresting.
"I can't do this. Alexander doesn't like me getting involved in your quarrel, and I don't want to get involved."
Carl heard sighs, and more exclamations to accompany them.
Probably Lucia.Mora and Alexander.Al's gossip was going to spread in the tabloids and the public, and whatever, Lucia dragged him down out of boredom.
"They just like to hear it." Lucia changed her attitude when she heard Alexander's name, and she used this seemingly insignificant remark as a concession and reconciliation, and then she said, "Rao is in his lounge , go to him, my dear, his mood was very stable when you were away, and you educated him very well."
"I didn't educate him. I didn't manipulate him or control him or take advantage of him. He wasn't my entourage. It was the opposite. I felt like I was his entourage," Carl said. "He always felt like I gave him strength. And I think he gave me strength."
Rao's emaciated body when he rescued him from the laboratory, and the ferocious eyes of his little wolf flashed through Karl's memory.
He turned and walked towards the lounge, and Rao, who just knew Karl would come to visit him on the set, pushed the door out in a hurry.
"Carl!" Rao exclaimed in surprise and joy, showing a bright smile.
He is wearing a white short-sleeved T-shirt. His strong and fit body stretches out the smooth outline of the T-shirt, which makes people feel that such a dress that does not modify himself is almost showing off. The light-colored sweatpants are looser, but more Can reflect his tall and slender.
He is healthy, handsome and confident now, completely different from when we first met.
He hasn't made a great contribution like Captain America, but why should he be a war hero?
Carl laughed too.
"Rao." He said briskly, "Is it fun to make a movie? Luo has a bad personality, and I can imagine how maddening she is. It's nothing serious when you're away, but I went to my brother Tan was there and had a fight with Bruce - I think the whole world knows about it."
"Yes boss, the whole world knows." Rao suppressed a smile, "We are all betting how long it will take for you to get back together."
"How long have you been betting?"
"One month, boss."
"Wow." Carl sighed inexplicably, "Is my temper really that good?"
