Chapter 93: The Restroom

  Kristin hadn't expected that the girl would easily lead them into the record store, and from her mannerisms, it seemed like she really was a friend of Ryan Jenkins'.

  The female broker left after leading them into the resting room, and Kristen could only wait boredly here, because the girl who led them in was taciturn, just looking at a book on psychology by herself.

  However, Kristen was still excited as there were many instruments and several items that belonged to the boys. It wouldn't be surprising if they had been used by Ryan Jenkins. Both she and Lyle wanted to take a closer look but knew it would be inappropriate.

  It's just that after waiting for a while, I can get close to my idol, compared to this, the others are not worth mentioning, right?

  "Hey, what's your name?" It wasn't until now that Kristen realized she still didn't know the girl's name.

  "Natalie Hershell." The girl's voice was very calm and slightly arrogant.

  Kristen was also a proud and arrogant person, shrugged her shoulders, and simply stopped talking.

  After a long time, the door of the rest room was pushed open from outside, and then a familiar male voice rang out, "Hey, Nate, great to see you!"

  Natalie stood up at this time, with a bright smile on her face, obviously in a very good mood.

  Ryan stepped forward quickly and lightly hugged the girl, Natalie deliberately used her forehead to gently nudge his chin, and they both laughed as they separated.

  "Hmm... Natt, you've grown taller." Rien brushed a hand against the other's head, already having an air of Matilda about him.

  "What a pity, still a big head shorter than me!"

  "Is that so?" Natalia gritted her teeth, a sting in her words, "Tall and thin, like a bamboo pole!"

  "Bamboo pole"

  "Bamboo pole?" Ryan's eyes widened, flexing his arm to show off his muscular build, "Have you ever seen a bamboo pole as strong as me?"

  Jin Silie rolled her eyes, knowing that if she let these two continue, it would definitely escalate into a quarrel. She quickly spoke up, "Nate, didn't you bring two friends over?"

  "Friend?" Ryan was a bit curious, had Natalie made new friends? This was a rare occurrence.

  "Not my friend, just your fan."

  Natalie said a few words in a low voice, and Ryan quickly understood what was going on. Since the other party had already come over, signing was just a minor matter.

  "Ray... Rayn..."

  "Uh... c-could we... get your autograph?"

  "Of course, no problem." Ryan smiled, his sunny smile easing the tension in the girl's face. "No need to be nervous, look, I also have two eyes and one nose, just like you, not a monster."

  The two girls burst out laughing, and Lyle quickly pulled out an autograph book, only to realize that he hadn't bought a record yet, and his face turned embarrassed.

  "It doesn't matter." Ryan roughly guessed the reason and whispered a few words to Burns, who nodded and instructed the staff to bring over two records.

  After asking Laila's name, Ryan quickly signed the autograph and handed it to her, then looked at another blonde girl.

  "Can you tell me your name?" Ryan scratched his head as he looked at the girl who was taking out a book from her backpack.

  "Christina..." Probably due to Ryan's friendly attitude, the girl gradually calmed down, "My full name? Christina Aquilera."

  "Alright, Christina Aguilera." Ryan didn't hesitate either, scribbling on the record and a few books, "Wishing all your dreams come true!"

  "Thanks, Ryan." Kristen's courage grew and she took the record from him, then surprisingly gave Ryan a light hug.

  Natalie stood behind Ryan, her brow furrowed slightly as she regretted bringing them in.

  "You're welcome."

  Ryan saw that the two girls were actually going to pay and quickly stopped them, "Just two records, consider it a gift from me."

  You're such a cheapskate! I've never even seen you give me a gift! Natalie scrunched up her nose.

  "Uh... how about we take a picture together?" Kristen asked timidly.

  "Alright." Ryan sighed, these little girls are really troublesome.

  Watching his opponent pull out a camera from his backpack, Ryan sighed, has chasing stars become so crazy this year?

  He simply pulled Natalie over and had a staff member on one side take two photos with them.

  At last, the two girls were finally satisfied. Compared to those who had lined up outside for so long, their gains were too great... Hmm, it was simply beyond their initial imagination.

  But Ryan didn't think that the trouble was over yet, and that girl named Kristen spoke up again, "Ryan, I've been selected for the Mickey Mouse Club, and soon I'll be going to Hollywood Records, can I come find you then?"

  "Mickey Mouse Club?" Ryan raised an eyebrow, he had heard of it, a musical variety show co-produced by Disney Television and Hollywood Records.

  "If there's a chance, we'll meet." Ryan just gave a vague answer, he didn't want to look for trouble.

  "Alright then, Ryan." Kristen waved goodbye to Lyle as he took three steps back, and followed a staff member out the door. "Ryan, we'll catch up in LA."

  It's better to be invisible, having crazy fan worship is a good thing, but being too close to fans can be a headache, Ryan rubbed his temples, this guy isn't easy to deal with, it's better to keep a distance.

  It's still good with Nate, except for occasionally teasing him a few times, nothing messy has ever happened.

  "Nate, need me to sign for you?" Ryan leaned over as Natalie fiddled with the records.

  "Sorry, I'm not interested in pop music." Natalie puckered up her mouth, but hypocritically put the record into her bag.

  "Let's go, we can talk about it back at the hotel." Ryan led the way out of the lounge.

  Getting into the black Cadillac, wanting to leave smoothly is not an easy thing. A large number of fans gathered on both sides of the road, blocking the way for the car to move forward. Many people held up Ryan's posters and shouted his name loudly.

  There were even crazier people who walked up to the car and slapped the window vigorously.

  No need to mention Gillian, Ryan also understood that at this moment, he absolutely could not roll down the window, otherwise only God would know what kind of crazy actions these fans would take.

  "I'm damned, I shouldn't have accompanied you back to the hotel, I should've gone home directly." Natalie sat beside him, somewhat helplessly.

  "Dear Nate, it's too heartbreaking to say that," Ryan made a hurt expression, "Can I understand that you're jealous?"

  "Jealous?" Natalie's eyes widened. "Me, jealous of you? Don't be ridiculous, Ryan, you're just a fool in my eyes!"

  "Stupid... stupid egg?" Ryan glared at Natalie, like a bear about to erupt in anger. "Dear Nat, you've hurt the genuine heart of a young man."

  "It's less now." Natalie pushed Ryan's face back as he leaned in close.

  After being stuck on the road for nearly half an hour, with the help of the staff, the car finally started moving slowly, and Ryan leaned back in his seat, enjoying Natalie's massage service.

  Although Natalie said harsh words, she knew Ryan must be very tired, especially when she saw him waving his wrist, she took the initiative to pull his right hand over and gently massaged it. Although her technique was not good, her kindness was rare, making Ryan feel much more comfortable.

  Back at the Waldorf Astoria Hotel, he still couldn't get any peace. Dozens of reporters gathered at the hotel entrance, and cameras were set up early on. It was clear that he would go through another baptism by fire.

  Ryan got out first, attracting the attention of the media, so Natalie could enter the hotel through a side door. However, when faced with questions from reporters, she avoided answering and rushed into the hotel lobby.

  This is a restricted area for reporters, Ryan met up with Natalie and rushed back to the suite, he was physically not tired but mentally exhausted.

  "Help yourself to whatever you want to drink, I'm going to take a good rest for a while."

  The two of them had never been polite to each other, and Ryan bluntly fell onto the sofa, asking in a low voice, "Nate, I heard from Pete that you agreed to participate in the filming of 'Schindler's List'?"

  "Uh-huh," Natalie nodded, "Didn't Patrick say you're going to Poland too?"

  "Yeah." Ryan got up from the couch, "That old Spielberg has called me several times, urging me to go to Poland."

  "Invite you to Poland?" Natalie was puzzled. Right, Ryan is talented, but not enough to be personally invited by Spielberg?

  "Don't forget, Spielberg is still the director of 'Jurassic Park', um... some twists and turns... that's how it is." Ryan roughly explained what happened between Universal Pictures and Spielberg, "When you enter a circle, you have to follow the rules of the game in that circle."

  "This circle is so complicated!" Natalie frowned.

  "It's not just this circle, in this country, every industry is like this, profit above all else." Ryan was quite open-minded, Hollywood, from the beginning to the end, was actually an extremely realistic arena of fame and fortune, as long as you followed the rules of the game and could bring benefits, you would be respected, otherwise you could only stand aside.

  Nate, I'll protect you! This thought flashed through his mind.

  "By the way, Nate, I've finished writing your script." Ryan suddenly remembered the most important thing.

  "Really?" Natalie's interest was piqued, "Quickly, bring it here and let me see."

  Ryan returned to the bedroom and handed Natalie the script for "Léon: The Professional".

  I'm taking a leave today to go on a blind date, so the second update will be late, sorry about that~~ Please collect and recommend~~
