Starting from Santa Monica, Los Angeles, drive more than 20 kilometres west along California Highway 1 to reach Malibu.
The 1980s was a peak period for the development of the real estate industry in the United States, and the beautiful Malibu inevitably became the focus of many real estate companies. It was during this period that countless mansions and villas were built along the coastline of Malibu, making this small town gradually become a feng shui treasure land for Hollywood stars and celebrities.
However, in 1986, Malibu is not even officially recognized as a city under the name of Los Angeles County. The entire Malibu area, from Santa Monica in the east to Ventura in the west, has a total of less than 8,000 permanent residents along the long 40-kilometre coastline.
The sharp corner in the centre of the Malibu area is the famous Dumei Cape Park. On the seaside cliffs on both sides of Dumei Point, there are some of the most luxurious sea-view mansions in the Malibu area.
It was past 11 p.m., and the lights were still on in a cliff villa on the right side of Dumei Cape Park.
Having just returned from a party in the city, Janet Johnston took a comfortable soak and came out of the bathroom in a light nightgown.
In the living room, Catherine was still dressed in the same shirt and trousers she had at the party, and was sitting on the sofa looking through the new shooting budget for "Blood Dead Night". As the financial situation of the film's backers deteriorated further, and the film's budget was reduced from $6 million to $5 million, Katherine just got a brand new budget sheet from the producers at the party tonight and was frowning at this time.
Janet looked at Catherine on the sofa, her back straightened habitually, with a quiet and restrained breath all over her body, and she subconsciously relaxed her steps.
She moved to Catherine's side like a cat, and her small paws were about to reach the woman's waist. Catherine turned her head and glared at her helplessly. Janet giggled, not at all conscious of being found of the prank, and sat down next to Catherine in a very unimpressive manner.
Playing with Catherine's long hair, Janet said, "Kate, I don't like that guy at all. Don't you have to deal with him in the future,?"
Catherine turned the page of the budget table in her hand and said, "Jim is a good person, and we are just ordinary friends."
Janet curled her lips: "You think I'm blind, at the party tonight, even a ghost can see that he is courting you. The most extreme thing is that he has a wife."
Hearing Janet say this, Catherine paused, her eyes still on the budget table, but her eyes were a little wandering. After a while, the woman said softly, "Jenny, I understand."
Feeling Catherine's sudden depression, Janet's body was crooked and crooked again, and she lay down unconsciously, but her head was on Catherine's lap, she blinked and looked at the woman above her and said, "Kate, it's not bad for us to live together forever, we don't need a man at all."
Catherine took the budget sheet away with a smile on her face. , said: "Jenny, you started talking nonsense again."
"No," Janet turned her head and put a sticker on Catherine, saying: "I am officially confessing to you, if you don't agree, I will be sad."
Catherine touched Janet's fair face lightly, and said, "If you are sad, just go to bed, just get some sleep."
"Wow, you ruthless woman, I hate you."
Look Catherine smiled at Janet, who was holding her fingers like a mouse, "Haven't you thought about finding a boyfriend?"
"My requirements are too high, I can't find it."
Catherine became curious. , said: "I haven't known your request to find a boyfriend, tell me?"
"Well," Janet pondered and said, "First of all, he has to be handsome, even if he's not good-looking, but won't affect my mood. Second, he must be younger than me, eighteen years old is fine, I don't want to accompany him, Growing old with a guy, that's horrible. Again, um, he can't be normal, better be a little crazy than me. A lunatic in a movie must be killed by the protagonist, and two lunatics can destroy the world. Finally, To destroy the world, his talent must be a little bit higher than mine."
Listening to Janet speaking so indifferently, the smile on Catherine's face grew stronger and stronger, and when she finished, she said, " It seems that I know such a person, he is completely tailor-made for you by God."
"Simon Westeros?" Janet rolled her eyes: "Bah, it's not."
Catherine still smiled and said: " Simon completely meets your four requirements, why not?"
"He don't have any energy," Janet said, drawing circles in the air with her slender fingers, "he still claims to be from a mental hospital. It looks like he came out of a nursing home. His temper is so soft, I even doubt whether he has fought since he was a child. I don't want my boyfriend to be younger than me, but he will accommodate me like an elder."
Catherine thought about When Simon was getting along, she couldn't help but retort: "Simon is a gentleman, so he doesn't have a temper. Besides, isn't it good? Don't you want your boyfriend to beat you?"
"Of course," Janet nodded, looking hopelessly hopeful, and said, "As long as he loves me, it's okay to be violent once or twice a month."
Catherine felt a little broken, and she didn't have much confidence. she retorted: "People who love each other will not hurt each other."
Janet said immediately: "No, only two people who have no feelings for each other at all disdain to hurt each other."
"Okay," Catherine was completely defeated, shook her head and said, "I still don't want to chat with you. If we continue to chat, my worldview may be distorted by you."
Janet giggled smugly, but then took Katherine's hand with a serious face and said, "Kate, I'm serious. When you're single, you can do anything, but if you're married, Women should not be too strong, otherwise, the results will be very bad. Many times, you are too strong."
Catherine listened carefully, but then jokingly pushed Janet who was still on her lap, saying: "Get up, I don't want to listen to a girl who has never been in love teach me this."
"You are prejudiced," Janet suddenly became dissatisfied and said, "Who said that you can't empathize with someone who has never been in love, I'm so unforgettable about this kind of thing."
Catherine looked at Janet's face, and said suddenly: "I suddenly understand, no wonder you are so resistant to finding a boyfriend, it turns out that there is a shadow."
Even so, Catherine Consciously does not ask.
Janet also suddenly became quiet, her eyes fixed on the expensive crystal chandelier on the ceiling of the living room.
After so quiet for a moment, the phone in the living room suddenly rang.
Janet immediately twisted her body and complained, "Well, it's so annoying, it's so late, Kate, can we not pick up?"
Catherine hesitated, nodded, and said, "Okay, it's more likely to be looking for you anyway. Yes ."
So.
After persisting for a while, Janet said, "Okay, okay, get it for me."
Catherine smiled and picked up the phone on the coffee table next to her, and handed the receiver to Janet.
However, just after hearing what the other side said, Janet, handed back the microphone angrily: "It's looking for you."
Catherine was a little puzzled, who would be looking for her at this time.
She put the phone to her ear, answered with a sound, and began to say something.
Janet, who had been absent-minded at first, noticed that Catherine's body was gradually tense, and realized something, she immediately sat up and put her ears close.
However, before I could hear anything, Catherine said: "Okay, I will rush over as soon as possible, UCLA Medical Center, the one on 15th Street, right... um, then, goodbye."
Hang up the phone, Catherine looked at Janet with concern and curiosity in her eyes, her expression was a little more ambiguous, and said, "Simon fought with someone, was caught by the police, and is now in the hospital."
Janet blinked her eyes. , then curled her lips in disgust, and said, "It's useless."
Although she said that, watching Catherine get up, Janet changed her clothes in a hurry, and the two women drove together to UCLA Medical in downtown Santa Monica centre.
