Leaving the Warner Television Network, Nicholson didn't go home but headed straight to Martin's place. He found Martin, Elizabeth, and Lily Carter leisurely drinking tea in the yard, discussing when to move.
Martin greeted Nicholson to take a seat wherever, and Elizabeth poured him a cup of black tea.
With a pen in her hand spinning like a carving knife on her fingertips, Lily said, "The renovation is all finished, we can move anytime."
"Let's air it out for a while first," Martin said, reflecting his habitual thinking, "We'll talk about it in a couple of months."
Elizabeth nodded, "That sounds good too."
Lily didn't retort, to avoid attracting the iron fist of concern, "Whatever you say."
Nicholson, knowing that Martin had bought Pitt's mansion in the Beverly Hills Sunset Boulevard North Area, took a sip of his black tea and said, "It seems we're not too far apart. I could set up a cannon on my rooftop and fire celebratory shells into your new house."
