"This name seems a little familiar...".
Perhaps it really is a more famous film and television company.
Perhaps he saw her while watching some movie.
Without thinking twice, Alex dialed the specified number, and a man picked up the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Alex."
"We sincerely want to work with you, I would like to know if you can come to our office now to talk about this in more detail?"
"Just so we can have lunch together."
With this reminder, Alex noticed that the time was already approaching noon.
"Sorry, I don't have time right now."
"I see, this is a good time for creativity."
"No, it's because it's time for me to go to bed."
Alex noticeably felt a pause in the other person's tone before continuing to say, "It's clear, a master of words like you need to sleep a lot to replenish your imagination."
"No, it's just my habit."
"In that case, let's make an appointment for the afternoon."
"Okay, then at three o'clock in the afternoon."
Alex called the time and hung up, discussing other details.
When he hung up, there was a loud noise from the other side.
It was obvious that the phone had been abandoned.
Alex shook his head indifferently.
Not a very good character.
If the meeting doesn't take place in the afternoon, then it's time to work with another film company.
"Let's have a snack first, and then take a nap."
Stretching in his chair, Alex yawned and headed towards the kitchen.
On the roof.
Gwen woke up from a dream and continued to look at the water on the table.
Suddenly a light breeze blew.
While it pleased Gwen, it also caused ripples on the surface of the glass of water.
Instantly, a flash of light flashed through Gwen's head.
"I get it!"
"Alex means I have to be like this glass of water, stay calm no matter the situation."
"And be like this glass of water, adapting and changing to bad situations."
"The only thing that remains unchanged is that it will always be water."
After thinking about it, Gwen's thoughts became more enlightened.
"The awakening of my superpowers is a storm I'm facing, I shouldn't be so decrepit, I need to learn how to adapt to this superpower."
"Get to know this superpower and then control it."
"Then use it to do more things.".
Thinking about it, the confusion she felt when she first came to Alex's house disappeared from her mind.
"By the way, where is Mr. Alex?"
Gwen didn't find Alex's figure on the other chair, and there was a smell coming from inside.
Gwen sniffed.
"It smells good!"
Following the direction from which the smell came, Gwen walked into the kitchen and saw Alex's back busy in the kitchen.
"Are you awake?"
"Yes, are you cooking something delicious?"
The aroma of food filled the room, making Gwen feel an appetite.
She could have sworn it had never smelled so good here.
"Lunch, I made you one too."
"Sit down, he'll be ready in a minute."
"Mmm!"
Gwen nodded excitedly, obediently went to the table and sat down.
Soon Alex came out with two plates of fried rice.
Gwen looked at the fried rice placed in front of her, each of which was crystal clear and full of well-defined grains.
The color of the side dish lying on top also complemented the golden brown rice.
It was simply not fried rice, but an incomparable work of art.
"Let's get started."
Gwen couldn't resist for a long time, took a spoon and put a piece right in her mouth.
Mmmm!!!
The moment it hit her mouth, Gwen's eyes seemed to light up.
"Alex, it's really so delicious!".
"I've never tasted anything so delicious before."
In response to this praise, Alex rightly nodded.
"Eat more, if it's delicious, there's still some in the pot."
"Come and help yourself when you're done eating."
"Good~"
Gwen said with satisfaction.
While she was eating, she didn't forget to continue, "Alex, I realized what this glass of water means."
"Hmm?"
Alex's movements froze.
What can it mean?
"You mean that my friend should think like water and maintain a normal state, and also accept his changes like water."
"Am I right?"
"Yes, that's right!"
What else could Alex say?
An ordinary glass of water could make Gwen realize such a philosophy of life.
If it were in the Renaissance.
Gwen would be a philosopher for the ages.
Unfortunately, this is not the case.
After receiving a compliment from Alex, Gwen felt that the rice on her plate smelled even better.
She couldn't resist taking a few more bites.
The dinner was held in a pleasant atmosphere.
"Alex, thank you for your hospitality."
"I have a rehearsal this afternoon, and I need to go urgently."
Unbeknownst to her, Gwen has become quite close to Alex.
When she saw that Alex wasn't outraged.
Gwen's heart skipped a beat, too.
Only then did Alex remember that Gwen, the Ghost Spider-Man, was not as calm as the usual Gwen.
Rather, she was a rock music lover.
The percussive drummer in the band.
"Okay, just this afternoon I'm going to the film company."
"I'll talk to them about film and TV adaptations."
"Really? Are you adapting your novel into a movie?".
Alex nodded, and then continued: "It's not certain yet, we'll find out after we talk this afternoon."
"It's definitely possible because I'm a big fan of yours."
"I look forward to the day when these great works will be transferred to the screen."
"So can I ask you to come and watch it with me then?"
"Huh?"
Gwen couldn't believe her ears.
Had Alex invited her to the movie himself?
"Of course... No problem."
Looking at Gwen's reaction, Alex suddenly asked with some curiosity: "Gwen, have you had a relationship yet?".
"My dad is a little strict, so...".
The subtext was obvious - there was no relationship!
Alex was instantly amused.
"Your father did the right thing!"
Alex mentally nodded to George!
