🎉🎉A round of applause for the new patron
•Thomas Lindsay
---------
"That name... It sounds familiar..."
(Maybe it's just a well-known studio.)
(Maybe I saw this when I was watching a movie.)
Without thinking, Arthur dialed the number above and a man answered the phone.
"Hello, Mr. Morgan."
"We sincerely want to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are free to come to our company for a more detailed discussion?"
"We might as well have lunch while we talk."
It was because of the other party's reminder that Arthur realized that it was almost noon.
"Sorry, I don't have time right now."
"I understand, now is a good time for lunch."
"No, it's because it's time for my nap."
Arthur felt that the voice of the person on the other end had paused and then continued, "Understood, a writer like Mr. Morgan needs to get enough sleep to replenish his imagination."
"No, that's just a personal habit."
Click!
There was a grinding of teeth on the other end of the line.
Arthur has nothing to say.
Why are you in such a hurry?
(For a businessman, this guy gets angry very easily.)
"In that case, let's make an appointment for the afternoon."
"Okay, so 3 p.m."
Arthur chatted for a while, talked about other details, and hung up the phone.
Just before he hung up the phone, he heard a loud noise.
It was obvious that the other party's phone was thrown hard onto the ground.
Arthur shook his head calmly.
(This guy has a bad temper.)
(If the afternoon meeting doesn't work out, I'll have to go to another studio)
"Ahh, I'm going to make something to eat..."
"After that take a nap."
After Arthur stretched out in the chair, he yawned and walked towards the kitchen.
------------
On the roof.
Gwen woke up and continued looking at the water in the glass.
At that moment a light breeze blew.
Making Gwen feel refreshed, this breeze also caused ripples on the surface of the water in the cup.
In an instant, a light flashed in Gwen's mind.
"I see!"
"Arthur wants me to treat everything with a normal mind, just like this glass of water."
"Just like this glass of water, I need to adapt and change according to the environment."
"Just as if water is placed in a cup, it will take the shape of the cup, if water is placed in a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl."
"The only constant is that it will always be the same thing, water."
Thinking about this, Gwen's thoughts became clearer.
"Receiving these powers is like the breeze that passed through this glass. I shouldn't be so desperate. I have to learn to adapt to this situation."
"Become familiar with these powers and then control them."
"And then use it to do more things."
Gwen's eyes gradually became firmer.
After she was enlightened, she no longer felt confused like when she arrived at Arthur's house earlier.
"By the way, where did Arthur go?"
Looking to the side, Gwen didn't see Arthur's figure in the other chair, at that moment, she smelled something coming from inside Arthur's mansion.
"What a good smell!"
Following the direction of the smell, Gwen walked to the kitchen and saw Arthur busy there.
"Oh? Are you awake?"
"Yes, are you making something delicious?"
Gwen couldn't help but ask.
She swore she had never smelled something so good.
"It's lunch, come, I made you a portion too."
"Sit down first, the food will be ready in a while."
"Hmm!"
Gwen nodded excitedly, obediently went to the table, and sat down.
Soon, Arthur appeared with two plates of fried rice.
Gwen looked at the fried rice in front of her. Each grain of rice was crystal, full, and distinct.
The color of the above side dishes also complements the golden rice.
This does not appear to be a piece of fried rice, but a work of art.
"Come on, eat."
"Then excuse me."
Gwen couldn't take it anymore, she picked up the spoon and put it straight into her mouth.
Hmm!!!
[A/N: For some reason I couldn't help but imagine Shokugeki no Soma at that moment.]
The moment the food came into contact with her taste buds, Gwen's eyes seemed to shine.
"Arthur, this is delicious!"
"I've never eaten anything so delicious."
Arthur nodded at that compliment.
The [Culinary Skills - Uncommon] cannot be summed up in a simple sentence.
"If it tastes good, eat more, there's still more in the pan."
"After you finish eating, go over there and help yourself."
"Okay~"
Gwen said happily.
As she ate, she didn't forget to keep saying, "Arthur, I understand the meaning of that glass of water."
"Hmm?"
Arthur's actions froze.
(What was there to understand?)
"You mean, my friend has to keep a calm mind like water, she must also accept her changes like water."
"Am I right?"
"Yes, you understand very well!"
(But I didn't understand anything)
Arthur didn't say what he was thinking
He gave full marks for Gwen's understanding.
Just a glass of water can make Gwen realize this philosophy of life.
With Gwen's praise, Gwen felt that the rice in her hand was even more delicious.
She can't help but get a few more spoonfuls of the delicious fried rice.
Lunchtime passed happily like that.
"Art, thank you for your hospitality."
"I still have a band rehearsal in the afternoon, so I need to get there soon."
Without knowing it, Gwen also got closer to Arthur and even changed her address.
Arthur, on the other hand, doesn't care about the title.
When Gwen saw he didn't dislike it.
She also laughed inwardly.
It was only then that Arthur remembered that Gwen, Spider-Woman, wasn't as quiet as Gwen from the main Marvel universe.
But a rock lover.
Being the drummer in a band.
"Okay, and I'm also leaving in the afternoon, I'm going to meet with people at a studio."
"I'm going to talk to them about adapting my books."
"Really? Are your books going to be adapted into films?"
Arthur nodded and continued: "It's not decided yet, we'll find out after we talk in the afternoon."
"It's possible, as your number 1 fan, you have my support."
"I'm looking forward to the day your books are shown on movie screens."
"So can I invite you to go see the film with me at the release?"
"Oh?"
Gwen couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Is Arthur asking her to go watch a movie?
"Sure, no problem."
Upon seeing Gwen's reaction, Arthur suddenly asked something that was bothering him.
"Gwen, have you never been in a relationship?"
"My father is more strict, so..."
The meaning is quite obvious, she has never been in a relationship!
Arthur was very happy.
With Gwen's looks and age, she has not been in any relationship yet.
In the social atmosphere of the United States, she is more precious than an endangered species.
(Her father was right!)
Arthur gave George a big thumbs up in his heart!
