Chapter 445 What a fuss

"Anson, are you okay? Are you sure you're okay?"

"Jesus Christ."

"Where are you now? What happened? Are you okay now?"

One sentence after another, like a barrage of firecrackers. After saying one sentence, he couldn't control himself. He didn't have time to wait for Anson's answer and continued to throw out question marks. The pile of question marks almost drowned Anson.

Finally, Anson came back to his senses and said, "It's okay. Why is something wrong with me?"

He took the phone off his ear and glanced at the caller ID——

It took me a moment to realize that there was no caller ID, just a phone number. My mind was too muddled to remember whose number it was.

"Uh, sorry, who are you?"

One second. Two seconds.

Telephone:……

I was speechless for a while, it was ridiculous and funny, the swear word was already on my lips, but in the end I swallowed it hard, rubbed my temples, and let out a long breath.

"I'm your brother."

Anson raised his chin slightly, "Oh, Luca, what's wrong? What's the matter?"

It's okay not to say anything. Lucas was immediately irritated by this question, "What's the matter? Anson Wood, what else are you asking me about?"

"Since last night, mom has called you so many times, but you haven't answered any of them, and you haven't replied to any messages. It wasn't until just now that mom was worried about your situation, so she called me."

"But you didn't answer my phone call. God, I almost..."

With a crackling sound, Lucas was also frightened for a while——

The next words were almost coming out.

After finally pulling back from the brink, Lucas bit his tongue hard, and the smell of blood spread in his mouth. Then he barely controlled himself, fearing that he would be exposed, and changed the subject in a hurry.

"Your agent said you were resting at home, but we couldn't reach you no matter how we contacted you. No one answered your mobile phone or landline phone. Mom thought you were drinking at home until you fell unconscious."

He does not mean that--

Anson suddenly remembered how he traveled through time and the white powder on the toilet seat in the bathroom.

I couldn't help but feel guilty. I didn't notice the slightly raised voice when Lucas changed the topic. Instead, I was worried that I would inadvertently expose my flaws again, so I couldn't help but blink and quickly changed the topic.

"Sorry, I'm sleeping."

At this time, Anson looked at the phone screen again, and then noticed the number of missed calls on Qitong. It was estimated that the answering machine was also full.

Anson couldn't help but scratch his head, and Anson was also a little embarrassed.

"Ah, I really fell asleep. Sorry."

Those understated words made Lucas choke, and the anger in his heart was stuck in his throat. In the end, everything turned into helplessness and absurdity. Lucas felt his temples twitching violently.

"You should hire an assistant."

"Huh?" Anson hadn't woken up yet, his brain couldn't function at all and couldn't keep up with the rhythm. He didn't know where Lucas' idea came from.

Lucas, "I said, you need an assistant."

"You have a job and have arrangements for your rest time; your agent and publicist can't be with you all the time. They are not nannies, and you don't know how to handle those chores yourself. You just go to the convenience store on the street to buy eggs. A guy who might not be back for three hours, you need an assistant to help with trivial matters."

“At the very least, help answer the phone, help drive the car, help organize your closet and fill your refrigerator, all of which you can’t do yourself.”

"What's more, after 'Spider-Man' comes out, you need an assistant to stop the crazy fans and paparazzi. You can't continue to wander around by yourself."

Bah bah bah. Anson drooped his head. He felt that his eardrums might have started to bleed, so he might as well just agree and said, "Okay."

But it was obvious that Lucas was not listening. He raised his voice slightly and said, "Anson, I'm serious. You need an assistant. If you can't afford it, then let me hire an assistant for you. "

"Yes, this is a good idea. I will be in charge of the interview and help you choose your assistant. You are not allowed to refute, and you are not allowed to sneak out."

Anson: ..."Okay."

"Anson Wood!"

"Luka, I said yes. I don't have enough sleep right now, and I feel like my head is about to burst. Can you speak slower?"

Lucas: ..."Sorry."

Obediently bowing his head and admitting his mistake, Lucas didn't hesitate for a second.

Self-esteem? What is that? Can it be eaten?

Lucas softened his tone and said, "You need to take a good rest."

"So I slept for twelve hours."

"..."

"Haha, I'm sorry, Luka, I really didn't mean to blame you. So, mom called me, what's the matter?"

"Are you still asking me? You asked her yourself two weeks ago. You were going to Columbus to collect information and asked her to ask if she could lend you her old friend's studio for a period of time. She responded specifically to you."

The Columbus mentioned here is a city in Ohio.

For many people, this city is not famous and has nothing special worth mentioning; but in fact, this city is very special and very trendy, with fifteen Fortune 1000 companies located here, all of them All are aimed at the future technology industry.

Therefore, the urban architectural style is also very distinctive:
Simple and capable lines and the popularization of artificial intelligence are two key words. It has two contradictory textures, retro and future, and collides with different charms.

After finishing the filming of "Cat and Mouse" and before entering the full summer promotion of "Spider-Man", Anson had about ten days of free time. He was planning to leave Los Angeles and go to Columbus to enjoy a period of peace and quiet. Maybe he could work in a different building. Looking for inspiration for painting——

Painting can make the whole person calm down.

So, Anson asked Nora.

But Anson himself did not expect that things would come in like a tornado, completely disrupting the plan. He completely forgot about the Columbus incident.

but……

The overwhelming noise across the entire North American continent had no impact on Nora and Lucas. This was proven once again:

The influence of the film industry is not that far-reaching, and not everyone watches movies.

Anyway, several other members of the Wood family didn't watch it and had no idea of ​​Anson's soaring popularity.

Anson gently rubbed his temples, "Sorry, I completely forgot about it. There is definitely no way to go there now. Even if I want to go, it will have to be by the end of May."

"Ah, sorry, Luca, I will call my mother myself and explain."

Lucas also realized at this time that Anson's hoarse voice showed no signs of waking up, "You drink water first, and then continue to sleep. Since you have slept for twelve hours, do you want to fill your stomach first?" "

Just in time, Anson's stomach rumbled.

Lucas actually heard it, "Your stomach has already begun to protest." As he spoke, he couldn't hold back, and a smile crept up the corner of his mouth.

Anson was about to retort when the sound of ringing the doorbell came from downstairs, "Luca, you won't ask Edgar to come to confirm the situation, right? Otherwise, who will come to the door now?"

While complaining and going downstairs, Anson opened the door to the house. Standing in front of him were two middle-aged men in suits and gold-rimmed glasses.

Anson blinked, "Sorry, I believe in Buddhism."
