The top of fame and fortune [Comprehensive British and American]

"Lex, I have to thank you for inviting me to the banquet." Bruce Wayne maintained a charming smile and approached with his beautiful female companion.

And Lex is still holding Erica's finger, showing a false kind gesture to Wayne, "Bruce, your presence makes this place flourish, and the whole Gotham knows that a party needs Bruce Wayne to show up." The body is complete, isn't it?"

The two gentlemen are really not friendly. Wayne hints that Luther's invitation is malicious, and Luthor satirizes Wayne's playboy's "good reputation".

And Erica didn't seem to be interested in enjoying the conversation between the two, she was looking at Bruce Wayne's beautiful female companion——

Larisa Tolchev, a beautiful Russian-born ballerina, is the principal dancer of the New York City Ballet.

Without waiting for Wayne to say the introductory words, Erica has already stretched out her palm to the lady in front of her with a sincere smile, "I'm Erica, maybe I can call you Larisa directly? I have to say, you starred in Serenade is my favorite ballet in recent years."

"Oh, of course you can call me Larisa, what a coincidence, the "Vanity Fair" you shot is also my favorite magazine cover recently." Larisa Torchev held out her hand and Erica Hold each other.

The handshake lasted for three seconds. The two ladies looked at each other with a smile. Erica then raised the topic, "I'm planning to do ballet training recently. I really hope to have one-tenth of your talent."

Erica's words were not too humble. The ability of Ms. Torchev in front of her to become the chief dancer of the New Ballet Company is self-evident, and of course it is far better than Erica.

"Ballet special training?" Larisa showed some curiosity, and was aroused by Erica's words. Larisa thought of Erica's status as a Hollywood actress, "For movie performances?"

"It's to meet the requirements of Broadway plays." Erica doesn't hide much about her acting career.

And her answer undoubtedly made Larisa Torchev more interested. After all, the New York City Ballet often cooperates with Broadway theaters. If Erica is going to get involved in Broadway plays, the two may have the opportunity to cooperate.

So after a few short conversations, Erica and Larisa Torchev became half-peers from complete strangers, and there was no competition.

Larissa's arm that was holding Wayne had already been put down. She took down two glasses of sweet sparkling wine from the waiter's tray and handed one of them to Erica, "Maybe you would like to tell me which one it is?" A play? You know, we might just happen to be in the same musical."

"It's the revival of The Phantom of the Opera, but I haven't been able to fully get the chance to perform." Erica said, taking the sparkling wine.

Although she is under the legal age of 21 to buy alcohol, the law usually only applies in public bars and liquor establishments.At a normal party, not many young Americans actually wait until they turn 21 before drinking for the first time.

As long as Erica doesn't go out in public with her 19-year-old ID to buy alcohol, no one will object to her drinking at a party.

After Larisa heard Erica's answer, she couldn't help showing surprise, "Wow, "Phantom of the Opera", she is the most watched musical in recent years."

"So in order to get this valuable opportunity to perform, I needed to go through intensive singing and dancing training," Erika said of the dance in "Phantom of the Opera," "in this very romantic drama, three acts of ballet bridge. part."

As a ballet dancer, Larisa is very interested in this topic, and she is willing enough to make friends with Erica, "Have you selected a special trainer? If necessary, I can recommend some outstanding ones. Ballet training institution."

"Will this be too much trouble for you, Larisa?" Erica explained to her with a slightly surprised look, "I was hoping to study under the professor of dance at Columbia's School of the Arts. Unfortunately, dance All the teachers and students of the major are about to participate in the hall-level professional dance competitions in colleges and universities on the east coast, and the professors will inevitably be a bit short-handed."

Erica was unable to continue her dance training yesterday afternoon after receiving vocal instruction from Professor Peters at Columbia's School of the Arts.Because of the dance professors, there is really no time to pay attention to her at present.

For at least the past month, the dance professors at Columbia University probably didn't have enough energy to train Erica.

At the same time, because the dance competition spread to colleges and universities on the east coast, Erica switched to the 'planb' project embraced by the dance instructor of New York University, which also had to fall through.

Therefore, Erika plans to choose a dance troupe institution with a sufficiently outstanding standard to conduct her dance training courses in the large and small ballet training institutions in New York City as soon as possible within the next few days.

Or Erica could turn to Professor Peters of 'Making the Wind and Rain on Broadway', who will undoubtedly provide her with an effective solution.

But before she started to deal with this matter, Erica seemed to have a new plan in front of her——

For example, Ms. Tolchev, the prima ballet dancer who came with Wayne, Erica spent a lot of her pocket money in high school to buy tickets to the New York City Ballet to appreciate Larissa A ballet starring Tolchev.

Erica is naturally very happy to make friends with Larisa, and Larisa also showed her kindness. She took out a business card from her exquisite handbag and handed it to Erica, "I am willing to provide you with some dance training. Reference comments."

Larisa's gesture of handing over her business card undoubtedly indicated that she intended to continue to associate with Erica even after the banquet was over.

After all, Erica is not only a newcomer in the spotlight of Hollywood, but also seems to be gaining attention on Broadway. At the same time, she is not stingy with showing her kindness, so why not do it?

While the two ladies had a good chat with each other and exchanged contact information, Lex Luthor and Bruce Wayne, who were left aside, were obviously treated coldly.

Lex held Erica's fingers tightly, interrupting her plan to continue the conversation with the ballerina, "Rika, regarding your appearance in the Broadway play "The Phantom of the Opera", I hope you don't mind if I come to watch."

In fact, he had already enjoyed a scene of her musical performance, and the song "Thinkofme" was really beautiful.

Erica was about to answer Lex's question, Bruce Wayne showed a bit of surprise just right, and then said in a natural way, "It seems that you are back together?"

"It's in progress," Lex looked at Erica, talking about his unsatisfactory status quo, "Rika agreed to re-date with me."

Wayne raised his eyebrows and said in a chatty tone, "Date? What a coincidence, Larisa and I are also dating. American dating culture is very interesting, isn't it?"

And Larisa Torchev didn't seem to take her date with Wayne seriously. After all, this man's reputation as a playboy is too popular, "Indeed, before the relationship is established, the dating period allows each other to Stop this relationship."

"But the right person will undoubtedly continue to get along." Lex said in a calm and low voice.

"Of course, about the right person," Bruce Wayne said politely, as if talking about scientific investigations, "that's why people are allowed to be efficient with several people at the same time during the dating period." Dating is all about picking the right person."

You see, Bruce Wayne is really good at using his playboy status to make some special hints.

The reason why Wayne brought up this matter is precisely because in his previous investigation and understanding of Erica, he learned that she has always pursued this kind of 'efficient dating', including the process of dating Lex Luthor.

So with the voice of Bruce Wayne, Lex's expression is naturally not much better.

And Erica didn't seem to have any plans to join the battle. She smiled at Larissa Torchev, and was about to invite the lady to the other end of the banquet hall for a 'GirlTalk' when she heard Larissa say, "The beautiful supermodel lady at ten o'clock has looked here many times."

Erica looked at the location Larissa said, and happened to meet the eyes of the tall and sexy supermodel lady.

At celebrity parties, beautiful and outstanding supermodels can always easily be the guests, not to mention that this is New York, the fashion capital where supermodels gather.

Larisa confided her guess to Erica, "Probably because of Bruce."

After all, Master Wayne's reputation as a heartthrob cannot be underestimated.

But Erica had to refute Larisa's opinion, her tone was a little ponderous, "Maybe it has something to do with me—"

Her voice undoubtedly made the three people around her focus on her at the same time, and Erica confessed, "I used to date her."

"What?" Larisa lowered her voice, looked at Erica in surprise, and subconsciously asked out of curiosity, "When?"

Erica answered inaccurately, "About a year ago."

"You were dating me at the time." Lex Luthor had a complicated and dangerous expression on his face, staring at her with deep gray-blue eyes.

Erica looked at him and replied calmly, "It's just a date."

Before establishing a relationship, the dating stage already allows several people to date at the same time, isn't it?

Bruce Wayne has always been like this, and he had already learned about the young lady's 'efficient dating' during the investigation, but he was still a little surprised and asked Erica, "So you like young and beautiful female models? "

Erica began to look a little impatient, shrugged and said to him, "comeon, who doesn't love lovely ladies in this world, they are perfect."

Her answer seemed to cause the two men in front of her to fall into a brief silence.

And Larisa Torchev couldn't help thinking that if Erica asked her out on a date—

...She seems a little bit receptive?
