Hardy Empire 1945

Marissa left get out of class and walked out of the classroom with her friends Cheryl and Evie. Cheryl saw a beautiful limousine parked across the road with sharp eyes.

The dark blue body and white roof are elegant and atmospheric, and the logo is a swan with wings.

Wow, look, that car is a Packard, Cheryl called softly.

Evie also saw the Packard, her eyes lit up and said: This car is so beautiful, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of dollars.

Seeing Packard in this era is like seeing luxury Bentleys and Rolls-Royces in later generations.

Just when the two praised the car, the door opened, and a man in a straight suit got out of the car. The two women found that the man was well-dressed, handsome in appearance, and had a gold watch on his hand. The eyes of the two women suddenly glowed.

Are you looking for a girlfriend on the street?

The two of them stood up involuntarily, and sweet smiles appeared on their faces, making them look even more beautiful.

But they have a feeling.

Where have they seen this man?

Marissa.

Hardy yelped softly.

Jon~~

Marisa happily waved at Hardy.

He said to the two girls beside him: My friend came to pick me up, I'll go first, by the way, Christmas Eve tonight, Christmas tomorrow, I wish you a Christmas Eve and a Merry Christmas in advance.

After speaking, he trotted across the road.

As soon as he ran to the side of the car, Hardy took out his hand from behind, a bouquet of flowers and beautiful roses.

Give it to you.

It's so beautiful~~

Marissa took the flowers and kissed Hardy on the cheek.

The two got into the car, and Packard started to leave, leaving behind two girls on the side of the road who looked at each other.

That person is Marisa's friend? Evie asked in surprise.

I remembered that it was the man who drove a Ford to pick up Marissa the other day. He was so rich.

Cheryl finally remembered who Hardy was.

At the beginning, they seemed to have discussed that Marissa was wasting her time with such a man.

Did you look at his clothes, it should be 'Booker Brothers', the car is a Packard, the gold watch on his wrist is definitely a Rolex, this outfit can buy a luxury apartment in Los Angeles. Evie said enviously.

Cheryl pouted, Who knows if it's rented.

This sentence is sour.

jealous?

envious?

There should be.

Why not yourself.

Hardy and Marisa had dinner at an Italian restaurant.

Look at the lights on the street.

I went to the cinema to watch another movie, the classic movie Casablanca, which was released in 1942 and won an Oscar in 1944.

I have to say, Ingrid Bergman in the movie is really beautiful.

She seems to have just turned 30 this year.

After watching the movie, the two drove home, and came to the living room. Marisa took Hardy and sat down, poured him another glass of kirsch, and turned on the music.

He smiled charmingly at Hardy: I prepared a gift for you, I'll go to the room to get it for you, don't come in and peek.

Hardy nodded with a smile.

When Marissa entered the room, Hardy took out a portfolio from his pocket, and he also prepared a gift for Marissa.

Sitting comfortably on the sofa listening to music and drinking.

not long time.

The bedroom door opened slightly.

A long, slender and straight long leg stretched out from the crack of the door, lace stockings, high heels, dancing with the music.

This leg is enough to play for a year.

The door is half open.

Marissa was wearing a beautiful halter top, lying by the door and showing a charming smile to Hardy, I bought a few clothes on purpose, and let you tear them off at night.

Walking in the steps of a model, I walked to Hardy's side,

Sitting on the man's lap, Hadi, do you like this gift?

I like it, Marisa, I also prepared a present for you.

What is it?

Marissa asked happily.

Hardy picked up the portfolio from the table next to him and handed it to the woman. The woman looked at Hardy in surprise and gently opened the portfolio.

When she pulled out the contract to see what was on it, her face was full of shock.

Jon, this is my economic contract, is it true?!

Marissa asked in disbelief.

Of course it's true, I've bought your economic contract, and now that Sanders can no longer control you.

This contract is with me now. When Christmas is over, I will accompany you to revoke the original contract, and you will be completely free from now on.

This is my Christmas present for you, how do you like it?

The more she listened, the more excited she became. Her eyes turned red at the end, she hugged the contract tightly, and her tears rolled down uncontrollably.

It ended up being a whimpering cry.

Lying on Hardy's shoulder, he cried happily.

The previous encounter was a nightmare for her, which kept her living in fear. Hardy took back her brokerage contract. For Marisa, it was like a prince who killed a dragon and pulled her out of the abyss. rescued.

Marissa hugged Hardy hard and kissed him deeply.

a long time,

The two separate.

The depression on Marissa's face disappeared, and the whole person looked radiant.

I looked at my contract again.

Jon, I can act and sing again in the future, right? Marisa asked excitedly holding Hardy.

certainly.

Remember what I told you last time, I'm now an assistant at the 'Noah's Ark' film company. After you regain your freedom, you can sign with Noah's Ark, and you will have many opportunities to act in the future. Hardy said.

Marissa jumped excitedly on Hardy's lap.

Suddenly remembered something.

Hadi, I have an idea. I want to change my name. When I was studying acting, the teacher told us that actors need to have a more recognizable name.

The name Marisa is too common. There are three girls named Marisa in our village. The teacher suggested that I should change my name when I debut. I want to change it myself and say goodbye to my former self. Marisa said.

Have you thought about changing the name? Hardy asked with a smile.

What do you think of the name Ava, my surname is Gardner, do you think the name Ava Gardner sounds good, Hardy? Marisa asked with a smile.

Hardy was stunned.

She looked at Marissa in surprise.

He never thought that the girl in his arms turned out to be Ava Gardner.

What's the matter, Jon, you don't like this name? Marisa asked, looking at Hardy in a daze.

Oh no, that's a very nice name.

Marissa laughed,

Since you think it's good, then I'll call Ava Gardner in the future. Marissa made a decision.

Remember, call me Ava from now on~~

The woman stroked Hardy's cheek and said.

Okay Ava~

If he remembers correctly, Ava Gardner is number 25 on the American Film Institute's 'Greatest Actress of All Time' list.

The third is Audrey Hepburn, the fourth is Ingrid Bergman, the sixth is Marisa Monroe, the seventh is Elizabeth Taylor, and the sixteenth is Vivien Leigh.

In the late 1940s, Ava Gardner gradually emerged, known as Hollywood's new generation of sexy goddess, and became one of the most sought after actresses in Hollywood.

Later films were also nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress and left a handprint on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

It was not replaced by Marilyn Monroe until the mid-1950s.

But Marisa in her arms,

Do not,

It should be Ava Gardner now.

Is that the historical Gardner?

The time and space that I have traveled through does not seem to be any historical time and space at all, and many things are plausible and not Hardy can't understand.

Ava Gardner looked at the handsome man, slumped down, and whispered in the man's ear, Hadi, aren't you going to open it and see your present!

Delicate and attractive sound!

Hardy picked up the woman and stood up and walked to the bedroom.

......

......

......

What a wonderful Christmas Eve tonight.
