Manhattan Reborn 1978

new York.

It’s approaching noon~

42 Eighth Avenue, at the intersection of Eighth Avenue and 660nd Street, Manhattan.

The second floor of Zina Osevia Art Store.

Friends Mary Tyler Moore and Barbra Streisand, who came to visit unexpectedly, saw their friend Zina sitting by the phone busy non-stop, as if she had no time to greet them, they both looked at each other in surprise, quietly. Sit back and wait.

About a quarter of an hour later.

Xina put down the phone in her hand, rubbed her eyebrows with her fingers, wrote down some things she had just temporarily settled on a memo, got up and poured two cups of hot coffee for her two friends, and said with an apologetic smile.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

"Why are you two here? Is something wrong?"

"It's nothing, I just wanted to come over and see you... What are you busy with?" Mary picked up the coffee cup, glanced at the place where Zina had been sitting, and asked curiously.

Zina shook her head with a smile, looked at the clock not far away, and sighed: "I have already booked a flight and will fly to Tokyo later."

"So I want to finish up some of the work at hand before I leave, and wait until I come back..."

"Tokyo? How many days are you going to? Are you going to work?" Barbara put down her coffee cup in surprise and asked.

"It wasn't for work, or a friend invited me over to have some fun."

"I can't confirm the specific time."

"What? Do you want to go over and have fun too?"

"Okay~" Barbara turned to look at Mary and asked.

"Have you been working recently? Do you want to come with us?"

"I... I won't go. A crew recently wanted me to help with a guest role..." Mary made an excuse for herself and politely rejected Barbara's proposal, while giving her a look. .

After receiving the look from Mary, Barbara felt a little strange in her heart, but she echoed Qinna's words.

"If she doesn't go, I won't go either."

"Have fun with your friends!"

"Okay~" Zina took a sip of coffee and looked at Mary with a bright smile.

When Barbara heard Zina's straightforward answer, she immediately woke up, glanced at Mary, and silently wrote down the matter.

Another twenty minutes passed.

Zina got into the car that took her to the airport and left.

Barbara stood on the side of the street with Mary on her arm, looking at the cars going away. She could no longer hold back her strong curiosity and asked.

"You just told me two days ago that you terminated your contract with the previous agency and signed a contract with CAA, a company in which Zina has a stake."

"She just heard that you were going to play a guest role on the set, but she didn't even ask?"

"Are you hiding something from me?"

"Haha~" Mary looked at the car going away, thought for a while, and felt that she couldn't hide this matter, and she would let Barbara know sooner or later, so she said bluntly.

"Haven't you noticed that Xina seems like a different person lately since our last gathering?"

"Um...which aspect are you talking about?" Barbara felt that she was a little slow in paying attention to details, so she asked more curiously.

Mary sighed, pulled her friend towards the street, and explained patiently: "She is not only the owner of this art store and a shareholder of caa company, but also..."

Mary told her friend in detail about the various identities of Zina now, and finally asked a question in a deliberately funny way.

"How do you think she did it?"

"Is there any need to guess?" Barbara looked up at the street sign and asked.

"Just tell me, who is she following?"

"Haha~" Mary glanced at the street sign of 42nd Street, raised her finger and pointed in the distance with a smile.

"There is a bar over there, and there should be a crew filming some additional scenes."

"I went to that crew a few days ago to play a guest role. Do you want to go and see it?"

"Bar?" Barbara's eyes flashed with disgust, but she didn't answer.

"If you were the boss there, that would be..."

"What?" Barbara immediately understood what Mary meant, and shouted with a very gossipy smile on her face.

"Come on, I can't wait any longer!"

"Hahaha~" Mary was pulled by her friend and walked quickly towards the Wildfire Bar, covering her mouth and laughing.

. . .

JFK International Airport, Queens.

Elena Mesa was wearing a smart female business attire and an orange cashmere windbreaker. She stood out in the queue waiting to check in.

Mr. Gardener, who came specially to see her off, could always feel the "jealous" eyes of countless male compatriots when standing next to her. .

It seems that a beautiful woman like Elena who can make countless men fall for her should not stand next to a "bad old man" like him. .

Full of dissonance!

"Ahem~that..."

Mr. Gardener coughed lightly, took half a step forward to Elena's side, and said in a low voice.

"Recently, due to the booming trading in the gold futures and foreign exchange futures markets in Chicago, many colleagues who were previously active in Europe have come to New York to inquire about the news~"

"When you see the boss this time, ask him for me... Can you make the next plan?"

"Ok."

"Is there any more?" Elena generously reached out and took the gardener's arm. The charming smell of her body filled Mr. Gardener's nose and asked with a smile.

Mr. Gardener was silent for a few seconds and chuckled: "Actually, after getting the news that the boss was going to Tokyo, Brotney Mecia had already rushed there as soon as possible."

"She also specifically asked me not to tell you... for fear that you would misunderstand her."

"Misunderstanding?" Elena deliberately repeated the word, raised her eyebrows, and asked.

"She went to work, why was she afraid that I would misunderstand her?"

"Uh..." Mr. Gardener shrugged helplessly and spread his hands.

"When you two meet in Tokyo, you'd better ask her yourself."

"Haha~ Okay." Elena nodded slightly.

"But after I leave, you should pay more attention to Odis Parker recently!"

"I always feel that he is planning something secretly..."

The smile on the corner of Mr. Gardener's mouth disappeared. He was very surprised by the woman's "sixth sense". After hesitating for a moment, he whispered.

"he thinks.."

"Hey~ I'm not late, am I?"

Just as Mr. Gardener was talking, Zina rushed over pulling a suitcase and shouted to the two of them breathlessly.

"No." Elena looked back at her, and after giving her a look, she pulled the gardener to a deserted place nearby. After asking in a low voice for a few minutes, she quickly adjusted her mood and smiled.

"Please go back and ask him for me~"

“What’s the biggest difference between domesticated domestic pet dogs and those wild dogs that roam around!?”

"Well..." The gardener suddenly felt as if he had done another "stupid thing", sighed with a somewhat unpleasant look on his face, and left silently.
