Chapter 134: The Woman at the Top of the Food Chain(1/3)
"Miss Morgenthau, you also know. In the past few days, there have been reports in the media that I change my girlfriend every day."
"But actually what I want to say is that they are all false."
"Those 'girlfriends', they are either models from my modeling company or actors from my film company."
"That's just me creating scandals and diverting attention for them."
"This is a business practice."
"but."
malibu beach,
Abel talked to Peggy Morgenthal:
"But my team thinks it's better for me to maintain a playboy persona."
"They said it would be a good cover for my aggressiveness as a financial capitalist."
"It will make ordinary Americans feel that I am a real person."
"I think this makes sense, and I have been working hard to create it before."
“The effect is pretty good.”
Having said this, Abel paused and looked at Peggy Morgenthau, who was looking at him seriously.
The latter saw him pause and couldn't help but say:
"I don't understand why a financial capitalist should maintain the persona of a playboy. Rather than the persona itself, it is your nature."
"Actually, I don't care about any of this. What I care more about is, what do you want, sir?" Paige said very directly.
"Ha~"
He laughed: "This question is on point."
"As you can see, Miss Morgenthau. I still want to maintain my playboy persona."
"But in order to come out to meet you today, I didn't bring my female companion with me."
"Now those reporters are here. So what I want to say is, can you help me maintain my playboy persona today?"
Peggy Morgenthau's beautiful eyebrows wrinkled, and her eyes, as blue as the seawater dozens of feet away, were filled with confusion and anger.
"What do you mean, Mr. Smith?" Peggy asked.
"What I mean is very simple." Abel said with a smile:
"In front of reporters or the media, act as my one-day girlfriend. Help me maintain my playboy persona."
"impossible!"
Peggy Morgenthau said categorically in a firm tone: "Unless."
She looked at Abel's handsome face and tall figure.
"Unless that's the terms of your settlement."
she added.
"Deal~" Abel responded readily and directly.
"As long as you can help me today, Miss Morgenthau. Then tonight, I will ask my lawyers to withdraw the lawsuit, and this matter will end here."
"Okay." Peggy Morgenthau was not pretentious.
Mainly because of the guy opposite, although she hated him so much that she felt itchy.
But he has a good skin that prevents her from being disgusted.
Peggy didn't mind if it was such a small price to save her grandfather from this trouble.
How dare he, Abel Smith, use force against him?
If it really happened, Peggy Morgenthau thought she would probably laugh.
Because if that's the case, then mg's branch Morgenthau.
He will teach Abel every minute what it means to be an East Coast political powerhouse.
Since she had no such concerns, Peggy readily agreed.
"ok~"
Abel gave her an OK gesture.
He lazily lay back on the recliner, thinking that this matter was not over yet.
But that's all it can do for now.
But he is a vengeful person.
One day when he becomes truly powerful.
And if given the right opportunity, he would never mind taking a big bite out of Morgenthau!
Until then, let's pretend to be reconciled for now.
Thinking this, he turned his head and looked at Peggy Morgenthau, who was sipping lemon ice water with her head down.
Abel's heart moved, and then he said softly: "Peggy, give me some water."
Paige: "!!!!!!"
Abel pointed with his hand at the paparazzi and reporters in the distance.
He raised another finger and mouthed to her: [Girlfriend for a day!]
Paige's beautiful eyebrows furrowed and then slowly relaxed.
She looked a little unhappy and her tone was a little bored, "I'm not good at doing this. If you have any requests, just say it, as long as it's not too much."
As she spoke, she picked up the glass of ice water that Abel had just drank and moved it towards him.
But before she could get closer, she heard Abel say:
"Peggy, I want to ask you. Have you had a physical examination recently? Do you have any respiratory infectious diseases?"
Paige: “?????”
Why did you switch to whether you have respiratory infectious diseases and physical examination?
She was a little confused and looked at Abel.
"Answer me, yes or no?"
"No." She said a little puzzled and unhappy:
"I get a physical check-up every month and I'm in good health."
Her physical examination was not the same kind of physical examination that Abel asked Michael Levine to do for the models contracted by Isa Company.
But the rich people in the United States are more afraid of death than the last.
Those wealthy families with a long history attach great importance to health and medical care.
On the east coast, any wealthy family will have a physical examination almost every month.
This can be regarded as a means of medical protection. If the disease is detected in advance, it can also be more convenient and better to prescribe the right medicine.
In order to achieve better treatment purposes.
Address the disease before it affects your health.
This is also the reason why one or two of the truly wealthy people in Europe and the United States have basically lived into their nineties.
Except for sudden and violent deaths, such as Epstein who was shot eight times in the back and hanged himself in prison.
There is very little news about the top rich people in Europe and the United States dying before the age of 90.
Firstly, there is money, secondly, there is attention, and thirdly, medical technology is developed.
Morgenthau is undoubtedly a giant on the east coast and naturally has this fine tradition.
After answering by herself, Peggy saw Abel's expression of relief, and then he said to herself:
"That's good, then I'm relieved. Then, Paige, put down this glass of ice water, I want to drink the glass you drank."
A small expression of disbelief appeared on Paige's face, "I've drank this cup. I've drank it!"
"I drank only after you drank." Abel rolled his eyes at her, "Didn't you see the paparazzi over there taking pictures? Which man and woman are in love and don't drink from each other's cups?
Do the whole show, dear Mademoiselle Morgenthau!"
"Sorry." Paige's face was expressionless, holding back her displeasure and slight nausea.
She brought over the ice lemonade that she had just taken a few sips of.
"I have never been in love. I don't know about this kind of thing."
She put the ice water in front of Abel a little stiffly and said again.
Fortunately, Abel didn't actually drink the water she drank. He just held the cup in his hand and shook it gently.
