“Annie, how’s the situation, can I go home ?” When he saw his girlfriend open the door, Eric quickly asked. He had been hiding at Annie’s and hadn’t gone home in a week.
Aniston shook her head, she put the groceries bags she had in her hands on the coffee table and said: “I drove past your home, there was at least seventy-eight paparazzi keeping watch on your neighborhood. Fortunately they didn’t know that the car I drove was yours, otherwise they would have certainly come after me, that would have been terrible.”
Eric sighed. Thanks to the two giants united publicity campaign, Eric had become one of the most popular figure in North America, and even across the Atlantic, British newspapers had started to pick the subject up. Eric was knowledgeable about how things worked in this industry, so after receiving Jeff’s phone call last week, he immediately hid at Annie’s place. The two studios promoting the movie was enough, the rest would be to just rely on the quality of the film itself, so he didn’t bother going out and get interviewed by the paparazzi, not to mention that he wasn’t certain they would write things as he stated them.
Although Eric promptly went into hiding and the paps hadn’t been able to interview him, they had still dug around and his whole life was laid out for the public to feast on: his immigration from England, his school’s grades, and even his time passed at Jeff’s Italian restaurant. Aniston was relishing in it all, teasing him from time to time.

“Hey, Michael, how did you know I was here ?” Eric asked curiously as he let Michael in the house.
“You, seriously, I even thought of calling the police since I couldn’t find you anywhere, and turns out you’re hiding here ……” Michael Klaus was about to say something, but when he saw Aniston coming out of the bedroom in pajamas, he was surprised and shut his mouth.
“Michael, this is my girlfriend, Jennifer Aniston. Annie, this is Mr. Michael Klaus, the manager of my book.”
Michael and Aniston greeted each other, before Annie left for the bathroom.
Eric gave Michael a cup of coffee and whispered: “Michael, if you want Annie to throw you out, then keep talking about this topic, even I don’t dare to mention Drew’s name now.”
“The fiction is already a complete story, and I think there is nothing else to write about, Michael.”
Michael Klaus wasn’t discouraged and quickly followed: “Well, do you have any other work ?”
