The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2186

[2149 exposes its shortness]

“Renly…Actually, I’ve already arrived at the coffee house, even before you. I’ve been sitting in that corner, watching your every move.”

Ogus struggled for a long time, but he couldn’t. Consciousness, continue to deceive Renly, continue to pretend there is nothing, this is not his personality or his philosophy, this is not him.

Although he also knew that if he broke the news like this, the scene would definitely not be good, and he couldn’t be sure how Renly would see himself, but he had to be honest, otherwise he would become the kind of person he hated.

Gritting his teeth and closing his eyes, Oggs, holding the idea of “stretching his head is a knife, shrinking his head is also a knife”, so he completed his self-destruction in one go.

Then, Oggs could see a look of consternation in Renly’s eyes, which made him even more ashamed. His mind was full of thoughts of fleeing, but he still straightened his back and told the story in a straight-forward manner. “I made this meeting specially to test you. I need to know what the actor I’m going to work with looks like; no, no, no, I mean, I need to find an excuse to test you, I Thinking… No, I mean, you’re not my first choice, but I can’t refuse Tessa…”

As he spoke, Oggs became more and more flustered and incoherent, he didn’t even know What he was talking about—since talking and conversing were not his forte, he tried his best to avoid all social situations if he could, just to stay behind the camera and tinker with film footage.

He wanted to stop, but couldn’t stop; he wanted to explain, but couldn’t, and then he started to get angry with himself.

“…Oggs, Oggs!” Renly also didn’t know what to do, because he was still not familiar with Oggs, but he could sense Oggs’ annoyance – he was continuing to Picking his fingers, the dead skin on the edges of his fingers was torn apart, making Renly strongly suspect that blood beads were about to burst in the next second. The suppressed and suppressed emotions were bubbling up. He had to do something, so he Opened up.

Oggs raised his eyes reflexively to look at Renly, but his violently shaking pupils betrayed the restlessness of his emotions. He interrupted Renly a little eagerly, “Sorry.” After a pause, he repeated it again. , “…Sorry.

” Renly knew that he had to do something, otherwise the situation might be derailed, “I know.” Ogles was puzzled, “I know you arrived at the coffee house early, but you deliberately hid it. My position, I also know that you are secretly observing, although I am not quite sure of your intentions, but obviously, you do not want to be discovered.”

“…” Ogus opened his mouth, then closed it, and opened it again. He opened his mouth, closed it again, and finally failed to restrain his curiosity, “…but why? Why didn’t you say it?”

“You have your own reasons,

You are the director, I need to respect your choice, I think, sooner or later you will tell me the answer – or not, but I want to play this role in this work, so I chose to stay calm, maybe, I can be satisfied request, and finally appeared in this work.

In the face of Oggs’ truth-telling, Renly also chose to be open and honest.

Looking at Oggs who couldn’t react because of his astonishment, Renly added, “So, you are considering your own interests, I I am also planning for my own interests. From this perspective, I have no guilt, and you do not need to feel guilty. This is fair, isn’t it?

”

Oggs opened his mouth, but was unable to respond, so he stared

blankly at Renly. Renly restrained his smile slightly, and said to Oggs solemnly, “I’m sorry, I pretended to be everything.” I don’t know, this is obviously not a noble move.

“His astonishment was because he didn’t expect Oggs to be so frank and blew himself up. Now, seeing Oggs so serious, he felt guilty instead. Renly’s frankness

and sincerity showed his uprightness, This made Oggs wave his hands again and again, “No…you did nothing wrong, I initiated it first…you just…” This should be his mistake, because he initiated the temptation, and after Renly saw through it, Renly There was no need for Renly to apologize.

But Renly stopped Oggs with a smile, “As I said, there is no need for us to continue to struggle. I don’t mind your test, and I hope Don’t mind my reaction. If you continue to apologize, I think we may not be able to start our work today.

After a pause, Renly continued, “Personally, I hope we can talk about work because I really want to be in the role.

”

Such simple and sincere words made Oggs raise his hand and scratch his head. He smiled shyly and embarrassedly.

This is the first time Oggs has shown a smile since we met. At the same time, Oggs The chaotic mood seems to have settled down, and there is no danger of “exploding at any time”.

Renly let out a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and his emotions were relaxed. There were too many accidents this afternoon, and even he was in a hurry. It should be a conspiracy and calculation, but it turned into a true confession. The direction and turning point are too fast and too hasty, and he is also full of question marks, and he can only rely on his own instinct/capacity to respond.

He really really didn’t want to “detonate” Ogus.

At this time, the waiter brought Ogus’ black tea.

Renly

also picked up his coffee at the same time, guided him with practical actions, and asked with a smile, “Milk? Sugar?”

Renly cast a look, watched Renly add some milk to himself, and nodded, “Thank you.” Then he picked up the teacup, took a sip on his lips, and the hot, hot tea juice slid into it. In the stomach, the tense muscles also relaxed, and now I finally found some sense of stability, and my mood and state have stabilized.

Oggs raised his eyes cautiously and shyly, glanced at Renly, and added again, “Thank you. I mean…”

Seeing that Oggs was about to continue explaining, Renly answered half a step ahead. “No thanks.”

There were no extra words, but such a short and clear reply was enough. Ogus regained his peace of mind and smiled shyly at Renly.

Putting down the teacup carefully, Oggs is organizing the language, thinking about how to discuss “The Lobster”, but still a little uneasy, “Renly, sorry, I mean, wait, how the hell did you find out? Mine? The coffee house waiter? Or any other details? Sorry, I can’t stop thinking, there are always a lot of questions in my mind, and if those questions aren’t answered, I can’t calm down.”

Renly laughed dumbly, and he also Put the coffee cup down.

“Oggs, you may be a good director, but you’re not a good actor, at least, spy movies shouldn’t be your style.” Renly said in a gentle tone, not accusing or ridiculing, not even joking Or a joke, just a light statement of a fact.

Because Renly wasn’t quite sure, was it time to make a joke now, in case Orgus collapsed again?

Oggs didn’t smile, but asked very seriously, “Which part?” As if a serious academic discussion was going on.

Renly also showed a focused attitude, “No one reads a newspaper like that, holding it too high; no one keeps moving the paper up and down, too often; of course, once or twice might be normal, but I’ve noticed it at least three times…not to mention the sound of flipping the paper the whole time.”

Before the last sentence came out, Renly paused for a moment, and Oggs was about to say something: he didn’t know whether to defend or discuss. , just thought he should respond; then, Renly said the last sentence, completely stunned Ogus, “Are you a spy?”

“Ha, in a way, James Bond Tak is also an actor,” Renly responded in his own way.

Ogus is reminiscing carefully.

Renly’s words were not over yet, “Before, I just had some doubts and guesses, in the final analysis, it’s not difficult to wait, so I kept my patience, but what really proves your thoughts is what happens after you stand up. ”

Oggs’ expression was a little embarrassed,” I was too sneaky to leave the coffee house, right?” Correct

answer.

Ogus is a fat, slightly chubby fat man. He is very burly. When he stood on tiptoe and leaned against the corner to leave the coffee house, to be honest, it was not easy to ignore.

Renly didn’t even need to look up to see if the other party was Oggs, just a little bit of trouble, and Oggs’ movements would be stiff, more direct than a remote control robot, which was an obvious signal.

But Renly didn’t intend to complain about Ogus, just smiled in return, and then continued, “The whole time interval from leaving to returning is too short; you didn’t change your coat, the goal is very obvious, it is easy to associate, the most important thing Yes…”

Before Renly could speak, Ogus said in frustration, “Also?” Those eyes stared at Renly like that, like a lost puppy.

“I can stop here.” Renly smiled and raised his hands in surrender.

Ogus hesitated for a moment, but straightened his back again, “No, I still want to know the result.” Otherwise, he would have no way to settle down.

“After you entered the door, you walked in my direction without even looking or observing, which means that you already knew where I was.” Renly said the last detail and put the entire puzzle together. Piece it all together – but in fact, such details are no longer important, because then Oggs is already sitting in front of Renly.

However, Oggs was still shocked and didn’t know how he should respond. He knew that he might have exposed some details, but he didn’t know that he was full of loopholes, that is to say, his behavior was seen through from the beginning. His surreptitious observations meant nothing at all, so was he still going to test Renly?

Thinking of this, the thoughts in Oggs’ mind were a little mixed, and he stayed in place for a while.
