Chapter 11: CHAPTER 11: And there was something to understand there!?
"That name... It sounds familiar..."
(Maybe it's just a well-known studio.)
(Maybe I saw this when I was watching a movie.)
Without thinking, Arthur dialed the number and a man answered the phone.
"Hello, are they from Fisk Universal pictures?"
'Yes, you must be Mr Morgan, I suppose.'
'We sincerely want to cooperate with you. I would like to know if you are free to come to our company for a more detailed discussion?'
'We might as well have lunch while we talk.'
It was because of the other party's reminder that Arthur realized that it was almost noon.
"Sorry, I don't have time right now."
'I understand, now is a good time for lunch.'
"No, it's because it's time for my nap."
Arthur felt that the voice of the person on the other end had paused and then continued, "Understood, a writer like Mr. Morgan needs to get enough sleep to replenish his imagination."
"No, that's just a personal habit."
Click!
There was a grinding of teeth on the other end of the line.
Arthur has nothing to say.
Why are you in such a hurry?
(For a businessman, this guy gets angry very easily.)
'In that case, let's make an appointment for the afternoon.'
"Okay, so 3 o'clock in the afternoon."
Arthur chatted for a while, talked about other details and hung up the phone.
Just before he hung up the phone, he heard a loud noise.
It was obvious that the other party's phone was thrown to the ground with force.
Arthur shook his head calmly.
(This guy has a bad temper.)
(If the afternoon meeting doesn't work out, I'll have to go to another studio)
"Ahh, I'm going to make something to eat..."
"After that take a nap."
After Arthur stretched out in the chair, he yawned and walked towards the kitchen.
------------
On the roof.
Gwen woke up and continued looking at the water in the glass.
At that moment a light breeze blew.
Making Gwen feel refreshed, this breeze also caused ripples on the surface of the water in the cup.
In an instant, a light flashed in Gwen's mind.
"I see!"
"Arthur wants me to treat everything with a normal mind, just like this glass of water."
"Just like this glass of water, I need to adapt and change according to the environment."
"Just as if water is placed in a cup, it will take the shape of the cup, if water is placed in a bowl, it will take the shape of the bowl."
"The only constant is that it will always be the same thing, water."
Thinking about this, Gwen's thoughts became clearer.
"Receiving these powers is like the breeze that passed through this glass. I shouldn't be so desperate. I have to learn to adapt to this situation."
"Become familiar with these powers and then control them."
"And then use it to do more things."
Gwen's eyes gradually became firmer.
After she was enlightened, she no longer felt confused like she did when she arrived at Arthur's house earlier.
"By the way, where did Arthur go?"
Looking to the side, Gwen didn't see Arthur's figure in the other chair, at that moment, she smelled something coming from inside Arthur's house.
"What a good smell!"
Following the direction of the smell, Gwen walked to the kitchen and saw Arthur preparing something.
"Oh? Are you awake?"
"Yes, are you making something to eat?"
Gwen couldn't help but ask.
She swore she had never smelled something so good.
"It's lunch, come, I made you a portion too."
"Sit down first, the food will be ready in a while."
"Hmm!"
Gwen nodded excitedly, obediently went to the table and sat down.
Soon, Arthur appeared with two plates of fried rice.
Gwen looked at the fried rice in front of her.
The color of the above side dishes also complements the golden rice.
This does not appear to be a fried rice dish, but a work of art.
"Come on, eat."
"Then excuse me."
Gwen couldn't take it anymore, she picked up the spoon and put it straight into her mouth.
Hmm!!!
The moment the food came into contact with her taste buds, Gwen's eyes seemed to shine.
"Arthur, this is delicious!"
"I've never eaten anything so delicious."
Arthur nodded at that compliment.
The [Culinary Skills - Rare] cannot be summed up in a simple sentence.
"If it tastes good, eat more, there's still more in the pan."
"After you finish eating, go over there and help yourself."
"Okay~"
Gwen said happily.
While eating, she didn't forget to keep saying, "Arthur, I understand the meaning of that glass of water."
"Hmm?"
Arthur's actions froze.
(What was there to understand?)
"You mean, my friend has to keep a calm mind like water, she must also accept her own changes like water."
"Am I right?"
"Yes, you understand very well!"
(But I didn't understand anything!!)
(And was there anything to understand there!?)
Arthur didn't say what he was thinking
He gave full marks for Gwen's understanding.
Just a glass of water can make Gwen realize this philosophy of life.
With Arthur's praise, Gwen felt that the rice in her mouth was even more delicious.
She can't help but get a few more spoonfuls of the delicious fried rice.
Lunch time passed happily like that.
"Arthur, thank you for your hospitality."
"I still have a band rehearsal in the afternoon, so I need to get there soon."
Without knowing it, Gwen also became very close to Arthur.
When Gwen saw he didn't dislike it.
She also laughed inwardly.
It was only then that Arthur remembered that Gwen, Spider-Woman, wasn't as quiet as the Gwen from the main Marvel universe.
But a rock lover.
Being the drummer in a band.
"Okay, and I'm also leaving in the afternoon, I'm going to meet people at a studio."
"I'm going to talk to them about adapting one of my books."
"Really? Are your books going to be adapted into films?"
Arthur nodded and continued: "It's not decided yet, we'll find out after we talk in the afternoon."
"As your number 1 fan, you have my support."
"I'm really looking forward to the day her books are shown on movie screens."
"So can I invite you to go see the film with me at the release?"
"Oh?"
Gwen couldn't believe what she was hearing.
Is Arthur asking her to go watch a movie?
"O-of course... No problem."
Upon seeing Gwen's reaction, Arthur suddenly asked something that was bothering him.
"Gwen, have you never been in a relationship?"
"My father is an overprotective man, you know? So..."
The meaning is quite obvious, she has never been in a relationship!
With Gwen's looks and age, she has not been in any relationship yet.
In the social atmosphere, it is more precious than endangered species.
(Your father has earned my respect!)
Arthur gave George a big thumbs up in his heart!
