America gains both fame and fortune

Chapter 512 Fishing and Bait

Passing through the side door of the cafe, Martin returned to the Hilton Hotel and went to the rooftop restaurant for dinner.

Thomas, Lily and others won't arrive until tomorrow.

Just after Martin and Bruce entered the restaurant leading to the top floor, a waiter in the lobby flashed into the nearby security passage, took out his cell phone and sent a text message.

Top floor restaurant.

Martin and Bruce chose seats by the window, through which they could see the Washington Monument.

As the sky gradually darkened, the National Mall was lit up and the night view was beautiful.

Martin looked over there and said, "This place deserves an extra-large firework."

Bruce understood that the fireworks he was talking about were not the kind set off during the Independence Day celebrations, so he warned him, "My friend, your thoughts are becoming more and more dangerous. Are you planning to commit treason?"

Martin shrugged: "Maybe because I came from the slums, I have a special feeling for this hot land of America, and I always want to give him a little boy or a fat boy."

Bruce coughed lightly, "I need to let you know that you are now a national hero of the United States and are about to receive the distinguished Presidential Medal of Freedom."

Martin laughed: "The Coca Cola Cult must continue to develop in Washington and organize more activities." He was obviously joking: "If you want to arrest me in the future, you must first eliminate the members of the Coca Cola Cult. It turns out that 99% of them are..."

Bruce was also amused by the cold joke: "Unless you can become a leader like Hubbard."

Martin thought about it for a moment and said, "Scientology is a cult, while the Church of Coca Cola is upright, just like how I conduct myself."

He won the Oscar and the Best Actor Award at the Cannes Film Festival.

Just as he finished speaking, he heard the sound of high heels. His eyes turned casually and he saw two long legs in black stockings and a pair of long white legs next to them.

The latter went to the table diagonally opposite and suddenly turned towards this side.

Martin found out that it was an acquaintance. He had met her several times when he last came to Washington, Kate, a female reporter from the Washington News.

"What a coincidence, we meet again." Kate came over and said hello: "Martin, congratulations."

Martin stood up and shook her hand: "Thank you."

Kate was obviously dressed up carefully, wearing a professional suit that made her legs look long, her hips look big, and her breasts look big. She also wore a pair of black-rimmed glasses. At first glance, she looked like Louise, a capable woman.

To be honest, her appearance and figure are no worse than Louise's.

Kate noticed Martin's scrutiny and pulled over her companion in black stockings: "This is my friend Rachel, she works in book discovery and publishing."

Rachel held out her hand and smiled faintly: "Martin, it's nice to meet you."

Martin shook her hand and felt that her hand was very strong. "Nice to meet you."

He looked at Kate: "Are you coming for dinner?"

"I, a young reporter, would like to invite Rachel to dinner." Kate had talked a lot with Martin the last time he came to Washington, and the two of them were quite familiar with each other, so she took the opportunity to say, "How about we share a table?"

She asked, "Bruce, Rachel, do you mind?"

Martin nodded: "That's right, I want to know the latest situation in Washington."

Rachel said, “I also want to learn about Hollywood literary adaptations.”

Bruce switched to Martin's side, leaving the opposite side to the two ladies.

After Kate and Rachel finished ordering their food, Martin casually asked about some things in Washington politics, especially after Guan Hai came on stage this year.

Kate introduced some of them, then said, "You caught another spy at the Santa Monica Pier. Is there any top-secret information? You know I'm a reporter, and it's hard to work in a newspaper without exclusive news."

Rachel said: "Kate has been under a lot of pressure at work lately."

Kate said earnestly: "Help your old friend."

"Okay." Martin seemed to be dazzled by the beauty.

Under the table, Kate nudged Rachel's leg, and Rachel nudged her back.

"I was terribly scared, scared to death," Martin said seriously. "I'm not a fearless hero like the media say. I'm also very afraid of death. I fought hard and was brave at the time just because I wanted to survive."

Kate was slightly stunned. What kind of secret was this? If the report was published, it would only make Martin more like a living hero, rather than a special symbol.

She asked again, "Nothing else?"

Martin thought about it carefully and said, "Everything else has been reported before."

Kate was somewhat disappointed. Rachel kicked her lightly under the table, but she still kept smiling: "Thank you for the exclusive."

Martin smiled: "You're welcome."

The waiter then brought the meals to the two ladies.

The topic also shifted from Rachel to film adaptations of literature.

Rachel asked: "I saw a report in the media that you and David Fincher are going to adapt "Gone Girl"? "

The novel has been published and released. Since the news that Martin and David Fincher would collaborate on a movie adaptation, it has quickly topped the New York Times bestseller list and is currently in the top 20.

Therefore, Martin responded: "The script has been completed. Director Fincher has assembled the crew to make preliminary preparations. Filming may start in the second half of the year."

Rachel said, "My publishing house has some good novels that I think are suitable for movie adaptation. I wonder if you are interested, Martin?"

Martin said, "When you have time, bring it over to me and let me have a look."

Rachel found a reason for the two to meet again: "I'll contact the author first when I get back, and then call you?"

She naturally asked for his phone number and took it out from her bag: "Can you tell me your phone number?"

Kate had his contact information, and Martin gave out a number. Rachel called, and when Martin's phone rang, she hung up.

After chatting for a while, Kate invited, "Do you have anything to do tonight? Let's find a place to have a drink together after dinner."

When she spoke, she held her head high and her strengths stood out, making her hard to refuse.

Before Martin could say anything, a foot in stockings reached out from below, slipped into his trouser leg, and rubbed it up and down.

Martin's eyes turned to Rachel.

Rachel just smiled at him, as if the feet under the table were none of her business.

At this moment, Martin almost agreed.

Two beautiful and elegant women take the initiative to invite and hint at each other. How many normal men can resist it?
But even though Martin is a bastard, he is more stable than an old dog when he is hiding.

He thought of Neves's reminder just now.

When it comes to fishing, the FBI is the originator of similar industries around the world.

Almost at the same time he thought of this, Bruce, who had always had a tacit understanding with Martin, seemed to choke while drinking water and coughed twice.

Martin could tell that Old Bull was reminding him, so he smiled and said, "I have some urgent work to deal with tonight, so I can only say sorry."

"It's okay. Call me when you finish your work." Kate was obviously not as calm as Rachel, and was a little anxious: "Rachel and I will go to your place with some wine..."

Rachel interrupted Kate with a smile: "Martin has work to do, so let's not disturb him."

Kate slapped her forehead and said, "Look at me. I'm so stressed out at work that my head is all foggy."

Martin was polite: "Thank you for your understanding."

Rachel did not retract her feet from under the table, but instead climbed up Martin's legs. She smiled charmingly, "Wait for my call. I will contact the authors of the novel as soon as possible and then discuss the adaptation with you."

Martin smiled and replied, "I'll wait for your good news."

Rachel retracted her foot and wanted to ask the waiter to pay the bill.

Martin took the initiative to pay for the two men, and the four of them left the restaurant together and parted ways in the elevator.

Kate and Rachel took the elevator downstairs. Since there were other people in the elevator, the two did not speak until they left the hotel and got into the car they drove.

The latter unbuttoned his work jacket, took out the micro-recorder hidden in his inner pocket, threw it aside, and said, "There's nothing useful here."

Kate let out a long breath and said, "I can see that his eyes are almost glued to us. He is obviously a pervert, but he is so timid."

"You're too anxious, especially when you said you were going to his room at the end." Rachel reminded her, "You'll easily alert Martin."

She emphasized: "Martin is indeed a pervert, but he is also a ruthless man who single-handedly killed six or seven armed gangsters."

Kate suddenly regretted: "Will he kill me?"

Rachel touched her face and said, "Don't worry, we don't have to do anything. We just need to seduce him into bed. Isn't that what you are best at? Seduce employees or supervisors from various departments and get news from them."

Kate took her hand away and confirmed once again: "I will cooperate with you. You promised me that no matter whether it succeeds or not, you will not pursue the things I did."

Rachel smiled and said, "We always do what we say."

"Okay, I'll be more proactive next time." Kate was determined. She couldn't have a criminal record, and she couldn't lose this job, otherwise she would go bankrupt: "Wolves always eat meat."

Rachel's cell phone rang.

She took it out and looked at the number on the phone, got out of the car, closed the door and answered it, saying, "Boss?"

The other side said: "You came out?"

Rachel said, "It's not going very smoothly. He hasn't taken the bait yet, but I left the bait for next time."

"So difficult?" The other side was puzzled: "He doesn't like your style?"

Rachel and Kate's professional attire tonight was carefully prepared, imitating Louise and Kelly.

Rachel said: "In order not to alert him, I had to withdraw first." She said the key point: "The bait I left behind is a literary adaptation movie. We need to find a suitable work that can attract Martin Davis' attention as soon as possible."

The other side said: "I'll have someone do it."

…………

Back in the room, Martin took off his coat and looked at his trousers. There seemed to be something strange at the hem of his trousers.

Bruce said, "Those two women are seducing you."

"The last time I came to Washington, Kate seduced me." Martin sat on the sofa: "It's not surprising that she came to seduce me again, but this timing..."

He was still very careful: "Neves reminded us."

Bruce said, "I'm worried they're bait, too."

Martin nodded: "Let's see what happens. Pay more attention."

The next morning, Rachel called and told Martin that she had contacted an author who was willing to adapt his work into a novel.

Martin decided to delay it, saying that there were a lot of activities in the past two days and he would talk about it after the celebration.

He contacted Neves and sent him the photos of Kate and Rachel that Old Bull had secretly taken.

In addition, Martin did have a lot of activities, so Elizabeth and Lily rushed over, and Thomas and Ari-Emmanuel also came on the same plane. The latter extended the invitation on behalf of his brother Rahm-Emmanuel.
