Hollywood Hunter

Any metropolis that should be as bright as heaven in the hearts of ordinary people has no lack of dark corners like hell.

The same is true of Manhattan.

The Gralf family, who fell directly from the clouds of this city to the bottom of the valley, had a deep understanding of this. Laura Gralf lost her restaurant job because of attacking diners last month. Simon suggested that Ben Grace, who was impatient, drove the mother and daughter directly out of the apartment she rented for them.

For the first time, the three members of a completely bankrupt family experienced the feeling of living on the street.

A true stray joint.

Except for the few clothes thrown out by Grace, the three of them only had cash totaling less than $20, which was not enough for a meal.

Holding some expectations, I made a few calls to some old people in the past. As a result, the entire Manhattan still avoided them like a plague. Finally, helpless, Laura Gralf dialed the phone number of her three brothers' homes. In any case, this was their last escape.

The phone was connected, but just as he spoke, the elder brother hung up the phone very hard. They obviously still hated the fact that the children at home missed Brown University because of her stinginess.

The second and third brothers did not hang up the phone immediately.

After talking for a few words, I heard that she wanted to take her two daughters to move back to Georgia for a period of time, but she immediately refused. In words, they all already knew that the Gralf family was in trouble in New York. It's just ordinary small farmers in the southern United States who don't want to provoke them.

Without the help of the three elder brothers, it would be impossible for her to return to Georgia with her two daughters forcibly, because she simply couldn't afford the travel expenses.

The night of the first day came soon.

The mother and daughter wandered late into the night among the brightly lit streets of Manhattan. They found that the city was so big, but there was no place for them. Until they finally couldn't walk down, they found a park, which seemed to emerge from the ground. The coming homeless people, with their different eyes, shrank in a corner of the park lawn to deal with the night.

Early the next morning, because of breakfast, the youngest daughter quarreled with Laura Gralf, thinking that she annoyed Grace and caused the three of them to now live on the street.

The eldest daughter also saw a bit of hatred in her eyes.

Laura Gralf didn't have a good temper, and directly slapped the little girl in the face. She felt that if it weren't for these two oil bottles, she would have been more relaxed. After she was anxious, she would bluntly say that she didn't want to follow her and just get out. Didn't she like to run away from home? Anyway, there is no home anymore.

After a lot of noise, they still make do together.

Always have to live.

Laura Gralf tried to find another job, but after three days of tossing, whether it was a waiter in a restaurant or a small business at the front desk, she refused, but a few because of Laura. Gralf's appearance was obviously moved, but she was quickly driven out by some reminder.

On the fourth night, a man driving by noticed the three mothers and daughters shrinking in a corner of James Park in Greenwich Village. They came forward to'talk up', and learned that the three daughters were actually mothers and daughters. The high price of 1,000 dollars was paid, as long as three people got in the car with him.

$1,000, if it were before, would not even be enough for Laura Gralf to buy a bottle of cosmetics.

Now, the mother and daughter who have not eaten a ton of food for a few days have reached the weakest point of their will. Of course, they also know what men think of them as women, but for $1,000, you can find a place to sleep well. Feel, you can have a very good meal, you can...

The man seemed to see Laura Gralf's loosening, and directly raised the price to $1,500.

Then, the eldest daughter Cathy Gralf broke out and let the man go out loudly.

The man is very patient, saying that this is already a very high price. The top call girls in Manhattan can only get so much. The average street girl only costs $50 at a time. He perceives Cathy Gralf’s resistance. , The man took a step back, saying that she can do nothing, just get in the car together.

Noting that Cathy Gralf pulled her sister from her mother again, the man took a step back and said very well that their sisters just need to watch.

Laura Gralf, who was still a little bit ashamed, saw the reaction of the daughters and thought for a while, to test the man if she could get in the car alone. He didn't expect the man to turn his face immediately, although he did not refuse, but Directly reduced the price from US$1500 to US$100.

After repeated rumors, the mother and daughter finally got on the Ford sedan parked on the side of the road.

Immediately, the police fell from the sky.

In New York, certain things are illegal.

The mother and daughter were imprisoned for the first time.

Five full days.

In this world, there are many people who deliberately commit crimes and go to prison because they can't live, but if they have been in prison, they probably don't want to return to that place for a lifetime.

It’s not a big crime that the mother and daughter committed the crime, but after learning about the relationship between the three daughters, even the prison guards who are used to seeing all kinds of evils can’t understand Laura Gralf carrying two daughters. Doing this kind of thing together, the attitude towards her is even worse.

Asked if there are any contacts who can bail them, Laura Gralf can only leave Grace's phone number.

When the mother and daughter thought that Grace Spurt had completely forgotten them, the manager lady finally appeared five days later, and they moved into the basement of the East Village.

This is a public dormitory prepared by Elite for contracted models at the beginning of their career.

Small room, four beds, kitchen and bathroom are shared, but that's it, each bed costs 1,000 US dollars per month, which is enough to rent a single room outside. However, this is actually one of the sources of revenue for the model agency. Since you have signed with Elite, want to receive training, want to become famous, and want to become a supermodel, you must accept the company's arrangements, or be more accurate and squeeze.

After rescheduling, the mother and daughter will have a monthly living allowance of US$2,000. This money comes from Laura Gralf’s two daughters, each of whom is US$1,000. Grace said that she will continue to train them.

As for Laura Gralf, she was arranged as an assistant to her two daughters. Her daily work was just to accompany them to participate in various model training courses and occasional sporadic work. Basically, she couldn’t get on stage. Acting as a model, serving as a clothing stand for various studios, there are no chances to show up on magazines or runways.

In fact, this is the survival state of most of the young models in the early stages of their careers.

There are so many beautiful girls in this world, it's so easy to want to get ahead with just a face.

After arranging these, Grace seemed to forget the three of them again. The only thing that needs to be notified is the agent's assistant.

After sleeping on the street and going to prison, the mother and daughter finally recognized their situation.

The feasting and pampering of Manhattan's upper class society has completely left them. Now, the Gralfs are just the few ants at the bottom of this metropolis.

a new day.

I don’t remember what day it is today. It is probably the end of July. It is probably a Friday.

Laura Gralf was awakened by the quarrel, and got up anxiously from the hard bunk bed that she hadn't been used to for several weeks, and saw her little daughter Victoria rushing back to the room with tears on her face. Weeping and threw herself on the bed on the other side, outside was the sound of the eldest daughter arguing with another girl.

With a low curse, Laura Gralf lay down again with her head covered.

Don't want to manage.

Actually it's noisy.

The girls who broke into this metropolis and struggled to climb up would be as meek as kittens in front of the big people, but few of them were really easy to talk to each other.

Soon, the eldest daughter walked in from outside choked up.

Throwing the washbasin on the ground indiscriminately, towels and dental utensils were scattered all over the place, and noticed that her mother had deliberately ignored the thin blanket over her head, and Cathy Gralf kicked the plastic basin again. There was a cracking sound of feet.

Laura Gralf immediately sat up and stared at her eldest daughter: "Kathy, do you think these things don't cost money?"

With tears still in her eyes, Cathy Gralf stepped on the cracked plastic basin and glared at her mother: "The money is earned by me and Vicky. You are Is spending our money."

When she was hit by her daughter, Laura Gralf became a little bit irritated and blurted out: "I am your mother."

Cathy Gralf did not give in: "I don't have a mother like you. If you hadn't angered Ms. Grace, how could we live here. Ms. Grace was so kind to us at first, it's all you, both It's because of you."

The mother and daughter were arguing, and another tall blond girl walked in from outside carrying her toiletry.

Seeing the chaotic room, the girl named Angela Lindevo didn’t say anything. She put her washing utensils on the shelf and silently climbed onto her bed in Victoria Gralf’s upper bunk. I found the cosmetics in his locker and started drawing on his face.

Angela Lindevo is 15 years old and is from Kansas City, Missouri in the central United States.

Since last year, the girl has frequently sent her own information to the model agency in New York. She was initially signed by the Spectral Model Agency. During this time, Daniela Pusteva, who was favored by Elite, came from this company. .

However, the Spectrum Modeling Agency is now on the verge of bankruptcy, and its models are starting to go their separate ways. Grace noticed Angela when she was poaching Daniela Pusteeva from this company and found that the girl is also a good seed, so she dug together. Come here.

Temporarily arranged here.

I have been reminded by Ms. Grace in advance not to have too much intersection with these three women, and if they have any special actions on weekdays, they should call her at any time. The smart Angela understands naturally, and from Grace In her daily arrangements, the lady knew that the agent was really trying to train her, so she became more obedient.

Today, I am going to work as a fitting model in the studio of the famous designer Isaac Mizrahi. It is said that the other party is still shooting a documentary with Daenerys Entertainment's Gaomen Pictures, and I may have a chance to appear in the film. , A rare opportunity, Angela didn't care about the troubles of the mother and daughter.

Ignoring the quarrel in her ears, she prepared meticulously. Angela finally put on a set of showing figure-cutting T-shirt and denim hot pants. She completely ignored the three mothers and daughters who were still fighting each other. Leaving the dormitory.

Seeing Angela leave vigorously, Cathy Gralf put away her anger with her mother and began to prepare.

She also has a job today.

As for breakfast, where does the model need breakfast?

As soon as I put foundation on my face, there was some movement outside the dormitory. This was a greeting. There happened to be the girl who had just quarreled with her in the voice, and the tone seemed flattering and humble.

Cathy Gralf just got up from the dressing table stuck between the beds on both sides, still in a black OL suit, but because of this period of time experienced a bit more graceful female power Grace Spurt Just walked in.

After sending her away, she followed Angela and left. Grace glanced at the chaotic room, her face was displeased, but she just said to the three women: "Hurry up and get dressed and follow me." Then she turned to Kai. Qian frowned and said, "Wipe off your face, what does it look like?"

Cathy Gralf was a little aggrieved, she just put on foundation, of course she wouldn't look good, but she didn't dare to refute, she smiled at Grace.

Laura Gralf sat up on the bed, seeing Grace obviously getting more and more radiant during this time, as if she was many years younger, the hatred in her heart came again, she never forgot, this woman robbed Her opportunity robbed her of the chance to climb Simon Westeros.

That's Simon Westeros.

However, Laura Gralf, who was just resentful and didn't want to experience those things at the beginning of the month, also did not dare to show any hostility.

Although it is not much better than the prison, there is no need to sleep on the street, and it can be considered as worry-free.

As for the past life, this period of time did not even appear in the dream a few times.

The mother and daughter dressed up obediently and did not make any more makeup. They left the dormitory with Grace, went to the street outside, and got in Grace’s car. Only then did Cathy Gralf ask carefully: "Ge Ms. Lace, what are we going to do?"

Grace glanced at the three mothers and daughters crowded in the back seat, did not answer, just started the car.

The car drove through the congested streets of Manhattan in the early morning for half an hour, and Grace finally took the mother and daughter to a women’s club on Lexington Avenue in the Upper East Side.

Throughout the following morning, Laura Gralf felt as if she had gone back to the past.

More than a dozen professional technicians revolved around the mother and daughter.

From head to toe, haircut, eyebrow trimming, hair removal, skin care, manicure, massage...

Until noon, because of the experience in the past few months, the mother and daughter, who were in a bad personal condition, returned to the upper east side with a woman's exquisite glow. Finally, someone sent a full rack of luxury brands to choose from a family of three. , This kind of treatment even Laura Gralf had never done before.

Although, during the morning maintenance process, there were several nurse-like girls who took blood samples from the three of them and took samples in their mouths and other private places. They seemed to be doing physical examinations, but the Gralfs did not. Mindful of these details.

There is nothing left.

Grace Spoult can never sell them.

Even if you sell it, what can you do, it will never be worse than living in a basement?
