Chapter 107
"You've been smiling so much lately. Did something good happen?" In New York Central Park, the crew had just gone on break. Duke looked at Scarlett Johansson, who grinned as she handed him a coffee, and felt something was slightly off. Ever since they had dinner together that night, her mood had been excellent. Especially when she looked at Naomi Watts, she would always break into an inexplicable, silly smile.
"Because you promised to take me to the Super Bowl," she said.
Tugging at her blonde hair, the little girl leaned on the back of Duke's chair. "When my godmother came over yesterday, she even promised to take me onto the field."
"You're not being honest, Scar." Duke knew this was all nonsense. He pointed at her. "A lying child's nose grows long."
"Then... I'll tell the truth," she said.
Her eyes darting playfully, Scarlett leaned in and whispered into Duke's ear, "Because you've been nicer to me lately. You're happy, so I'm happy."
"Really?" Duke didn't buy it.
"Hey, you're my brother." The little girl pouted in dissatisfaction. "If you're happy, of course I'm happy."
Although he still didn't believe a word the cunning little rascal said, Duke nodded anyway. During filming, he treated all actors equally. Neither Naomi Watts, with whom he had a physical relationship, nor Scarlett Johansson, who was closely connected to his family, would receive any special treatment.
