Chapter 34 Section 7

It's Jonny Stepanato.Jonny took the bag and jewelry box from Lana's hand, held Lana's arm tightly with one hand, and led her all the way into the airport building without any explanation, where reporters were already waiting there. In this way, Lana Turner was exposed to the public with her "underworld lover" in the "most reluctant" way at the most unexpected time and place. After answering the reporter's questions, Jonny put on Lana's coat in a very thoughtful but not overly gracious way, and then offered her arms for Lana to hold, just like a couple who have passed the stage of passionate love and entered a stable stage.It wasn't until they got into the concierge car and rolled down the isolation glass between them and the driver that the two started a new round of quarrel——

"What the hell are you trying to do here?" Lana struck out first. "I want to surprise you." "You really surprised me." "It's been too long since we've been apart, Lana, I'm going to Acapulco with you." "No way!" "I'm already booked on the same flight," and seated together. (How did he know? Lana wondered again) "Actually, Lana, you fully understand that I will never let you go. That set of pranks you played in England..." "That was the only way I could convince you that I was determined to break up."

"But we can't break up, you remember it for me!" Lana later said she thought about flying to Los Angeles instead, but so what?Jonny would still cling to her like a leech.Lana still has to be careful not to attract the attention of the media, but also not to arouse Johnny's temper. Who knows what kind of things this gangster will do in a fit of anger? Lana Turner is a frequent visitor to Acapuco, where a travel agent named Teddy Staufel has already reserved a separate room for her in the "Villa Villa" hotel, facing the sea, with Private swimming pool. "You can't stay here," Lana said to Johnny. "Find another hotel yourself."

"It's January, my dear Lana, where is the busiest tourist season here, where do you want me to find it? Or, do me a favor and call Teddy for me." Teddy confirmed that Johnny was right: "All the rooms I have are full, and I can't throw anyone out." One of the two refused to let him stay, and the other refused to leave. The quarrel was turned upside down.In the end, Lana and Johnny lived together. One day, when the two returned from sailing, they saw a large iguana crawling into the living room. Lana screamed in fright, and Jonny, who was usually so brave, didn't dare to move forward.The hotel maids and gardeners rushed to the restaurant and happily captured the iguana. It turned out that this monster is a delicacy on the plate of the Mexicans.

It was supposed to be over here, but Johnny said: "I think there will be a lot of iguanas on that mountain, and they may come in again at any time. I'll talk to Teddy." Johnny and Teddy Stuffy I want a pistol. Since then, Jonny has never left his gun for 24 hours, and from time to time he takes it out and gestures in front of Lana.For example, one day, Lana was reading a book on a deck chair by the swimming pool, and when she looked up, she saw Jonny was three or four feet away from her, holding a gun and using her as a target to practice aiming, and said, "I'm just reminding you You, this thing is still in my hand, and it's still facing you."

Another example is that one night, Lana woke up suddenly and found that Jonny was holding a gun to her forehead: "If you don't want to be nice to me, you can't be nice to others. The iron thing in my hand is no joke. You can choose two paths." Lana said, "You're sick, you. What good will it do you to kill me?" Johnny said, "I'm going to lie on top of you like I'm doing now, and shoot myself in the head." "Are you planning to commit suicide?!" "Without you, what is the meaning of my life?" In early March, Lana received an international call from Los Angeles from her manager, Paul Kerner.

"Lana, Lana," repeated shouts came from the microphone, "You have been nominated for the Oscar Gold Award for Best Actress in "A Cold and Warm World."
