“I’ve long said that Joziah Austin is not a man to be trusted, and neither are his people.”
Xia Wei said soothingly, “Alan, it was an accident, I have understood, blame us negligent, did not keep an eye on the follow-up development, let IM’s people stir up trouble.”
“Forget it,” the man took a sip of red wine, “this thing is dead, let people close well, clean up a little.”
“Don’t worry, the follow-up was done by our people, it was clean.”
Alan’s face eased a little, “Look at the time, it’s time for them to go back to Hounslow too.”
“So what are you going to do after that?”
“There’s a charity dinner at the end of this month at Begonia Villa.”
“You’re planning to meet her officially?”
“It’s been hidden long enough for so many years.”
Xia Wei raised an eyebrow, “You think clearly on the line, by the way, the charity dinner at the end of this month, I will not accompany you, I have something.”
“Something?” Alan looked at her with interest, “I heard from your assistant that you’ve been in a cloudy mood lately, what, that designer at IM, you can’t handle that?”
Xia Wei’s face suddenly changed, “There is no one in this world that I can’t handle, don’t mention that scum to me.”
Miyagawa the uncomfortable, completely hard and soft, she even thought he did not like women, but just received news that he went for a walk with the owner of the nightclub last night on the riverside to loose a night.
Thought he was a noble and decent man, but now it seems to be a scum.
Ellen said, “If you’ve called people scum, why do you still think about them?”
“Winning heart,” Xia Wei gave him a look, “don’t you know that I have a strong winning heart? I have to take care of him and then kick him away!”
Alan wanted to remind her to figure out his own mind, but then thought of his own life is no better, seems to have little qualification to control others, and did not say.
The night breeze on the top floor was brisk, and he had been in Hounslow for three years, incognito, and sometimes even he forgot what he had come back for.
—
Three days later, Amelia Bright and Farren Austin returned to the capital.
After all the IM stuff was taken care of, Miyagawa and Bohdi Olson went to the airport to pick up the plane. On the way, Bohdi Olson was rattling off the details of what he had done all this time.
Amelia Bright said, “Okay, you can take the lead, just say what you want.”
Bohdi Olson turned his head from the passenger side and touched his nose, “It’s really nothing, it’s just that I’ve been with Emily for so many years too, you guys said …”
“You’re finally going to propose?” Amelia Bright instantly guessed what he was thinking.
Bohdi Olson, a cheeky man, even blushed.
Miyagawa is driving, he said, “for this matter he has been thinking about almost six months in fact, the proposal site, layout, and the day of the arrangement, everything, a particularly thick book, go back to you all look, good man model.”
Amelia Bright snorted out a laugh, “No way, Bohdi Olson you’ve really been thinking about it for six months.”
Bohdi Olson said, “Then the proposal, ah, has to be taken seriously.”
Amelia Bright said, “You dare not be serious, Emily has five brothers, you just perfunctory, those five brothers can let you go?”
“Whatever the reason, you guys just say help or no help.”
At the end of the sentence, Amelia Bright and Farren Austin looked at each other, and the two of them had a heart-to-heart.
“Help ah, Farren and I will certainly cooperate fully, when the time if the scene is too voluminous, Farren those retired comrades can also go to you as bodyguards to control the scene.”
“Just waiting for you to say that.”
Watching Bohdi Olson turn around in a huff, cracking something on her tablet, Amelia Bright almost couldn’t hold back her laughter.
Farren Austin tightened his grip on her hand, his eyes full of doting.
After a long drive, Amelia Bright asked, “How much longer until we get there?”
Because Farren Austin and Candy are considered to have suffered a ‘prison sentence’, so the people feel that they have to clean up, they chose a Hounslow suburban hot springs lodge, ready to open a party to wash away the bad luck.
Miyagawa said, “Almost there, ten minutes.”
Bohdi Olson looked at his watch and yawned, “This is too far, can’t we just find a hotel? You have to go to that one.”
Miyagawa said, “The place was chosen by Assistant Zhang, saying it was suitable for group building.”
“Candy this assistant ability to do things is also really …”
As we speak, we have arrived at the place, the gate of the hot spring lodge slowly opens and Miyagawa drives straight in.
The lodge is newly built and covers a large area, including a vineyard and golf course, making it the largest spa hotel around Hounslow.
The car stopped in front of the hotel and the group got out.
Bohdi Olson carried a box out of the trunk and muttered as he walked, “Assistant Zhang is also thinking one thing, and what theme party, childish.”
The group first went to the hotel suite to change clothes, open the suitcase, Bohdi Olson was the first to grab a set of black from the pile of flowery green clothes out.
“I know at a guess what anime character it must be, just this set looks the most normal, I’ll take this set, the rest of you make yourselves comfortable.”
With that, he went inside to change his clothes.
Amelia Bright and Farren Austin looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.
In the bedroom, Bohdi Olson in front of the dressing mirror to change the clothes brought, inside a black suit, outside a dark red cloak, a high hat, and a black mask.
After changing and looking at the mirror for half a day, he suddenly smiled.
This is not the ‘night dress masquerade’? When I was a child in Lucy Chambers home to watch the cartoon American Girl Warrior, Lucy Chambers and Emily Guan two people’s favorite is this character.
Think about the fact that more than twenty years have passed.
This assistant Zhang, usually unreliable officers, today this theme is not a bad choice.
After finishing his clothes, he opened the door and went out.
Just pull open the door, “bang”, colorful pieces of paper fell from the sky, ribbons flying, a room full of people dressed in various anime characters, standing in a variety of stories of princesses and princes, their hands holding balloons or atmosphere gun, are smiling at him.
And all this he had no time to see, his eyes had been firmly occupied by the pure white figure in front of him completely.
Right in front of him, less than half a meter away, under a backdrop of pink balloons and anime characters, stood the woman he loved most in his life.
Dressed in the most grand and elegant wedding dress, the white veil draped behind her head, pinned by a glittering crown, holding a champagne rose in her hand, she looked at him with a slight smile.
“Bohdi Olson, let’s get married.”
Emily Guan grew up most like the American Girl Warrior, when she was five years old, she told Lucy Chambers that she wanted to be a girl like Sailor Moon, using the light to defeat evil.
In fairy tales, Cinderella, Princess Snow White, and Lettuce Girl have their princes to the rescue.
While Sailor Moon is on her own, saving all her friends, she is always accompanied by the night dress masquerade as well.
That is the dream of many girls in their childhood, and also the dream of Emily Guan.
Today, her dream stands before her.
