Wall West Restaurant.
Adriana drove to a Western restaurant after work.
I waited for Lane after sitting in the restaurant for a while.
The man, dressed in a flat, polished black striped suit and wearing black sunglasses, placed one hand in the pocket of his pants and walked towards her with an elegant stride.
The other hand cradled a bouquet of bright roses and handed them directly to Adriana, “For you.”
A flattered Adriana looked at him uncertainly, “Uncle, what do you mean by that?”
The gift is roses, which … is not in accordance with the etiquette.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you, so naturally it’s a meet and greet gift for you. What’s the matter, just a bunch of flowers, afraid your husband will have a problem with it? Then your husband is too petty.”
The man raised his eyebrows and smiled, the original serious he but because of the beard and through a few sexy charm.
Yuppie, titillating.
Seeing Adriana did not move, Lane slightly jawed, “If it were me, to get a small petite. Wife, I will also look tightly.”
After some flirting, Adriana smiled and took the roses, “Thank you uncle. But there is no need to be so polite between you and me in the future.”
She thought the uncle was just a small gift between simple friendship.
“I’ve never been polite with you, but you’ve always been polite with me, instead of making people feel rusty.”
Lane snapped her fingers toward the waiter, who brought up the menu, and she casually ordered some.
Adriana said, “I was going to take you to Western food, but I was afraid you wouldn’t be used to it.”
When I was abroad, I often dined with Lane and rarely saw him eating Chinese food.
“No, no, no, I really like Chinese food, I just don’t know how to make it.”
“Really? Ohhhh, I said it.”
Adriana was amused by Lane’s words, covering her mouth and laughing in a very good mood.
“By the way, why didn’t you bring your sister-in-law along when you came over today? We haven’t been in touch for a long time, and you didn’t even know to call me for your wedding.”
“Then I don’t have your contact information.”
Lane was helpless and spread his hands.
He really doesn’t have Adriana’s contact information.
As early as when she came back from Los Angeles, Adriana still retained the contact with her friends, but then went to the unnamed island, broke the contact between all of them, and really lost those friends.
“Blame me, blame me, I’ll punish myself three times later.”
Adriana admits her mistake.
That straightforward and lively is very pleasing to the eye.
Lane didn’t care and said, “No.”
“Hmm?”
The sudden ‘no’ put Adriana in a bit of a daze.
“Not looking for a girlfriend. All these years have been busy with work matters, where there is time for children’s love?”
“Still not looking for a girlfriend?”
The little woman carefully counted in her heart, she is twenty-nine years old this year, he is fifteen years older than her.
That is forty-four years old, a veritable uncle, a very handsome and sexy handsome uncle.
Adriana suddenly proverb ‘man forty a flower’, it is true, really is a good base, good maintenance, in order to be like now this set of mature, stable, atmosphere, sexy and all in one.
“The oldest is not young, then do not find a girlfriend is really old.”
The little woman flirted with a smile.
Lane shrugged indifferently, “I didn’t find the right one, and it’s good to let things go.”
Not long after the dish was served, the two ate and talked.
Another talk about the cooperation plan at work was held before finally leaving.
Out of the restaurant, Lane got in the car and took the lead to leave, is a foreign kind of character, does not know the euphemism, very straightforward.
Adriana stood in place, holding a bouquet of flowers in her arms, when she turned around and suddenly found someone standing behind her.
“Well, it scared the hell out of me.”
Adriana was taken aback and patted her chest, “What are you doing here?”
The cold-faced man standing in front of him looked askance at the roses Adriana was holding in her arms, “Did he give them to you?”
“Right.”
“What exactly is your relationship?”
“Simple friendships, as I told you yesterday, he really was the tenant I lived across the street from back in LA. Helped me out a lot, so we became friends. I really, really didn’t think he would be your brother.”
The identity of everyone around Adriana is now more sensitive, and coincidences like the one that is happening now would be suspected when placed in the hands of ordinary people.
But she knows that Raylan doesn’t suspect her, only that he doesn’t trust Lane.
Raylan raised his hand and yanked the flowers from her arms, stepping aside and shoving them rudely directly into the trash.
“Hey, Raylan, what are you doing?”
Although she is not a fan of flowers, but flowers are sent by others, it is not good to throw them directly into the trash.
Raylan turned around and tugged at the black tie around his neck with some annoyance, “Like flowers do you?”
“Huh?”
“Get your ass over here.”
Raylan tugged Adriana and shoved Adriana directly into his car, then made a call outside before going around to the main driver’s seat.
Adriana, who was sitting in the car, was eager to get out of the car, but there were still many things she wanted to ask Raylan, so she waited for him for a while.
Raylan got into the car and slowly started the limo to leave.
In the car, Adriana saw his handsome face gloomy like ink, his body emitted a cold aura, as if who had angered his scales.
Such a Raylan is rarely seen by Adriana.
“Where are you taking me?”
Adriana asked, confused.
Raylan did not say anything, Adriana skimmed and muttered to herself, “Raylan, have you not noticed that you have changed a lot recently? You know, in fact, I really like the way we got along, I really think of you as a good friend. After all, we were born and died together, friends in distress.”
With Raylan, Adriana doesn’t even see herself as a woman.
You know that for that period of time on the unnamed island, the six of them were mixed male and female in a dormitory.
Despite this, they are still on good terms with each other.
Life on the unnamed island gives one a taste of pain and develops one’s infinite potential, showing her what she is capable of.
Yet it is also a moment that is hard to forget.
Especially with Raylan, etched in stone.
She spoke and Raylan didn’t answer, making Adriana feel like a person talking to herself.
Feeling bored, Adriana didn’t say anything else.
The car drove for more than thirty minutes, from the city to the suburbs, getting farther and farther away.
Adriana looked at the late hour and asked, “It’s late, where are you taking me?”
Peter is still at home waiting for her to come home.
If we go back too late, Peter will definitely wait late and Adriana is worried that it will affect Peter’s rest.
“Coming right up.”
Raylan just coldly said five words.
Such a cold attitude, impatience in the tone.
Adriana is not good at saying anything, took her phone and sent a text message to Peter: [Go back later, you rest early.
Another twenty minutes passed.
Finally arrived at a place.
Get out of the car, go through a small road and enter an estate.
Someone was waiting for the two at the entrance of the manor, “Mr. Powell, Ms. Hale, please come inside.”
“Where is this?”
