I frowned, not to answer these things. I did not specifically go to understand, usually wear the clothes that was arranged by Dennis who asked Toby to prepare.
The 10 million box was eventually sold by the man in the suit. For me, the box did not have such value. Waht I want was to want to open the box.
After thinking about it, I asked Toby to ask the man in the suit for the number, if necessary. I think he should also be curious about whether the dragon and phoenix box can be opened mutually.
The next auction was jewelry and some antiques. I did not know much about it. I looked at a while and was ready to go.
Jackie was a staff member and will need to help close the show when it’s over.
Toby and I went out of the museum and didn’t take a few steps before we were stopped by someone.
“Miss, please stay!”
I couldn’t help but turn around and saw that it was the man who had just taken the box down, so I smiled lightly, “Hello!”
He nodded, “Miss, can I buy you a cup of tea?”
I looked sideways at Toby, thinking that he had just told this man directly that we had another box all along.
Toby nodded, signaling that I could accept the invitation, and I nodded, looking to the man, “What is your name, sir?”
“Miss can call me Mike Ross,” he spoke, smiling shallowly.
I nodded and smiled lightly, “My name is Clara Kennedy.”
He smiled lightly and made a gesture of invitation, “Miss Kennedy, please!”
I followed him into a tea house and took my seat.
Mike did not rush to speak, but only looked at the woman performing the tea art and spoke, “Newton Town’s tea ceremony, is famous for a thousand years for the delicate. Today we can taste, also considered a lucky.”
I did not open my mouth, and Toby faintly looked at him, tone low, “Mr. White or straight to the point is better.”
Mike looked at him lightly, smiled, then looked at me and said, “I just heard that Miss Kennedy has a box that is very similar to the one I had at the auction. I was curious, so I wanted to try it out and confirm if the box is really as good as it says and can open to each other.”
I pursed my lips, “Mr. White thought what I thought, but I left the box at home. We have left the address. When it is convenient for Mr. White, you can bring the box and we will try together to see if it can be opened.”
He raised his eyebrows, shallowly sipped his tea and laughed, “Still Miss Kennedy is thoughtful. But Miss Kennedy, I’m curious, my box came from the auction, how did you get that box?”
I hid a pause and said, “My box is not auctioned. It’s just a reminder left by the elders.”
Seeing Mike’s face a slight pause. The his face again was with a smile, looking at me, “So I guess Miss Kennedy must have been born in a famous family. The box is generally the family can not afford to hire the best carpenter to build.”
Speaking of which, he frowned slightly, thoughtfully, “But although I am not a native of Newton Town, but still understand Newton Town where has no any big family called Kennedy ah!”
I smiled lightly, glanced at Toby. He would understand, and said, “Mr. White thinks too much, we are not what big family but a small one. This box although is from the old, and we still do not know much about it and yours, maybe is not the dragon and phoenix box. So still have to confirm again.”
“Right, we came out too late, and it’s getting late, we’ll go back first.”
Mike frowned slightly and looked at me, “Miss Kennedy this is …”
I smiled lightly, “I’m really sorry, there are still children at home. We have to go back.”
I said, I got up. Mike seemed to have something to say, but saw me ready to go, it is not good to say more.
Out of the museum, Toby started the car, a sideways glance at the rearview mirror to the car that was following with some disdain.
I looked and saw that the person driving in the car was Mike, said lightly, “This Mr. White, have you checked?”
Toby shook his head, “Not yet, but we’ll know who it is at night.”
Looking at the Maybach following behind, I couldn’t help but frown slightly, “There should be someone behind him.”
Toby nodded his head.
Rather, what I couldn’t figure out was why this Mike was trying to set me up.
“Are they planning to find something from me?” I opened my mouth, but I was a bit puzzled.
Toby shook his head slightly, “I guess it is intended to set that box.” After a pause, he looked at me and said, “Did you ask before exactly how that box came to be?”
I shook my head, “That box I grew up seeing my grandmother put away in the cupboard. It seems to have never been opened. I thought it was just some jewelry box, didn’t care much, so I didn’t pay much attention.”
He hmmed and said lightly, “What this Mike seems to want to know, is the person behind the box.”
I pursed my lips, did not continue, these things have to go to investigate. If with only guessing, there was no way to guess out.
The car behind them continued to follow. Probably it was too conspicuous, the car behind pulled away a distance.
Toby was driving in the direction of the villa, so I said, “It’s too unsafe to let them know the address, let’s lose them first!”
Toby nodded and changed the road to speed up. He was familiar with Newton Town, so it didn’t take him long to circle around and lose the car behind him.
When I got back to the villa, it was dark. Clariana was asleep, and Nanny had left all the things she had prepared to visit the grave downstairs.
Seeing me back, he welcomed me and said, “Mr. called several times, asking if you’re back. I’m afraid he is worried, you call him back.”
I nodded my head, saying that I just had something on the way, did not look at the phone, turned out the phone only to find that the phone has been turned off.
I went back to the bedroom to charge up. I washed up and called Dennis, just dialed over, and it was answered.
He seemed to have been waiting for my call, and his voice was a little low, “Are you in bed?”
I laughed, turned on the amplification, put the phone on the dresser and said into the phone, “I just got out of the shower, how about you?”
“Thinking of you!” This man, sometimes really …
I laughed and said, “How was your day. Did it rain in City P?”
He hmmed and said in a deep tone, “How was the auction?”
After thinking about it, I said, “I saw the box. It’s exactly the same as the one at home.”
“Why didn’t you take it?” He spoke, his voice was shallow.
