I did not open my mouth, just a little lost in thought, see this, she still has work to do, also do not talk to me more, get up and go to work.
The case of Lanxi Village is fixed and will start soon, so I may have to go to Lanxi Village side for the next period of time.
After packing up the office, Jannings called, saying that he wanted to meet for dinner in the evening, before I could answer.
Before I could answer, there was a man standing at the office door, Edward. Seeing him looking at me, I thought he had something to do, so I spoke into the phone and said, “Wait for me!”
Then I looked at Edward at the door and said, “Mr. White, are you off work?”
He nodded, “What are you having for dinner?”
If he hadn’t spoken, I would have forgotten that I was to take care of his three meals a day, so I froze slightly and remembered that Jannings also happened to be asking me to dinner.
So I just said, “I haven’t decided yet, what do you want to eat?”
He lowered his eyes slightly, “All is fine, it’s after work, let’s go!”
“Okay, you go down first, I’ll collect my things and come back later.”
Seeing him go, I spoke into the phone, “Jannings!”
The other end of the phone said, “Are you going to refuse my invitation?”
I held my forehead, a little heartbroken at her IQ, and spoke, “You’re stupid, such a good opportunity, aren’t you going to take this diamond kingpin?”
“What do you mean?”
“It means that you now have a particularly good opportunity, I send you the address of Mr. White’s house, you cook in the evening, I play the hand, together at Mr. White’s house for dinner, how about it?”
She was so happy to hear that she said, “Really? Clara, you are my lucky star, wait, I’ll be right there!”
After hanging up the phone, I hurried out of the office and found Edward’s car in the parking lot.
He seemed to be smoking in the car and smelled like smoke. I coughed a few times and said, “Something on your mind?”
He started the car and said lightly, “No!”
I shut up and saw that he didn’t seem to be in a good mood, but I wasn’t sure what it was.
Half an hour later, arrived at the villa, Edward went directly to the calligraphy, I turned around in the kitchen, dishes are available, no need to buy.
Jannings came with a large bag, I could not help but say, “all and you said, do not need to buy, why do you still buy.”
She blinked for a moment and said, “You need ingredients to cook, I don’t know if you have them here, so I bought them all.
“Who is it?” I asked in passing as I took the dish from her hand.
“It seems to be the assistant beside Dennis, he seems to be moving!” The kitchen was all smart, and she operated it smoothly, gesturing for me to wash the dishes.
I froze, a little puzzled, “Toby moved in here?”
She nodded, already starting the ingredients.
I couldn’t help but freeze, the price of City A, although not as expensive as City P, but also rose to 20, 000, he has married and had children, here to buy tens of millions of villas to do what?
And not often over, work are in City P, this house to buy to do investment, just pressure is too much, right!
Can’t figure out what so, I didn’t think much about it, followed by Jannings playing hands.
When I think of Valentine’s Day coming up, I can’t help but say, “How are you going to spend Eve?”
She was stunned and looked at me sideways, “You’ve thought about it?”
I nodded, “I made a date with Linda and said we’d have dinner together.”
She chuckled, “I guarantee you, she’ll miss her date.”
“What do you mean?”
“She should also be at the age of looking for a second chance, such a good holiday, it should go out with ambiguous people or something, when can’t little sisters make a date? It has to be a Tanabata date?”
Seeing her slicing the fish into pieces, I couldn’t help but marvel at her knife work, and thought for a moment, “So what you’re implying is that you won’t spend Tanabata with me?”
She laughed, “Don’t you think, when can’t I ask you out, it has to be the eve? It’s such a nice day, of course I’m doing something that needs to be done!”
That’s true!
I think I’m going to go back to City P.
When this project is finished and Dennis and I get our divorce papers, I’ll have to consider settling down in City A.
When the meal was almost done, Jannings looked at me and said, “Wash your hands and go call the next door neighbor, we all know each other and happen to be neighbors, we have made so many dishes today, consider it a reception for him.”
I almost forgot about this, washed my hands and was ready to go out, looked at her and said, “Edward is in the room on the left on the second floor, you go call.”
She hemmed and hawed and narrowed her eyes and said, “Can I take that to mean you’re creating an opportunity for me?”
I shrugged my shoulders, “Benevolent, wise.”
This villa in Edward is not empty, each house is not far apart from each other, the front garden with a yard, the back garden is a fish pond or a swimming pool.
The two houses are only separated by a wall, and the people on the opposite side of the balcony can hear them.
After ringing the doorbell of the villa next door, Toby came to see the door, and when he saw me, he froze slightly and said, “Mrs. George, what do you want?”
I was stunned and laughed, “You know we’re neighbors?” Why else would he have asked me what I wanted to do instead of asking me why I was here?
A little embarrassed, he avoided the subject and said, “Come in and sit down!”
“No need!” I laughed, “It’s dinner time, you just moved here today, you probably didn’t cook, why don’t you eat with me first?”
He smiled and gestured for me to come in and sit down.
I originally thought it was strange, but when I went in and saw the man sitting on the gray sofa reading a book I understood.
It was not Toby who had moved in here, but Dennis.
“Mrs. George, let me get you a glass of water!” Toby opened his mouth, and he was already walking toward the pantry.
I stood in the living room, could not help but a little embarrassed, thought of Linda’s words, paused and said, “Today noon ointment, thank you!”
Dennis looked at the book in his hand, turned a page, not shallowly opened his mouth and answered, “Well!”
Then, there was not a word.
After a pause, I continued, “Are you planning to live over here?”
“Mm!” Still a word.
I pursed my lips and continued to speak, “You should not have eaten yet, we cooked, it’s ready, want to eat together?”
He suddenly got up, still not shallow, and spoke, “Yes!”
Then, he put down the book and went out.
Toby poured water, saw him go out, froze, a little embarrassed, handed me a glass of water and said, “Mrs. George, you drink water!”
I shook my head and said, “No, you can come over for dinner too.”
He nodded his head and smiled, “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“You’re welcome!”
