Chapter 376: After
hearing the words of the old housekeeper during their first meeting, the female investigator immediately expressed her dissatisfaction:
"Madam, she should have her own social activities now, right?"
"It would be unavoidable to invite more people to meet at this time. Some are not suitable."
The old housekeeper did not change his expression because of the investigator's rejection.
Still wearing a smile, he explained to the investigator in a calm tone:
"Madam, the master has great trust in your abilities." "
And this invitation is only for the master. She feels that she may disturb the surrounding audience, so she hopes I just want to express my apology to this gentleman in person."
"I hope you can understand."
"..."
After saying this, the old butler's eyes shifted from the investigator to Ronald.
Although it only came for a few seconds.
But having been in a complex social environment for a long time, he had vaguely sensed the subtlety of the atmosphere in the room.
The two investigators, who were supposed to be quite strong, now seemed to be worried about Ronald, who was sitting in the back. They who usually should refuse to answer by saying 'This gentleman doesn't have time' now use a euphemism like 'This is a bit inappropriate'.
Judging from the experience of the old housekeeper.
The gentleman in the room should be someone worthy of the hostess's acquaintance.
"..."
After that, the changes in the room were as the old housekeeper expected.
After politely refusing to be dealt with by the person in front of her, the female investigator still turned her questioning eyes to Ronald.
An original code holder with a good personality who has cooperated with the investigation bureau many times.
At this time, she doesn't mind leaving the choice to the other party.
So, Ronald walked over with a polite smile on his face:
"I'm just going to take a look."
"Should be back soon."
"..."
The female investigator slightly nodded her head to show understanding, and the old man The butler saluted again:
"Sir -"
"Thank you for your consideration."
Ronald followed the old butler and left. The countess' seat was next door.
As soon as he walked in, Ronald frowned at the noise caused by people gathering together.
He doesn't like too busy places.
The countess's side exactly meets this definition.
In this spacious room with special seats in the theater, many well-dressed men and women were chatting with each other. Although many people were sweating profusely due to the heat, the exaggerated smiles on their faces did not diminish at all.
"..."
In such an environment, Ronald was taken by the old housekeeper to the only relatively relaxed position in the room.
——Viewing seats.
——that is, where the countess is.
When Ronald saw the other party for the first time, he remembered Heloise's previous description.
The countess is an absolute beauty.
In fact, this is indeed the case.
Under the warm lights of the theater, a graceful lady was sitting elegantly on a chair, with a graceful smile hanging on her seductive red lips. The countess looked at everything around her with deep eyes.
Next to this beautiful lady was a male waiter who was half-kneeling on the ground, serving her a drink. The waiter didn't even dare to raise his head to look at the countess, but just maintained his lowered head to serve.
After realizing that the old housekeeper returned here with Ronald.
The Countess' eyes first lingered on Ronald's young and handsome face for a moment.
Then he returned to his butler.
With just a quick glance, she immediately saw a look of seriousness on the familiar butler's face.
"Huh?"
The countess's eyes lit up and she immediately stood up without hesitation.
Then he took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and handed it to Ronald in a friendly manner:
"Al?"
"This gentleman is...?"
Ronald took the initiative to introduce himself:
"Ronald, Ronald De Adler."
"But I don't drink alcoholic drinks, please forgive me." "
..."
The countess did not feel any discomfort because of Ronald's refusal.
On the contrary, after hearing Ronald's self-introduction, the lady immediately showed a charming and seductive smile, and then elegantly raised her neck and drank the drink.
Then there was a drop of wine "cleverly" hanging on his lips.
Then she continued to speak to Ronald:
"In that case, I will drink it for you." "
Please Al, he invites you over, mainly because I want to express my apology to you." "
In this kind of place where you appreciate elegant art, I'm really sorry for causing such commotion in the place."
"..."
Ronald was silent.
What the countess made was a rather outrageous move.
According to Ronald's understanding of the local social etiquette, this behavior of drinking for others can only be done if the relationship is very intimate, at least to the level of lovers.
Combined with other expressions and movements of the countess.
It is not difficult to imagine what the other party means to Ronald now.
Heloise's commission...
What a start for me...
After this thought briefly came to his mind, Ronald quickly returned to the role he was supposed to play.
So he took a step back with a slight embarrassment, and said to the countess with a sneer:
"It's nothing, I can understand."
"But I usually don't like to be in crowded places. If there is nothing else, I will go back first. ."
After saying that, Ronald nodded apologetically, then immediately turned around and left.
In fact, whether it is performance or his true inner thoughts, Ronald now really wants to leave here.
After taking a few steps, Ronald's keen hearing detected the countess' voice coming from behind him.
The other party also did not retain Ronald, who was obviously interested in him.
Instead, he gave him another reminder:
"Mr. Ronald, don't forget my invitation."
"I'm looking forward to meeting you later!"
"..."
The first meeting ended hastily.
As soon as he left the other party's room, Ronald took a long breath:
"Huh——"
"That's enough..."
Seeing Ronald's reaction, the female investigator who followed him to guard the door said. A hint of a smile:
"Mr. Ronald, it seems that you don't adapt to this environment very well."
"..."
Ronald smiled and shook his head, then walked to his room.
"There is no such thing in the Yuez Forest."
"Compared to this kind of interaction between people, I prefer to be alone." The
female investigator immediately followed Ronald's back:
"This kind of You will definitely encounter a lot of things in the future."
"It's better to adapt to it early."
Ronald's tone remained the same:
"I think so." "
It's better to avoid such things as much as possible in the future."
"And in this case, for This should also be good news for your work?"
Hearing Ronald's smiling tone.
The female investigator also made a joke to the original code holder:
"Then please be sure not to do it."
"If big shots like you all have such thoughts, then my weekly salary will probably be reduced a lot. ”
