Half an hour later, Elaine drove to a Western restaurant on the beach. There were not many people eating Western food at noon, and there were only about a dozen customers in the restaurant.
Elaine and Edgar Austin sat at a dining table next to the floor-to-ceiling windows. Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, they could see a clean beach and the blue sea. The scenery was really good.
Edgar Austin seemed a little clumsy when eating Western food for the first time, but he quickly adapted to it.
"Edgar, I really want to thank you this time."Elaine raised the red wine glass, "Let me toast you."
Edgar Austin smiled and said: "If you really want to thank me, then add another lobster."
Elaine suddenly took off her high heels and kicked Edgar Austin between the thighs.
Caught off guard, Edgar Austin quickly tightened his legs and said nervously: "What are you doing? This is a restaurant."
Elaine pulled back the kicking leg, but Edgar Austin was worried that she would cause trouble again and did not dare to let go. The two of them were pulling and pinching each other, neither of them knowing the other's purpose, so they were both extremely embarrassed and nervous. It didn't matter. After a few confrontations, Edgar Austin suddenly let go of his legs, but Elaine's foot hit Edgar Austin hard due to inertia.
There were no sparks or explosions in the collision between the soles of the feet and the soles of the feet, but it was like a violent chemical reaction, and both bodies froze at that moment.
"You..."Edgar Austin's mouth opened and he was speechless. The foot that kicked on his thing did not bring him any uncomfortable feeling. Instead, it was so comfortable and exciting that he was speechless.
There was no spot on Elaine's face that was not red. She was stunned for a moment and hurriedly retracted her feet, not daring to look into Edgar Austin's eyes. She buried her head, but she was quietly reminiscing about the wonderful feeling of touch at that moment, as if it was an electric shock, tingling and tingling. Certain fruits and vegetables appeared inexplicably in her beautiful head, such as bananas, cucumbers and so on.
Just when they were extremely embarrassed, a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked over to the dining table where the two of them were dining.
A handsome and elegant young man with a good temperament and a charming smile. Even his voice has a charming magnetism, "Elaine, it's really you. You have become so beautiful. I didn't dare to recognize you just now." "
"You are..."Elaine looked at the young man's handsome face, suddenly remembered something, and said happily: "Israel Dempsey! It's really you, where have you been assigned?"
"After graduation, I was assigned to an agency in Kyoto. This time I was transferred back."Israel Dempsey kept a charming smile on his face, "When I came back this time, I heard that you solved a major case and did You are the director of the Beigong District Bureau. You are so awesome. Why didn’t we see you so awesome when we were at the police academy?”
Edgar Austin heard from the conversation between the two that this young man named Israel Dempsey was Elaine's classmate in college. When classmates meet, it seems a little inappropriate to have him next to them. He glanced at Elaine and was about to find an excuse to leave when Israel Dempsey reached out to him.
"Are you Elaine's boyfriend?"Israel Dempsey said very gracefully: "Hello, my name is Israel Dempsey. What is your surname, sir?"
Israel Dempsey was standing, and Edgar Austin couldn't sit still. Out of politeness, he stood up, stretched out his hand to shake Israel Dempsey hand, and said, "Edgar Austin." Then he smiled and said, "But I We are not Elaine boyfriends, we are good friends who grew up and played together."
"That's it. Nice to meet you." Xu Lang let go of his hand and said polite words, but his eyes moved to Edgar Austin's palm.
Edgar Austin is not a young man, and his job is not as easy as sitting in an office. There are thick calluses on his palms. Careful people can easily guess the nature of his job from this, as well as his social level, net worth and income.
As if he had guessed this, Israel Dempsey frowned slightly.
The change in this expression was very subtle, but Edgar Austin's current eyesight was not comparable to that of ordinary people. He saw Israel Dempsey glance at his palm and then frown, and he suddenly understood something in his heart.
In the past few years of working hard in society, what has he not seen? Israel Dempsey was very polite at first, but he frowned when he found calluses on his hands. Wasn't this looking down on a blue-collar worker like him? However, he didn't care, he was tolerant.
"Let's sit down and chat."Elaine invited Israel Dempsey to take a seat, "You haven't eaten yet? Why don't we come together? I'll treat you."
Israel Dempsey said with a smile: "If you want to invite me, I will invite you. There is no reason for a lady to treat you. But I am not alone. I am waiting for my uncle."
"Your uncle?"Elaine , "I remembered, isn't your uncle Director Ronan Ronan Dempsey ? Is he coming too? Where are the others?"
At this moment, Ronan Dempsey came in from the door of the restaurant. Israel Dempsey waved to him. He saw it and walked over.
"Hello, Director Ronan."Elaine stood up and took the initiative to greet Ronan Dempsey.
Ronan Dempsey waved his hand and said in a low voice: "Not commensurate with the position in non-work situations will have a bad impact."
Elaine smiled awkwardly and moved a dining chair for Ronan Dempsey.
Israel Dempsey also said: "Uncle, I didn't expect to meet Elaine here. We were classmates when we were studying at the police academy. Let's just sit together."
Ronan Dempsey nodded and took his seat. He glanced at Edgar Austin, but didn't say hello.
Edgar Austin originally wanted to greet him, but it could be thought that he and Ronan Dempsey had only met once, and there was not even a formal greeting before, so he thought about it and let it go. He is also a proud man at heart. Even if Ronan Dempsey is the director, let alone the director, he will not deliberately curry favor with him.
Israel Dempsey waved his hand, and a waiter came over holding a menu.
"Sir, what would you like to order?" The waiter was very polite.
Israel Dempsey said: "Bring me three portions of lobster and a bottle of five-year-old red wine, from Chateau Aife."
"Okay, I'll take note of it," the waiter said.
Israel Dempsey looked at Edgar Austin again and said, "Mr. Xia, this is the first time we meet and I don't know what you like to eat. What do you like to eat? Let me order it for you."
Edgar Austin said calmly: "Thank you, I just ate it and I don't need it anymore."
Israel Dempsey simply said to the waiter: "That's it."
"Okay sir, I'll let the kitchen prepare it now." The waiter said.
Elaine stopped the waiter who was about to leave, "Wait a minute, please remove another portion of lobster. I've almost eaten it, and I don't want to eat anymore." She added with a smile, "If I eat more, I'm afraid I will Gain weight.”
In fact, if Israel Dempsey ordered four portions of lobster and Edgar Austin refused, she would not refuse. Israel Dempsey looked at Edgar Austin with a special look. Although she was polite on the surface, she was not a dull woman who only realized things later. She had long seen that Israel Dempsey looked down on Edgar Austin. This made her a little unhappy.
Israel Dempsey said with some embarrassment: "Elaine, we haven't seen each other for two years. I was transferred back from Kyoto and will be colleagues from now on. Do you want to give me this face? Let's eat some more and let's drink some wine."
"I..."Elaine glanced at Edgar Austin.
Edgar Austin didn't notice, he was still thinking of some excuse to leave.
At this time, Ronan Dempsey Zhengyi said: "That's right, Elaine, Israel Dempsey will work in the technical department when he is transferred back this time. From now on, you will be regarded as colleagues. We will inevitably interact with each other. It is a rare time for everyone to get together, so don't be disappointed."
Ronan Dempsey spoke, but Elaine didn't dare not give it to him, so she nodded.
Edgar Austin also thought of an excuse to leave. He said, "I still have something to do in the store. Please excuse me if you three can use me."
"Edgar..." Jiang Ruyi hesitated, she didn't want Edgar Austin to leave.
Israel Dempsey smiled and said, "Then I won't give it away. I'll accompany you next time."
Ronan Dempsey just glanced at Edgar Austin and didn't say a word to Edgar Austin from beginning to end.
But at this moment, a woman walked in the aisle. Wearing a long black skirt, black low-heeled leather shoes, black sunglasses and a handbag, she is tall and long-legged like a female assassin from a movie, with an aura of coldness, arrogance and danger all over her body. Her eyes were locked on Edgar Austin from the moment he appeared. Everyone in the restaurant seemed to be excluded by her and never took a second look.
Although the sunglasses covered her eyes and part of her face, Edgar Austin recognized her at a glance, Julianna.
"Why did she appear here?"Edgar Austin felt very strange and forgot to leave.
Israel Dempsey didn't notice Julianna. He glanced at Edgar Austin and said unhappily: "Mr. Xia, aren't you leaving?"
Edgar Austin came to his senses this time and was about to speak when Julianna had already walked to the dining table. Julianna stared at her and blocked what he was about to say.
Only then did Israel Dempsey, Ronan Dempsey and Elaine discover Julianna.
Elaine's eyes suddenly became complicated, because she had seen Julianna and knew what a mysterious and powerful woman she was. She wanted to say hello to Julianna, but found that he only looked at Edgar Austin from beginning to end, without even looking at her!
"Miss, who are you?"Israel Dempsey looked at Julianna in surprise, a stunning light flashed in his eyes.
At this time, Ronan Dempsey suddenly stood up, looking a little nervous, "Miss Julianna, why are you here?"
Julianna then glanced at Ronan Dempsey, and her voice was cold, "Well, Director Ronan, I want to talk to Edgar Austin about something."
"Uncle, do you know each other?"Israel Dempsey said with a smile: "Why don't you introduce me?" He then stood up and extended his hand to Julianna with a very graceful look, "My name is Israel Dempsey, I'm very happy I know you, miss, what’s your surname?”
Julianna didn't even stretch out his hand, but instead pulled the dining chair next to Edgar Austin away.
Edgar Austin said in confusion: "What are you doing?"
Julianna said: "I haven't invited anyone to dinner for three years. I want to treat you to a meal today. Please sit down."
Edgar Austin was stunned for a moment. It didn't matter if he sat down or not.
Israel Dempsey's face suddenly turned red, and there was a hint of anger on his face, and there were strong signs of an attack. Ronan Dempsey, who was beside him, suddenly kicked him under the table, and then glared at him nervously.
Israel Dempsey was not a fool and understood immediately. No matter what her identity is, the woman who can make his uncle hint to him nervously is not a woman he can offend! But what he couldn't figure out was how could such a mysterious and well-established woman be so respectful and polite to a boy with calloused hands? He can't understand!
"Sorry, can you please move to another table? I want to talk to Edgar Austin alone."Julianna said.
"Haha..."Ronan Dempsey's old face had actually lost its composure for a long time, but at this time he could still put on a smile. He said with a smile: "Okay, you guys can talk slowly and we won't bother you. Let's change it." table."
Julianna looked at Edgar Austin quietly again, "Please sit down."
Edgar Austin smiled bitterly and sat down bravely. He guessed Julianna's purpose of looking for him this time, but he couldn't guess it at all.
In the aisle, Israel Dempsey asked in a low voice: "Uncle, who is this Miss Julianna?"
Ronan Dempsey lowered his voice, "I don't know, but she can make people from the Anti-Corruption Bureau have Sebastian dismissed from class in twenty minutes with just one phone call, and she can even point a gun at the police chief's head at the police station. What do you think of her? What's the background?" After a pause, he leaned close to Israel Dempsey's ear, and his voice became even lower, "Also, Elaine is the chief, and the news I heard was what she meant. Be careful, don't Provoke her.”
Israel Dempsey's back suddenly felt chilly.
