Edgar Austin walked out and said hello with a smile, "Miss Lola, what's the matter?"
Lola Gellar's little mouth curled up slightly, "Why, can't I come to your place if you have nothing to do?"
Edgar Austin smiled and said, "Of course you can come. You are always welcome here." After a pause, he said, "I'm really sorry about yesterday, I messed up."
Lola Gellar said: "I don't blame you, I didn't know Stephen Price would come. We haven't seen each other for several years."
Edgar Austin said: "Your parents seem to like him quite a lot."
Lola Gellar said: "I'm here to apologize to you. My mother was a little rude last night, and Stephen Price, he was too arrogant..." She looked at Edgar Austin, not knowing what to say.
Edgar Austin looked indifferent, "It's okay. It's normal for people of his status to look down on people like me. This society is like this, lacking a little trust and respect." He smiled again, "Also, you Mom, that's for your own good, Stephen Price is very good, I think most mothers would choose that kind of son-in-law."
"Oh, please stop talking."Lola Gellar interrupted Edgar Austin, "Not all women want to marry a man with a high social status, and not all women want to marry a big house or a luxury car. You are not me, how do you know what kind of man I like?"
Edgar Austin said: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that."
Lola Gellar said: "I know you don't mean that. What I want to say is, what kind of person do I like and what kind of person do I want to spend my life with? Only I know in my heart that my mother cannot be the master of my life-long affairs." .”
Edgar Austin didn't want to talk about this topic anymore, so he said, "Please go in and sit down. I'll make you a cup of tea, and then we'll have a chat."
Lola Gellar looked at Edgar Austin with a straight look, "It won't delay your work, right?"
Edgar Austin said with a smile: "No, no, I don't have much work today."
A sweet smile appeared on Lola Gellar's face, "Can you introduce two of your employees to me? I don't have many friends, and I want to make two more friends."
Edgar Austin said: "No problem, they will be happy to meet a friend like you."
Lola Gellar followed Edgar Austin into the studio, and Edgar Austin introduced Kaiden Barlow and Emily to Lola Gellar. The four of them chatted and laughed, and then Lola Gellar went to ask Emily to use the computer and office software. The atmosphere in the studio was very harmonious.
Looking at Lola Gellar and Emily who were getting along so happily, Edgar Austin felt a little confused, "How could a doctoral student like Lola Gellar want to know Kaiden Barlow and Emily? It's strange."
When people with high education get along with people with low education, there are actually very few topics to talk about, and the possibility of becoming friends is even smaller.
But before Edgar Austin could figure out a reason, a black BMW stopped on the side of the road. It was a BMW 7 Series sedan worth several million. The body was waxed, and when the sun shone, the whole car became dazzling and magnificent.
The car door opened, and Stephen Price in a suit and leather shoes stepped out of the cab. He took off his sunglasses and glanced at Thunder Horse Studio, then walked straight over.
"Miss Lola, someone is looking for you."Edgar Austin said. He didn't think Stephen Price came to see him. If Lola Gellar hadn't been here, a person of Stephen Price's status would probably never have taken a look at a small street workshop like Thunder Horse Studio.
Hearing Edgar Austin speak, Lola Gellar raised his head and glanced up. When she saw Stephen Price, she was stunned for a moment, and the smile on her face disappeared immediately.
Stephen Price walked into Lei Ma Studio. His eyes quickly swept across Edgar Austin's face, Kaiden Barlow and Emily's faces, and then stopped on Lola Gellar's face. A beautiful smile appeared on his face, "Lola, why was your phone turned off when I called you? I went to your house to look for you, and my aunt said you were out. I went to your work to look for you again, and I found out that you didn't go to work today. I asked and found out Here. This place is really hard to find. I had to work very hard to find it."
A forced smile appeared on Lola Gellar's face, "What do you want from me?"
Stephen Price said: "I have been away from this city for several years. The changes here have been great. I want to see its changes, but I lack a guide who can show me around. Would you like to accompany me for a walk?" No. When Lola Gellar agreed, he continued: "I have ordered a meal at Golden Beach. We can have Western food at noon."
Luxury cars, romantic Western food, and handsome men, these elements have an irresistible charm for women, but Lola Gellar seems to be an exception. She shook her head, "I don't like Western food."
Stephen Price said: "Then let's go have Chinese food. I know a restaurant that specializes in Cantonese cuisine. The food there is very good."
"I..."Lola Gellar didn't expect Stephen Price to be so pestering. She didn't want to reject him directly, so she said she didn't want to eat Western food. But she didn't expect that he would just switch to Cantonese food, so she didn't know what excuse to use to refuse. At this time, Emily got up and went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of boiling water for Stephen Price. She held it in both hands and handed it to Stephen Price, "Sir, please drink water."
Stephen Price didn't even stretch out his hand, nor did he respond politely. He didn't even look at Emily.
Emily was stunned on the spot, looking very embarrassed and not knowing what to do.
Edgar Austin said aloud: "Emily, this gentleman is too noble for you to greet him. You can go about your business and don't worry about it."
Emily returned to the desk with the water cup. She put the water cup on the desk and buried her head in learning how to operate the computer and software. She seemed to be used to living a humble life, but she didn't react with any displeasure even though Stephen Price was so contemptuous.
Kaiden Barlow did not have the good temper of Emily. He picked up the water glass on the desk, drank all the water in one breath, then placed the water glass heavily on the desk, and said angrily: "The country The leader doesn’t have such a big air, right? He pours you water just to give you face, he doesn’t even know the slightest courtesy, what the hell!”
There was a hint of anger in Stephen Price's eyes, and he sneered, "A welder is so angry, I don't know where he gets the confidence from."
"What's wrong with the welding? Tell me again!"Kaiden Barlow rolled up his sleeves, looking ready to start a fight.
Stephen Price's eyes were full of disdain, "You're going to take action just by saying that? But before you take action, I want to remind you that I am an eighth-level judo practitioner."
Kaiden Barlow retracted one of his already stepped out heels. He couldn't defeat even a first-level judo player, let alone an eighth-dan judo player.
Stephen Price looked at Edgar Austin again, his eyes still full of disdain, "Edgar Austin, right? I know it's not easy for you to open a small shop. You are doing well at your level, but you don't You think too much, Lola Gellar is not a woman you can pursue, don’t pester her in the future, because you don’t deserve it.”
No matter how good his temper was, Edgar Austin couldn't bear it any longer. He pointed at the door and said, "Get out of here!"
Stephen Price looked at Lola Gellar and said, "Lola, come with me. Don't stay with these rough guys all day long. You will be polluted by them."
"I won't leave! If you want to leave, you can go by yourself!"Lola Gellar was actually fed up.
Stephen Price said: "Do you want me to call my aunt and uncle? I think if they knew you were here, they would definitely come over. Your father has a bad heart, can you bear to make him angry because of this?" "
"You..."Lola Gellar was so angry that she burst into tears, "Why are you so domineering!"
Stephen Price said: "I am not overbearing, how can I protect you? There are too many liars in the world now, and you are so simple, you can easily be deceived."
Although he didn't explicitly say who was the liar, he looked at Edgar Austin with provocative eyes when he said this. His words were obviously aimed at Edgar Austin.
Edgar Austin wanted to take action. Kaiden Barlow also grabbed a wrench and was ready to help Edgar Austin.
At this moment, three cars stopped on the roadside. A black Mercedes-Benz sedan, a flatbed truck, and a small crane.
The door of the Mercedes-Benz opened, and a bald old man got out of the passenger compartment. He glanced at the shop sign at Rema Studio and then walked straight over. Behind him, the driver of the flatbed truck jumped out and unhooked the tarp on the bed. There are two brand-new CNC lathes and a precision welding machine placed on the cargo compartment.
The sudden turn of events brought a pause in the tension in the studio.
The old man walked into Thunder Horse Studio. He has a thin face and long eyebrows. Although the corners of his eyes are full of wrinkles, his eyes are still sharp and deep, and there is a sense of vicissitudes that young people do not have.
Edgar Austin had never seen this old man before, and with the trucks and cranes outside the store, he was full of questions. He was about to ask a question, but unexpectedly Stephen Price spoke first.
"Uncle Fu."Stephen Price looked surprised and respectful, "Why do you always come here?"
The old man known as Uncle Fu glanced at Stephen Price and said calmly: "Stephen, what are you doing here?"
"I..."Stephen Price smiled awkwardly, "I'm here to find my friend."
The old man known as Uncle Fu did not say a word to Stephen Price. He glanced at Xia Edgar Austin, then at Kaiden Barlow, and asked tentatively: "Which one of you is Edgar Austin?"
Edgar Austin said: "I am, who are you?"
A smile appeared on the face of the old man called Uncle Fu, "My name is Fu Chuanfu, and I am the old housekeeper of the Veronica Family. Haha, I heard about what happened yesterday. Thank you so much."
When he said this, Edgar Austin suddenly understood. Veronica Veronica's appearance suddenly appeared in his mind. Everything about her was so clear, as if she was right in front of him, still so lonely, proud, and stunningly beautiful.
Next to him, Stephen Price looked at Edgar Austin in surprise. Everything he had now was given to him by Veronica Veronica, but he couldn't figure out how Edgar Austin, a small person who ran a street shop, could possibly know a woman like Veronica Veronica! His mood at this moment is difficult to express in words, it is extremely complicated!
Fu Chuanfu continued: "My lady asked me to send you some equipment to express my gratitude to you."
Before Edgar Austin could speak, Stephen Price interrupted and said, "Mr. Fu, what's going on? How could Veronica let you..."
Fu Chuanfu frowned, "Stephen, don't you know I don't like people to interrupt me when I'm talking?"
Stephen Price was stunned for a moment, blushed and closed his mouth.
