Baggs Club.

A Spanish-style restaurant built on the coast, the restaurant is divided into two parts: indoor and outdoor.

Luke and Lilith were sitting at the outdoor dining table chatting. Next door was the endless sea. The sea breeze was blowing on their faces and they could faintly hear the sound of waves crashing on the coast. It was very healing.

Lilith picked up the red wine glass and said, "Cheers."

"Cheers!" Luke also picked up the wine glass, took a sip, and savored the taste of the red wine.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Luke followed the locals and gradually became accustomed to drinking wine.

Lilith asked, "When do you think Inspector Yarrow will catch the thief?"

Luke looked at the sea level, "This case is not very difficult, and the method of committing the crime is not clever.

Previously, Detective Yarrow had made no progress in the investigation because the other party misunderstood the suspect's motive and always thought that the suspect wanted to steal the complete enamel gourd bottle.

Now, Detective Yarrow has determined a new direction of investigation, and the investigation should progress quickly.

I guess there may be results tomorrow."

Lilith rubbed her temples and said, "When you say that, I feel relieved."

Luke picked up an olive and took a bite. "Your grandfather gave you the responsibility to manage this club?"

"Yes." Lilith smiled, "Speaking of which, I have to thank you.

I gave my grandfather part of the treasure we found on the unknown island, and also told us about our treasure hunting experience. My grandfather was very happy and asked me about the treasure hunting process and details like a child.

I haven't seen him so happy for a long time.

My grandfather also told me that doing business requires a spirit of exploration just like treasure hunting.

I told him that as his granddaughter and a member of the Finn family, I have never lacked the spirit of exploration, and this treasure hunt is the best proof.

I made the old man happy, and he handed over the management of this club to me."

Luke asked with some envy, "What do you mean I left it to you? Did I give it to you?"

"It's still too early to say this now. Although my grandfather is old, he is in good physical condition and has a clear mind...

What I have to do now is to take care of this club, which is also the most basic thing.

If I can't even do this..." Lilith showed an expression that you know.

Luke smiled and said, "It seems that it is not easy to be the heir of a big family."

"Yes, I have never managed a family business before, and I still have a lot to learn." Lilith said softly, "To be honest, I was a little panicked when I suddenly landed in this position.

Especially the stolen auction items made me very passive. If I don't handle it well, I will definitely be laughed at by those annoying people at the next family gathering.

Thank you again for your help, my knight."

Luke grabbed her white and tender palm, kissed the back of it, and raised his eyebrows, "Thank you with words, but it's not sincere. You need to take action."

Lilith smiled, "I haven't had a good rest since the auction was stolen last night. Now I can finally rest assured and have a good sleep.

I don’t have the energy to go crazy with you tonight.”

"What about tomorrow night?"

Lilith blinked her big eyes, "It depends on my mood."

Luke joked, "There is a saying in China that the rabbit will die and the dog will be cooked. I have realized it now."

"Come on, I'm not the kind of person you say, why don't we talk about your reward."

Luke picked up the red wine glass and clinked it with her, "The theft suspect hasn't been caught yet. Isn't it a little early to say this now?"

Lilith took a sip of red wine and said, "With Captain Luke taking action, how could there be a suspect that could not be caught, let alone a petty thief?

I believe in you."

At this moment, a waitress came over and nodded, "Miss Fenn, Mr. Li, your dinner is ready."

"Let's serve the meal."

"Okay." After a while, several waiters came over with trays and placed exquisite dishes one after another on the table.

Spanish paella, Iberian ham, Galician octopus, stewed oxtail, Spanish fish soup, Spanish roasted pork loin, Asturian stew, etc.

"You two, please use it slowly."

After the waiters served the food, they left the restaurant one after another, and there were only two people left in the entire open-air restaurant.

Luke asked, "Have you reserved the venue today?"

"Yes, don't talk about the food being cooked to death, I value you very much." Lilith picked up the wine glass, clinked it with Luke, and said with a smile, "How about trying the food? It's my first time too.

vegetable."

Luke first came with a piece of roasted pork loin. This thing needs to be hot to taste. It has a charred and soft texture in the mouth, and there is a faint aroma of wine. "It tastes good."

Lilith ate a mussel and nodded slightly, "It's not bad."

Luke ate another piece of ham. The meat was soft, slightly chewy, and melted in your mouth. It had salty, sweet, and rich texture, which was perfect for drinking.

After tasting several dishes, Lilith put down her fork and took a sip of red wine, "What do you think of these dishes?"

Luke nodded, "Except for the octopus dish, everything else is delicious. Overall, it tastes good."

"Since Captain Li said so, let's keep him." Lilith smiled, "Let's talk about your remuneration. If you have any requirements, you can ask directly."

"I came here because of your face, so it doesn't matter how much the money is." Luke looked like you were looking at him.

Lilith leaned forward and said in a coquettish tone, "Is it okay if I don't give it?"

Luke shrugged, "Just take care of the food."

"Ha ha……"

Lilith chuckled lightly, "Your words are enough, I will not use my favor to save money for the club.

Therefore, I’d better save your free help for future times when I need it.”

"I have two plans. The first plan is a consulting fee of US$500,000;

The second option is a consulting fee of US$450,000, plus a one-year Bags Club membership card." After Lilith finished speaking, she added, "I suggest you choose the latter, because members of the Bags Club

The annual fee is usually around $100,000.”

"Is it so expensive? Are there any services?"

"Membership is just a threshold to enter the club. In addition, you can stay in the club for free for twenty days within a year and enjoy all public facilities and services, such as golf, gym, racecourse, buffet, etc.

As long as there are no additional services, you basically don’t have to pay anything.”

Luke thought for a moment and decided to choose the second option for two reasons.

The first is the issue of paying taxes. Although the first plan seems to be an extra $50,000, it is before tax, and after tax, it is only more than $30,000. It is still more expensive to buy a one-year club membership with more than $30,000.

Very cost effective.

Among them, you can also stay for twenty days for free. Luke can come here for a vacation when he is tired from work.

Secondly, the threshold of this club is very high. Those who can come here are either rich or noble. It is necessary for Luke to spend 30,000 US dollars to experience the life circle of the rich.

What's more, isn't making money just for enjoyment?

Luke smiled and said, "I'm here on vacation alone. Can I ask you for afternoon tea when I'm bored?"

Lilith said arrogantly, "If all the guests want to invite me for afternoon tea, then I don't have to do anything else every day.

However, you are an exception.

As long as I'm in a good mood, of course."

"Why do you feel like you are so fickle?"

Lilith said indifferently, "Are there any women who are not fickle?"

Luke raised his glass and said with a smile, "Cheers to your emotional stability!"

…

The next morning.

Luke woke up naturally from his sleep. Looking at the somewhat unfamiliar bedroom, he remembered that this was not his new home, but the club's house.

Luke walked to the window, opened the curtains, and the sun shone into the room. When he opened the window, a breath of fresh air came into his nose.

Luke also lived in a single-family villa. Outside the window was a separate courtyard planted with many small purple and yellow flowers, which looked vibrant and beautiful in the morning sun.

Luke stretched, washed up, changed into clean clothes, and went to the cafeteria to eat.

The menu in the restaurant was very rich. Luke ordered a glass of milk, a cup of coffee, French fries, fried eggs, bacon, ham sausage, sandwiches, blueberries and oranges.

Luke ate very slowly, admiring the scenery outside the window and enjoying his leisurely time.

Halfway through Luke's breakfast, Lilith came and sat opposite Luke with a dinner plate, "Good morning."

"Eating so little?" Luke saw that there was only one fried egg, a vegetable salad and a cup of coffee on Lilith's plate.

"I just woke up and I don't have much appetite yet."
