At night, Owen arrived at the party on time according to the address sent by Benjamin. When he arrived, he discovered that the party at Benjamin's house was held at home, and there were very few people. It was basically a private gathering of family and friends.
Tuk-tuk-tuk, Owen knocked on the door.
"Hey, man, I was afraid you wouldn't come..."
Benjamin opened the door. Owen handed over the red wine he had prepared. Benjamin took it and gave Owen a hug.
The two weren't actually very close when they were in Los Angeles, it was just a working relationship, but since Owen saved his father, Benjamin has been very enthusiastic.
"Look, who is here..."
Benjamin led Owen into the door. There was soft music playing in the room. Several people were sitting or standing chatting. When they heard Benjamin's words, they all looked towards the door.
"Hello, everyone, I'm Owen..."
Owen said hello, and everyone responded in succession.
"Welcome, Mr. Owen, I am Joanna, Benjamin's mother."
A middle-aged woman with exquisite makeup came up to her and spoke to Owen with a smile. Owen immediately replied politely: "Hello, Ms. Joanna, it's an honor to come to your party."
Although Joanna is middle-aged, she is well-maintained. It can be seen that she must have been a beauty when she was young. Her behavior shows that she is well-educated. Owen remembers seeing Benjamin's information and who his mother seemed to be.
Company executives.
"You're welcome, Mr. Owen, you are good friends with my youngest son Benjamin, and you saved my husband Jonathan's life. Our whole family would like to thank you..."
"You're too kind."
Irving responded politely. At this time, Secretary of State and Benjamin's father, Jonathan Affleck, also came out of the living room with a smile on his face. Seeing Irving, he said warmly: "Welcome, Mr. Irving. Today is a private party. I will wait for a while."
Let me introduce a few friends to you..."
Owen readily agreed, and then Benjamin introduced Owen into the house and introduced his two brothers to Owen.
"Come and try this, I made it myself..."
Benjamin felt a little proud and handed Owen a cocktail. The cocktail looked good. Owen took it and took a sip. It tasted really good.
This small party was really a private party as the Secretary of State said. There were very few people, except for Jonathan's family.
The Secretary of State’s friends are not ordinary people.
After a while, someone came over again. This time, the person Irving knew was George Walker. He could be regarded as one of the Secretary of State's saviors, and Walker and Benjamin knew each other before. They used to be in the same circle.
And the relationship is pretty good.
"Hi, Owen..."
"Hey Walker, how's your wedding planning going?"
After the two greeted each other, Owen asked casually. This guy wanted to hold a wedding in the White House. Owen agreed on behalf of the president without authorization at that time. Later, he mentioned it to President Palmer and the president had already given permission.
"Forget it, forget it, I wanted to hold a different wedding in the White House to give Jennifer a special memory, but neither of our families agreed, and Jennifer was also shaken..."
"Why?"
Benjamin's girlfriend next to him asked curiously. His girlfriend's name was Paris. It seemed that she was the child of a wealthy family, a little princess, and a little ignorant of the world.
"Of course it's because of safety issues."
Before Walker could answer, Benjamin answered for him first. Seeing that Paris was still a little confused, he continued to explain: "Although all the terrorists at the scene of the White House crisis were wiped out, the White Mask behind the scenes was not caught.
The identities of Irving and Walker are kept secret, and their achievements are not publicized to avoid retaliation from the other party. If Walker holds a wedding in the White House, he will inevitably be unable to keep the secret, then they may attract white masks or those who
The revenge of the terrorists’ relatives and friends is not worth the gain~~~”
"Oh, no wonder the media has always claimed that they are government agents. Not only did they not reveal their names, they even didn't specify the department..."
Paris suddenly realized it, and Walker also said: "It's true that I thought too little. The media has been asking for inside information in the past two days. I thought it was a good thing. Now it seems that the White House's approach is right..."
He and Jennifer have a deep understanding of the power of terrorists, having encountered them many times.
"By the way, I heard that you guys knew each other before this?"
Benjamin's brother asked curiously. Irving and Walker looked at each other. Irving indicated that Walker would do the talking. Walker then told the story of his several encounters with Irving. He heard that every time they met, something bad must happen.
It happened, as if the two of them were possessed by a degenerate god. Several people opened their mouths in surprise, especially Paris. She suddenly thought of something: "According to what you said, then when you meet this time..."
When Paris said this, he suddenly covered his mouth. His cute look made everyone present laugh. No one would believe their fatalism. Even Irving and Walker didn't believe it now. Everyone just took it as a joke.
Just a joke.
The party continued. There were not many people in this small party, so the atmosphere was not very lively. Most of the time, everyone just chatted and got to know each other. The Secretary of State’s family expressed their gratitude to Irving and Walker one after another. Everyone who came was extraordinary.
People, so the issue of confidentiality is not that important. Everyone knows who Irving and Walker are, and many people even know some details in the White House. Others who don’t know have expressed strong interest, and Irving has not swept everyone away.
Xing, I picked up some of the things that could be said. As for the things that couldn't be said, everyone was very sensible and didn't ask any more questions.
In the middle of the party, current Secretary of State Jonathan Affleck led Irving through the venue and introduced several big shots to Irving. These people were from the military and political circles. It was obvious that Jonathan was interested in introducing his connections to
Owen, it can be regarded as a kind of repayment for Owen.
After leaving Benjamin's house, Irving returned to his little home in Washington. He took out the key and opened the door. There was a dim light from the bedroom. It seemed that Monica had fallen asleep. This woman had always maintained a good work and rest habit and lived a healthy life.
Its self-discipline.
Owen gently approached the bed and kissed the side of Monica's face. Monica moaned softly, and Owen couldn't help but wipe a handful of oil on her perfect figure before returning to the living room.
The connections introduced to him by the Secretary of State today are very important, but Irving has no use for the time being, and Irving has no value to them for the time being. The two parties just have a good relationship.
On the contrary, I gained a lot from Benjamin's group of young people. They were basically second-generation officials. Several of Benjamin's brothers also worked in various confidential departments. It was inevitable that they would have intersections at work in the future, just like he and Benjamin before.
It's the same as cooperation. If the partners know each other and have friendships, it will be much easier to do things.
Irving poured himself a glass of whiskey, added ice cubes, and sipped it slowly while closing his eyes and thinking. There were a lot of things going on today. How should the Omega team go in the future? White Mask must be the first target of investigation.
, but you know with your toes that with such a big cast, as long as White Mask's IQ is still normal, it will definitely be silenced and traced for a while.
Just as he was thinking about these things, he suddenly felt a soft body pressing against his back. Feeling the warmth behind his back, Owen put his arms around Monica's delicate body, turned around and kissed her deeply. In the night sky, the two people behind the window curtain
People entangled each other, and the lights immediately went out.
