Jessica said in surprise when she saw Albert sitting in the classroom.
Albert smiled and said: "There was something going on at home recently, so I went back to help. Now that the matter has been resolved, I came here." As for what happened at home, Albert didn't say anything.
It was impossible for Jessica to ask about other people's personal affairs, so she could only say "Oh" casually.
"Okay, anyway, you are not the only one who has skipped classes recently." Jessica said.
"I don't think I skipped school. I asked for leave properly." Albert explained, and then said: "By the way, who skipped school?"
"Yeah." Jessica pouted and gestured to Albert towards the vacant seat next to her: "Isn't that true? It's really arrogant to drop out of school within a few days of transferring to another school."
At this time, Lilina was sitting aside and heard Jessica's words and said, "Jessica, don't talk about others like that. Maybe something happened in his family."
"Okay, okay, it's okay if I don't say it."
Albert glanced at the empty seat of Joel and didn't think much about it. He didn't really care about the boy who had just transferred to school. However, his father seemed to be an expert in the police station in this area, and he also had some goods in his batch.
The other party asked for help. He had asked him to look up a woman named Christina before, but I don’t know what happened next.
But these had nothing to do with him, so they were forgotten by him.
"By the way, Lilina, there's something I want to ask you for help with," Albert said.
If you care about others now, it is better to deal with the problem at hand first.
"Huh? What's the matter?" Lilina asked doubtfully.
Albert said: "That's right, I'm going to entertain a guest from China tonight at home. My father hopes to cook a Chinese meal tonight. I wonder if the gentleman who takes care of you is free tonight."
Lilina said with some surprise: "Do you want Esther to cook a Chinese meal for you tonight?"
"Yes." Albert nodded, and then said: "Of course, it is not free, I will pay you."
For Lilina, remuneration is secondary. She is not short of money now. The key is Esther's condition. Can she trust him to cook without burning down the house in the end?
"I'm not very clear about his time schedule. I need to go back and ask him." Lilina couldn't refuse. After all, Albert was usually friendly to her and Jessica. If she refused directly, it would be okay.
It's so inhumane.
Albert smiled, "It's okay."
"If possible, I would like to meet him after school today. I think a personal invitation would better show my sincerity," Albert said.
"Okay." Regarding this point, Lilina didn't care. Let Esther talk to him when the time comes, which would save her trouble.
On the side, Jessica, who was watching the conversation between the two, had a strange expression. She looked at Albert secretly, wondering what the other party was up to.
Wait, could it be said that Albert wanted to...
"I'll give you one million, and leave Lilina's house now." Albert threw a large amount of money in Esther's face and said arrogantly.
"Okay, I'll leave right away." Esther picked up the large amount of money and left without dignity.
Then Albert, who had eliminated a big threat, looked up to the sky and laughed.
...so.
The above are all fantasies that just flashed through Jessica's mind.
God! Albert is so insidious! No, Lilina cannot be allowed to bring such a man home with her!
"I want to go too!" Jessica said resolutely after thinking about a bunch of impossible things in her mind.
"Eh? Jessica, do you also want Esther to help you cook?" Lilina looked at her best friend in surprise.
Although she didn’t know why Lilina understood it this way, she, Jessica, had no other excuses, “That’s right! Ever since I ate the food cooked by Esther last time, I can’t forget it and want to try it again!”
Albert smiled reluctantly and said: "Jessica, if you want to eat, you can go to the Chinese restaurant where Esther works. I don't think he will refuse."
"I don't!" Jessica said willfully, and glared at Albert hard, making Albert look confused.
Albert thought to himself, did I just say something to make her angry?
For a moment, Lilina felt threatened by her best friend. Could it be that Jessica didn't actually want to eat the food cooked by Ested, but wanted to meet Esider?!
This girl, maybe she has a crush on my Esther, right?
"Well, okay, then you can come with us after school." Lilina had no choice but to agree with her best friend.
Seeing that Lilina agreed, Jessica immediately looked at Albert with a face full of satisfaction.
Albert looked confused. Did I offend her somewhere recently?
After school, the three of them came to Lilina's house and met Esther.
"Want me to cook dinner for your family? I'm not a special chef. I think you should have a better candidate."
It is not uncommon for chefs to prepare dinner for others. In fact, some special chefs will also accept such commissions. Of course, the premise is that they are very capable. Although he is good at Chinese cuisine, Esther obviously does not
I think I can compare with those super chefs.
"Mr. Esther, don't worry too much, just make some home-cooked dishes. I just want the Chinese guest to feel the taste of hometown in the UK." Albert said politely.
"That's it."
Seeing that the other party was so determined, and for the sake of being Lilina's friend, Esther did not refuse.
"Okay, okay."
"Really, that's great!" Albert said, "Please wait a moment, I'll have someone pick us up."
"Wait a minute! I don't agree with this marriage." Suddenly, Jessica stood up and stopped her. As if she realized that she had said the wrong thing, Jessica quickly changed her words: "Ahem, I mean I don't agree with Ace.
Virtue goes."
"Jessica, although I don't know if there's anything that makes you unhappy, Mr. Esther is very important to me." Albert said helplessly.
Seeing Albert's serious look, Jessica didn't know what to say. If the other party really had something to do, wouldn't she have delayed him?
But now that the words have been spoken, I can only bite the bullet and go on.
"Actually, I also hope that Esde can make me a dinner."
Esther was stunned. How could he not know that he had suddenly become so popular? Could it be that he really had the talent to be a cook?
"Well, Jessica, Albert's matter is obviously more important, why don't you come to my house for dinner another day." Lilina persuaded.
Jessica looked at Lilina with a look of hatred, "Your man is about to be snatched away, and you are still talking for others. However, Lilina is right, now it is obvious that it is Albert's."
The matter was more important, and she couldn't find any good reason. Instead, she seemed to be fooling around.
She had no choice but to sit down again obediently.
"Thank you." Albert said to Lilina, and then made a phone call to have someone pick them up.
