"Lilina, have you made your decision? Seriously, do you want to stop thinking about it?" Minerva persuaded.
"Sister, I've already said that I'm fine, and I've been at home for two weeks. I can't continue like this." Lilina organized her study materials.
I've been missing classes for almost half a month, and it seems like I need to put some more effort into it.
"But...."
"Okay sister, don't worry about me, and I can't continue to trouble you. After all, you can't keep asking for leave from the school," Lilina said.
"I'm in a university, so it's different from yours."
"What's the difference?" Lilina thought for a moment and then said, "And Esther is with me, sister, don't worry."
Minerva visibly hesitated when she heard Lilina's words. Then she thought about it. Indeed, if Esther looked at Lilina, she would be relieved.
"Okay, now that Esther is with you, I can rest assured." Minerva nodded in agreement.
Seeing that Minerva agreed so decisively, Lilina suddenly became a little jealous. Minerva had obviously not agreed to it even after she had made so many promises before, but as soon as Esther moved out, the problem was no longer an issue.
What magic did Esther cast on you to make you trust him so much?
At this time, Esther's voice came from downstairs, "Breakfast is ready, come down and eat."
"Okay!" Minerva responded, "Let's go Lilina, we can't keep Esther waiting too long."
"I know...."
I went downstairs and saw the figure working skillfully in the kitchen.
Lilina thought: Aren't you a person who has been pressed in a coffin board for more than hundreds of years? Why are you so skilled in using a spatula!
How should I put it? Esther doesn't look like an ancient person at all. He obviously lived in the Middle Ages, but his behavior and movements are undoubtedly like those of modern people, and he is also proficient in various household appliances.
Minerva sat at the dining table, squinting her eyes and enjoying the food in front of her. "I didn't know that Est could cook before."
"When you're out alone, you have to learn to cook for yourself. I know a lot of Chinese food, but I'm just afraid that you won't be used to it, so I didn't cook it." Esther smiled.
"Why can't you get used to it? It's so delicious." Minerva said inarticulately, before she could swallow the bite of food in her mouth.
"Sister, eat what's in your mouth before you speak," Lilina said.
Minerva swallowed the food in one gulp and said to Esther: "By the way, Lilina is ready to go to school. I would like to ask you to stay here to take care of her. I don't know if it's inconvenient for you."
"Well, are you ready to go to school?"
In fact, Esther had known about Lilina's decision for a long time. Rather, it was actually because he spent a lot of time talking about it that Lilina could finally walk out of the house instead of being bored in her room all day long.
"Yeah." Lilina nodded and said nothing.
"Because I have classes at the school, I can no longer stay with Lilina. If I fail, my tutor will kill me." Minerva said fearfully, remembering her old temper.
The tutor was so bad that she almost looked like she was still in menopause. Minerva almost had the intention of living here for the rest of her life.
One can imagine how big the shadow in Minerva's heart was.
"I'm planning to settle down in the UK recently and find a more stable job. If I just take care of Lilina, it should be fine." Esther agreed naturally.
"That's great!"
"Of course I won't let you work for nothing." Minerva raised her nose slightly and winked at Esther.
"Oh, are there any rewards?" Esther smiled and looked at the other party with interest.
"Hmph, I'll tell you then."
...
"Director, why are you calling me out at this time? I'm going to take a good vacation."
Wells and the Fat Director were walking on the road. At this time, the Fat Director had a somewhat awkward smile on his face. He had clearly driven others away before, and now he had to come back to ask for help. If he and Wells's father weren't close friends,
He could barely be regarded as Wells's uncle, and he would certainly not be able to lose face.
"Ahem, Wells, don't remember what happened before. I called you out today to compensate you," the fat director said.
"Make it up to me?" Wells wondered. He couldn't take him for a walk in the business district. Two grown men had nothing to do and went shopping in the business district. It was a bit intrusive when he thought about it. He remembered that the fat director probably didn't.
What kind of special hobby is right?
"You'll know when you get there, but you have to seize the opportunity." The fat director smiled and gave Wells a pass.
This is one of the most prosperous commercial streets in the city, with a prime location near the seaside. Sitting in the Starbucks coffee shop here, you can enjoy the sea view outside the window while sipping coffee.
Wells usually has the habit of drinking afternoon tea, but today's afternoon tea was replaced by coffee. When he walked into the store, the fat director's eyes swept around the store. The store was not small and there were many people, but it was overwhelming.
With the fat director's eyesight, he quickly found Christina's figure in the crowd.
Of course, the reason why the fat director was able to find someone so quickly may be because the girl sitting by the window staring at the sea view outside the window is also a beautiful scenery.
"Good afternoon, Miss Christina, I shouldn't be late." The fat director brought Wells to Christina's side and greeted her.
"Good afternoon, of course not, I'm here early." When Christina saw the Fat Director and Wells, she put down the coffee in her hands and stood up. Her eyes fell on Wells and she said with a smile: "I think
You are what the director calls a capable person."
"Hello." Wells nodded, then looked at the fat director with doubts.
"This is Miss Christina, she is the person who handled the case sent by the General Administration." After the fat director finished speaking, he said to Christina: "Miss Christina, this is Wells. All those documents and materials were obtained by Wells.
He is very familiar with these materials."
"I see, I understand. Thank you Mr. Wells for taking the time to help me organize this information..." Christina's expression instantly became much more relaxed, but this relaxed expression did not last.
"I'm sorry, if it's the filing of documents for those cases, I'm sorry that I can't help you now."
"Hey, what are you talking about!" The fat director heard what Wells said from the side, his face changed instantly, and he cursed in a low voice.
"Why?" Christina frowned, and the smile on her face disappeared.
"Because I'm suspended now." Wells spread his hands and said helplessly.
"Suspension? What's going on?" Christina was confused, and then looked at the Fat Director. If you want to know why Wells was suspended, then the Fat Director knows best.
"Haha, well, Wells made a little mistake before, but it doesn't matter, I believe he has seriously reflected on it!" The fat director said the last few words very hard, and at the same time gave Wells a fierce look.
, and then said to Christina: "It's okay, it won't affect work."
"Well, then I would like to thank Mr. Wells and the director first." Christina couldn't see the weirdness in this, but she just didn't bother to care.
"I have a condition." Wells said again.
"Wells, don't push yourself too far. She may have a higher status than me. If she goes too far, it will do no good to you or me." Well, the fat director didn't say this, he conveyed the message with his eyes.
Wells understood, but he ignored it.
"What conditions do you want?" Christina showed an elegant smile on her face. She likes trading, because only a stable relationship of interest is the most reliable. She believes that this is similar to the equivalent exchange in alchemy, and she wants to
To get something, you must pay something.
"I want to help you solve the case as a branch officer." Simply put, Wells wanted to participate in this case.
Christina was stunned for a moment, and her smile bloomed like a flower, "No problem, I have no objection."
If an ordinary person wants to die, you can't stop him.
