However, Xia Ye didn't intend to agree immediately.
"Now that you've finished talking about your commission, how about I talk about mine?" She smiled at Luka.
Luka nodded seriously: "No problem."
Xia Ye put her hand into the pocket of her coat, took out a square piece of paper, and pushed it to Luka against the table.
"Look at this," she said.
Luka picked up the paper, opened it, and saw a logo drawn on the paper with a company name written on it.
The logo is the "M" shaped dark pattern found on the body bag on Xia Ye, and the company name is "Ming Shang Textile" that Victoria told her.
"I would like to ask you to help me investigate these two things." Xia Ye said, "First of all, the logo. I want to know its origin, a company? A person? An organization? Or something else. As for the one named 'Ming Shang Textile's company, I want to know its details, especially where it supplies. You can investigate by yourself, or you can entrust channels you are familiar with. In short, you can get what I want without exposing me. Just the answer.”
Both of these clues may be related to the whereabouts of his head, but Xia Ye is not prepared to investigate on his own. As for the reason, first of all, she was not familiar with Debsotta at all, and secondly, Grady's incident made her understand the fact that a girl like herself who was so beautiful that she stood out among witches, no matter where she went, It will attract the attention of the people around you wherever you go, so it is really not suitable for things like secret investigations that require a low profile.
As a debt collector, Luca must have dealt with all walks of life. If you want to investigate something, she is the best choice now.
Luka looked at the paper in his hand, thought for a moment, raised his head and said to Xia Ye: "I have neither seen this logo nor do I know about the company named 'Mingshang Textile', but I do have channels to investigate. But In exchange, I need you to join my team to handle the debt collection commission I just mentioned."
"No problem." Xia Ye replied, which was an exchange of conditions that she expected.
After saying that, she reminded: "But you haven't asked me yet how much compensation I can give you."
"I don't need reward." Luca said, "Yesterday you solved Grady, and I should have given you part of the reward for the task. Now the two just balance out."
"Oh, do you still remember that incident?" Xia Ye was a little surprised, "Actually, it was that idiot who provoked me first, and I had no choice but to defend myself. I never thought of helping you, so you don't have to worry about it all the time. Give me part of the mission reward."
But Luka still shook his head: "No matter what, in fact you just helped us, so this must be accounted for clearly."
"Okay~" Since the other party insisted, Xia Ye had no reason not to agree.
"When will you take action on that mission? Make sure you agree in advance. If I can't do it today, you can do it at other times."
Because she has promised Lillian to go shopping this afternoon.
"I'll write to you about the meeting and location early tomorrow morning," Luca said.
"good."
"..."
"..."
After Xia Ye said the word "good", there was no topic between the two of them, and they could only stare at each other with wide eyes and red eyes with black eyes.
But Xia Ye was not embarrassed either. She rarely felt embarrassed. Since she couldn't find a topic, she simply stopped talking and concentrated on admiring the girl sitting across the table.
To be honest, if I were to rate Luca's appearance, she would score pretty high.
2.5? 2.6? No, at least it can give 2.7. Between "super beautiful" and "super invincible beauty", but more inclined to "super invincible beauty".
To put it simply, Luka's appearance almost perfectly matched all the typical characteristics of a "calm, straight, black girl" in Xia Ye's mind.
In addition, she is tall, more than half a head taller than Xia Ye, who has a head, and her whole person has a sassy feeling that Xia Ye does not have.
Of course...if you only look at the face, it is still a little bit worse than me, but my appearance is originally the product of "ingenuity" (meaning I made it myself), so it would be a bit unfair to compare with me.
Xia Ye commented secretly in her heart.
But her outfit... although it is by no means ugly and even a little handsome, compared to her own appearance, it is really a negative optimization.
It's like putting a brand new 4090 graphics card in a 1080 box and selling it as a mining card.
Moreover, this is the third time he has seen her, and she is dressed exactly the same every time. Otherwise, she has not changed her clothes at all. Well, this should be impossible...or else her wardrobe is full of clothes. Exactly the same clothes.
If she were in Victoria's store now, Xia Ye could not wait to pounce on her right now, take off all her clothes, and then - ask Victoria to find a beautiful dress for her to wear...
"What are you looking at?"
Seeing Xia Ye's eyes lingering on her, Luka finally couldn't help it and asked.
"Looking at you." Xia Ye said unabashedly.
"Look at me?"
"Yes, you are quite beautiful, but your clothes are a bit off."
"Thank you, you are beautiful too."
"I just said these words yesterday, and they are no longer harmful to me. Can't you praise me in another way?"
Luca: "..."
"I said..." Xia Ye put her hands on the table as if she was bored, and rested her head on her arms, "Now that we're done talking about the business, can't we change places? I'm not familiar with this place, so why don't you take me with you? Going out for a walk?"
"No problem, where do you want to go?" Luka asked.
"Uh..." Xia Ye didn't know how to answer for a moment, because she never thought that this question could be asked back.
At this moment, an idea suddenly came to her. Without thinking about it, she asked:
"Where can I see pets? I want to see them."
Then--
For the first time since she met Luca, she saw an expression other than a serious expression on the other person's face.
The other party's eyes became a little strange at first, and then escalated to shock, and the fair cheeks were slightly red, but soon, the emotion in the black eyes gradually turned into acceptance, into understanding, and finally——
"No problem, it's not far from here. I'll take you there." Luka said solemnly, as if he was about to perform a difficult task.
"...Oh, okay, let's go then?" Xia Ye asked.
Luka nodded and stood up first. Xia Ye followed her and left the conference room.
So...what's going on?
The girl's big red eyes were full of doubts.
The reason why she just made this request was simple - because Lillian was hesitant to say it and unwilling to show her, so she had to find someone else to take her to see what a pet was.
Although Luka's reaction was a bit unexpected, since she agreed, I have achieved my goal. As for what a pet is, you will know after you go see it. Even if there is any problem, we will talk about it when the time comes.
Xia Ye thought optimistically.
