never mind.
If you lose money, you can make it again. In life, comfort comes first.
"Gwen."
"ah!"
Locke waited until Oren, the real estate agent, left, then looked at Gwen who was standing there in confusion. After shouting, he looked at Gwen who had come to her senses and smiled: "Thank you, Gwen."
Gwen was slightly taken aback. A good family and a good education gave her the ability to quickly stabilize herself: "Thank you, I didn't help you much."
It is.
I also plan to help introduce an apartment to new students.
result……
This new friend just swiped his pen and bought a set.
Too arrogant.
Is this guy lying to me?
He's not an orphan at all, but a kid from a rich family.
Locke looked at the expression on Gwen's face and smiled: "This is the inheritance my parents left me. After buying this house, there isn't much left, but I have to start over."
"...I'm sorry, that's not what I meant."
"fine."
Locke smiled and said: "Actually, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have made up my mind so quickly. To express my gratitude, I'll treat you to a meal to express my gratitude."
"But I haven't done anything to help you."
"You have."
Locke said sincerely: "When I came to New York, you were the first friend I made. You let me know that New York is warm."
Gwen looked at Locke with a sincere face and opened her mouth, not knowing what to say at all.
She felt that if she rejected Locke, her new classmate would think that New York City was not only problematic but also cold.
so……
Gwen hesitated for a moment and looked at Locke: "Just eating?"
Locke nodded: "Yes, just to express my gratitude."
It's not just a date.
Gwen breathed a sigh of relief internally.
The place where Locke was treating guests to dinner was not far away. It was on Fifth Avenue. When he just took a taxi, Locke saw a restaurant with a nice decoration.
He doesn't care about food.
but……
Locke likes wine, especially bourbon. However, if you are under 21 years old, it is impossible to buy wine through formal channels, and restaurants, especially, will not sell wine to you.
Unless this restaurant wants to close down.
Although eating at five o'clock is a bit early, the restaurant opens at five o'clock, which means it is normal.
"Um."
Gwen, who was sitting opposite, bit into the egg tart in her hand and her eyes lit up: "This tastes very good."
Locke smiled and said: "Then next time we have a chance, come over together."
Gwen raised her head and looked at Locke with a smile on her face: "Classmate Locke, is this a date next time?"
Locke's eyes were clear: "Anything is fine!"
Gwen: "..."
What does it mean?
What kind of answer is this?
Exited the restaurant.
Gwen plans to go home.
only……
"Gwen?"
A police car flashed in front of them, and then it reversed directly. After the passenger window was about to come down, a man sitting in the passenger seat appeared in the sight of Locke and Gwen.
Locke raised an eyebrow.
Gwen was also slightly startled: "Dad?"
Chief George Stacey stepped out of the police car, his eyes moving between his daughter and Locke next to him.
Good guy.
Inadvertently, a wild boar appeared while he was napping?
Gwen also reacted quickly from her daze and introduced to her father: "Dad, this is Locke, our classmate who just transferred to school today."
Seeing this, Locke also extended his hand: "Hello."
George glanced at the right hand that Locke handed over, hesitated for a moment, shook hands, and squeezed out a smile: "Hello."
quite a while.
Gwen and Locke said goodbye, got into George's police car, and left Locke's sight.
Half an hour later.
Gwen's house.
"came back?"
As a full-time housewife, Helen looked at her husband and daughter who walked in before and after, smiled and said: "Go wash your hands and eat right away."
Gwen responded.
But George said directly: "Your daughter just came back from a big dinner."
Gwen turned to look at George and stamped her foot: "Dad!"
It was obviously explained on the way back.
Helen looked at her daughter's appearance and looked at George with some curiosity: "What's going on?"
George took off his uniform: "Ask your daughter."
Helen looked at Gwen: "Gwen?"
Gwen was a little speechless: "Mom, he is a new classmate. I accompanied him to find an apartment. Then, as a thank you, he treated me to a meal. It's that simple."
Helen nodded, not feeling anything strange.
George chuckled and said, "Ask again, where is the apartment that classmate is looking for?"
Gwen looked at George helplessly again, and then, meeting the eyes of her mother Helen, sighed: "Star Building."
Helen raised her eyebrows and looked at George.
The name of Star Building is famous in New York City.
"That classmate of yours..."
"Locke is an orphan."
"Um?"
Gwen sighed: "The money to buy the house is the inheritance left to him by Locke's parents. Again, this is not a date. I'm full and I'm going back to the room first."
Said.
Gwen walked directly towards the stairs on the second floor.
Helen looked at George.
George also shook his head. When they were in the car, Gwen did not tell the situation.
If this is the case, it can be explained.
Overthink it.
Helen and George looked at each other, and then Helen walked directly into the kitchen: "Your daughter is angry. You are responsible for putting out the fire you started."
obviously.
The daughter must have kept quiet because she didn’t want to expose her classmates’ privacy.
George opened his mouth and touched the back of his head: "Cocoa, where's the hot cocoa?"
My daughter got angry and if one cup of hot cocoa didn't solve the problem, then two.
George already has experience with this.
Star Building.
Locke retrieved the courier and returned to the apartment he had just purchased and moved into.
Hiss!
After unpacking, a suitcase appeared in sight.
Open!
Enter the eyes.
Two piles of "Continental Gold Coins" totaling one hundred were lying quietly among them.
There is also a notebook that is not available on the market at all.
After Locke took out his notebook, opened it, and then while waiting for the notebook to turn on, he stood up and walked towards the second floor of the apartment with the notebook.
In the study.
Locke locked the gold coins in the safe and then sat at the computer desk.
Not long after.
After the laptop was successfully connected to the Internet, a page popped up.
"Please verify your identity!"
"Wushuang!"
"Verification successful!"
After a mechanical voice came out, the page turned aside, and then, a piece of information was quickly refreshed and passed over.
Locke looked at the names and information on the display with an expressionless face.
Right hand.
A Colt M1911A1 pistol with a silencer is very conspicuous.
