Lu Ling met those two people again when he checked out the next morning. Sophia greeted her politely, and without saying a few words, she pulled her suitcase and left early, and Nicholas did not accompany her. Lu Ling looked at Sophia's back, and then at Nicholas, did they quarrel?

"Sophie has a job and is back in Madrid. The Spaniard leaned into her ear and said, Lu Ling was startled by his warm breath, and the roots of his ears instantly turned red.

She quickly jumped to the side and said loudly, "Nicholas, you're too close!" After she finished speaking, she suddenly realized that this was the first time she had called his name in front of him. She had always referred to him as Mr. Flores or Boss. Actually, it's weird. It's just that she's used to it.

"Not close enough, far from enough. Nicholas said ambiguously, and his gaze was even hotter than before.

Lu Ling frowned and observed him, he didn't seem to be the same, he had basically never said this kind of □□ naked ** words before.

"Follow me to Nice. He said again in a commanding tone, and Lu Ling was about to refuse, but the Spaniard added as he walked out, "I'm going to see a player." The talent is good, and it's your loss if you don't go. ”

"Who?" Lu Ling hurriedly followed.

"You'll find out when you go. Nicholas saw her follow, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Also, call me Nick. He said closer.

Lu Ling's eyes widened and he looked over, what happened in just one night?

Nick, Nick. She shouted twice in her heart, a feeling of familiarity and strangeness, and a little strange. She tried to call out, "Nick, did you rent a car?"

Nicholas snorted in satisfaction. He never felt anything special about his name until it came out of her mouth.

They walked to the door of the hotel, and the doorman had already driven the rented car. The Spaniard put away the luggage for the assistant and opened the car door, acting like a gentleman. But when he closed the door and looked up, he saw a man across the street holding a camera pointed at them. Nicholas frowned, and the man had disappeared around the corner.

Lu Ling asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing. Someone is filming us. The Spaniard looked nonchalant and closed the door.

Lu Ling exhaled. Anyway, she didn't sleep with the boss, she was at ease.

The atmosphere at Chantilly's England training ground was very good. Last night's win over Russia made the goal of topping the group even clearer. Although Wales and Slovakia are still to play, England's players are confident that they are not strong opponents.

Patrick Amber has adapted well to the national team. In fact, he didn't have to adapt at all, everyone liked him. This young man is cool and doesn't talk much. Delicate technique at the feet, with speed, crosses, and good nose and hitting skills in front of goal. As touted by the media, he is England's future star.

Mr. Owl also grows to like Patrick. Initially, he was recruited somewhat because of media pressure. First-team coach Gary Neville has also been vocal about the Championship's best player, but Hodgson himself did not attend Amber's game and was skeptical of his ability. But in the past half a month, whether it is from the training, warm-up games, or from the table Xiàn who came off the bench last night, he does have the strength to play the national team.

The weather was nice and sunny with only a light breeze.

Patrick passed the ball to Ross Barkley and quickly dodged behind Chris Smalling, who understood and gave it back, and he got the ball again and got rid of two defenders to finish the shot.

This set of actions attracted praise from teammates. Patrick smiled and looked at the coach on the sidelines.

If only she were here. The boy thought.

The training session was open to the media for more than ten minutes. Sports media all over the world have invariably focused their cameras on beautiful blonde boys.

In fact, there are already a lot of media outlets that have begun to tout him today.

In a column reviewing the day's European Championship matches, France's authoritative newspaper Le Le Liga talked about the England substitute and looked forward to the young player's continued appearance in the upcoming tournaments.

The media in England were even more flattering, with major newspapers praising Patrick Amber's performance in addition to paying attention to England's excellent watch.

ESPN in the United States directly made a short film to introduce Patrick Amber, and the title was very sensational: "TheNextBeckham"

At lunchtime, Ross Barkley chatted with Patrick while swiping Twitter and Instagram on his phone.

Patrick has little interest in the food on the plate, but that's the way the athlete's food is, which is mainly high in protein and low in calories. He casually accommodated Rose's words, and took out his phone after chewing on the chicken breast.

[Are you still in Marseille?]

Rose looked at the boy's face and laughed for no reason.

Patrick put away his phone and looked over, "What?"

"They all call you the new Beckham, and I think you're a little more handsome than David. ”

"Oh, you're in love with me?" Patrick teased, expressionless.

"Come on. Rose looked disdainful, "But maybe there are girls in every corner of the world who are in love with you." ”

Patrick raised his eyebrows and stood up, "Rose, do you know Yu Zixiang?"

"......Who? You mean that left-back of your team?"

"Yes. ”

"What's wrong with him?" Rose's expression was still stern.

"You should see. Patrick dropped the words and walked out of the restaurant.

"Oh, please!" cried Ross Barkley. He felt innocent, he was clearly the representative of England's strong man and cool boy, but in Patrick's eyes, he seemed to be some kind of gossip boy.

Tina didn't reply until the evening. Patrick didn't know what she was up to, so he went to look at her Instagram page. I didn't think I would see anything at all. However, she actually updated?! Tina rarely updates social media, especially those related to life.

This is the first photo she posted on Instagram. It must have been shortly before he sent that message. A landscape photo, taken more casually. The caption reads: On the way to Nice, enjoy theholiday&somefooty!)

Oh, she's gone to Nice. The picture taken in the car doesn't look like a person.

He was thinking that a message from WhatsApp popped up.

【In a hotel in Nice. See a lot of news about you, ThenextBeckham?HmmIlikethat(Is the next Beckham?I like that?) )】

Patrick didn't reply, he put down his phone and walked out of the room. Because Ross Barkley and Harry Kane were calling him outside the door to go with him.

The match between Northern Ireland and Poland is quite interesting, and the scenery in Nice is no worse than in Marseille. The man Nicholas said to look at turned out to be Northern Ireland's John O'Connor, who plays at right-back and now plays for Dundee United in the Scottish Premiership. Lu Ling had never heard the name before, but Nicholas's scouting network had been following him for a long time.

QPR does need a capable right-back right now, and is still playing with James Page, who is over 30 years old, and sometimes James Barton also makes cameos.

After watching the game, they went to a prestigious French restaurant and chatted about football while enjoying their food.

Later, when the Spaniard sniffed the red wine, he said inexplicably, "I hope our real first date will not only talk about football." ”

Although inexplicable, his tone was serious.

The lights in the restaurant are ambiguous and romantic, and it is indeed easy to give the illusion that this is a date.

Lu Ling sat on the other side of the table, thinking about his words. At least at this stage, she doesn't see the possibility of them dating. It's really a bit of a shame that the man in between is so seductive.

She sighed softly in her heart and confessed, "Nick, you know, it's too hard. If I'm with you now, my coaching career before I started will be over. I can't imagine what the media and the players are going to think about it. ”

Nicholas smiled slightly, "I didn't say now. ”

Lu Ling then diverted the topic and talked about the player he went to see today.

"John O'Connor really amazed me. His speed and physique are not inferior to Zixiang, and although his technique is not so good, his defense is better. Are other clubs interested in him?"

Nicholas said: "Everton and Stoke City are watching him. But I've already told Rice to get in touch with his agent. Maybe it will be finalized in a few days. If the time drags on for too long, his value will go up. ”

Lu Ling took a bite of dessert, although it was the simplest cheesecake, this one still made a beautiful taste. Lips and teeth linger. After listening to the words of the Spaniard, she said to herself, she was really fast.

"How much is that?"

"Three million pounds. Nicholas is a bit complacent, and if he has a good eye, John O'Connor's value will rise to more than £15 million after the European Championship.

Back at the hotel, they went back to their rooms. The rooms of the two are next to each other. Before opening the door, Nicholas said in a warning tone, "Do not knock on my door at night, or I will not let you out." ”

Lu Ling looked at him in disbelief, "yesyouwish." (You dream)

The Spaniard laughed and entered his room. As soon as Lu Ling closed the door, he immediately heard the sound of the door closing again. She was a little surprised, so she opened the door again and took a look.

Nick actually dragged his suitcase out again, he was holding his phone, and his face was very strict.

Met the curious gaze cast by his assistant, he only glanced at it, and then looked away. The Spaniards paced back and forth, all attention on the phone. He was conversing in Spanish, and Lu Ling could only understand a little, and couldn't guess what was going on at all.

She retreated to her room, and was about to close the door when the man with the phone grabbed the door and shook his head at her.

Lu Ling let go, she took out her phone and looked at it, there was a message on WhatsApp, it was Pat, she replied to him, and looked at the Instagram page again, the photo she sent in the morning had a lot of likes. Zixiang replied at the bottom that they would also come to France in a few days. She smiled, and it was hilarious.

She looked up from her phone, and Nicholas's call was still not over. Whatever it was, it looked like he wasn't going to stay in Nice tonight.

Finally, the Spaniard hung up. He looked over, his eyes a little complicated, but soon he smiled again, "I'm sorry to leave you here alone tonight." I'm in a hurry to get back to London. ”

"The club's business?"

Nicholas smiled ambiguously and did not answer her question. Instead, he walked up to her and said gently, "Enjoy your vacation." Then he reached out and seemed to touch her face.

Lu Ling deflected, but didn't really dodge, his index finger swiped her lips again, a little rough, but it made her heart tremble.

His sexy and hoarse voice rang out, "I really want to kiss you, next time, if I do, don't refuse me." Good night, Christine. With that, he removed his fingers.

Closing the door, Lu Ling felt a little empty in his heart. She walked to the bed, suddenly not knowing what to do.

The phone in his hand vibrates, and the screen shows that it is Pat.
