Chapter 80: Entanglement
October 11, morning.
As temperatures dropped, the whole of Los Angeles was shrouded in gray smog.
Evan, who wanted to go out for a run before breakfast, could only shake his head and give up, and did a set of radio gymnastics in the living room as a workout.
Audrey saw him doing strange movements in the living room, jumping and jumping, and thought it was funny, so she ran to learn from him. For this reason, breakfast was also made a little late.
When the two of them were exercising together, the RCA radio in the living room played the news as the background sound.
"KECA Morning News: Let's talk about Charles Lyon, who was involved in the bribery scandal a few days ago, and yesterday the Ministry of Justice officially responded to reporters that there are indeed related cases involving Mr. Speaker. It is reported that as soon as the news came out, Mr. Lyon, who was in the middle of an election campaign, was protested by his (former) supporters who were angry with his (former) supporters. Regarding the scandal, Leon insisted that he was innocent and that all the accusations were false......"
After breakfast, the clothes in the washing machine were also washed, and Audrey took them out and put them in the dryer next to them.
The washing machine is Bendix brand and front-loading drum type. The dryer is a Brooks Stevens product with a glass window that allows you to see the clothes rolling inside.
Washing machines are very popular in the United States, and more than 60 percent of households own them.
The clothes were quickly dried, and Audrey folded them in separate categories.
During this period, Evan sorted out the information of the "rice cooker" in the "Evan Second Laboratory".
Carl is helping him recruit someone and is sure to find someone to take over soon. In the metropolis of Los Angeles, it's much easier to recruit than in Sacramento.
It was almost nine o'clock when Audrey came to the laboratory after cleaning up the housework and taking care of herself.
"Evan, don't you go to school?"
Evan threw a circuit board into an aluminum cylinder, clapped his hands, and said, "Let's go!"
A few minutes later, Evan and Audrey, who had changed their clothes, held hands and walked out the door.
By this time the fog had lifted, but the sky was still gray, and there was not a trace of blue in sight.
Evan pulled the car to the side of the road, Audrey pulled the open door, and just as they were about to get in the car, a taxi pulled up behind them.
Virginia stepped out of the car.
Audrey saw Virginia and beckoned to her while looking surprised.
"Evan, Virginia is here!"
Virginia walked briskly.
"Audrey, Evan!"
"You're going out?" said Virginia, who was glad she was going to be out of the air if she was too late.
Audrey nodded.
Evan poked his head out of the car window and asked, "Virginia, on the big weekend, you don't work at the bookstore to earn living expenses, what are you doing with me?"
"Can't you come here if you're fine?" Virginia choked Evan, "I can't come to play with Audrey!"
"Audrey, where are you going?"
Audrey smiled and replied, "Go to Evan School." ”
"Is there an event at school?" Virginia reached for the door handle and said, "No matter, Evan, I'll go too." ”
"Huh!?" Evan didn't have time to say no, and Virginia had already pulled Audrey into the back seat.
After putting on the seat belt, Virginia saw that Evan was not moving, so she urged: "Hurry up, don't be stunned!"
Evan opened his mouth, glanced at Virginia and Audrey with a smile speechlessly, and reluctantly started the car.
Audrey, don't be untrustworthy.
Evan was driving as he peeked in the rearview mirror.
On the way, Audrey took Virginia's arm and asked her if there was anything new in her recent part-time life.
Virginia came out to work part-time, the so-called earning living expenses is just an excuse, her real purpose is to come out to experience life and accumulate materials for writing.
Virginia frowned when she heard this, and said with a bitter face in front of Audrey: "I guess I can't do my job in the bookstore......
"Why?"
"There are annoying guys who come to talk to each other every night, like flies, and they can't get rid of them......"
Audrey asked, "Is it a suitor from the same school?" and how does it look......
"It's not just the school's ......" Virginia shook her head, and in the middle of speaking, she glared at Audrey, "How do you care about people's looks......"
"Some of them seem to be already working, otherwise they wouldn't just be there at night. ”
"It just so happens that I spend most of my time in the evenings, except on weekends. ”
"That's why I didn't go to work today, because I didn't want to see those people, and I came to see Evan......"
Speaking of which, Virginia glanced at her brother in the driver's seat.
Seeing this, Audrey reached out and patted Evan on the shoulder, saying, "Speak quickly, I know you're listening!"
Evan slowed down a bit before responding, "Virginia, that's what you're here for me?"
Virginia blinked and said, "That's right!"
"What do you want me to do, find a gang of people to beat up your suitors and warn them not to approach you again?"
Virginia shook her head: "It's not good, is there any other way?"
"Applying to the court for an injunction seems to be too difficult to find evidence, and it is too troublesome. Otherwise, you'd better quit your job!"
"It's not always that easy for them to find you at school, is it?"
Virginia thought for a moment and asked unwillingly, "Can it not affect the work?"
Evan thought for a while and said, "If you have to insist, I can only find you a few personal bodyguards and follow you every day!"
Speaking of bodyguards, this is a wake-up call for Evan that with his current situation, it's time to build a security team. Not only can I use it for myself and my family, but I also need many secrets of the company.
Half an hour later, the three Evan arrived on campus.
This time, the route of the three of them was different from the last time, and the last time was mainly to let Evan recognize the way and the building, so he walked in many places, but the time spent in each place was not long. This time it was just to make an appearance at the school (mainly Hovses) to prove Evan's innocence, so the three of them walked slowly, and only walked a few famous places before reaching Hovses for lunch.
Evan and Audrey were just hanging out, and Virginia was naturally suspicious, so Evan couldn't keep the secret about the "comrade" after all.
When Virginia first heard this, her brows furrowed, and when she heard that the culprit Leon was admitted to the hospital because of this, she spitted and said, "Cheap him!"
Then Virginia said to Evan with a look of sudden realization: "No wonder Nina behaved so strangely that day!"
The more Virginia thought about it, the more angry she became, and twisted Evan on his arm: "If you don't tell me something, you should not be your sister!"
Evan had to endure it, begging for mercy frequently.
