Chapter 228: New Work

As soon as it was time to leave work, Evan left the company.

Linda and Elizabeth have to continue working overtime because their immediate boss, Carl, has not left.

One of them was writing a manuscript on a typewriter, and the other was helping to fill in the gaps.

Linda is the latter.

The two used to work together seamlessly, but this time it didn't go well, and Linda would wander from time to time.

After coming out of Evan's office, Linda was like this, not knowing what to think, so distracted that she couldn't get into her work.

Could it be that Linda achieved her wish and what happened to the boss?

Elizabeth wanted to explore a thing or two, but because of the occasion and work, she could only temporarily press the heart of this gossip that was about to move.

The next day for the weekend.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Linda walked out of the bedroom on time and came to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Elizabeth is dressed as a cook and is frying eggs.

"Good morning, Liz (Elizabeth's nickname). ”

"Good morning, Linda. ”

After greeting each other, Linda pulled up the sandwich that had been cut into triangles on the kitchen table, and her nose twitched involuntarily.

"Hey, smell it, don't steal it like a child. ”

Elizabeth didn't look back, and habitually gave a warning.

Linda straightened up and snorted coldly, "Liz, I'm not a child. ”

Isn't it just that once because she was too hungry and Elizabeth made it too delicious, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand, and it was necessary to talk about it every day?

Elizabeth said, "It's good that you know." ”

"Here, get out of the way. "Elizabeth was going to transfer the fried eggs to a white porcelain plate.

Linda hurriedly retreated far away, for fear of bad things.

The kitchen was absolutely unfamiliar territory to her.

Linda watched as Elizabeth used cutlery from the East, two wooden sticks called chopsticks, to pick up the golden eggs from the pan.

One, two.

"Well, why are there only two?" asked Linda.

There are three of them, and it should be three eggs.

Elizabeth, while cleaning the pot, replied, "Gina had already gone out half an hour ago. ”

"What is she going to do when she goes out?" Linda asked, puzzled.

"What else can I do...... Elizabeth Mari washed the pot and put it back on the gas stove, "she's going to San Diego to sign new books." ”

"Oh!" Linda suddenly realized, "I remember, she said it the other day." ”

The second installment of the official series of "Plane Walker's Home" written by Virginia has been released, and it is loved by many card players, and the sales are not bad. However, in order to boost the enthusiasm of players to buy, and by the way, to enhance the fame of Virginia herself, the publisher arranged for her to attend as many book signing events as possible.

"Wait!" Linda helped Elizabeth bring breakfast to the dining room, and suddenly remembered halfway through, "Didn't she say she wouldn't go to San Diego?

"How do I know?"

"Go, get out of the way. Elizabeth nudged Linda on the back from behind, "There must be a reason for her to change her mind suddenly." You can guess for yourself. ”

A few steps to the dining room, Linda pulled out a chair, put the food on the table, sat down on her own ass, looking thoughtful, and Elizabeth turned back to the kitchen to get a drink.

After a while, a bottle of milk appeared in front of Linda, and Elizabeth sat across from her.

"I figured it out!" Linda said excitedly, "I guess the editor must have come back from New York." ”

"What are you doing, I'm surprised. Elizabeth was so startled that she almost choked on the milk as she was drinking it, and some of it spilled. She glared at Linda fiercely, and did not comment on Linda's conjecture,

"Don't talk about Gina. Elizabeth wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, looked at Linda and said, "Linda, tell me honestly, did something happen to you and Evan yesterday?"

Linda was stunned when she heard this, and then quickly denied it: "No!

Elizabeth narrowed her eyes: "Don't lie to me, if not, then why did you stay in a daze all night yesterday, completely out of shape." ”

"It's so close to ten o'clock that we're done. ”

"I'm sorry, Liz. Linda said sincerely: "I'm dragging you down." ”

"I was distracted yesterday, and it does have something to do with Evan......" Seeing Elizabeth smile like this, Linda waved her hand again and again and said, "But it's not what you think." ”

"I just talked to him about the company. ”

"Company?" Elizabeth shook her head, not believing Linda's claims, which she felt was an excuse.

Linda said, "If you don't believe it, forget it. ”

Linda picked up the sandwich and ate it quickly in small bites.

Why Linda was distracted, Elizabeth didn't hear Linda explain clearly this time, and when she asked about it again, it was already years later.

……

San Marino, Evan's new residence.

After breakfast, Evan went to the shade of the trees in the courtyard, half-lying on a chaise longue made of bamboo, with a stack of manuscripts in his hand, flipping through the pages one by one.

The manuscript is handwritten and smells of ink.

After a while, Audrey, who had finished cleaning up the kitchen, came to the yard with a basket of washed clothes, ready to dry the clothes. There is a clothes pole on the west side of the yard.

Hearing the movement, Evan looked away from the manuscript and watched quietly as Audrey threw off her clothes and strung them onto the hanger. At this time, Audrey was wearing a white shirt and a lace apron on the outside, and her hair was coiled high, although it was only her back, but Evan was reluctant to look away for a long time.

This is Evan's ideal companion.

It's the life Evan loves.

The two men didn't have much clothing, and Audrey quickly emptied the basket. After doing all this, Audrey wiped her forehead with her cuffs while looking up at the sky.

The weather was nice today, with clear skies and a light breeze.

The breeze was light, but the leaves were still rustling.

Audrey heard the sound and met Evan's gaze. When their eyes met, the two looked at each other and smiled.

Evan beckoned to Audrey.

Audrey, who had already finished her chores, put the basket under the porch and walked over to Evan.

"What are you looking at?" Audrey casually guessed when she saw the manuscript in Evan's hand, "Is it Virginia's new work?"

"The new work is indeed the new work......" Evan gave up half of his chair so that Audrey could sit next to him, "but this is not Virginia's author. ”

Audrey leaned her head in front of the manuscript and asked curiously, "It's not Virginia's, whose is it?"

"Do you want to read it? It's a science fiction book. Evan handed the manuscript directly to Audrey: "The author is Virginia's editor, Isaac Fields. ”

"Science fiction?" Audrey was not interested, but she still took the manuscript and looked at it from the beginning, "I'll see, it's 'Foundation'?"
