Chapter 268: The Gap

Logan International Airport, VIP Access.

Phoebe pulled a suitcase out the door and walked to Barbara, who was already waiting in the parking area, and the three bodyguards who were in charge of accompanying her today.

After seeing Phoebe, he stretched out his arms and took a few steps and said, "Hey~ Phoebe, you look good." ”

Phoebe just thought that Barbara had been waiting for a long time and did a stretching exercise, so she just smiled at Barbara and diǎn her head, and continued to drag the suitcase towards the trunk of the car.

Barbara was not annoyed when she saw this, smiled, raised her hand to stop Phoebe and said, "On, R, we are sisters." ”

Phoebe was a little stunned by Barbara, she didn't understand what Barbara wanted to do, she just knew that Barbara should be in a good mood.

Seeing that Phoebe still didn't say anything, Barbara shook her head and smiled and hugged her, then put her hands on Phoebe's arms and said, "Okay, you'll get used to it, we are in the United States, and we grew up as sisters from a family." ”

Phoebe suddenly diǎn diǎn head, the so-called wise man must have a mistake, and Phoebe is the same, so diǎndiǎn head said: "Thank you, Barbara, I remember." ”

Barbara then nodded with satisfaction, but quickly shook her head again: "Besides, I think we are also good friends, I hope you didn't take the action just now as a mandatory requirement." ”

Phoebe slowly diǎn her head, then took the initiative to hug Barbara and whispered in her ear, "Okay, thank you, Barbara." ”

Barbara smiled and helped Phoebe put the suitcase in the trunk, and then the two got into the car, and the bodyguard car drove the road again and left the passage.

On the way, Phoebe greeted the three bodyguards and asked, "Looks like you're in a good mood?"

"Well, is that obvious?"

"Of course, do you want to share it?"

"Hehe, well, well, the protection mission for you has turned into a long-term mission, well, maybe we'll have to stay together in the future. Barbara winked at Phoebe.

Phoebe immediately understood that there must be some reason for Langley's company to think that she needed an agent who stayed directly by her side, but instead of asking this directly, she asked, "Oh?

"Of course. Barbara said, then frowned at Phoebe and said, "Hey, don't tell me that you don't think so." ”

"Well, I don't know what's so good about it for you, you're tied up with me, and you don't even have a chance to take a vacation. And for me, to be honest, I'm actually a loner. Phoebe shook her head.

"Hehe, well, you can tell from some of your habits that you are indeed a loner, but it is different for me. Barbara shook her head.

"What do you mean?"

"Well, I can't tell you about my previous mission, but I can tell you and I was there, with your clever little brain, you should understand why I'm happy, I spent four years in Ukraine, three years in Georgia, well, two years in Russia when I was in college, Chechnya ......" Barbara said in a calm voice as much as she could, but Phoebe felt fear, remorse, confusion, and other negative feelings.

Seeing that Barbara was no longer talking, Phoebe diǎn nodded and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Barbara didn't speak, but Phoebe noticed that Barbara's love was even more uncalm, although Barbara's breathing control was very good, but Phoebe knew that Barbara wanted to escape something, the most obvious thing was that Barbara's carotid artery was obviously thicker in Phoebe's eyes, seeing this, Phoebe said, "Well, I probably understand." It seems that your life before was not as interesting as it seemed, well, it seems that you have been having a hard time. ”

Barbara didn't speak, just smiled wryly and shook her head - Phoebe knew that native Indo-European speakers would have specific reactions to specific problems, and Barbara shook her head to mean that it was very, very hard.

Therefore, Phoebe mixed a smile in her voice: "Well, so, my mission can be considered the safest and most relaxing mission, so you think you are lucky?"

Barbara laughed, glanced at Phoebe and said, "You're really smart, yes, I like this task, especially since you're a good person, and people who hate you are because they don't know you." ”

"Thank you. ”

"Thank you too, you know, according to the agreement, I can completely walk into the light after this mission, the State Department and the Foreign Affairs Committee fully recognize my previous experience in the field of diplomacy, the longer I do this business, the more timid I will be, only a few people can do it for a lifetime, I can't. As she spoke, Barbara didn't forget that Jì was driving, and the car stopped at a red light.

Phoebe looked at Barbara's diǎndiǎn head and did not speak, Barbara also looked at Phoebe and smiled, "You gave me a chance to avoid performing the task that scares me the most, thank you Phoebe." ”

Phoebe smiled and diǎn her head again.

Barbara glanced at the traffic light, which was still red, then turned to Phoebe and said, "So, I have decided, I will not let you out of my sight next weekend, your safety is the top priority, I don't want you to run into any crazy fan who will cause you even a diǎndiǎn harm." ”

Phoebe smiled and said, "So what excuse do you use to accompany me to South Korea? Moreover, no one is watching the house here, can you rest assured? And you know that I don't like people to take care of me." ”

Barbara Diǎn Diǎn head said: "I have to stay with you for the next few years, I have to find a reasonable reason, so it's an honor, I became a music agent for Universal Music, I know that you acquired a part of the shares of the company, and the board of directors has put Universal Music in touch with the management, and wants Universal Music to represent your music contracts and part of the promotion work, you know, I have a lot of contacts in Hollywood, because there are a lot of beautiful Ukrainian women." ”

Phoebe slowly diǎn head, at this time the green light turned on, and the car started to start again under Barbara's control, Barbara did not speak, as if to give Phoebe time to digest her words, and Phoebe asked after a while: "What do you mean that there are many beautiful women in Ukraine?"

"What?" Barbara wondered.

"You're talking about Hollywood, you're talking about Ukrainian beauty, you're involved in human trafficking?" Phoebe asked.

Barbara suddenly said dissatisfied: "God, what are you talking about! Not at all, you know, the entire European film market has almost been captured by Hollywood, and the beauties of Ukraine also want to be the best movie actors, so they are very interested in the US Embassy, because I am a woman, they don't make all kinds of demands like men, so many people I have helped think I am a good person, that's it, although they may not be able to survive in Hollywood after arriving in the United States, but at least I don't have other requirements like others, so my connections in Hollywood are actually very good. ”

Fei Bi diǎndiǎn head said: "Understood, so you didn't have to put much effort into Universal Music, right?"

Barbara smiled: "Smart little guy, that's right, even in the United States, in fact, you need connections, this is not a dream country." ”

Phoebe nodded again: "But you just said that when you were in the embassy in Ukraine, you had other tasks, so when you helped those people, you didn't ask for it, but you were actually using it to establish your reputation, right?"

Barbara looked at Phoebe in amazement, and Phoebe smiled and pushed her face to make her pay attention to the front, and Barbara said with some trepidation: "God, you're oversmart Phoebe, you know!?

Phoebe said: "It is not difficult for anyone to know your identity in advance and think about it calmly. ”

Barbara breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't say these things casually in the future, let's not talk about this." ”

"Well, I know, but it's a little secret for our sisters, right? I know that all sisters have their own little secrets with each other, which makes them closer. ”

Barbara smiled helplessly: "Phoebe, do you know, in fact, I thought you were the inquisitor in the bureau just now. ”

"I'm sorry to scare you, but it also makes you know me better, doesn't it?" Phoebe added.

"Well, yes, it seems that it is really not easy to hide anything from you. Barbara said noncommittally.

"Given that we're going to be staying together for a long time in the future, I'll have to say it up front, it's taboo. ”

Barbara glanced at Phoebe, then ahead and asked, "What's that?"

"Lies loosen strong ties, and lies that are discovered can break those ties, and you know I'm very good at analysis, so if there's something you can't hide from me, it's best to be honest with me in the first place. You know, the face recognition barrier makes me unable to remember faces, anyone I see is a stranger, I can only distinguish by guò name and the identifier I gave, who will be good to me, who will be bad to me, so once I am discredited, it will be difficult to party the credibility of the name of this person's representative and the identifier, I also think you are very good, so I don't want any misunderstanding between us when you don't know these things. ”

After Barbara listened, she slowly diǎn diǎn head, she actually didn't notice, in fact, Phoebe's words are logically problematic, and to be precise, if no one reminds her, she will never find this logical problem in her life, Phoebe's words are translated by Barbara's brain, what she understands is: don't lie to Phoebe, otherwise life will be sad.

So Barbara asked a little depressedly, "But you also know that I have some secrets that I can't tell you." ”

Phoebe smiled and said: "Of course, I won't be stupid enough to ask you sensitive questions and confidential questions, don't worry, we can set up a security gate between us, if you think that the mission needs to be kept secret from me, you can directly tell me that I have a secret, but you can't say it's okay, it's not your fault." ”

Barbara diǎn diǎn head to show understanding, and then said, "So, what kind of situation is lying to you?"

"Well, for example, I asked you if you had been injured, and you said you didn't, but I found out from the weak incoordination of your limbs that you had been injured, and the treatment was not timely, or the treatment conditions were not enough at that time, so your injuries had sequelae, and this sequelae affected the accuracy of my comprehensive health assessment. ”

"Uh...... Oh my God, you can see that, too?"

"Of course, I also have a lot of medical knowledge, and I can even perform open heart surgery in case of emergency, but of course, I am not prepared to get a doctor's license for this. ”

"Well, well, that's kind of me lying. Barbara said a little sneeringly, she knew that Phoebe should not ask why she was injured, after all, asking again would involve something that could not be said.

"Well, since we didn't need to build long-term trust before, I didn't ask, since you are so cooperative this time, then I will be responsible for curing your sequelae. ”

"Can you really heal?" Barbara was surprised, "Seriously, although the injury on my right arm is no longer visible after the scar has been removed, it is really uncomfortable when it is cold." ”

"Of course, in as little as a month, you can get rid of the medicine in the bathroom. Phoebe smiled.

"Well, Phoebe, why are you so sure?" Barbara was a little incredulous, after all, Phoebe was only seventeen years old now.

"Remember, ordinary people can't understand genius. I think you should also know this diǎn, I found your name in the Harvard Math 55 course records. ”

"Uh, when, when did you find out, this information should have been erased. Barbara was surprised.

"Of course it was erased, but it was all a direct record, but surely you would not have guessed that your admirer at the time recorded your picture in his paper, right?"

"Damn...... Who is such a bastard?! I remember that none of my classmates who took these classes would do that. Barbara gave Phoebe a disgruntled look, as if Phoebe was the one recording her.

"Don't worry, it's a student at Harvard Humanities, and this paper is the one he came to sit in. ”

"Wait, don't you remember faces, how do you know it's me when you see the picture!?" Barbara was surprised again.

"I can't really remember when I see a real person directly, but the photos are still fine. Phoebe said again.

"Well, I thought the face recognition barrier was that you couldn't remember any kind of face you saw. ”

"Well, I think it's weird too, but I can remember faces in still images, but not as long as it's dynamic, not when it's a real person, and I don't know why. Phoebe shook her head.

"Okay, don't dwell on this, anyway, you're used to it now, how about we go to the supermarket to sell diǎn things first, I'll cook today, since you know that I've been to Russia, let you often learn the dishes I learned there, you know, few people have tasted the dishes I cooked." Barbara didn't know what was wrong, but suddenly her interest increased.

Phoebe knew why Barbara was happy, so she said, "Barbara, don't tell anyone about it, promise me." ”

Barbara was stunned for a moment, her mind was full of emotion, and she sighed and said, "Well, I won't tell anyone, and I won't write it down, it's our secret, I promise." ”

Phoebe smiled and said, "Well, thank you, look, being a sister is to protect the little sister, isn't it?"

"Well, I see, you're taking revenge on me for lecturing you at the airport, right?" Barbara laughed.

"Well, as an apology, I'm still ready for tonight's meal, do you want to eat the Russian national flavor? or the Russian flavor that suits the American taste?"

Barbara said incredulously: "You can also cook Russian food?"

"Of course, you know that I worked as a chef in Tagulos, and although it was a French restaurant, I occasionally served the Russian embassy. ”

Barbara rolled her eyes and drove the car into the underground parking lot of a large supermarket, she vaguely understood that Phoebe mentioned math 55 just now, I'm afraid Phoebe learned this course is easy and easy, and she was busy for nearly two years before graduating from this course, the students who graduated from this discipline understand that the gap in IQ is definitely not something that ordinary people can imagine, the only difference is how big the gap is......
