117. Declare war on your rival

Ancia didn't know why her boss wanted the address of Miss Alicia Hart, she had a bold idea, whether Mycroft was going to declare war on her "rival in love", but the idea was so terrifying that Anthea just thought about it.

She quickly sent the location of Alicia Hart to Mycroft, because Ancia knew that if she slowed down, McCroft would be guilty of talking to her later.

Mycroft looked at the address and mobile phone number sent to his mobile phone and smiled slightly, he thought carefully about the scene, whether Miss Alicia Hart liked Lestrade or not was still uncertain, but McCroft guessed that the beautiful young lady probably knew that he was not leaving.

In fact, Alicia is a person who is very suitable for the other half of Lestrade, the nature of her work, and her personality, make her stand out among all the women, and if it were not for the fact that McCroft discovered his feelings, then he would still approve of Lestrade being with this Miss Alicia Hart.

So Mycroft prepared to pay a personal visit to Miss Alicia.

Miss Alicia Hart was a smart man, and whether she was doing it for him or because of her emotions, Mycroft didn't want the young lady, named Amy, to know about his feelings for Lestrade, and what the two of them weren't really suited for.

He checked Miss Alicia's travel records for the last year, and found that although she was a painter and worked very freely, she was too fond of traveling, and only spent about three months a year in England.

This is something that McCroft hadn't taken into account before.

It is impossible for a man who loves freedom to trap her in one place for a long time, so Mycroft found a reason why they were not suitable for not delaying each other.

That night, Mycroft visited Alicia Hart's apartment, and after he pressed the door of the apartment, he heard Amy's voice coming from inside, "Hello, Miss Amy, I'm Mycroft Holmes. ”

Amy was puzzled, but she opened the door of her house and welcomed McCroft in.

Mycroft smiled and handed the gift in his hand to Amy, Amy was a little frightened when she took it, no matter how smart a girl is, she likes to think about it, so when Amy received the small gift from McCroft, she thought to herself if the three-piece Mr. McCroft Holmes in front of her liked her?

But it turns out that Amy is overthinking.

"It's your favorite sweet, Miss Amy."

Amy twitched the corners of her mouth and said, "You've flattered me, Mr. Holmes. ”

Amy asked Mycroft to sit down, and he was not polite After changing into disposable slippers, Mycroft entered this messy/messy small living room, because she was a painter, Amy's room was messy/messy, all the works hung on the walls were all kinds of works, and there were also easels piled up in the living room.

Amy followed Mycroft's gaze and saw a new painting she had just begun to compose, with two men standing side by side, and a few scribbled strokes around her could tell that the scene Amy wanted to paint was a park.

She walked up to McCroft, a little shy, after all, she had secretly used them as models without their permission. Amy laughed awkwardly twice and said, "Is there something about Mr. Holmes coming to me?" ”

Mycroft raised an eyebrow, maybe it wasn't what he thought it was.

Of course, the two people in the sketch are clear, first of all, the two men, and secondly, the painter likes to paint real people and scenes, because the few strokes in the back can be seen that the framing is from the park, so the only possibility is him and Lestrade.

Alicia Hart didn't paint herself with Lestrade or alone, which means she doesn't have that many special feelings about Lestrade.

When it came time to formally state his thoughts, Mycroft decided to test it.

"I'm here to apologize, I'm sorry I didn't leave while you were dating Greg."

Although Amy had more sensitive senses than others, she was a little confused about the meaning of Mycroft's words, so she could only follow Mycroft's words.

"I know Mr. Holmes is worried about Mr. Long/Legs."

Mycroft smiled, so the man really knew that she wasn't leaving, which means that she stepped forward to kiss Lestrade and most likely was doing it to him, people say that women are more sensitive creatures, and since Sherlock can find out about the ambiguity between him and Lestrade, then the clever Alicia Hart should also find out.

"Miss Amy loves to travel, doesn't she?"

Amy blinked, and her heart said how did men see it?

Of course, Mycroft knew what she had in mind, so he smiled and said: "There are a lot of knick-knacks in your room, among which there are Chinese knots unique to China, judging from the color, because the red color has faded a little under the sun for a long time, but there is no dust on it, which means that you like it very much, and you bought it back about two years ago." The tea set on the table is very Japanese, and the green tea inside tastes like it comes from an Asian country. The small model of the Leaning Tower of Pisa shows that you have been to Italy, and there is a picture of you on the top of the refrigerator, and the scene in the back is the Louvre, and you deliberately wrote the date with a black pen, and the magnets on the refrigerator are from all over the world, so you are a very traveler, I am not wrong. ”

"......" Alicia Hart wanted to exclaim to God, the man had observed so closely, those things were indeed small souvenirs she had brought back from her travels, and each one of them was something she loved.

"I'm sorry if I offend your **, but traveling is a lot of fun, and I appreciate Miss Amy's way of life."

Mycroft was digging a trap, but Amy didn't notice it.

"That's what I think, travel is really a super fun thing, the world is big and I want to go and walk, that's my concept."

Mycroft smiled.

"By the way, I wonder if you still feel a little bit about Greg?"

Amy's body was shocked when she heard the name Greg, she always felt that something was wrong but couldn't say it, from Mycroft's expression, Amy couldn't notice if the man was awakened, he looked very elegant and didn't look like he had noticed that he had someone he liked. So Amy nodded and said, "Mr. Long/Legs is very interesting, I still like him." ”

"I would like to ask Miss Amy a question, would you be willing to give up your free life for your lover?"

Mycroft crossed his hands in front of his stomach as he stared at Amy trying to see what she was really thinking, and Amy was stunned by the question, but also lost in thought. She probably knew what Mycroft Holmes was going to do, and it was nothing more than a question of whether love or freedom wanted whichever she wanted.

In fact, Amy has never thought it through, so she has always been single, because she likes to travel and freedom, but she wants a love.

"I ......"

"Miss Amy, I know you went out to kiss dear Greg on purpose, and I'm so grateful for being able to awaken my feelings for Lestrade." Mycroft stood up and bowed slightly, he was really grateful to Amy, if it weren't for Amy's kiss, maybe he wouldn't know his feelings for Lestrade for the rest of his life.

Amy hurriedly waved her hand, she was actually just a whim, and she really couldn't mention any thanks.

"I don't think Lestrade is a good fit for your significant other, and if you get further involved and get married, it will be the two of you who will be hurt in the end." This sentence is actually not wrong, it is difficult for a person to change his personality, you can change for love, but how long can such a change last?

A year, two years or ten years? Who can say clearly.

If it is ten years, will they divorce again in ten years because of various problems, so McCroft hopes that Amy can still think carefully about this issue, whether she really has feelings for Lestrade.

Amy watched Mycroft bite her lip tightly, even if she knew that Mycroft had different feelings about Lestrade, even if she knew that the two of them looked like a couple, but Amy still had a little fantasy, and now Mycroft completely broke her little fantasy.

"I don't mean to get involved, Mr. Long/Legs is not for me, I also understand, the main thing is that probably no woman is ready to be the mother of eight strange children."

Amy actually flinched when she heard that Relestrade had eight children in the family, and now she said her withdrawal, she only had a small fantasy about the future after a successful blind date with Reistrade, but it was just a fantasy.

"Miss Amy, with all due respect, you may be able to find a cheerful but attentive man or woman to be your partner, and you may be able to develop a hobby of traveling."

Mycroft showed Amy a way, because Amy's cheerful personality can be regarded as a big grin, so a person like her needs a careful other half to take care of her, and given her love of traveling, the choice of the other half can also be considered.

After learning what Amy really thought, Mycroft got up and took his leave, "I sincerely wish you, beautiful Miss Amy, that you can find a suitable other half as much as possible." ”

Amy wringed her fingers into her clothes, and she seemed to have something to say, but when she was about to turn away, she opened her mouth to stop Mycroft, and she said, "Mr. Holmes, I also wish you the best of you to pursue Mr. Lestrade, and if that painting is finished, can I give it to you as a gift?" ”

"That would be my pleasure."

Mycroft bowed slightly to Miss Acelia Hart, and once again expressed his gratitude, for without this man he would not know when he would have been able to recognize his feelings for Lestrade,

After coming out of Amy's apartment, Mycroft saw her own little black car waiting in front of the door, and Anthea stood aside wearing a light shawl and holding a mobile phone in her hand, and when she saw Mycroft, she stood up straight and greeted her.

Mycroft glanced at Anthea, don't think that he forgot what Ancia did, she probably saw her feelings for Lestrade a long time ago, and she had just been watching the play.

Seriously, if Ancia wasn't smart, Mycroft wouldn't have chosen her as his secretary, and even a lot of confidential documents passed through her hands.

Ancia lowered her head and followed Mycroft's side, trying to reduce her sense of save, but unfortunately, Mycroft stopped in her tracks.

"I don't know if Anthea is still happy watching this scene?"

What play?

Of course, it was Mycroft himself who continued to sell stupid jokes, and now that he could not bear to look at his own authorities, Mycroft himself could not bear to look at it, and he was sure that he must have entertained the public, and this public specifically referred to Anthea, Sherlock, and possibly the extremely clever bear children of the Lestrades.

Anyway, it's all "dead", so Anxia generously admitted that she watched the play, "The boss has to admit that this scene is indeed very interesting." ”

McCroft laughed, it was still very difficult for Lestrade's pursuit, and he would probably turn off some work when the time came, and it just so happened that Ancia was not usually very busy, but she could help him attend the unimportant banquet.

Ancia didn't know what her boss was hapting, she just saw Mycroft's smiling face and felt inappropriate.

"Boss, then the next three blind dates will ......"

Ancia had already automatically counted Miss Acilia Hart out, after all, it was McCroft himself who went to "declare war", how could there be any chance of winning.

So she was more concerned about the next few blind dates, and the corners of McCroft's mouth curled and said: "Do it according to the plan, what if dear Greg meets someone more suitable." ”

Anthea looked out the car window, she sincerely mourned for the dear Inspector Greg Lestrade for three minutes, if there was still a trace of "way to live" by Mycroft, who had not yet discovered his feelings, then now he was targeted by Mycroft, who fully recognized his feelings, it was really a complete blockage of the back road.

There was really no other choice but to jump into the trap that McCroft had set up.

Anthea blush, but Mycroft's path is not very easy to walk, after all, the little Lestrades are not much of an idle person, are they?!

Ancia thought she should have bought tickets in advance to watch the show, and McCroft's outwitting little Lestrade will definitely be exciting.

And Sherlock, Ancia needs to admit that even if Mycroft might punish her in the future, she can't let go of this big show.

But first of all, we have to solve the love rival that Mycroft has set up himself, right?!
