Michelle's Restaurant is well-known throughout New York high society. Their steaks are all shipped in the same day. Expensive foods such as cutlery, red wine, caviar, and lobster were also selected one by one.

Therefore, eating at Michel's restaurant is not only a way to satisfy your appetite, but also a symbol of status and a display of wealth.

Because Michelle's restaurant only serves Xiao Zheng and Sophia tonight, no matter what Xiao Zheng wants to eat, it will be made as quickly as possible and then delivered.

Sophia doesn't eat much, but she is very particular about what she eats. Every time a dish comes up, it is a huge plate, but the dishes on the plate are very rare. According to Xiao Zheng's appetite, one spoonful is gone. Sophia, however, can eat slowly and wait for the next dish to come. Elegant as royalty and noble, pleasing to the eye.

Xiao Zheng looked at Sophia, who was extremely beautiful during the meal, and it was hard to imagine that she was the vicious woman who killed Jones, who was famous all over the world, and pushed herself into the abyss again and again. At a certain moment, Xiao Zheng felt that Sophia was definitely worthy of being called a country and a city, as beautiful as a fairy.

Sophia noticed Xiao Zheng's gaze, slowly put down the knife and fork, and asked subtly, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Look at you." Xiao Zheng replied honestly.

Sophia smiled slightly when she heard this, changed her cunning and mysteriousness, and said, "Is it good-looking?" ”

"Beautiful." Xiao Zheng nodded.

Sophia smiled slightly, pursed her lips and said, "If you don't eat it again, the food on your plate will be cold." ”

Xiao Zheng casually picked up a piece of steak, gobbled it into his mouth and chewed it, and said vaguely: "Before in the Lin family, you looked like a female man when you ate. Why is it so ladylike now? ”

can control both ladies and ladies so skillfully, and there is no contrived at all. This is what Xiao Zheng is most curious about. Only a woman who has really been a woman and a lady can switch between the two.

Hearing this, the corners of Sophia's lips curled up with a touch of remembrance, and said: "After I was ten years old, every winter and summer vacation, my father would send me to the royal family to learn etiquette. It is not until the age of eighteen that he graduates. ”

"Aren't you tired, then?" Xiao Zheng was surprised.

Xiao Zheng has no parents and has never been a parent, so it is difficult for him to understand that there are still parents who educate their children like this in this world. According to his thinking, as long as the child's three views are positive and not the kind of treacherous villain, he will basically not interfere too much with the child's growth. Just go with the flow.

"Tired?" Sophia asked rhetorically. "Why do you feel that?"

"You're not a member of the royal family, but you're learning royal etiquette. Don't you feel tired? Xiao Zheng asked.

Sophia smiled slightly and said, "Of all the women you come into contact with, who would behave too rough and unfeminine in front of you?" It doesn't matter if she's a rich lady or an ordinary girl. ”

Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, shook his head with a smile, and said, "Indeed." Every woman will show a gentle side to a certain extent. ”

"It's the same with men." Sophia laughed. "Etiquette is something that every human being actively pursues. No matter what position he is in, or what status he has, no matter how high or low, etiquette is a beautiful thing. No one will say no. Unless he wants to get attention, or breaks the jar. ”

"So you like it?" Xiao Zheng asked. "For you, learning royal etiquette is not only tiring, but also a pleasure?"

"If it weren't for the fact that my father died at the hands of Jones three years ago. All you can see is who I am now. Not me that scares you. Sophia said word by word.

Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned, and finally stopped evaluating Sophia in cruel language, and said slowly: "The world is impermanent, and life will never follow the established track before it dies. ”

"Are you comforting me?" Sophia asked.

Xiao Zheng was silent for a long time, nodded and said, "Count." ”

"Three years ago, I might have gladly accepted your comfort." Sophia smiled. "But now, I realize that comfort is, to some extent, just a meaningless and worthless perfunctory. It doesn't work at all. ”

Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly: "If I have to choose, I prefer your gentle side." ”

"Then you're protecting me?" Sophia asked bluntly. "If you can live in a harmless environment. Who wants to be intrigued? ”

So is Sophia. This is true of all those who live in this society. Including Xiao Zheng.

During his years abroad, he had to master all the habits of his targets, analyze their behavior, and understand their personalities. Only after the target is fully mastered can the assassination operation be guaranteed to the greatest extent.

ENN, after entering the overseas department, he also had to understand his employees and analyze their psychology, so as to work and manage more effectively.

These are all intrigues, and they are all painstaking living conditions.

Want to live like you do in the security department? But such a life with no fighting spirit and no future will probably not be accepted by the vast majority of people in society, right?

Therefore, as long as you want to live a better life, you must face greater challenges and stimulate your most sinister but sharpest side, so as to complete the transformation of life.

For Sophia, she shows a sharp side, in addition to a better life, but also a means to save her life. Otherwise, she will follow her father's path and become another ghost under Jones's fangs.

She likes and yearns for an elegant life, but the reality brutally crushes her life and forces her to take the road of the strong step by step. It may be scary, but it can make her live better.

"The steak was really delicious." Xiao Zheng gave a very high evaluation, and took another sip of red wine. "The wine is also mellow and fragrant. Unlike the red wine I drank in Huaxia, most of it was mixed with water, or it was simply fake. ”

"If you like, when you return home, I will regularly air transport it to you." Sophia smiled.

"Isn't that too much of an expense?" Xiao Zheng said with a smile.

"I'm not short of money." Sophia said calmly.

Xiao Zheng smiled slightly, lit a cigarette and said, "What's the situation on the fox hunting side now?" ”

"The darkness before dawn." Sophia was succinct.

"Are you going to encourage them to kill me?" Xiao Zheng asked.

"They don't have the energy to pay attention to you anymore." Sophia laughed. "Next month at the latest, a new head will be born. They are making a final effort. ”

"Sounds so hurtful about your self-esteem." Xiao Zheng smiled. "But it's good news."

"So, is it worth a toast?" Sophia raised her glass.

"Of course." Xiao Zheng raised his wine glass and greeted him with a smile.

The two of them drank it all, and Sophia showed a sly look on her face and said meaningfully: "Congratulations on your successful detoxification." ”
