Chapter 314: The Upper East Side of Manhattan
At half past three in the afternoon, Pepe's plane finally arrived at New York's LaGuardi Airport.
There are a total of three large civil airports in New York.
John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK), located in southeast Queens, New York City, is the largest civilian airport in New York City and New Jersey, and the most important international airport on the East Coast of the United States. Most of the planes at the airport are international and a few are domestic, and it is about 24 kilometers from Manhattan, a landmark in New York.
Newark Liberty International Airport, located in Newark and Elizabeth City, New Jersey, is the second-largest international airport in New York City and New Jersey, with most of the aircraft taking off and landing on international flights, about 26 kilometers southwest of Manhattan.
The last one is LaGuardi Airport, where Pepe is now. LaGuardi Airport is also in Queens, which is smaller than the previous two airports and mainly takes off and lands domestic aircraft. It's only 13 kilometers from Manhattan's Upper East Side.
After leaving the airport gate, Pepe picked up her mobile phone to call the driver who came to pick her up, and went straight to the airport gate with her luggage.
Austin was still on official business at the company at this time, and the driver who was responsible for picking up the plane was Moore, who had a few encounters with Pepe.
Moore's car was parked in the parking area outside the airport at this time, and when he saw the proprietress appear from afar, he immediately greeted him and helped carry his luggage.
After getting into the car, Moore started the car's engine while looking at the proprietress reflected in the rearview mirror in the car. He asked, "Madam, the boss told me to send you back to the apartment by the East River on the Upper East Side, and then the rest of the arrangements are all at your command." β
Pepe was looking sideways at the road view outside the car window at this time, and replied with a smile after hearing this: "Okay, take me back to the apartment first." β
On the morning before she arrived, Pepe had already called her husband Austin, who would not be able to return to the apartment until after half past five in the afternoon at the earliest. The couple had agreed in advance to go out for dinner tonight and then go to Broadway to see an opera performance. Finally, Austin also took his wife to the "Star Club", which is known as the celebrity club of the Upper East Side.
Saying. How much Austin haunts the experience of being released when he first met Pepe!
Take a look at all the itinerary for tonight. It's exactly the whole date that Pepe made when he released the pigeons.
Pepe knows that Austin's personality is sometimes a bit of a stubbornness that doesn't reach his goal.
The first time he was released by a woman, how could he not complain!
The first few times Pepe came to New York. At that time, Austin had no spare time for the work at hand. In addition, Pepe's trip to New York is also a hurried itinerary. The longest one only stayed for three days and then left. That's why Austin has been thinking about making up for the date plans he and his wife had when they first met.
This time, Pepe has promised Austin. I will stay with him in New York for a long time. So don't be too happy with this guy Austin, because he can finally make up for the failed date he had with his first pigeon.

Because it is the Upper East Side of Manhattan from Queens, where LaGuardi Airport is located, it starts to get stuck in traffic as soon as you get on the road. Especially when the car drove to the Queen's Bridge, which connects Queens and Manhattan, there was a traffic jam at the front and back.
Underneath the Queen's Bridge is the River East.
After crossing the bridge and continuing north along East End Avenue on the East End of the River East, Gracie Plaza, an up-and-coming affluent neighborhood on Manhattan's Upper East Side.
This three-story apartment in Austin is located not far from Gracie Square, the beginning of East End Boulevard, adjacent to Carl-Schurz Park, and overlooking the entire East River from the apartment's window.
When it comes to the affluent district of the Upper East Side of Manhattan, the initial formation is not the product of urban planning, but the construction of New York's Central Park, the early rich people have purchased the land of Fifth Avenue near Central Park, and then built their own apartments, and gradually, the surrounding area of Central Park formed a rich and aristocratic living area. Therefore, Fifth Avenue, located on the edge of Central Park, should be the first affluent district of the Upper East Side.
East of Fifth Avenue and west of Lexington Avenue is the most expensive and popular residential area in New York, known as the "Gold Coast" of New York, which is home to some of the richest people in New York and is truly wealthy.
Manhattan's Upper East Rich Quarter is not only the richest neighborhood in New York, but it also has the smell of old money and conservative values in the air, and has an old-fashioned charm tempered by capital and time.
Its many famous museums and world-class designer boutiques exude the urban taste of a cosmopolitan city, and the subconscious concept of class created by the best private and public schools.
To sum up, this wealthy district has always been regarded as the arrogant aristocratic face of Manhattan.
The East End Avenue, where the three-story apartment in Austin is located, is adjacent to the East River and has a quiet waterfront landscape in the hustle and bustle, so it is valued by more and more young wealthy people, who choose to buy land here and build unique and unique water-view homes.
Especially in recent years, more and more luxury apartments have been developed on East End Avenue, such as East End 1, East End 120, and Gracie Plaza 10. As a result, this area has become the newly wealthy district of Manhattan's Upper East Side.
According to Austin, he bought and built the apartment in early '03.
This guy has an extremely sharp eye, and he probably saw the future appreciation of this area between the East River and Carl-Schurz Park early on, so he will invest in the land and real estate here early.
Sure enough, not long after Austin bought the land, Gracie Plaza was developed, and construction began on luxury apartments, and in less than five years, the value of the apartment in Austin had at least doubled.
ββββββββββ this is the dividing line that represents getting back to the pointββββββββββ
The plane landed at half-past three, and it was not until it was almost five o'clock that the driver, Moore, finally delivered the proprietress to her destination - a three-story apartment in Austin by the River East.
Pepe got out of the car and took out the keys from her bag, then opened the door and walked in. Behind her, Moore was carrying his luggage from the trunk of the car.
"Ma'am, do you need me to carry your luggage upstairs?" Moore pulled the towbar of the suitcase and followed.
"No, you can just put it in the living room! I'll clean it up myself in a moment. Pepe lazily lay down on the living room couch.
After placing the suitcase flat at the entrance of the living room, the driver Mohr asked, "Excuse me, what else do you need to tell me to do?" β
Pepe waved at the driver, Moore, and said, "It's okay, you can go back!" β
The driver, Mohr, smiled and exited the door of the apartment, and before leaving, he gently helped the proprietress close the door.
It's been a few hours on the plane, and the traffic jam is nearly an hour and a half as soon as the plane gets off the plane, so Pepe is in a lazy state at this moment, and he doesn't want to move at all.
Lying on the sofa and squinting for a while, her mobile phone rang, and when she picked it up, it turned out to be a call from Austin.
"My dear, Moore called me just now to report that he had sent you back to the apartment. I'm ready to leave the office now, you pack up, and I'll pick you up for dinner in half an hour. Austin said on the phone.
- Well, for the sake of Austin's lingering resentment, she had to quickly freshen up, dress herself up again, and then accompany her husband out on a date.
After Pepe hung up the phone, he lazily got up from the sofa and dragged his suitcase to the master bedroom on the second floor.
Half an hour was enough time for her to rinse off the dust in the bathroom, and then pick out a beautiful dress to change into.
As for makeup dress-up? Please, Pepe thinks that she is naturally beautiful and difficult to give up, and the so-called "most women must wear makeup for at least an hour before going out, otherwise they can't go out" This statement is simply unimaginable for Pepe.
An hour? For Pepe, it won't take ten minutes! Touch up your eyebrows, apply a layer of homemade moisturizer, apply a pale pink lip gloss, and finally spray a little perfume on both ears, and the whole makeup time is less than six minutes.
Instead, it takes a little longer to pick out a set of jewelry to match tonight's outfit.
Pepe had just slipped her foot into one of the rows of heels in front of her, ready to pick out the shoes that would best match tonight's outfit, when the sound of the car brakes came from outside the window.
Two or three minutes later, Austin opened the door to his apartment and walked into the living room.
At the same time, Pepe has already decided which pair of shoes she wants to wear to go out tonight.
At this time, she was carrying a small silver-white Givenchy handbag, holding on to the handrail of the stairs and walking downstairs.
"Baby, you're so beautiful tonight!"
The amazing gaze of her husband made Pepe, as a wife, very complacent.
So, she smiled charmingly at her husband: "Honey, we have been separated for several days, haven't you thought of giving me a kiss that represents your longing?" β
Austin chuckled, and then he strode over to his wife, who was smiling at him at the top of the stairs, and then picked them up and kissed them hard (to be continued......
