15 First Sight

Fifth Avenue is also in the South Side.

It is the center of the southern city, and with this as a point, it forms an acute triangle with the port area and the Luojia mountain community, and the fifth avenue is the apex of the southern city, which is closer to Yves Saint Laurent.

Reims City has several commercial centers, Oak Street in the North City is a place for the nobles to spend their leisure time, there are many shops, gorgeous decorations, and the customers who come in and out are very well-dressed gentlemen and ladies, like Ryan's current dress, when he walks to the intersection of Oak Street, he will be stopped by the patrol and not allowed to enter, even if there is no such thing in the law.

Untouchables and dogs are not allowed, but it is an unspoken rule on Oak Street.

The largest business center in the South City is on Fifth Avenue, here, there are no rules like Oak Street, and commoners like Ryan can also enter and exit freely, after all, many employees of trading companies and companies are civilians, unlike Oak Street, the employees who serve the distinguished customers in those shops are basically the descendants of the aristocratic family, and those who can open stores on Oak Street must have noble status.

It is also a commercial street in the downtown area, but Fifth Avenue and the port area are different.

The streets were cleaner, there were more private carriages, there were more patrols, there were no drunks everywhere in the port area, people were much cleaner in their clothes, and the gentlemen smiled and took off their hats to salute each other.

On both sides of the street are three-storey buildings, some of which are shops below, the second and third floors are occupied, and some are entirely used as company offices.

This is the case of the Albert Cleaning Company on the corner of Fifth Avenue, a small black three-story building that belongs to the cleaning company, and on the sidewalk at the entrance of the small building grows a huge plane tree, with lush foliage and a crown almost flush with the roof of the small building.

When Ryan walked here, there was a black carriage parked at the door of the small building, with a pattern on the carriage, which at first glance looked like the family crest of a noble family...... Albert Cleaning Company, it seems, the carriage should belong to the company.

A cleaning company with its own carriage, it seems, business should be good.

The gate opened at the corner, facing the three-way intersection, and in front of Ryan there were nine steps, and above the stairs was a closed black wooden door, and on the side of the wooden door, there was a brass bell.

Ring the brass bell, the bell rings, and the people inside know that there are visitors.

Ryan took a deep breath.

He lowered his head and climbed the stairs.

Suddenly, there was the sound of a door opening from above, and the brass bell rang crisply, echoing above Ryan's head, and Ryan stopped, raised his head, and met someone's gaze in midair.

Someone pushed open the wooden door and walked out.

It was a girl wrapped in a black robe and a black veil on her head, her bangs on her forehead were long and hung down to cover her eyes, her nose was high and handsome, her face was the size of a palm, her chin was slightly pointed, and she was thin.

The girl's face was extremely pale, without any blood, and she looked a little malnourished.

She kept her head down, Ryan looked up.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The girl's gaze is very cold, like two deep pools, the emotions are extremely strong, but they seem indifferent, giving people a very contradictory feeling.

Ryan took off his top hat and bowed his head.

At this time, the girl also looked away.

When Ryan looked up, she had already looked away, walked down with her head down, and staggered past Ryan on the stairs, Ryan moved two steps to the right, and stood aside very politely, letting the black-robed girl go first.

There was a wind blowing through the cheeks, with a light scent.

Ryan didn't continue upward, he turned his head to look at the girl in black who was walking down the stairs.

It's not love at first sight, it's not a sight to behold, he's not hungry and thirsty to that extent, although he has a seventeen-year-old body, his mind is similar to an old man who sees through the world, even if it's a stunning beauty, it won't make him suddenly moved, not to mention that although this girl looks good, it hasn't reached that level.

It's just that there seems to be some traction in the dark.

There was something mysterious about this girl in black, which made him curious.

Then, he saw Milo.

Milo was a teenager, less than eighteen years old, a seven-foot-tall boy, more than two meters old, with a big waist and a round waist, he sat in the driver's seat of the carriage, like an iron tower, and his black jacket was obviously a little small, very ill-fitting.

Compared to his huge body, he has a face as immature as a child.

The jaw is very clean, there is no beard, a face is white and round, fluffy red curls, a round face, a round nose, round eyes, everything is bulging like a body, strong and immature, forming an extremely special contrast.

He stared at Ryan with a somewhat bad expression.

This was the first time the trio had met.

Much later, Milo remembered this encounter, at that time, his first impression of Ryan was not good, and he instinctively felt that this little white face was unreliable, and at that time, he did not know what would happen in the future......

The door opened, and the girl in black slipped into the carriage like a gust of wind.

"Drive. ”

Milo let out a low cry and raised his whip, and the horse pulling the cart raised its hooves silently, and the carriage turned into the corner of the street and drove towards the end of the long street, and soon disappeared from Ryan's sight.

Stand in front of the door and ring the brass bell.

The ringing is crisp and reverberates around the street corner.

Above their heads, a pigeon fluttered its wings and flew towards the blue sky, disappearing behind the eaves on the opposite side.

The bell rang, and Ryan's gaze was withdrawn from the sky after the dove had disappeared, and he waited silently, not ringing the brass bell any longer.

"Please come in ......"

From behind the door came a voice, a very gentle woman's voice.

Ryan pushed the door open and walked inside.

It was a small living room, and to the left of the entrance was a teak desk, and behind the desk, a woman in her twenties in a long dress sat there, and in Ryan's sight, she stood up with a smile on her face.

The woman has a pair of light green eyes, like a sea of stars, with a smile on her face, as if gently blowing the sea breeze across the sea, and her smile is very standard, revealing six white teeth, no more, no less.

"You are?"

There was a hint of doubt on the woman's face.

Ryan pursed his lips, his expression a little cramped.

He grinned, a shy smile.

This performance is in line with his personality.

"I'm Ryan Shire......"

As he spoke, Ryan took out the white business card from his wallet, and he said with some hesitation.

"Mr. Devon gave me this business card, and I ...... I want to get a job!"

"Oh!"

The woman nodded.

"Hello, Mr. Charles, I'm Tess Flo, the front desk clerk of Albert's cleaning company, and Mr. Albert is in charge of recruiting the staff himself, and he said that if you come, I'll take you in. ”
