Chapter 143 Whose Performance, Whose Stage

I giggled on the phone: "I'm also curious about what your boyfriend is doing, well, that phone, it was turned on briefly forty minutes ago, and now it's moved to a dinner party, I checked, it was a fashion show, organized by the New York Times, and the attendees were all celebrities in the fashion industry." After your boyfriend entered the venue, he turned off his phone again, and he has been doing it all the way until now."

Suzanne complained on the phone: "It's the weekend, and I'm finally taking a break from my busy work, but he doesn't want to spend time with me. ”

The colleague on the phone laughed: "Aha, if you find a boyfriend in the jewelry industry, I advise you to die, the weekend is the busiest time for them, they will go to various dinners, and sell their new products to the participating stars and celebrities." This kind of life without anyone on weekends will be the norm in the future. You have to learn to get used to it, you have to learn to adapt.

In addition, you have to be more careful: every weekend, he is surrounded by some of the most beautiful women who love vanity and glitz, these beauties treat life as a show, they are all glamorous, and they are so beautiful that they can't breathe...... You know. ”

Suzanne blurted out, "Kane wouldn't be like that." ”

The person on the phone breathed a sigh of relief: "Kane? With such a voice, I was finally relieved, he was really your boyfriend - I checked, the mobile phone number you said, the registered user is Kane or something

Suzanne hung up the phone melancholy, and at this time, a text message happened to be transmitted, it was Kane: "I am at the fashion show, I can't talk to you now, I may not be able to go home tonight, I want to go directly to the company, ready for tomorrow morning's show." Sorry, my dear, you can spend the weekend on your own and have fun. ”

Susanna's expression moved, and she turned her hand and called her colleague in the police station just now: "Tell me where Kane is just now." ”

The police officer hesitated for a moment and whispered a place name. Suzanne hung up the phone and excitedly greeted her companions: "I have found a new place to entertain, let's go to Broadway together...... Where is there a jewelry show tonight, a lot of celebrities attend. ”

"Yay," the companions cheered. Naturally, the woman couldn't resist the temptation of something shiny, and a crowd of people roared to Broadway...... Unfortunately, the nightclub had a strict ticket system on the day, and customers who did not have tickets were denied entry.

But this is nothing to Susanna, she grabbed the phone and informed An Feng that "I'm coming". An Feng's voice sounded very distant on the phone, he hesitated for a moment, and said hesitantly: "Honey, I'll have someone pick you up right away, but I'm afraid I won't be able to greet you personally." ”

Suzanne replied cheerfully: "Busy with you, I just want to stand under the stage and look at you from afar...... We haven't seen each other in a week. ”

The last sentence was full of grief and resentment, An Feng's words became brighter, but there was no comfort or concern in the words, he seemed to be very happy that Suzanne said this: "Okay, dear, I'll send someone to pick you up immediately." ”

After a while, a model dressed in a performance costume hurried to the door, she compared the photos on her mobile phone with Suzanne herself, and immediately hooked her little finger and beckoned Suzanne to follow her in. Nightclub security turned a blind eye to this. The sensitive Suzanne felt that the model who stood on the steps to greet her seemed to have a hint of jealousy in her expression, and after entering the nightclub, she immediately put aside her burden and refused to be instructed: "You guys have fun by yourself, there are two minutes left for me to play, and I want to go backstage." Goodbye. ”

Without waiting for Suzanne to say something, the female model twisted her small waist and flashed gracefully.

Well, let's have fun alone.

Suzanne also wanted to go backstage to say hello to An Feng or see the exhibits up close. But tonight's exhibits are all diamond jewelry, and the exhibitors are not only An Feng's Bird of Paradise Company, but also two other slightly well-known second-rate companies. Because the exhibits were so expensive, the backstage was completely cordoned off, and even when Suzanne showed her police ID, she was turned away by the insurance company's staff.

After a try, Suzanne led her partner back to the front desk.

The music continues to go on and the customers continue to have fun. It's just that tonight's stage performance of singing and dancing has been replaced by a model catwalk. Of course, this is more popular with customers, because the beautiful figure of the model is far more interesting to the pervert than the monotonous lead dancer, and the sparkle of a diamond is far more intriguing than the naked actor to arouse people's desire for wealth and success.

Suzanne found a seat close to the stage and sat down, beckoned the bartender to serve her wine, and sipped a green mint as she admired the ...... on stage Diamonds and beautiful women, after a while, they were all attracted by the sparkle of diamonds. An Feng seemed to show his face just now, and when several female models came on stage, he lifted the corner of the curtain, showed half of his face, beckoned to Suzanne under the stage, and then quickly retracted behind the curtain.

The people who can get tickets to watch this exhibition tonight are all wealthy people, including the beautiful women and men they support. Suzanne and her companions, who hurriedly came out in civilian clothes, looked shabby in this group of luxurious people, but because Suzanne had shown her police ID, many viewers thought that these women were plainclothes wandering around the exhibition, and they did not reject them.

The lights are bright, the clothes are fragrant, the temples are fragrant, the whispers are whispering, the soft music is everywhere, the champagne is mixed with all kinds of high-end perfumes, and the jewelry on the audience's own body is also shining like stars in the light. Suzanne and her companions who broke into this exhibition have their own hobbies, some like to find celebrities to sign autographs, and they are very skilled in the kind of work that accosted them first and then greeted them. Some like to find a handsome man, or like to discuss the value of life with a handsome man, etc.

As a result, the team immediately became difficult to bring. After several female companions reluctantly accompanied Suzanne to see An Feng, they thought that their responsibilities as friends had been fulfilled, so they scattered like birds and beasts, each looking for their own joy, only Suzanne was still holding a wine glass, not leaving the T-shaped catwalk, while watching the jewelry displayed by the models, while staring at the curtain where An Feng had appeared just now.

There are many nightclub fun-seeking projects, and Suzanne has always been interested in the exhibition, and there is also a female reporter from the New York Times who holds up her camera and shoots from time to time, occasionally pauses, looks sideways at Suzanne who is standing side by side with her, and extends her hand to introduce herself in a friendly way: "Fanny, New York Times fashion reporter, this show is held by our newspaper, hehe, you know, to attract advertisers." So, which of the above products are you interested in? ”

Suzanne shrugged, "Oh, I can't afford these things. ”

The female reporter looked Suzanne up and down and assessed the latter's net worth. The corners of her lips showed a hint of disapproval, after An Feng's dress, or the woman who was collected by An Feng, the clothes and accessories on her body were not bargains. How could such a woman not be able to afford diamonds?

The female reporter was about to refute it, when she suddenly saw two security guards walking here, holding a diamond necklace box in their hands, straight and without hesitation, walking towards Susanna, at this time, An Feng's face appeared from the curtain again, when the two security guards walked to Susanna's side, An Feng nodded in the curtain, and then, the two security guards handed the necklace box to Susanna: "Madam, this is your gift...... Are you Miss Suzanne? Can you show me your ID? …… Okay, somebody sent you this, of course you know who sent it, and he says you know

Suzanne looked at An Feng in the curtain, An Feng smiled at the other party, and immediately shrank back. Only Suzanne noticed his brief appearance this time, and the female reporter standing next to her stared at the jewelry box, looking a little annoyed, a little regretful, a little sad, and a little aggrieved and unwilling.

The actions of the two security guards were the first to be discovered by her, she looked at the security guards who came over without blinking, she held her breath, her heart was lifted in mid-air, and she looked forward to it with all her body and mind, and finally she saw the security guard hand the jewelry box to Susanna, she gently exhaled the breath she was holding, and a look of disappointment quickly swept over her face.

Suzanne had a sweet look on her face, she nodded emphatically, and replied, "Of course I know who sent it to me, thank you...... Here are my documents."

The female reporter next to her said sourly: "Look, you don't have to pay for it, the goods on the stage automatically run into your arms, don't you open the box and take a look?" ”

Suzanne shook her head: "No, I'll go home and see it again." ”

The conversation here immediately attracted the attention of the people around her, and the gossip spread in private, Susanna's female companion was reminded by the news, and said goodbye to her temporary partner one after another, and returned to Susanna, and a female companion put her arm around Susanna's shoulders and was happy for Susanna: "Ah, your boyfriend has given you a gift, open it for me to see." ”

Suzanne shook her head, and her female companion sighed regretfully, and immediately thought of something, and said, "Oh, I didn't bring a gun when I went out today, I thought, come out to play, there is no need to bring a weapon with me." ”

Suzanne clutched the box tightly in her hand and replied, "I have a gun with me at all times." ”

The female companion teased: "Including when you sleep with your boyfriend? ”

Suzanne replied as a matter of course: "That's natural...... My boyfriend didn't care about that, he said it was more secure. ”

The female reporter heard the clue from these answers, and she asked softly: "Are you police?" ”

After receiving an affirmative answer, the female reporter pointed to the back of the stage: "Do you know the person in the back?" ”

A female companion replied, "Inside, one of the bosses is Susanna's boyfriend." ”

The female reporter extended her hand to Suzanne again in a friendly manner: "Let's get to know each other again: I'm Fanny Davis, a fashion columnist for the New York Times. ”

After a pause, the female reporter asked curiously: "My dear female police officer, your boyfriend is the one, there are three companies performing on it, I happen to know two of them, and I want to contact the one who is not very familiar, can you introduce me to your boyfriend, I hope to have an exclusive interview with him." ”

Suzanne opened her mouth and changed her mind when the words came to her mouth: "This, I can't tell you his name, and I can't make decisions for him, as for the interview, I still need to ask for his opinion." ”

The female reporter immediately enthusiastically stuffed Suzanne with a business card: "Okay, let me know as soon as there is news." ”

As he spoke, before he knew it, the performance on the stage had been replaced by singing and dancing. Suzanne was still waiting under the T-shaped runway, she wanted to wait for the end of the party to leave with An Feng, but she waited until very late, seeing that the people in the venue were gradually dispersed, and the jewelry display had stopped for a long time, Suzanne couldn't help but be curious, she walked to the female reporter, raised her chin to the stage, and asked, "Performance, is there anything else?" ”

The female reporter smiled, shook her head and said, "The jewelry display ended an hour ago, didn't your boyfriend notify you?" Oh, and it's no wonder that after the show, they have to return the exhibits under the escort of the security guards, and the insurance company will supervise the scene, and he may not be able to contact you. ”

As he was talking, An Feng's phone call came in, and his voice on the phone still seemed very distant: "My dear, you should rest first, the insurance company must check the authenticity of the exhibits one by one to prevent people from dropping the bag halfway, they are progressing very slowly, I may not be able to go home tonight." ”

Suzanne nodded, the two sides talked sweetly on the phone, Suzanne hung up the phone regretfully, she nodded to the female reporter, and then greeted the female companion: "I want to go home, who wants to leave with me."

Suzanne brought three female companions, but only one female companion did not catch a temporary boyfriend and was willing to leave with her. The two went to the main station to pick up clothes together, and the female reporter came with a camera just now and greeted Suzanne with a smile: "Female police officer, in fact, there is still time, today is the weekend, why don't we go for another drink, I know many famous taverns, you can enter without an appointment." ”

Suzanne raised the jewelry box in her hand, and the female reporter leisurely reminded: "You don't actually have to hold it in your hand, open it and take a look, you really can't wear it now, I believe that no one can take it off you, and no one dares to snatch you." ”

Suzanne thought for a moment, she agreed with the female reporter's statement, and lowered her head to open the jewelry box, which contained a secondary diamond necklace. The main stone of the necklace is not large, but there are a lot of broken diamonds, and the whole necklace jumps with fire, which looks very bright.

Amid the exclamations of her companions and female reporters, Suzanne put the necklace on - she was dressed plainly when she went out today, and there was nothing around her neck.

Susanna, who was wearing the necklace, looked at her thoughtfully, and said, "I seem to remember you, you are the wonder policewoman of Brooklyn?" ”

Suzanne was stunned for a moment, a little complacent in her heart - we are also little celebrities.

After thinking about it again, the other party was a reporter and was particularly sensitive to the news, so she felt that there was no need to be surprised: "I remember that my photo was not published in the newspaper, well, there is a side, but others should not recognize me...... You just said that no one dared to rob me, isn't it for this reason? ”

Fanny shook her head: "If you don't worry...... I know of a bar, very quiet, the guests are very identious, there is no photography and no visiting. I think the bar is safe, it's in the Staten Island villa area, we went by car together and it didn't take much time. ”

Hearing that the bar was located on Staten Island, Suzanne hesitated. An Feng made it clear that she would not go home today, and it was boring to return to the empty villa alone, she looked at her female companion, and the female companion nodded unsatisfactorily: "It's better to go and have a drink." ”

So, the three women got into a taxi and headed for Staten Island.

On the way, Fanny started with jewelry, and introduced the initiators and participants of the exhibition, as well as the design styles of the designers of the three companies...... Of course, she talks about Carlson Andrew, a designer she thinks is very talented and has a bright future...... But Suzanne didn't seem to know the man at all.

Fanny changed the subject and began to ask the two policewomen about their respective hobbies, and it was a reporter's specialty to quietly take each other's words. However, Suzanne always had a string in her mind: the other party was a reporter, and she looked at the problem from a different angle than ordinary people. She is talking about a love, who knows if this is a scandal or a scandal in the eyes of female journalists?

She heard that Fanny wanted to know about her boyfriend's situation, and she was frequently curious about the necklace he gave him. But she couldn't say An Feng's name, on the one hand, because An Feng had a low-key personality and didn't like to show his head in public, and on the other hand, he ...... She herself is now a celebrity, if she tells her boyfriend's situation, in case the female reporter describes the relationship between her and An Feng from the perspective of a scandal, then how can she work?

Suzanne is a policeman, a plainclothes policeman, this job requires her not to be publicized on TV and newspapers, in case she needs to disguise herself as an undercover agent in the future, but the newspapers and television publicize her face to everyone, and everyone recognizes her when she walks on the street, then, she can only squat in the police station as a vase in her life, and she has done it in some office clerks. With Susanna's character, this kind of work is simply sinful.

Fanny's temptation made the two policewomen more and more alert, and she knew that she was in a bit of a hurry. Immediately changed the subject again to cosmetics and jewelry...... as well as men. In this regard, the two policewomen are a suitable interlocutor. As female men, policemen and journalists have a lot of similarities in their personalities, and they have almost identical views on family and boyfriends.

So, by the time the taxi drove to the bar, the three of them were already intimate.

After getting out of the car, Suzanne looked around, nodded silently and blurted out: "I don't actually know this place."

It's so close to my home.

Fanny's eyes lit up, but she took it to heart and didn't follow the topic.

To be honest, attending this exhibition today, Fanny was not very interested. She's used to big-name companies, and the three companies that are exhibiting today have not been well-known in the past, and one company, Carlson Andrew's company, has not been around for a long time.

Fanny knows what the purpose of the organizers of the jewelry exhibitions that have been held frequently here and there lately is nothing more than a small company that is not qualified to get the "Century Awards" entry ticket, in order to attract the attention of others, desperately trying to make a wink at the organizers of the "Century Awards" exhibition, which is just a small gesture to attract the attention of others

When she arrived, Fanny was lazy, unsure of what was so good about today's show, and she thought that with the fame of the three companies, they might not be able to occupy a page in the newspaper tomorrow, and maybe not even a small piece of tofu would be worth publishing.

But at the exhibition, she suddenly saw a familiar person, the mysterious man who accosted her in the nightclub that day - Carlson Andrew.
