Chapter 416: Surprise of Surprise
Las Vegas is about 400 miles from Los Angeles, and it's usually a three- to four-hour drive, which isn't very long, and the U.S. road network is really well-built, and it only takes a little over a day to drive from Los Angeles to New York – and of course, you can't stop.
Sean and the others, like a lot of people, sang all the way to the music and arrived in Las Vegas before dark, which was just right, for the casino, the night was the beginning. And now it's April, and the desert weather is starting to heat up first, and although it's still far from unbearable, it's still not a good choice to travel during the day.
The hotel was at the Venetian Hotel, and as Galen said before his departure, they hadn't come to the casino to relax, as early as when he was filming "Ocean's Eleven", Sean played a few games here, and he was not yet 21 years old. I've stayed in almost all of the famous hotels here, but the Venetian is the favorite, maybe because they always have a daytime ceiling, maybe because of the imitation gondola swaying in the building, anyway, Sean thinks it's a good appetite here, so he has chartered a suite here since 03, and then upgraded it to a presidential suite at the end of last year.
"Take a break, and then we'll go out for dinner together." After entering the room and tipping the waiter who brought the suitcase in, Sean said to Zoe, "Do you like it here?" ”
"It's not bad, at least you don't have to see those...... Unchanged slots. After looking at the suite, although he was a little surprised, he still maintained a flat tone.
"They're not going to put slot machines in hotel rooms, they're not going to put them in shopping streets." Sean reminded with a smile.
One of the features of Las Vegas is that whether it is an airport, a train station, or any other general store, there will be gambling slot machines, as long as tourists are free, they can go and play at any time. Of course, Zoe knows this, she has been running around with her photographer father since she was a child, how could she never be in the casino, she just wants to provoke temptation, because-
"Tell you the truth, Sean, why did you ask me to come here with your friends?" Seeing that Sean was so concerned about him, Zoe, who knew that he already had a certain amount of resistance, simply asked.
"Of course it's out to play," Sean said, looking surprised, "what else can I do?" ”
As he spoke, he reached out and put his arm around her waist: "We rarely go on vacations together like this, do we?" Especially with Galen. You don't know how happy I am when you promised me to come to Vegas with you, so let's go down first, don't make them wait too long. ”
Although she was not satisfied with Sean's answer, Zoe still went out with him to the hall below, at this time there are not many tourists coming to the casino, and it is not a weekend, and the hall is crowded, so at a glance I can see Galen, Sanders, and Frederick, who is reluctant but has already resigned to his fate.
"We've booked a spot at Frye's Restaurant on the Grand Canal, and it's up to you to decide which casino to go to after dinner." Saunders said after the convergence.
"No problem." Sean nodded, but his gaze swept between him and Galen covertly.
They must have something to hide from him, and although Sanders said this in a normal tone, he turned his head and kept exchanging glances with Galen, and there was a faint sense of fidgeting. However, no matter what they are hiding, they won't be able to see it for a while, so let's leave it at that.
It's a good idea to bring Frederick with you, and having him next to you to talk, even if it's just to make a fuss, can liven up the atmosphere. Of course, Galen and Sanders can do the same, but looking at their absent-minded appearance now, they know that they can't count on it for the time being.
Not far from the Grand Canal Street, on the second floor of the Venetian Hotel, the Grand Canal is a river that the hotel has placed in the interior of Venice, and the fake gondolas run on it. There are shops and restaurants on both sides of the river, and the Frye restaurant is at the end of the Grand Canal, next to a small square where art groups perform plays, burlesques or play music, and tourists who stop to enjoy it can also give a tip.
Sean and the others didn't sit outside, although most of the restaurants here are open-air - the ceiling simulates the sky is also the sky - he is a well-known person now, after all, it is okay to be recognized for a few photos when dining out, but if it is seen by a reporter or someone takes a photo and sends it to a reporter, it will be a bit of a problem, not to mention that he also has Zoe with him.
However, what they never expected was that when they sat down in the reserved place, a familiar voice came from the table next to them: "Hey, Sean, you guy, you didn't call me in Vegas!" ”
"Neil?!" Sean immediately turned his head, he was a little surprised, and wanted to say something, but when he saw the girl who was at the same table as Neil, he first looked at him with a smile, and after noticing the girl whose expression immediately became subtle after Zoe, he immediately took a breath of cold air.
"It's me, I didn't expect me to ...... Will come here. Neil also noticed Zoe beside Sean at this time, and immediately looked down, and involuntarily glanced at the person beside him.
"I really didn't expect it, let's sit down first." Galen spoke up at this time.
"That's right, it's rare for everyone to meet here, let's sit down here first." Sanders followed along.
Glancing at them, Sean grinded his teeth in annoyance, and even though they all looked calm, he could tell that their hearts were uneasy.
No wonder they changed color after he brought Zoe over, it turned out that there were other arrangements, but...... Can't you just give a hint before that? Okay, what should I do if I bump into each other?
Of course, Sean can't blame them, Galen and Sanders just want to surprise him, didn't he communicate before? So he could only glare at Frederick fiercely, this guy must have known that they were in the same car on the way here, and Galen couldn't hide any thoughts from him, but he didn't even remind him, it was too hateful.
As for whether the agent who was watching with an inexplicable look was innocently shot, Sean will not be closed, and there must be someone to bear his anger.
But that wasn't right now, so after smiling bitterly and sighing in his heart, he squeezed out a smile at Sanders' words: "yes, sit down, Neil...... And Little Joe. ”
Frankly speaking, Jordana tonight is dressed up beautifully, with neat bangs in front of her, and she is pulled straight down from the sides of her face, still so youthful and beautiful. The top is a red crewneck shirt, and the bottom is a tight jeans, plus sandals that show the toes, and it looks extremely sexy.
"Hi Sean, hi Galen." Jordana greeted them casually and shook Zoe's hand at Galen's introduction.
It's just that every time the corner of her eye sweeps over Sean, it becomes extremely sharp.
And Sean, who can feel it, can only continue to smile bitterly in her heart, not to mention anything else, the reason why she is dressed like this is mostly because of ...... Sean once said that he liked the way she looked.
The rest of the dinner was ...... It's not bad, Neil didn't mention that he came here on purpose, and Jordanna didn't debunk it, and then Frederick continued to gag under Sean's covert prompting, and Zoe looked a little subtle after seeing Jordana, but always maintained a flat look without getting to the bottom of it. As a result, this originally scheduled party became as if it had really happened here.
Of course, Sean had to call some people to the bathroom one by one and torture them.
"When you notice a problem, don't you call Neil and tell him that things have changed?"
"I called, I called several times on the way here, but I couldn't get through, probably on the plane at that time."
"They informed you yesterday, why didn't you come over earlier, you had to wait until we were going to leave before getting on the plane, and you couldn't get through the phone?"
"I'm going to wait with Xiao Qiao, and since it's an appointment, isn't it just right to arrive together?"
"Even if Zoe and I are in another car, at least I can send a text message so that I can be mentally prepared, right?!"
"I forgot."
In short, this is an unwarranted disaster caused by the failure to communicate well, especially since Sean is still carrying Zoe - if it is Katie, it would be fine, at least she and Jordanna know each other.
Fortunately, everyone was an adult, and with Galen helping them out, the imaginary conflict did not erupt, and the dinner and subsequent trip to the casino went well.
Of course, when this happens, Sean has no intention of playing, although he is in high spirits and plans to take a few good bets - testing Zoe is only one of the purposes, and the two aspects do not conflict.
So he played very perfunctory, but Galen and them were very devoted, and they played with hip-hop and laughter, giving people a feeling of heartlessness and lungs, which made Sean quite depressed
Even so, they still played a lot of games, baccarat, roulette, blackjack, etc., although it was basically more than one win or loser, but it was really exciting.
Probably because of the moisturizing and silent appeal of the casino - all casinos in Las Vegas have no place to watch the time, and they are completely enclosed indoors, without a trace of outside light, it is easy for people to ignore time, as long as there is energy and money, you can play without restrictions, and many people are slowly falling into it without knowing it.
In this case, Zoe and Jordanna actually get along very well, Zoe actually doesn't like gambling very much, more watching them play, most of the time she is urged by Sean to play, and her subjective will is not strong. But after Jordana took the initiative to pull her to play, it was different, not only did they talk and laugh together, but they also screamed together from time to time when they played craps, which was quite eye-catching, and also attracted a few pick-up guys.
It's a pity that they are always far away from Sean when they speak, so he can't eavesdrop if he wants to, and he's quite depressed, but looking at the way they look now, there shouldn't be a conflict and a quarrel, right?
