Chapter 81
"I just can't understand your Western set, do you have to dress so formally for dinner?" IN SOPHIE'S APARTMENT, ACE, DRESSED IN A SUIT, STARES IN THE MIRROR, THOUGHTFUL. "But I'm really handsome when I wear this thing."
Sophie stood beside him with her tuxedo on her arm, scrutinizing the ACE in the mirror before tiptoe to kiss him on the cheek.
"Although your words are a little narcissistic, but you are right, you are really handsome. If you go to Paris with me, I can turn you into a first-class model and become popular all over Europe. ”
"But I've heard that most of the successful male models are ***." ACE gave up the mirror to Sophie and sat on the 'bed' next to her and watched her change. "I don't want to be ***, especially when you're still with me."
"Don't worry, honey, I'll take care of you while we're together." Sophie looked at ACE in the mirror and smiled. "But I'll do it before we part."
Sophie is curling her hair and matching the strap-on evening gown to draw attention to her neck and collarbone, both of which are perfect. A faint blush accentuates the contours of her face, and I like her 'lips' the most, plump and ***.
"You're still a week away from training?" ACE'S TONE WAS FILLED WITH INTENSE DISAPPOINTMENT.
"I'll be back in Paris in two weeks, to be exact." Sophie's hand rested in her hair and she looked at ACE in the mirror. "Will you go back with me? Martha said I could bring an assistant back. ”
"Even if there is an assistant, it won't be me, she'll assign you an agent with the same background, and the Orientals will be a bit of an eyesore in this job." ACE SHOOK HIS HEAD. "And I'm still needed here. Optimistically, we'll meet again, we just don't know the exact time and place. ”
Sophie lowered her eyes, her movements stiffening. "You can say that while you're putting me on the plane."
"I say this because I'm starting to feel sad." Ace and Sophie look at each other in the mirror. "I was thinking how good it would be if I had a mistake in my judgment, and if I said you had a problem, they would have asked you to stay in Hong Kong for a little longer, and we would have more time to contact until we found a reason to stay."
Sophie smiled knowingly. "I know why you're approaching me, but I'm not going to blame you for this, and I don't even feel offended by this because you're so good."
She lowered her head and pinned the last hairpin, carefully hiding it in her hair. The colours of these hairpins are also carefully selected, and in the light, these hairpins will sparkle, and if her hair is slightly out of order, these highlights will better reflect her chestnut 'color' hair without drawing attention to the mess.
"We all know it's impossible, and our business is just an 'episode' compared to work."
"So you have no regrets about going back to France?" ACE LOOKED AT HER AND SMILED. "It's so sad, I thought we had a different relationship."
Sophie didn't speak, but finally straightened her hair, and could see the muscle 'flesh' lines on her arms, shoulders, and back, not the kind of athletes, but also not the kind of ordinary 'women', she was not only beautiful, but also very elegant, ACE had to admit that this French 'woman' made his heart move. This is not the kind of heartbeat brought about by one or two clouds and rain, but a feeling: he wants to sit here and watch this 'woman' like this, and there is not enough time to watch.
With a "whoa", he pulled the sleeve of the pistol and began to inspect the new 1911 pistol.
Sophie looked back in surprise. "You have dinner with a weapon?"
"Hong Kong is not safe for An Nianrong, and if I invite her out to dinner, I have to take responsibility for her safety." ACE grimaced at Sophie. "To invite her out to dinner, you have to book a restaurant and make the necessary preparations beforehand. I don't like it, but I'm going to ask her over anyway. ”
Sophie stood up and began to put on the long tube***.
"I know you're here for me, and you want me to be closer to Martha. Still, you know what? If she doesn't like me, that's okay, we're just an employment relationship, there's no rule that we have to be good friends. ”
"This dinner is indeed for you." ACE walked over and hugged Sophie from behind, gently rubbing her shoulders as she smelled the scent in her hair. "If you must go, it's a memorial service."
Sophie smiled and broke free from his embrace, gently holding ACE's face.
"I love the ceremony, at least it's expensive. But now that we've got the 'door', you don't want Martha to wait for us there, do you? When we come back, I'll thank you very much. ”
She walked into the bathroom with her clothes in hand, where there was a larger mirror.
THE EXPRESSION ON ACE'S FACE FROZE AS SHE WALKED INTO THE BATHROOM. He slowly sat back on the 'bed', slowly 'touched' a silencer from the sock of his little 'leg', slowly attached it to the muzzle of the gun, and stared at the 'door' of the bathroom.
"Sweetheart, can you help me look at the hem of the dress?" Sophie's sweet voice rang out. "I think there's something wrong with the hem of this dress."
After a moment of silence, ACE shook his head, quickly put the pistol and silencer back in place, and strode inside.
"Honey, I'm coming. This work 1 6k exclusive text version debuted, may not be reproduced without consent, excerpts, more latest and fastest chapters, please visit.16! ”
When An Nianrong, Sasha and Sophie sat together, the black, gold and chestnut were as smooth as chocolate mixed together, and the hair fluttered between the three beautiful faces as they whispered, looked at each other and laughed indulgently, harmonizing the atmosphere with aromatic sweetness. The dining room was supposed to be quiet, but now there was only one table of guests in the bright dining room, so no one would have any objection to the performance of these seven people tonight.
Yang Falcon and Shi Bao should not have appeared on this occasion, at least not to sit at the same table with An Nianrong, but ACE insisted on doing so. His reasoning was that even the more important people did not need to worry about security at all in the midst of such a group of real special operations experts. It's just that at the insistence of Yang Falcon and Shi Bao, except for Sophie, everyone else has to bring self-defense weapons, which is the only dissatisfying part of this dinner.
ACE was particularly quiet, and most of the time he was just 'fiddling' with the cup in his hand, occasionally giving a little opinion on the topic of discussion when urged to do so. The cheerful Sasha expressed her displeasure, but ACE explained that he was not very good at French, so he did not want to speak, and besides, he was not interested in matters between 'women'. His gaze swept over the face of the 'girl' across the table, but his gaze stayed more on Sophie's, and when their eyes 'met', even a fool could see the affection between them.
"I want a steak too."
Ma Xibei suddenly turned his head to look at ACE, and the expression on his face was very serious.
"I'm asking you to look like a normal person, this is already the fourth." Pretending to wipe his mouth with a napkin, Ace leaned his head closer to Ma Xibei and whispered. "If you're in the mood for meat, there's a lot of steak in the kitchen, and I'll cook it for you myself when I get back. I have a strict budget for this meal, so don't let me 'spend' more. ”
Ma Xibei looked at ACE, nodded understandingly, and then turned around to greet the 'waiter' Yingsheng.
ACE angrily threw the napkin on the table and turned his head away from Ma Xibei's appearance.
"It's nice to 'spend' money." Ma Xixi did not intend to let him go. "I want a cigar when I drink coffee."
"You don't smoke, soldier ant." ACE looked at him in disgust. "And your profession doesn't allow you to 'smoke'."
"You're right." Ma Xixi nodded. "I'm going to take it and give it to Wu Xian."
ACE SHOOK HIS HEAD DISDAINFULLY. "How long are you going to be so annoying?"
"By the time I forgot about killing the Japanese." Ma Xibei looked at ACE innocently. "You should know that I am a stingy person, especially when my own people betray me."
ACE is the air knot.
"You know what? You're cuter when you're still talking less. ACE SPREAD HIS HANDS HELPLESSLY. Whatever you want, you can buy this restaurant if you want, but don't expect me to hug your big thighs for this. ”
"You don't have enough money to buy this restaurant." There was no expression on Ma Xibei's face. "I know how much money you have in your account, so I won't let you overdraw."
ACE LOOKED AT HIM IN SURPRISE. "You're still counting my earnings?"
"I've been doing that, ACE." Ma Xibei's always honest face actually had a 'treacherous' smile on his face. "I know how much the whole team earns. Your forte is card counting, but mine is calculating the money in your pocket, and it's a lot of fun. I love the way you guys stunned, when I can casually tell how much money each of you has in their pockets. ”
"Because it's convenient for you to blackmail people." ACE'S EYES NARROWED AS IF HE HAD SEEN MA FOR THE FIRST TIME. "You're also a pervert, stay away from me in the future."
At this time, he saw An Nianrong preparing to go to the bathroom to touch up her makeup. Yang Falcon also stood up with her, and ACE hurriedly motioned for him to sit down, and then rushed to open the way in front of An Nianrong. This restaurant had been closed as early as the afternoon, and Ma Xibei, Yang Falcon and Shi Bao had already sorted out the situation here several times, so ACE's hospitality made An Nianrong feel a little funny.
"I'M A LITTLE FLATTERED, ACE, I'M AFRAID I'M GOING TO GET USED TO YOUR CUTENESS."
"You deserve it, Director An." ACE said heartily. "Everyone likes to have a boss like you, and I think the girls really like you."
By the time they were talking, the man had already reached the hallway.
"I won't pay for you if you say that." An Nianrong smiled, and did not go in immediately, but looked at ACE with both hands on her chest. "I know you have something to tell me, and it's clear you can't wait."
"I heard that you have invited an expert to Hong Kong." ACE looked into An Nianrong's eyes. "And I also know this person, he is the officer who came to investigate Luo 'Men' a few days ago, and he used to be Cui Han from the Special Office of Unit 128."
"It's good that you're old acquaintances, so he'll be able to work well." An Nianrong smiled. "He is responsible for doing the liaison between us and the General Staff on the matter of Luo Men, so he needs to stay in Hong Kong for a while."
"I don't have any 'friendship' with this person, but I want to remind you that Unit 128, like other units, not only produces talents but also scum." ACE looked at An Nianrong seriously. "I don't think it's possible for you not to know why he left Unit 128. This makes me wonder, why would you allow such a person to enter the center? ”
"You're questioning my judgment?" An Nianrong looked at ACE curiously. "I don't let the conflict between him and Rom affect my judgment of him. That's what you're worried about? ”
"The things between him and Ro'mon are not called contradictions, but that's not the point. The point is, do you really want to call Cui Han to deal with Sophie? ACE looked at An Nianrong seriously.
"That's because you can't do your job." An Nianrong restrained the smile on her face. "So far, you can't come up with an identification of Sophie, so I'll have to do it myself, I won't use your set, so I'll have to hire an expert."
"Cui Han is not an expert, he is a cold-blooded pervert." ACE'S VOICE WAS FILLED WITH IRRITATION. "It's a matter of principle, I can't let him deal with Sophie, even if she's a spy, it's too much to use Cui Han."
"You're teaching me what to do now?" An Nianrong looked at him coldly.
"Why does Luo 'Gate' ignore this matter?" ACE frowned disapprovingly. "He has his own opinions, and he has to prove it himself, and I don't want to involve people like Cui Han in Sophie's affairs. Luo 'Gate' at least has his principles, but Cui Han is a butcher. ”
"I don't see any difference between Luo 'Men' and Cui Han." An Nianrong shrugged her shoulders. "The file shows that Luo 'Gate' is not an angel, if you call Cui Han a butcher, then what is Luo 'Gate'? A more sane butcher? ”
"The difference between them is that Luo 'Men' only targets those who are identified, while Cui Han only targets those who admit the charges, even though they may be unjust." ACE'S EYES WERE FILLED WITH PAIN. "Sophie should be interrogated more humanely. If you must do this, then call Ro'mon. ”
Looking at the chattering and laughing people in the hall, An Nianrong shook her head slowly, and her voice was cold.
"If you want to bribe me, this dinner isn't enough."
