Dinner was canned meat, roast chicken, and mixed vegetables.

Joyce, who sat at the head of the table, feasted on his heart's content, while Elena sulked and glanced at him from time to time.

The white-haired girl Teresa can see that there is a small conflict between the two siblings, and this should not be the first time this has happened.

"Miss Laren is doing a good job, Elena, you're getting down to business. Joyce couldn't stop eating, and said to Elena.

Seeing that Elena was so angry that she stopped eating and left the table, Teresa couldn't help but sigh that it was too difficult for her.

"Ms. Laren is a non-believer, and it took a long time for Elena to go to the Labor and Social Security Department to settle her, and Ms. Laren can do laundry, cooking, chores at home, and going out to buy. Teresa whispered to Joyce.

"Ms. Laren's salary is six silver dollars a month, and she will leave in the evening and come back the next morning with breakfast ready. Teresa continued.

"Hopefully, Ms. Laren can bring a new look to the family. Joyce nodded, waiting to see what he wanted.

After dinner, Teresa sat in the living room reading a book, Joyce was drinking black tea, and Elena couldn't stand it.

"While the shops on First Avenue are not closed, shall we go shopping now?" Elena whispered, sitting beside Joyce, taking his arm around him.

"It's a big night, let's stop for a while, I'm going to go to the basement to study the secrets. Joyce sighed helplessly.

"Joyce, where did you get those delicate objects?"

With a slight hesitation, Elena whispered to Joyce.

"Of course I bought it, but it couldn't be because the wind was blowing. Sensing Teresa's gaze, Joyce rolled her eyes.

Joyce, of course, knew that Elena was asking about cigarettes, porcelain, and pocket watches, pens, and lamps looted from the Mage's Tower.

"Suzu!"

Just when Elena was worried and wanted to ask something, the doorbell of the bungalow had already rang.

The handyman maid in the kitchen was quite sharp, and hurriedly wiped her hands and walked quickly to the foyer.

"Mr. Joyce, there is a visitor outside, who says that he is the operator of the Shengyan Private Restaurant on Iron and Steel Flower Street. It wasn't long before Laren, the handywoman, returned to the living room and said to Joyce with hidden surprise.

"Let people in, if there are small snacks to prepare some. Joyce sat down and said to the handyman.

When the rough-skinned woman left, Joyce secretly sighed: "It's rare that someone has come to me for gifts!"

Under Elena's curious gaze, a woman with coiled hair and a man in cloth were ushered into the living room.

"Good evening, Mr. Joyce, I'm Messer Mathilde. The woman with coiled hair took off her fox fur coat, reached out gracefully, and smiled coquettishly at Joyce.

"Hello, Ms. Mercer. ”

Joyce shook the hand-clad woman and glanced at the cloth-clad man who had laid something down not far behind her.

The woman in front of her has a beautiful round face, a sweet smile with affinity, a long black knitted dress, long hair coiled, and high heels that set off her slender legs beautifully.

Although Joyce's gaze was deliberately avoided, she could still see that the woman's chest was particularly protruding from the long black knitted skirt.

Facing the woman's smile, Joyce felt somewhat dizzy, and her two shallow dimples, like brilliant morning flowers, like crystal clear morning dew, were embedded in the bottom of people's hearts.

Joyce had to praise the Creator for his occasional flash of inspiration for creating a perfect scene on a human body.

Waving her hand to signal a beautiful woman in her thirties to sit down, the woman smiled charmingly, revealing infinite charm, causing Joyce to secretly covet her graceful and delicate body.

"I wonder why Lady Mercer came here at night?"

Joyce sat down with her back against the sofa and crossed her legs, as if she wanted to embody the attitude of the superior, pretending that everything was under control.

"I run a private house in Iron Flower Street, and the city of Lunsu is in turmoil these days, and I ask Mr. Joyce to forgive me for my presumptuous visit, I just want to establish friendship with you and get the protection of the MIA. "The beautiful woman gets straight to the point.

"In fact, Lunsu City is not chaotic, but some people want to destroy the stable and stable environment, and cracking down on lawbreakers has always been a matter of military intelligence, as long as Ms. Mercer is legally doing business, as a member of the military intelligence department, I will definitely protect her. Joyce smiled in a friendly way, deliberately trying to get official.

As the saying goes, don't stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, not to mention that the other party is here to give gifts, Joyce's expression seems to be unhappy with such friendship.

Unlike Elena, who was a little dumbfounded, Teresa, who was holding a book, also had a smile on her pretty face, but this smile hid a kind of contempt.

"I have always been a legal business, please rest assured Mr. Joyce, if you have time, I hope you can visit Sheng Yan Private Pavilion. The beautiful woman smiled and extended an invitation to Joyce.

"There is time to go. ”

Instead of rejecting the beautiful woman, Joyce responded.

"I heard that Mr. Joyce went to the hospital some time ago, and I have brought some supplements today, as if I was doing something for you. While the beautiful woman was laughing, the cloth-clothed man standing behind had already brought up a flat box and a roll of things.

"It's ......"

Seeing the irregular flattened pieces in the box, Joyce felt a little like gastrodia, but he couldn't be sure.

Depending on the environment, the form and efficacy of medicinal materials will inevitably be somewhat different.

"Dry essence gastrodia, it is said to be a great tonic, not only can increase wisdom, but also can calm and relieve pain, boil porridge or soak in water to take can strengthen muscles and bones. The beautiful woman introduced Joyce.

"How embarrassed I am to accept such a precious thing!" Joyce took the flat box and carefully tasted the ten gastrodia inside.

Seeing Joyce's loving look, and listening to his pushback on the scene, even Elena felt somewhat embarrassed.

"I am not very happy if I have this herb in my possession, and I will be even more pleased if it can make Mr. Joyce's body strong, and there is a silk of golden colour here, which has come from the East Coast, and I hope the two young ladies will like it too." The beautiful woman motioned for the man to open up the black cloth wrapped in silk.

When the golden color of silk is revealed, it brings a graceful and luxurious smooth beauty.

"Miss Messer is too expensive. ”

Joyce motioned to the handyman, who couldn't hide her astonishment, and told her to take it away.

"In the future, I will ask Mr. Joyce to take care of my business. "The beautiful woman finished delivering something and wanted a promise.

Joyce smiled and nodded vaguely, but he didn't say anything, and even made people wonder if he would do anything after he took something.

"I have come in a hurry to-day to disturb Mr. Joyce and the two young ladies, so I will go first, hoping to maintain a friendship with them in the future. The beautiful woman was very open-minded and said goodbye at the right time.

"Well, there will be a lot of things to do in the future. ”

Joyce didn't get up to give it away, as if her attention was on the gift, but she was telling.

"Joyce, is such a valuable thing yours?" After the beautiful woman left, Elena showed surprise, guessing the origin of the delicate objects in the house that the man next to her had taken before.

Joyce looked at the flat box containing the withered gastrodia and did not reply.

In fact, Joyce can realize that the beautiful woman who opened the private house will not come sooner or later, and she has to come to the door at this time, because she wants to make friends with him, Elena and Teresa, the three MI personnel, otherwise when he is at home in the afternoon, the beautiful woman will come in the morning.

"Joyce, some people's stuff isn't taken for nothing. Teresa smiled at Joyce, with a hint of playfulness.

Joyce just smiled, but in fact, he secretly slandered: "Isn't it a shameful thing for someone to send something? What are the expressions of these two women, as if they are disdainful!"

"What's the matter with you and Arrin? I heard that you took Angela away the night before, so you didn't want to pay attention to her mysterious nature, did you?"

"I just wanted to save Angela!"

Of course, Joyce couldn't say this, and on the other hand, he also felt the rumors fierce from Teresa's suspicions.

Joyce was obviously sprayed by the director before, but when it came to someone else's mouth, it was like he was confronting the director for his own interests.

It is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and Joyce secretly lamented that it is not easy to work in the military intelligence department.

With Joyce smiling wryly and not speaking, Teresa put the book down, indicating that she must give a clear answer.

"I didn't mean to hurt Angela. ”

Joyce spread her hands helplessly, only slightly arguing.

Some things are true friends if they don't say it thoroughly, and Joyce's suspicions don't matter, and Joyce doesn't think there's any need to talk about her relationship with Arlin.

"Suzu!"

The doorbell rang again, attracting Elena's attention as she looked worried.

"When I'm at home, I invite guests in. Seeing that the handyman maid went to open the door again, Joyce spoke.

"It's all here, it's so warm!"

As Joyce watched, Arrin changed his shoes and walked in.

"You couldn't have come at the right time. ”

Joyce sighed in his heart, and at this time, the flat box and silk of the medicinal herbs had not yet been confiscated, and he could see Arlin with an embarrassed smile, and his eyes glanced at the two objects.

"Let's go upstairs and talk. ”

Joyce took the box of herbs and got up to greet Yarlin.

"Just now Teresa asked me if I took Angela because of the mystical trait that was trying to harm her. When he reached the study on the second floor, Joyce closed the door and whispered to Arrin in annoyance.

"It's all a rumor, I explained it very clearly to the captain, it was you who saved Angela, but I don't think the captain will tell outsiders. Arrin hurriedly responded, as if realizing that if things didn't get things right, it would create a rift between Joyce and him.

"Forget it, you can't let the captain explain the matter, how is Angela, what decision has been made?" Joyce let out a sigh of relief, and there was no intention of pursuing it.

"I was about to tell you about this, Angela's condition is a little different, her arms have grown back, but it doesn't look like a monster, and I'm going to observe it again. Yarlin said with a strange expression.

"Regrowth?"

Because of the strangeness and dreams in his left eye, Joyce gave up watching some people, and he really didn't know what was going on with Angela.
