31 Lunch in the car

When the sun sank behind the high walls of the atrium, Emilia finally put an end to her affair. She thought that at this point, Zach, who had dragged her from her own patient to the West End, could send her back gentlemanly, well, she thought she was wrong.

Accompanying Mrs. Quinn throughout the whole process, Mrs. Patton, who listened to Amilia's boring speech, hooked her hand at Zack, summoned Zack to her side, and followed her to Barton Manor, leaving Emilia with a gloomy face, escorted out by two security guards in the bright red sunset.

Patton Manor and Quinn Manor aren't far apart, and this isn't Zach's first visit. Last time, affected by the sunlight in the atrium, it was a little difficult to deal with Mrs. Barton's problems, and I couldn't appreciate the things in Barton Manor.

Zach thought he could make up for it this time, and he thought he was wrong. Mrs. Barton brought her car to a halt in front of the manor, and said to the butler-like figure who ran out, "Dinner." Then he drove straight past the manor and began to drive along the edge of the manor.

Zach looked out the window at the backward scene, a little embarrassed, Mrs. Patton didn't seem to want to take Zach into her manor at all!

"Hmph. Mrs. Patton leaned her cane to the side, took her napkin from the compartment in the car, and began to prepare her dinner, "What are you expecting? Let me take you to Barton's family dinner?" You have to feel like what you're going to sit there in. ”

Mrs. Barton glanced at Zach, her mood continuing her previous irritability on the balcony of Quinn Manor.

Zach pursed his lips and could only laugh, "I understand." Mrs. Patton need not be embarrassed. ”

"I'm not embarrassed. Mrs. Patton unceremoniously spread a napkin over her lap, "I have the irritability that I can't have dinner with my own family because of you." ”

Zach squeezed his eyes. If it weren't for Emilia, this conversation with Mrs. Barton would have been completed in the elevator at noon. But there are no ifs.

After a moment of awkward silence, the car stopped again at the gate of the manor, and the servant with the dinner quickly finished the arrangement in the carriage and retreated. The car started moving again. Mrs. Barton started the usual can of pumpkin soup right in front of Zack.

Mrs. Patton glanced at Zach, who was indifferent to dinner, and tugged at the corners of her mouth, "I know your sister Alice is a good cook, but what?

Zach was in a difficult situation, and in front of Lola, he could easily get out of the restaurant with the phrase 'I still have work to deal with'. But now it's Mrs. Patton!

Zach reluctantly picked up the thick soup in front of him and sipped it symbolically.

Mrs. Barton looked at Zach. Tugged at the corners of his mouth, and ignored it again, "Hmph." Let's talk about what is long overdue. You should be realised, and I'm not happy about the arrangement you have entrusted to Falken this time. ”

Zack was conscious, put down the soup in his hand, and put on an apologetic look, "I'm sorry for this, I shouldn't take advantage of Lola and Grande's relationship casually." To guide Lola to such a decision. ”

Mrs. Barton also put down the soup, with impatience on her face. "Don't say such insincere words in front of me. ”

It is indeed insincere, and the relationship with the West End is shuttling back and forth between employers and friends, and this incident that destroys many interpersonal laws has been clearly pointed out by Ms. Sher. But Zach, fully conscious, thought he shouldn't, but did it anyway.

And. Zach doesn't have anything to apologize about. In fact, it seems that the benefits of this incident to the people of the West End far outweigh the disadvantages caused by Zach crossing the line, not to mention that the disadvantages have not been reflected at all.

Zach didn't contradict either, "I understand Madame's feelings, but I hope Madame can trust Grande as an employee." Grande doesn't do anything harmful to the people of the West End. As Lola's friend, I don't. ”

Zach mentioned trust again. Trust is important, whether it's an employment relationship or a friend relationship, and Zach uses the common denominator of these two conflicting identities as his own standpoint. Just as every time Zach opened his mouth to convince others, structure the facts and let the whole 'universe' help him.

However, the truth doesn't seem to quite match Zach's expectations.

Mrs. Barton, who has been proven and is not so easily persuaded to reverse the 'universe' and not help Zach, raised her eyes, "It's interesting!" Mrs. Barton pulled the corners of her mouth, "You mentioned trust again!"

Mrs. Patton grasped the knife and began to cut through the food in front of her, "Grande, don't you think that the trust you are asking for is a little redundant. ”

Is it redundant?

"Hmph. Grande, which only provides results, has hidden too many processes of delegated execution. Mrs. Patton glanced at Zach, "I like it, I don't bother to bother with everything, and I want it to be like it all the time." So trust, Grande, we've given it to you, and you seem to take it for granted more and more!"

Zach frowned, this was a bit serious.

Unlike Ms. Schell, who said Zach took Louise for granted. We knew that Louise wanted to be involved with Grande, and she fought for it herself. If Louise doesn't do anything in Grande, Zach has no problem at all, it's her own little bit of intelligence that infiltrates Grande's life, work, and even gray career, and Zach, who realizes Louise's sincerity, gives her the opportunity to infiltrate, which is not taken for granted.

So Schelle's words don't make sense at all except for their unwarranted malice.

But Mrs. Patton's words, Zach had to pay attention, because Zach was completely unaware of what he took for granted, "Why did Mrs. say that?"

"Let me ask you, on what basis do you think we West Side people will cooperate with you when you guided Lola to this decision?" Mrs. Patton asked, stopping the fork of food in her mouth and staring at Zach, "Huh, because you think it's good for the West Enders?"

Zack thought for a moment and nodded, isn't this a fact, shouldn't the public welfare projects that can make the third generation of the West Side stick to gold?

"Huh. Mrs. Patton put down the napkin in her hand, "Then let me tell you, the people of the West End don't need your childish 'advantage' at all!"

Zach frowned and looked at Mrs. Barton.

"We are Patton, Smith, Falken, Stone...... the surname that came out of Mrs. Patton's mouth, the surname that built the city, "We don't need anything to proclaim us! Even if we stand still, we can still represent the land, the city's everything! Even if our descendants do nothing, the city will still make their world!"

Zach understood.

"Are you telling me right now, do we really need your little, childish, child's play public good to show what we stand for?!"

No, you don't.

Why the people of the West Side cooperate with Zack, and those high-sounding reasons - public welfare, the charity of the people of the West Side, and the third generation of the West Side for the first time appeared in their own identity, it has nothing to do with it, it is only that they are too lazy to pay attention to the process, as long as the result is commissioned.

"So, Grande, when you didn't hide the process of the commission this time, and forced people outside of our commission to get involved, you were embarrassed to use 'trust' as a reason to excuse yourself, huh. ”

Halfway through the sentence, Mrs. Barton picked up the dishes again, replacing the rest of the time with the sound of chewing. (To be continued......)
