18 Elevators
The capacity of the elevator is so small, so when Emilia insisted on pulling Zack and grabbed the small space where there were already a few old people in the West Side, Zack raised his eyebrows, should Amilia's purpose be so obvious......
Quinn, Mrs. Barton, who was already very familiar with Zack, watched Zack being pulled in by a strange woman, and looked at each other strangely.
Well, the careful thinking of these two parties can't change the fact that the elevator capacity is already there, and there are already two bodyguard-like people looking at Emilia expressionlessly, "Miss, please ......"
Mrs. Quinn waved her hand and glanced at Zack, "It's just an elevator." "Mrs. Quinn doesn't feel any danger in sharing the elevator with someone who has miraculous healing powers (Zach had saved Mrs. Quinn's caretaker, Amanda), and everyone knows each other so well.
It's an intimate space that's perfect for talking. Mrs. Quinn's gaze at Zach conveyed the message well, and then turned her gaze to Mrs. Barton and the other old gentleman.
Mrs. Patton is familiar to us, so let's guess the identity of another old gentleman. The skin is covered with wrinkles and spots, but under the straight bridge of the nose, the white beard is carefully trimmed and bent into a small horn. At this time, the old gentleman looked at Zack, smiled slightly, and the black cane turned slightly, and the golden 'Falken' turned around with the cane in Zack's sight.
Zach already had a bottom in his heart, because this old gentleman, who was apparently the first generation of Falcen, had a smile full of kindness, which meant that he was satisfied. In other words, Lola's project is going very well, and these people from the West End are 'on board'.
Mrs. Patton pursed her lips, and she seemed not very pleased.
This is understandable.
Falken's commission, but inexplicably pulled her Lola in. Still pushed to the front. While I have to praise Zach for his wonderful way of doing things, there are still some small unpleasantness.
After all, there is one thing to consider, Lola is the one who pulled Capler as a friend. And the attributes of [Parker Elementary School] gave the two little guys of the Falken family a chance to get involved.
If this commission goes well, well done. All third generations of the West Side will be able to profit from this project, which is manifested as a philanthropic heart for the people of the West Side, but is actually just an action to improve personal relationships. But if it doesn't do well, Lola, as the initiator of the project, is the one who is responsible.
Of course, people in the West End can't be so negative. Mrs. Barton thinks about these things at most, Lola has made up her mind, she is naturally supportive, and what is needed at this time is to communicate with Zach about the specific content. After all, Grande used the Barton family to carry out Falcen's commission, and certain things must be made clear. For example, boundaries should be understandable that Zach can't be allowed to abuse Lola's friendship with Grande.
Mrs. Barton glanced at Zack, stood slightly in front of several old men, approached Zack, and was about to open her mouth......
"You!" Emilia beside Zack suddenly turned Zakla, who was about to face Mrs. Barton, behind her, and stiffly blocked Zack, "You must be Mrs. Quinn!"
Mrs. Barton, who had just stood in front of her, frowned. Glancing at Emilia as she crossed herself, she looked behind her at Lady Quinn's gaze. Here is the elevator. The space is so big, someone must retreat to feel the atmosphere.
Mrs. Barton didn't back away, and looked past Emilia, who was already close to her, to Zack, who was behind him with an eyebrow, obviously asking for an explanation.
Zach tugged at the corners of his mouth. Just opened his mouth, at least, to at least explain that this impolite female companion had just been picked up in the hall......
"I have always admired your deeds!" said Emilia, looking at Mrs. Quinn with a blank look, "for the charity of the veterans. I'm ......"
"Miss. Mrs. Patton's gaze was unfocused, "You're in my way." "Don't forget, this is the old woman who uttered 'Barton's disgrace' and threw her grandson west with the same name as the city.
"Hug, sorry......" Emilia subconsciously stepped back, but this was the elevator, and she didn't have much room to retreat.
Zach hugged Emilia, "I'm sorry. Zach, who was smiling, nodded to the old men, "I should introduce it to everyone." Zach didn't give anyone much room to react, "This is Dr. Browning, and I'm attending a luncheon today as a female companion of a certain gentleman, and I just met by chance, temporarily as an escort. ”
Do you know the reason why Zach said this? not to prove that this impolite woman is not boring with herself, but to remind Mrs. Barton that the progress of the commission is on point, and the detailed conversation is not suitable now, this woman is not our Grande's people. Can't say too much about the intimate things of the West End in front of this woman.
Zach kept smiling, helped Emilia, and pointed to Mrs. Patton, "This is Mrs. Patton, you are a little too abrupt, she is not Mrs. Quinn, Mrs. Quin is this one." Zach's hand reached out to the real Lady Quinn behind her.
Zach, of course, knew that Emilia didn't recognize the wrong person, and did it on purpose, in order to give Emilia a chance to defend herself.
Amilia's face turned ugly, and she bent down to apologize to Mrs. Barton, who had barely refocused her gaze in the narrow elevator, "Really, I'm sorry, I'm not mistaken. But, I'm really sorry! I didn't recognize you, Mrs. Patton!"
Zach smiled awkwardly, "Ah, I'm sorry, I thought you were mistaken. "Zach's acting skills don't need to be described," Mrs. Quinn only appeared in the newspaper not long ago, and I don't think it's possible to admit it, hehehe. ”
Mrs. Patton's gaze shifted slightly, and her face improved slightly, and Zach reminded her again, don't blame others for not knowing you, how long have you old men of the West Side not appeared in the media?!
Zach still saved Emilia once after all, whether he can improve Amilia's impression of him, let's see later.
At this time, Emilia was obviously aware of Zack's help, pursed her lips, and glanced at Zach. Silently retreated behind Zach and stopped talking. Needless to say, the atmosphere was so weird, no matter what her purpose was when she wanted to deliberately approach Mrs. Quinn, she had no chance at this time.
The elevator with a slight roar stopped, and the eerie atmosphere that lasted only for a moment found an exit as the door opened, and disappeared immediately.
Zach looked at the old man of the West Side, who slowly moved out of the elevator and was immediately overwhelmed by the rush of people, and suddenly understood the reason for Emilia's previous recklessness, because the opportunity might be this one.
Naturally, Zach and Emilia stayed in the elevator until the end of the day, "What do you want to do? Maybe I can help you." Zach made a friendly offer, "You've probably heard of Grande's side hustle, I'm much more convenient than you are to talk to these people." I'd love to help if I can. ”
Emilia looked at Zack, was silent for a moment, and nodded. (To be continued......)
