Than Sharp Manor, the atmosphere in the dining room is as bad as yesterday's dinner, the silent parents, the unappetizing Jackson.

Jackson wasn't quite sure if his cousin had pleased his mother this morning.

The content of the morning meeting was the shareholders' meeting of the Bishop Group, and he couldn't understand most of the content, but there was one sentence that he understood enough, that is, when her mother, Mrs. Bisharp, was questioned, she would look at the other party and reply, "Then I will go back and discuss it with my dear husband again, and I can give you an answer in the afternoon." ”

Looking at the atmosphere at the table in front of him, Jackson didn't think his parents would discuss anything.

Jackson didn't quite understand why he was asked to attend the meeting, and he just sat in the background like a painting, showing off his graduation gift, his tie, and that's it. His so-called appearance is nothing more than a posture of listening attentively.

In fact, his mind wasn't on a meeting that most of the content couldn't understand, he was thinking about a certain girl.

As now, when the atmosphere at the dinner table was so oppressive that Jackson, a half-grown boy, was uncomfortable, his brain began to run into a pleasant place, and he began to think about the girl.

The tape is the first date initiated by Elena, and the second time, as a man, you must take the initiative. It can't be the same as everyone else, it's the cliché, the boring playground, the movie theater, the ice cream...... I'm Jackson Bishop, and the date I started was supposed to be different from everyone else, and it was supposed to be memorable for Elena. ’

The footsteps of the maid sounded in the silent dining room, and the maid standing on the side of the table bowed her head slightly, apologized to the two masters (Bishop and his wife) for the sudden interruption, and then looked at Jackson, "Master Jackson." There is your phone. ”

Mrs. Bishop frowned, "Who would call at lunch, lack of upbringing." ”

The maid nodded again and replied to Madame's question, "She said her name is Elena, and she is Master Jackson's ......."

"Friends. Jackson came out of his own thoughts. "She's my friend, and we agreed that she would copy a graduation video for me to keep." Jackson looked at his mother, who had already put down the cutlery in his hand. As soon as the mother agreed, she would get up and leave.

Mrs. Bishop looked at her son, was silent for a moment, expressionless, and nodded. "Very thoughtful gesture, seems to be a good girl. It's me who is arbitrary, go answer the phone. ”

Jackson nodded in thanks, stood up, and motioned to the maid to leave the table for the time being. But the sound of standing up sounded again, and the main seat at the table was pushed away by the body, and the cutlery and napkins were impatiently thrown on the table, Jackson's father. Bishop, who was nominally the owner, used the same excuse as yesterday - to see his grandparents. Leave early.

Wouldn't even find his own reasons, Jackson didn't want to comment more, didn't want to look at it more, bypassed the table and followed the maid out of the dining room.

"Will she come and deliver the tape?" Mrs. Sharp did not seem to be unusual about her husband's departure, and did not even glance at the man who had sat down and left. Instead, he asked Jackson.

Jackson was stunned, the location of this first solo date had not yet been decided, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Mrs. Bisharp smiled, as if the smile was stiff from not using it for a long time. If you don't look closely, you can't find the slightly curved corners of your mouth, "Your friends are very welcome at home, you can let her come here." ”

It didn't take too long for Jackson to react, and in order not to make the atmosphere even more awkward, Jackson nodded, "I'll invite." ”

Mrs. Bishop nodded, and said no more.

The telephones in the dining room, in the cloisters, in the main hall, up to the foyer, are called external telephones, which are recorded in the telephone books of public resources, and in general open telephones in the public or in the register. The first person to answer is always the servant and the butler, and only after screening will it be decided whether there is any point worth wasting time on for the Bishop people to answer.

Jackson picked up the phone, "Elena." ”

"Oh, that's a long wait!" said a girl's voice through the earpiece, "how big is your house!"

Jackson smiled, "We're at lunch." Jackson's voice was a little quieter, "We don't usually answer the phone when we're eating. ”

"Oh, is it the 'tradition' of 'people like you' again?" asked with a smile, and there was no malice.

Jackson smiled, kind of self-deprecating, "Seems so." ”

Something, even if not malicious, is a trap in itself. The two little ones realized at the same time that no one wants to be called 'people like you' by others.

There was a little silence, and the people on both sides of the earpiece seemed to have no idea how to proceed with the topic at the same time.

Jackson pursed his lips, "Is the tape a copy ready?" "He's a boy, he should be embarrassed."

The girl on the other side of the earpiece was reminded, and her tone was a little strange, "Sorry, something happened...... Well, it's a small accident, not yet, but it should be done in the afternoon. I'm worried that you're in a hurry, so I'll give you a call first. ”

"Oh. Jackson answered, thinking about how to bring up the topic of where to go on a first date.

"Eh......" Elena in the earpiece stretched out her voice, "I'm thinking, Eh, do you have time in the afternoon?"

Regardless of the location, "there is time." "Let's make sure of that.

"I thought we might be able to meet at school. The voice in the earpiece was obviously a little nervous, and she seemed to want to make this mention sound more reasonable, and her voice trembled slightly, "After all, this is a graduation anniversary, can we take a final look at the former campus......

It's already out for the holidays and there won't be anyone else at school to disturb you. Jackson thought it was a great place, but he was also distressed that such a good location had been preempted, and the choice of a second date was a little more difficult.

"Good. The little annoyance was put aside for a moment, and Jackson agreed with a smile, "When, I can get someone to prepare something in advance." Jackson is already planning, "I should be able to borrow the key to the auditorium and show yesterday's video......"

"Will you take your attendant with you?" a little doubt appeared in the earpiece as Jackson had already begun to fully envision the entire trip.

Jackson shut up and frowned, and his eyes appeared as a driver, a security guard, and a servant...... The attendant, who was mixed with various identities, shook his head, "There is only one place where there will be no attendants to follow me, my family." ”

It's not that he didn't think of letting Blake, an adult peer, be a cover, but Jackson already knew about Blake's life, and he couldn't trouble the other party anymore.

The girl in the earpiece was silent for a while, and Jackson smiled again, "Come to my house, we can use my room as a classroom, the atrium as a playground, and the main hall as an auditorium, and you will find that my home is no different from the school......"

"Hehehe......" A laugh came from the earpiece, "Liar! I don't believe your house is that big~"

"Then you can refute me after you come and see it. (To be continued......)
