Chapter 196: You Wait a While
The two female tenants listened to his question, you look at me, I look at you, and pushed each other with their eyes, but no one came out to answer.
So Richard's eyes fell on Jessica first.
He didn't ask directly, just patted his head and said, "Hey, Jesse, what's that...... I don't have a good memory lately, but do you still have a manuscript that's still in tow? Isn't it almost time to show me? ”
Jessica's body shook, and her expression was a little stiff: "Boss, you know...... You're intimidating......"
"What did you say?"
“…… It's nothing. Jessica whispered, "I said boss, you're so handsome." ”
"I love to hear the truth." Richard bowed slightly, but before Jessica could breathe a sigh of relief, he turned back to the conversation, "But you haven't answered my question yet." ”
Jessica was helpless: "It's nothing, boss, really." You trust me. ”
Richard squinted at her.
Oh, do you believe this?
Seeing that his teammates seemed to be unable to bear it, Gwen also said loudly at this time: "Boss, we really don't have anything." Although Jesse is not very reliable, and often speaks ill of you behind your back, and often skips work while you are away, this time she is really telling the truth......"
Jessica's eyelids jumped and she glared at her viciously.
You can speak for me, what does it mean to have such a long string of prefixes?
I didn't see it before, it turns out that your girl looks honest and well-behaved, but in fact, the golden retriever is black inside! You want to trap me to kill me so that I can monopolize the boss...... house, right?
Richard let out an "um" and looked at Gwen a little strangely.
Gwen actually helped Jessica speak, and when did these two girls actually get out of one nostril? What really happened when I wasn't home?
Forget it, anyway, he wasn't so boring and had to break the casserole to ask to the end, since they didn't want to talk about it, he wouldn't force it. Anyway, the eight achievements are a little secret of the two girls, and it's not a big deal.
Unexpectedly, the next day he knew what the little secret of the two girls was. What I didn't expect was that he was still the protagonist of the matter.
At dinner the next day, the two girls brought a large round box covered with a piece of cloth to the table. Jessica reached out and lifted the cloth, and Gwen lifted the lid, revealing a giant birthday cake.
Richard was stunned.
In all fairness, the cake actually looks a little ugly. The cream is not evenly spread, the fruit is not very neatly decorated, the letters "Happy Birthday" are also written crookedly, and there are even two slices of raw tomato at the top......
But what can be seen with the naked eye is that this cake is not customized from the outside, but made by the two girls with their own hands.
Then Richard suddenly remembered that today was his birthday.
In fact, after reasoning, he didn't care about such a thing as a birthday anymore, after all, he came to this other world alone, and there was no one to celebrate with him, and it was strange and lonely to celebrate his birthday alone, so he simply didn't want to do it. To him, his birthday was just a number written in his file, and he forgot it over time.
He really didn't expect that in this time and space, there would be people who would remember his birthday.
He glanced at the two girls in front of him, one big and one small, and involuntarily chuckled.
These two girls......
Honestly, it feels pretty good.
It felt like home.
Richard touched his nose: "It's a shame that you still know my birthday......"
"Of course." Jessica puffed up her magnificent chest, a little proud, "I'm a professional." ”
Gwen muttered quietly: "Actually, it's obviously a Twitter reminder ......"
Jessica's face darkened: "If you don't speak, no one will be dumb for you." Can't you just be a quiet bug on the side once in a while? ”
Gwen argued: "Spiders are arthropods, not insects. ...... of junior high school biology students"
Jessica smiled. Why are you talking so vaguely? Doesn't that mean I didn't listen to the lectures in junior high school?
Then let me tell you, sister, I haven't heard it since elementary school......
"You two really have a heart." Richard smiled and said seriously, "Thank you. ”
Gwen waved her hand, "No. Mr. Li, you usually really take care of us, and we are all grateful, but we haven't been able to do anything about it. That's the least we can do......"
Jessica muttered: "Yes, it's often eccentric, and I can't walk when I see underage girls......"
Richard smiled: "What did you say?" ”
Jessica immediately put on a sweet and touching smile: "I said boss, you are so good, the most fair and upright person I have ever met." ”
Richard bowed his head again.
This girl is obviously not ignorant. I just don't know why I always like to be crazy on the verge of deducting salary, is it for the pursuit of excitement?
Richard looked at the colorful, messy cake in front of him. Although he was very touched by the hearts of the two girls, this one really didn't make people feel appetizing......
"Well, since it's my birthday, can I make a small request?"
Gwen and Jessica looked at each other.
"What?"
"This is the cake...... Can I stop eating......"
Gwen: "......"
Jessica: "......"
Well, of course, it's just talking, after all, the two girls have been busy with the results of these days, and this bit of face still has to be given.
Don't say it, although this cake is not very attractive, the taste is actually acceptable, at least Richard thinks there is nothing to be dissatisfied with.
The three of them were eating when the doorbell rang suddenly. Richard got up to answer the door, opened it, and found that the visitor outside the door turned out to be Murakami, one of the two fingers left of the Hand Clan.
Murakami saluted very politely: "Hello, Mr. Li." I didn't bother you, did I? ”
Although it was unfortunate how this guy could find his door, the hand-held had been very polite to them since the last time they interacted with them, and even occasionally helped their newspaper reporter when he encountered some minor trouble in the investigation. Although it was a trivial favor for the Hand Alliance, it was a sign of their friendliness.
So Richard politely let him in, and then returned to the table.
"Who?" Jessica asked with a creamy mouth.
"Just a friend." Richard casually pointed to the couch, "Sit down." ”
Murakami smiled and waved his hand: "No need, I'll just stand." ”
"That's fine."
So Richard sat down at the table by himself, put Murakami aside and continued to eat the cake: "Then you stand a little longer, I'll finish eating at once." ”
Murakami: "......"
