Chapter Thirty-Six: The Idea of a Woman Being Different

Khomeenes spent two hours painting her makeup carefully, fearing that her makeup would be too light and revealing the slightest flaw, and that it would be too thick and too glamorous.

She tried on clothes in front of the closet for another hour, torn between a solemn purple-black pleated skirt and a lively pale green dress, or she wanted to wear a white miniskirt to support her beautiful legs.

But it all came up in a text message from Leon, who said he was going to fly to Sydney immediately to get in touch with Dennis Rodman, the team's newly traded player.

Denis Rodman Khomeenes is very familiar, and no basketball fan in the United States will be unfamiliar with him, but now Khomeenes hates Rodman to death and hates why he went to Australia, so Leon has to leave by plane just after returning to Boston.

She was also a little annoyed with Leon himself, and said that she would start dating tonight after returning to Boston, but after canceling for some reason, she didn't even want to make a phone call, but just sent a text message lukewarmly. Homomenes was accustomed to Leon's unsalty attitude, he always cherished words in text messages, and the number of phone calls was even less pitiful, but every word he said never nonsense in Holmenez's eyes, whenever Holmenez had something on her mind to tell Leon, he could always give her the response she wanted as soon as possible.

Some people can't poke her heart with 10,000 words, but Leon can often hit the bull's-eye with one sentence.

"I'm having some trouble with the visa issue, and it's not convenient to call, so don't be impatient." Just when Khomeenes was a little annoyed, Leon's next text message came again, which quickly extinguished the unhappiness in Khomeenez's heart.

Now that her mind is all about not being able to see Leon, it doesn't matter what kind of makeup she wears, and it doesn't matter what kind of clothes she wears. She wiped off her delicate makeup with cleansing oil, put the clothes back in the closet, picked out a white T-shirt and put it on her body, and then sat on the sofa with her legs crossed in a daze.

With her legs folded and her body together, Khomemenis slammed her chin against her smooth knees, wondering if she could do something to end the predicament of not seeing Leon for so long.

Khomeenez was not born into an ordinary family, her parents divorced when she was three years old, and her mother later married a cigar merchant and left her for Bolivia; And her father's name is Stephen Pagliuca, the CEO of an investment company and a well-known billionaire in Boston. Khomeenez was his eldest daughter, but she did not take her father's or mother's surname, but her grandmother's surname, so many people did not know that Pagliuca had such a daughter, and he and his second wife already had five children.

However, Pagliuca has always loved this eldest daughter and felt guilty about her, so he has always provided for her to go to the best school, given her enough pocket money every month, and often visited her. Khomemenez doesn't hate her father, especially as she gets older and more mature, but there is always a lack of intimacy between her and Pagliuka, for example, she never calls him "Daddy", but calls him Pagliuca.

The house where Khomeenes lives was also bought directly by Pagliuca, although she has always lived in it under the guise of renting, and has a not-so-reliable swinger roommate who likes to bring men back, but this is also a good cover for Khomeenez.

This family experience made Khamenes both tall and a little inferior, she longed for friends, love and affection, so she always showed her warm and lively face at school, and often gave some young and excited boys the illusion that "she can handle it well"; But as soon as they tried to get in touch more deeply, they ran into a cold wall that kept them out completely.

Those hormonally manipulated boys only have Khomenes' sweet face and sexy long legs in their eyes, and they are keen on some childish games of chasing girls, and like to show off their cool temperament in front of girls, which may be useful for some equally simple and curious girls, but it cannot arouse Khomeenez's interest. This girl who lacks fatherly love needs a strong and mature arm.

When she saw the scars on Leon's body that night, she was undoubtedly struck by the tragic romance she had imagined in her head, so she almost burst into tears, how could such a body be found by those little children? At that moment she was subdued, and although she hadn't seen Leon since that night and could only contact him on her mobile phone, she knew that her heart had gone with him.

At the moment, she kept imagining all kinds of possibilities in her mind to help Leon. Women's ideas are often beyond the imagination of ordinary people, especially when it comes to love, which can be described as crazy.

A crazy idea also came to Khomeenez's head, not to go to Sydney with Leon, but to buy the Boston Celtics!

"In this way, you can not let him be a scout, but change to another job, at least you can stay in Boston with peace of mind!" Khomeenes thought so, this is what a woman thinks, for the sake of the man she likes, she did not choose to let him change jobs, but directly bought his company.

Of course, Khomeenes couldn't buy Celtic, but his father could.

Khomemenes had long heard that the current owner of the Celtics, Paul Gasstone, wanted to sell the Celtics, and that he wanted to sell them to a local consortium in Boston, and Pagliuca undoubtedly had the financial resources to buy a piece of the Celtic operation, and now the question is whether he wants to do it or not.

Khamenez was a man of her word, and since her date with Leon was canceled, she dialed Pagliuca's cell phone, which she hadn't called since Pagliuca told her the number.

"Khomemenes? What's wrong? Pagliuca was visibly surprised when he received the call, and when he saw Khomeinith's phone number displayed on his phone, his first reaction was that something had happened to his daughter.

But when she learned that her daughter wanted to have dinner with her, she was even more shocked than she heard that her daughter had been kidnapped, and then he quickly showed a flattered look, hung up the phone, hurriedly booked the hotel, and called the hotel to inform the hotel to make Holmenez's favorite dishes, and then turned down a charity dinner to attend in the evening, and drove to Holmenez's house early to pick her up.

Pagliuca was born in 1955, with a smiling face, looks like a good man, but in fact is a sophisticated investment master, he came to Bain Investment in 1989 as a general manager, he was very prescient to put the main body of investment in the development of the information service industry and the never-outdated health industry, which made Bain from 7 billion assets to 50 billion, but also owned the company's shares.

In terms of personal family life, except for the first failed marriage, his current family is very happy, with three sons, two daughters, and an ordinary but virtuous wife, so his only knot in his heart is the eldest daughter of Khomeenes.

When he arrives at the hotel with his daughter for dinner, he has mixed feelings when she tells him that she wants him to pay for the Celtics just because he wants one of the Celtics' scouts to spend more time in Boston.

As a father, he sees in Khomemenes the shadow of her mother, who also does crazy things for love, and even abandons the family in the end, which makes him heartbroken. At the same time, his daughter took the initiative to ask him to dinner for the first time in so many years, and it turned out to be for another man, which made his heart sour.

As an investor, he was a little moved, not because of his daughter's sudden proposal, as early as the beginning of the year when the Celtics broke the news of the sale, Pagliuca began to consider buying Celtic, although he could not buy Celtic independently with his financial resources, but he could work with others.

Pagliuca was also a varsity basketball player in high school, and he was also a baseball enthusiast, and although he worked in the financial industry, he never gave up his love of sports. From an investor's point of view, the sports industry is also a very tasty piece of cake, and as an NBA team with the longest tradition and the most illustrious history, the Celtics are undoubtedly a premium asset.

After the death of its previous owner, Donald Gaston, Donald's son, Paul Gasstone, inherited the Celtics, and as a result, he issued indiscriminate bonds and indiscriminately directed the construction of the team, plunging the traditional giants into the dark ages, and now the big gamble on Pitino is also about to fail, and Gaston's passion for basketball has come to an end.

"I'll seriously consider your suggestion, Khomemenes, but shall we have a good meal now? Or you can talk about that scout, I remember his name was Fox Leon. Pagliuca said to his daughter, who noticed that when Leon was mentioned, her daughter's expression would be different.

"Let's not talk about him for now, we'll have a chance to mention him later, Dad."
