Chapter 56: A Floor Tile
"December 17th, cloudy."
The work notes were written with only one line and then disappeared.
Angelyl held her chin in her hands, sighed to herself, and then whispered a grumble.
"Business is really bad, it's all to blame on this hellish weather."
Poor business was certainly not the reason for her to be so depressed, and her real annoyance was that the third round of competition was about to begin, just two days later.
After Mr. Cuarón's return, the two weeks went by in a flash.
Every morning she was in charge of the firm's cases, and at noon she learned to cook with Mr. Cuarón.
In the afternoon, Mr. Oreo would reprimand himself for competitive training, and although he knew everything he said, Angelelle would pretend to hear it for the first time, and nod her head like a schoolboy.
If she didn't, Mr. Oreo would frown and reprimand her with something like you have to be the Black Queen.
Whenever this happens, Angelil will hold back a laugh and then stare intently at Oreo's face because the expression is really funny.
Thinking of this, Angelyl sighed again.
I used to think about it and thought it was funny, but why can't I laugh today......
She rested her cheek with one hand, and with the other she picked up the quill and spun it in mid-air, and before she could make two turns, the door of the office was pushed open, and it was Cuarón.
Seeing the large bag in the manservant's hand, Angelil hurriedly ran over and just reached out to take it, but Caron shook his head and motioned Angelil to leave him alone.
"The young master said that the third round of competition is imminent, so I asked me to make you something to eat in the next two days."
"That's ......"
Angelil replied, looking lost, "What about Mr. Oreo, where has he gone?" ”
“......”
Cuarón hesitated for a moment, then finally said.
"Mrs. Peggy seems to be in trouble, and Mr. Oreo is on his way to Sixth Street."
"Mom?"
Angelyl instantly became nervous, "What's wrong with her, should we both hurry over?" ”
"I met a few little minions who pestered her, and it was said that they were instructed by your competitors, so it's not a big deal......
As she spoke, Caron put the ingredients on the board, and before she could cook them, Angelil said in a panic.
"I should have known my mother was going to be in trouble, but why didn't she tell me, obviously because I ......"
With that, she lifted her head and looked at Caron with pleading eyes.
"Mr. Caron, can you take me with you, I'm worried about my mother."
Seeing Angelyl say this, Caron showed a look of relief, this naughty little girl can be regarded as sensible.
After a moment's hesitation, he whispered.
"If the young master asks, you will say that you heard it from other people's mouths."
"I know I know, I insisted on going, and I won't let Mr. Oreo blame you."
As she spoke, Angelyl put on a black trench coat, which she had made with Oreo not long ago.
Caron stepped out first, pulling the door open for Angelil, and when Angelyl was out, he turned around and locked the wooden door of the office.
The two of them quickly walked in the direction of Sixth Street, and Angelelle was asking questions all the way.
"Is it serious?"
"We also heard from the prostitutes who came back, and we don't know the specifics."
Angelyl frowned.
"Mom is really, she has to go and hand out flyers, so she doesn't believe in my ability."
Caron patiently explained.
"For the third round of competition, it is crucial to have the support of the nobles, and I think that's what Lady Peggy is worried about."
Although she knew this was the truth, Angelil would not admit it.
"What's the use of those stinky aristocrats supporting me, isn't there only one person who can get me in the end...... I mean after being the Black Queen. ”
If Oreo had been there, he would have lectured Angelille harshly, but Cuarón didn't do that.
Fortunately, the two had already arrived at the public carriage booth, waited for a while, and soon got on the public carriage to Sixth Street.
Peggy often handed out flyers in front of several famous theaters, and the two got off the carriage on Winchesterton Avenue and hurried towards Abby's Theater, as they had heard from a prostitute.
It's morning, and the Abby Theatre isn't performing, but the café is open in the morning.
As soon as the two entered the café, they saw a nobleman talking loudly, and Angelyl remembered where she had seen him.
"This house is my inheritance and my territory! If you make a mistake, you have to pay the price! This is clearly stated in the law of Turin! Therefore, the compensation of 10,000 gold coins must not be less, otherwise this woman will not want to walk out of the Abby Theater! ”
Oreo stood across from him, and he couldn't stop laughing.
"My lord, it's our fault, but isn't this compensation too high, if you're willing to lower it a little, I think we'll be happy to compensate you for your losses."
Angelyl pursed her lips as she walked briskly over and soon spotted Peggy's figure behind Oreo.
Peggy clearly knew she had made a mistake, and she stood behind Oreo, huddled in a ball, with a nervous expression that looked very funny.
Because the two of them had their backs to Angelil, it was the nobleman who spoke to her who discovered her first.
When he saw Angelil, his expression became more and more annoyed.
"You think this woman just stepped on a brick? The Abby Theatre is the most prestigious theatre on Sixth Street, and that floor tile is the face of the Abby Theatre!
If Father were here today, he would surely have trampled your face like that floor tile! Therefore, the compensation of 10,000 gold coins cannot be less! ”
“......”
Before coming, Oreo knew that this nobleman would use Peggy's affair to embarrass him, but he didn't expect this nobleman's mouth to open so wide.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth in embarrassment.
"But my lord, we can't come up with so much money at the moment, do you think we can reduce it a little bit as appropriate?"
"Yes."
The nobleman said unexpectedly, and Oreo was wondering what new terms he wanted to propose, and the next moment he saw him raise his right hand, pointing behind him.
"Then let your daughter pay off the debt, she can be worth about five hundred gold coins, and I think the price is very reasonable for the prostitutes of the third street."
Glancing at Angelyl, Oreo quickly turned around, his expression becoming more and more aggrieved.
"My lord, Angelelle is a competitor of the Black Queen, and she can be worth at least 20,000 gold coins."
The man said with a sneer.
"You mean I'm going to have to ask you for money?"
Oreo squeezed out a smile, and the smile felt reluctant to look at it.
"That's not what we mean......"
"I don't care what you mean, you have to give me the compensation today, anyway.
No, I'm only going to give you two hours, and after two hours I can't get the money, so I'll spend your daughter according to the market price...... Of course, you have to count the interest. ”
Hearing this, Peggy couldn't hold it anymore, and she pushed Oreo away, angrily waving the flyer in her hand.
"You're robbing money! It's just a broken brick, and since it cracked before I came, you're framing me!" ”
"You're actually saying I framed you?"
The man spread his hands and his expression exaggerated, "Do you mean everyone is blind?" ”
Hearing this, Oreo turned around, and he found that there was a large circle of people in the hall at some point, and it seemed that they were all of this man's men.
