Chapter 146: Ringing ......
Beckland, inside the villa at 28 Kings Street.
When Abner brought Hugh back, he arranged for her to go to rest first, while he continued to deal with the backlog of official duties.
After all, the territory of Berdan was in ruins, and the "film and television company" on Rune's side lacked subordinates like Elaine, so even if Abner had organized a professional team to assist him in management, it still seemed to be stretched.
He can now say that there is an urgent need for employees who are capable, well-connected, and can be trusted.
"There are too few people who come from a big family like Elaine and are dedicated and capable!" Abner sighed secretly and threw himself into his work.
On the other hand, Hugh Dilcha, after putting down her luggage, did not rest immediately, but asked the servant who had put the bath water for her, "What room is Falth Wall in?" ”
- Since Abner became a viscount and hired a professional butler, Walter, the division of duties among the servants in the household has also become clearer, unlike the previous Skader couple, who took care of almost all the household chores with a few handymen.
The maid who was questioned had been working in Abner's house for a long time, and obviously knew what the relationship between Miss Hugh and Miss Folth was, so she gave guidance without much hesitation.
Hugh thanked her, took a brief bath, and then came to the room where the maid had been directed.
She knocked on the door, but received no response, so she opened the door and walked in - she had a lot of charms that Abner had prepared for her, and "open the door" was the most common one.
This bedroom is not big, but it can be seen that it has been renovated according to Foirth's preferences, and it is very much in her style.
For example, the sofa next to the desk, this is so that she can lie down after she is tired of writing;
For another example, on the two small tables next to the sofa, one is full of all kinds of magazines, and the other is stacked with many snacks and drinks, which are obviously prepared for her "fishing".
On the table, a few pages of manuscripts are scattered around, and the words "shipwreck in the ice sea" can be vaguely seen on the top one.
Hugh glanced at the manuscripts, and then looked at Furth, who was lying on the bed and sleeping soundly, and his frowning brows gradually relaxed, guessing that his friend should be in a hurry before the deadline again, so he didn't get up at this time.
She picked up a page of manuscript on the table at random and read a few sentences, but she didn't think that this text was about the hero and heroine being chased and hiding in a carriage......
Looking at the heart-pounding scene that Foirth depicted, Hugh's cheeks turned red, and then, without knowing what to think, he quickly picked up the manuscript in front of him and read it from the beginning.
When he found out that this was a "normal" love story, Hugh breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, with the development of the film and television industry, some newly formed similar companies have not been able to compete with the "Bryan Film and Television Company", so many of them have started to shoot some despicable scenes and screen them in some hidden theaters.
Hugh had previously smashed two of these companies when he was in East Chester County and had completed the "punishment."
She was just afraid that Abner wanted to harvest that part of the market, so she asked Furth to help write the script...... Now it seems that I am overly worried.
"Yes, how could Abner be so dirty? Foirth is also proud of his identity as a writer, and he would not write anything like that!
"What's more, I don't think that type of film has a script at all......
"Hey, the high-intensity 'punishment' for more than a month, although the effect is very good, it still brings me some mental problems...... For example, everyone looks like a criminal, and wants to punish everything......
"According to Abner, what is it called 'post-war psychological syndrome'?
"It's no wonder that both Abner and 'Sun' have emphasized when talking about 'acting', 'just playing'!"
While Hugh was thoughtful, he thought that after giving Abner a birthday surprise in the early morning, he might be able to make an appointment with him for "psychotherapy".
But now it is necessary to wake up Furth first, even if she stays up all night to catch up on the manuscript, it will be too much to sleep until the afternoon.
Thinking of this, Hugh walked to the bed, directly lifted Folth's sheets, pushed her and said, "Foreth, it's time to get up!" ”
Wearing a pale yellow nightdress, Fur wanted to snatch the quilt back, but he was empty, so he had to clump his body together while shouting "let me sleep a little longer" in a daze.
Seeing this, Hugh was silent for a few seconds, and then the invisible spiritual whip was raised high above the "soul" of Folth.
Half-asleep and half-awake, Furth instantly felt the crazy warning from inspiration, and suddenly a stirring spirit completely woke up.
However, she still didn't have much vigilance, and it wasn't until she saw who the person at the head of the bed was that she was surprised: "Hugh, why are you?" ”
"So, who do you think it is?" Hugh raised an eyebrow and asked rhetorically.
Furth laughed dryly, but did not answer, then put on his shoes and got out of bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up, and then came back with the Feneport pie and the sweet iced tea prepared by the servant and put it on the table, and asked as he ate:
"Hugh, didn't you come back in the afternoon?"
- The Fenerport pie is the kind of pie that Miss Judy mentioned is better than Dixie's pie, and Abner teleports to Fenerport City out of curiosity to buy some of them.
"It's already afternoon! You don't look at what time it is? Hugh said angrily.
Foirth glanced at the wall clock, patted his head and said, "I've had an irregular schedule lately, and time has been a little reversed." ”
Hugh took this opportunity to criticize her a few more words, and then looked at the food on the table:
"This kind of food should not be eaten often, it is not very healthy."
"Why do you say that?" Furth took a piece of pie studded with fruit and ham and took a bite.
"What I read in the magazine, if you want to keep in shape, you should touch less of these oily and watery foods." Hugh replied.
"As long as you exercise more, it's not a problem!
"And you're a combat class, so you don't have to be too deliberate to keep in shape." Furth laughed and said.
Hugh glanced his friend up and down a few times, and asked inexplicably, "So, you've been exercising a lot lately?" ”
Furth was stunned for a second, and then said as a matter of course: "Of course, I ran all over the Northern Continent in order to play it!" ”
After saying that, she ate the pie in two or three, and after cleaning it up, pulled Hugh to the side of the bed, cleared her throat and said:
"To celebrate your return, I have decided to give you a gift."
"You're in trouble and need me to clean up the mess? Or did you do something that I need to hide and feel guilty? Hugh looked warily at his friend.
"......" Furth blinked, suddenly reflecting on his state.
She coughed and pulled out a piece of parchment from the small cupboard at the bedside.
Hugh glanced at it curiously, then his face changed, and he asked urgently, "Where did you get this?" ”
There was a piece of information on the parchment, a piece of information about the "Sherman".
According to the intelligence, Sherman inquired about the preferences of the chief of the palace guard, Viscount Stafford on the side.
"This is information that I got by chance when I was 'astrologizing' for people, and because it involves the viscount who may be related to your father's death, I paid special attention to it and recorded it."
That is, the future Sherman, no, is Sherman's mistress the Viscount of Stafford ? He really knows the truth about my father's unjust case!
Hugh nodded thoughtfully, and then said solemnly to Folsi, "Don't get involved in this matter anymore, it's dangerous!"
"Also, if you're going out lately, you'd better go with Abner."
Seeing that her friend was serious, Furth also responded kindly, anyway, she usually doesn't go out much except for playing with Abner.
Hugh then put away the parchment, thanked Firth, and asked, "Tomorrow is Abner's birthday, and since you have prepared a gift for me, have you not forgotten him?" ”
"Of course I didn't forget!" Foirth smiled, and took out a small box from the bedside cabinet again, which contained a delicate cuff with a mysterious pattern.
Hugh stared at the armnail and was silent for a long time, until Firth asked "what's wrong?" and then took out a box from the pouch at her waist.
When it was opened, a cuff stud, which was identical in style and pattern, appeared.
……
Late at night, early in the morning.
Abner, who was releasing the "Nightingale of Despair" and studying the mythical form of the "witch's" path, suddenly heard a knock on the bedroom door and window at the same time.
