Abel didn't lie to David.

The date he had at noon was really not a Hollywood actress.

It's a New York socialite.

It's in the upper class of New York,

D. Ikanna Lerner, who is much more famous than her own father, D. Ted Lerner.

It's been almost half a month since I last met Ikana.

This time, Abel asked her out to have lunch together.

The place for lunch was a three-star tire restaurant on the Upper East Side, "Modern Hotel's Steakhouse".

That's right, the name of the restaurant is "The Steakhouse of the Modern Hotel".

The English word is Steak shop in a modern hotel, which is a literal translation of the name.

The people of the Celestial Empire look weird, but the names of many shops and companies in Lao Mei are actually like this.

This shop focuses on the beautiful view overlooking Central Park,

and a variety of delicious steaks and American dining.

The price is actually not expensive, and the per capita consumption is about 90$.

Well, for the average American salaryman.

It's still quite expensive.

The restaurant was chosen by Abel, who loved the steaks.

But the position was chosen by Ikana, and it was up to her to decide.

"The chef of this restaurant used to work in my house."

Sitting across from Abel, today's Ikana, dressed in a white blouse with a hint of purple, and a short lilac skirt with a slight swaying skirt.

Her beautiful long blonde hair was draped around her waist, and her large blue eyes were unfathomable.

He was wearing white high heels on his feet, estimated to be 10 centimeters.

Matching her height,

Abel felt that when she stood up at this time, she might not be shorter than herself.

This is also a standard Yanma, a little taller than the 178cm Liv Taylor.

Very beautiful, very modern woman, very elaborate dress and makeup.

"I love the steaks here." Able smiled and admired her obviously delicately groomed countenance, and said:

"A lot of people like steaks that are medium-rare, medium-rare, medium-rare, or even medium-rare.

Maybe I'm weird, I like fully cooked. ”

"It just so happens that this restaurant can make the steak fully cooked, and it can also ensure a certain tenderness."

"That's why I like to come here to eat."

Listening to Abel's request for steak, D. Ikanna Lerner was slightly surprised.

Her father's love for steak is also fully cooked.

That's why the chef of this restaurant was invited to be her family's private chef.

But that was years ago.

At that time, the chef was not so famous.

Later, when her father went bankrupt for the seventh time, he couldn't afford to hire a private chef.

The chef, who was able to make a fully cooked steak soft and tender, left Lerner's house.

She smiled and said, "Okay." This hobby of yours is good.

Eat cooked food, which is easier to digest. It's better for the body. ”

Abel shrugged as the waiter from the restaurant approached.

"Good afternoon, Sir and Madam." Nice waitress smiling and excellent service attitude.

But her service was interrupted.

A male chef in his fifties with a top hat appeared behind her.

"Lena, let me come." The cook smiled and said to the maid.

"Chef Stephen?!" The waiter said in surprise.

"Let me do it, okay? Lena. ”

"Okay."

The waitress hurriedly left, she couldn't afford to mess with the most important chef in the restaurant.

"Mr. Smith, the old rules are right?" After the waitress Lina walked away in surprise.

The chef, dressed in a chef's costume, smiled and spoke in front of Abel and D. Ikana Lerner.

"Mr. Stephen?" Seeing the chef, Ikana whispered surprise.

"You know? Oh, Stephen used to be your dad's cook. ”

Abel smiled beside him, and continued:

"That's right, the old rules are good.

Other than that.... Dear Stephen, how are you thinking about it? ”

It's not clear what Abel's "old rules" are.

She was more curious now about what Abel asked Stephen to consider.

"Think it through." Seeing the chef of this restaurant, Stephen responded with a smile:

"Mr. Smith, I would love to work for you.

I have submitted my resignation to my ex-boss, the day after tomorrow at the latest.

I'll be able to report from you. ”

"Great."

Abel smiled and said, "That way, I can eat the steak you cooked every day." ”

"It's a great honor~" Stephen said with a slight bend and a smile.

"You..."

Ikana said in a surprised tone.

"Just like you think." Abel smiled, "I especially like Stephen's cooking.

I extended an invitation to him last week.

Apparently, Stephen agreed to my request. ”

"Yes." Stephen smiled and said, "I've submitted my resignation." ”

When Ikana heard this, she didn't know what to say.

After a few seconds, she said leisurely:

"If that's the case. Abel, the owner of this restaurant is going to hate you to death. ”

"That's none of my business." Abel shrugged:

"Stephen would be more than happy to work for me. That proves that the conditions on my side are more attractive to Stephen. ”

"Are you right? Stephen. ”

"You're right. Mr. ”

Seeing Stephen so cooperative, the protagonist smiled and said, "Let's help this lady order food first." ”

"Okay."

"Lady Ikana." Stephen apparently remembered Ikana, and he smiled and said, "What would you like to eat?" Is it the same as before? ”

"Yes." Ikana said, "Please give me seven minutes..... Never mind. ”

She reflexed, "Bring me a fully cooked steak too." ”

She suddenly wanted to try her father's and Abel's favorite flavors.

"Okay. I'll arrange it. Mr. Smith, please wait a moment. ”

"No problem."

Stephen left.

Ikana couldn't help but look at Abel, who was looking down on Central Park.

This gave her a chance to take a good look at the other party secretly.

This man has many typical Anglo-Saxon characteristics.

Blonde, blue-eyed, white-skinned, tall and strong, with slightly droopy outer eyelids and sunken eye sockets, i.e., slightly triangular eyes.

But this triangular eye will not make his eyes look small.

Instead, his eyes looked hawkish and aggressive.

His face was vertical, like a knife, and there was no obvious abruptness other than a straight nose.

Unlike her slightly rounded Germans, the Ansar looks more aggressive on the outside.

From the perspective of physiology and ethnicity, Ikana psychologically made such an evaluation of Abel's appearance.

Aesthetically, the Anglo-Saxons rarely produce beautiful men.

But Abel in front of him is different,

She felt that the man in front of her was very handsome.

At the same time, he is full of manliness and is impeccable in appearance.

It's in the Ansar race, and it's not a very common beautiful man.

"Look below."

Suddenly, Ikana heard Abel say this.

At the same time, the gaze returned to her.

She hurriedly withdrew the look of appreciating the "beauty" just now, and subconsciously responded, "Huh? ”

Abel snickered in his heart, although his attention was below just now.

But Ikana's eyes and small movements in a daze were also in her eyes.

He didn't debunk the other party, but pointed to the window and downstairs.

It was Central Park, a vacant lot in front of the building where the restaurant was located.

Ikana's eyes followed the direction he was pointing, and saw that it was a fenced building site.

The area is not large, estimated to be about 10,000 square feet, and it may be smaller.

There is a fence outside, an open space inside to store some building materials and tools, and a small excavator.

It's not elegant at all.

It greatly spoils the atmosphere of the restaurant's location for guests to enjoy Central Park.

"What's wrong? A clearing, I remember, seems to be...."

She carefully recalled it, and then said: "It is the land of Teplan Real Estate Group, which has been vacant for two years because of the entanglement of property rights. ”

"Hmm." Abel nodded, and suddenly said, "If you build a skyscraper on this land."

With it just across the street from Central Park, you're sure to make a lot of money. ”
