Knowing that the ghost was approaching, she stiffened in fright. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info What scientists shouldn't believe in ghosts and deists has long been thrown out of the clouds. She knew what she was seeing, all she could think of was running, trying to run away, but she couldn't move.

Zhou Jia felt that his face had lost its blood, and his sense of fear gradually increased under the pressure of each step. The whole room began to spin, and her mind seemed to be hollowed out, empty and heavy......

Facing the woman in the dark, Zhou Jia asked, "Who are you?"

Then, there was only a long, silent void.

She didn't know what happened after that. Early the next morning, Zhou Jia woke up to find himself lying on a fluffy bed.

Zhou Jia lifted the sheet and found that he was still wearing the bathrobe. She thought to herself: I don't know if yesterday was my bad luck day, and I was in a crazy event all day, and I was overwhelmed. In the middle of the night, I even bumped into ghosts!

The ghost incident simply challenged Zhou Jia's cognitive bottom line. Yesterday's self was flustered, and there was no reason or logic at all. Unconvinced, she rolled over and got out of bed.

I opened the curtains and found that it was already bright outside.

At this moment, Hattie walked into the room. Seeing a ray of sunshine falling on Zhou Jia's face, the beauty looked even more charming. She was dressed in a bathrobe that the hotel had provided for herself, loose and baggy, with rows of purple marks on the back of her neck, which were the kiss marks he had made, and he was pleased with his work. His thighs showed his skin moderately, and he couldn't think of anyone who could wear such an ordinary bathrobe so attractively.

He felt incredible to think that she had taken the initiative last night to make him so excited. And now, as long as I look at her so quietly, my chest is as happy as a balloon about to explode, and I seem to have suddenly returned to the boyhood when I was about to fall in love. Getting her was a must-do, but he found out more and more that he had unexpectedly gained a treasure. That's why at yesterday's White House dinner, I was eager to tell the world that she belonged to her.

Hatty's pupils widened as Zhou Jia turned and paced towards herself, and she didn't know why she looked more shy and cute than last night.

Zhou Jia asked a little embarrassedly: "Yesterday...... At night...... You carried me back to bed?"

Hattie laughed even more happily and teased, "Go back to bed......"

"It's not...... ...... before" Zhou Jia immediately understood the ambiguity of this sentence, she didn't hide her embarrassment, and hurriedly explained: "I mean, I went to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I was supposed to ...... I didn't know anything later...... Why do you get to bed in the morning?"

He deliberately made a state of panic: "Could it be that my fiancée has nocturnal syndrome?"

"Oh my God, please don't make a fuss. She said urgently, "I'm serious." ”

Hatti looked at her seriousness and thought, "When I wake up in the morning, you sleep next to me, and I don't know when you've been to the bathroom." ”

Zhou Jia's eyes widened, a little surprised, and a little disappointed, she muttered, "What the hell is going on?"

Suddenly, she remembered something and turned and walked to the bed. Pulling open the safe hidden behind the portrait, he opened it with great speed, and the magnetic stripe and the box containing the black kryptonite were left untouched. She has a unique direction and angle when she is placed, and she can see it at once if others have moved it or not.

Isn't that really a living hell?

"Gurgling......" Zhou Jia was already hungry, and his stomach made a voice again to protest.

Her cheeks were slightly red, and she felt like she was always making a fool of herself.

Hattie shook her head slightly, turned and walked away.

"Wait. She stopped him, "Where are you going?"

"I'll go and ask them to bring breakfast in. Well, I know, it's me who makes you so tired...... Therefore, let me serve my princess, which can be regarded as reparation!"

"No...... No need......" Zhou Jia felt that he needed to change the environment and breathe a sigh, "I want to eat in the restaurant." ”

Hatti nodded.

Zhou Jia locked the safe first, cautiously walked to the door of the bathroom, and dared to probe in, there was nothing inside, bright and clean.

Hattie stood aside and observed Zhou Jia. The expression on her face changed more than yesterday, and she always felt that there were countless things in her body that made her curious. And this feeling made him want to stop.

Zhou Jia thought to herself: Am I really too tired and have a nightmare?

Her gaze was fixed on the corner where the noble lady's ghost stood, as if she felt the biting cold again. No, it was too real for her to be mistaken!

Zhou Jia was wearing a light beige silk dress, the ribbons on her shoulders were naturally knotted, and the graceful curves loomed under the cover of the silk. The black hair was casually curled in a small bun and fixed with a jade hairpin.

Originally, he was worried about dining with Hatty, so he would have a high-profile private meeting, but fortunately, the Hayer Adams Hotel has a private dining room for VIPs. It is a circular dining room with a circular dining table in the center and two mahogany-colored chairs. There was already an elderly waiter waiting for him.

He wears gold-rimmed glasses, the top of his head is bald, he has a gray mustache, a white shirt and a dark gold waistcoat, and navy blue trousers. Hatti let Zhou Jia sit down first, and the waiter gently pulled out a chair for her.

Once she sat down, she began to look around. Opposite the dining table is a white fireplace with a delicate golden table clock, and an elegant maid leaning against the dial of the clock, flanked by golden maid candlesticks. The wall of the fireplace is rarely hung with a decorative painting, but with a gold-framed mirror. Next to the fireplace were two floor-to-ceiling white window frames, and the white blackout curtains on the windows had been halfway lowered due to the fact that there was so much light at the moment, making the light coming in much hazy.

Hattie picked up the neatly folded napkin on the plate, shook it gently, and carefully placed it under the plate.

Zhou Jia turned her head and faced the staring expression of Shang Hati, she quickly lowered her eyelids, and her eyelashes moved slightly.

Soon, the hotel's executive chef, Nicholas, arrived in person to recommend the dishes.

Hatty wanted to ask Zhou Jia's opinion, but seeing that she looked embarrassed, she said thoughtfully: "Nick is originally a master of the Blois flavor, and he arranged it, okay?"

Zhou Jia nodded hurriedly and closed the menu.

Slightly earlier than lunchtime, Harti ordered a lighter, dry-white accompaniment.

On the appetizer was a Pennsylvania roasted pear, crispy and sweet, which quickly whetted Zhou Jia's appetite.

A comfortable and serene dining environment, and the food can make people feel more relaxed.

The timing of the waiter's service is very particular and smooth. Zhou Jia didn't know when, the empty plate of his head plate had been removed and replaced with a new salad plate.

A large plate of luxurious "Haye Adams Hotel Special Cobb Salad" is placed on one side of the table.

Cobb salad is a colourful dish made up of small pieces of chicken, pork, crispy lettuce, boiled eggs, avocado, tomato and cheese arranged in a certain order. It was born in a restaurant called the Brown Top Hat next to the Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, and the owner used all the ingredients in his kitchen to make the dish, hence his name, and because of the Hollywood stars' love for this dish, it is now one of the most famous salads in the United States.

The waiter had already prepared a copy for Zhou Jiasheng and put it in front of her.

She gently picked up a piece of avocado with a silver fork and put it in her mouth.

Although she was eating, her eyes always fell on the waiter who served them.

Hatti asked, somewhat puzzled, "Is there something wrong?"

As he said this, the old waiter stepped aside with a little trepidation, and bowed his head, for fear that he had done something wrong.

Reacting to what was the situation, Zhou Jia hurriedly explained: "No, no! He is very good, his service is perfect...... Just ......"

"It's just...... What?" Seeing that she became slurred, Hattie became even more curious.

"I just see that he is quite old and has a question that I want to ask...... I felt that I couldn't open my mouth...... "She herself felt a little embarrassed to speak."

Hatti said, "Just ask if you want!"

Zhou Jia raised her head and looked at the old waiter, and asked, "What I want to ask is, about this hotel...... In the end, she struggled for a long time and squeezed out a few words from between her teeth, "Is this haunted?"

Both the old waiter and Hattie were stunned.

The restaurant was quiet, and Zhou Jia didn't wait for the old waiter's answer. Instead, I heard the "tick-tock" minute hand of the maid's clock on the fireplace.

After a few moments, Hattie waved his hand, and the old waiter, bowing slightly to them, exited the restaurant.

Only Zhou Jia and Hattie were left.

"What's going on?" Zhou Jia didn't understand the taste.

Hatti said softly: "In front of me, he naturally doesn't dare to say that the hotel is haunted!"

"Boss?" Zhou Jia's eyes widened, "This is your hotel?"

"Yes!" Hatti nodded, "instead of asking him, ask me directly." You also know that I will be very cautious about my investment projects, will not do loss-making transactions, about the origin of this hotel, the situation, everything is clear, I know. ”

Zhou Jia thought for a while and said, "Well, it's still the question just now, can you answer it?"

"Yes, there have been rumors of hauntings here," Hatti said. ”

Zhou Jia looked at him.

He continues: "In 2020, I purchased this hotel from B.F. Sauer. Before the acquisition, I sent someone to check all the information related to the hotel, and I can tell you what is going on. ”

The contractor for this hotel is a man named Harry Waldman. At the age of seventeen, he came to New York from England on his own, and in order to support himself, he started as a small worker. After a decade of hard work, he learned the trade of carpenter, starting with building stairs for people and progressing to a prominent real estate contractor in the Washington area, building a large number of landmark hotels, luxury apartments and residential buildings. In 1928, he built the hotel according to the design of a famous architect of the time.

Hattie picked up her glass and took a sip, it was empty. He poured himself wine first, and then added a little more for Zhou Jia. He smiled and said: "He is very admirable, it should be said that his life can be made into a classic Hollywood inspirational film." ”

"Then you can invest in making one!" Zhou Jia said.

"Maybe it's a good idea, because the story that follows is even more fascinating. "Two years later, the Great Depression came. It is precisely in this darkest period that people with brains can see business opportunities. Julius Maneki, New York's largest hotelier, saw the right moment to leave New York and set his sights on Washington, D.C. He bought the hotel at a very low price, and when it changed hands in 2006, B.F. Sauer bought it for a huge amount of money. ”

Zhou Jia felt that when he talked about financial investment, his spirit was flying. I thought to myself: since he is very cautious about investment, it means that this is not a loss than trading. She blurted out, "You also bought it at a low price?"

Hearing her say this, Hattie showed a relieved smile of "The princess knows my heart very well", "This is natural. I'm going to tell you about the haunting. In fact, this rumor has been around for a long time. Do you know why the name of this hotel is the Haye and Adams Hotel?"

Zhou Jia shook his head.

"Because before Harry Waldman bought the property to build a hotel, it was the residence of John Haye and Henry Adams. ”

These two names were very unfamiliar to Zhou Jia, and she asked, "Who are they?"

"They all come from famous families. Born into an anti-slavery family, John Heyer entered politics first as a private secretary to President Lincoln and later as secretary of state to Presidents William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt. The other, Henry Adams, is even more incredible, he is one of the famous "founding fathers" - the grandson of the second president of the United States, John Adams, his uncle is John Quincy Adams, the sixth president of the United States, and his father Charles Francis Adams is Lincoln's ambassador to London, if it were not for his early death, I am afraid that he would have become the third president of their family. Henry himself was a historian and writer who won the Pulitzer Prize. ”

The combination of these two famous surnames is like thunder, which makes Zhou Jia amazed, it turns out that the name of the hotel still has such a origin.

During the American Civil War, when his father was appointed ambassador to England by Lincoln, Henry traveled to London as his father's private secretary, where he met his fellow countryman, Marianne Hooper, also from Boston, who had a very endearing nickname, "Shamrock". These two people are of the same age, they are a good match, they are attracted to each other, and more importantly, they are impressed by each other's knowledge and literary talents, and they soon fall in love. When Hattie said this, he looked up at Zhou Jia, and his earnest eyes seemed to be borrowing other people's love stories to pour out his love.

Zhou Jia can't ignore his enthusiasm for showing his feelings, to be honest, Oriental people are always more subtle, especially in terms of feelings, often very subtle. She herself was even less able to understand why Hatty's love was so strong and direct. Obviously, at the beginning, he only saw himself as the object of the transaction, could it be because of the skin-to-skin relationship that he had such a change? )
