When Karina opened her eyes again, the carriage had already stopped outside Heyman Manor.
The businesswoman is a person who can afford to let things go. Although she was lost for a while after learning about Zhang Heng and Annie, she quickly regained her composure and devoted her energy to the business on the island. The busyness of this period has diluted the regret in her heart.
It's just that the two of them are in a small space together now, which evokes her previous memories, but after sleeping, her spirit has recovered a lot.
Karina stepped out of the carriage and moved her shoulders. Unlike Malcolm's Terrance Manor, Carmen's Hayman Manor occupies a small area, only about one-tenth of the former, and does not grow any crops, except Most of the area outside the residence is gardens and lawns. This place was left by Carmen’s late husband Smith. The latter died of an accidental fall from a horse a year after the two got married, so the estate is now owned by Carmen.
"What's the matter with you two?" A black man was mowing the lawn, seeing this, he put down the scissors in his hand and walked over.
"I heard that the owner here is proficient in the medical skills of the Guanajatabe people, so I came here to seek medical treatment." Zhang Heng also got out of the carriage.
"Yes, Mrs. Smith is indeed very talented in this area. Her Guanajatabe medical skills have even surpassed those of the Guanajata people on the island." The black man smiled, "However, if you seek medical treatment, you need to make an appointment in advance. We need to prepare herbs and corresponding healing tools for you, and we need to meditate the night before."
"Really, but we are already here, at least let me try the effect first."
"This..." the black man seemed very embarrassed, "but you came at the wrong time, and in half an hour, a guest with an appointment will come, so..."
He was interrupted by a female voice before he finished speaking, "It's okay, Drew, let them in."
"As you wish." The black man moved away and made a gesture of invitation.
Zhang Heng and Karina followed him through a small flower garden and walked into the main entrance.
The black man turned around and went to the kitchen to make tea, and five minutes later, the owner of the voice came down from upstairs. Before she stood in front of the window on the second floor, Zhang Heng just glanced at it, and now he finally had a chance Close contact with the Lord.
According to the information collected by Zhang Heng, Carmen's age should be about the same as Eugene's, in his forties, but it's hard to tell from the outside.
I don't know what method she uses to maintain her skin, which makes her look about 30 years old. She exudes a unique charm mixed with maturity and innocence. Zhang Heng can understand why Eugene is fascinated by her .
"Drew, do you know who you just turned away?"
"Excuse my ignorance, ma'am." The black man bowed.
"Who is the most famous person on the island recently?"
"Mr. Malcolm who formed the Black Merchants Alliance, Black Prince Sam who became the King of Pirates of Nassau, I often hear people talking about their names... But the most famous one recently is Zhang Heng of the Jackdaw Captain." When the black man said this, he obviously realized who the person sitting in front of him was. After all, Zhang Heng's oriental characteristics were obvious, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.
"At any time, you can't drive the most prestigious captain on the island, the new king of Nassau, out of your house. Drew, cancel the next appointment and tell Mr. Buffon that the treatment time will be changed to tomorrow night."
The black man nodded, turned back to serve the tea, and then walked out of the room.
"I hope my people didn't offend you." Carmen held out her hand.
Zhang Heng has always disliked hand kisses in Europe. This is a custom of the Vikings. It was later spread to Europe and became popular in the upper class. It is mostly used to show respect for married women. It is still popular among European royal families in modern times. , but it cannot conceal the fact that it is unhygienic, especially considering the current era background, people living in Nassau may not be able to take a bath once a week, and there are definitely a lot of bacteria on their hands.
So Zhang Heng just stretched out his hand and shook the other party politely.
A look of embarrassment flashed across Carmen's face, but she quickly covered it up. She turned her head and smiled at the businesswoman, "Let me guess, since Captain Zhang Heng is here, you must be Anne, no, Miss Annie has red hair that is enviable. You are Miss Karina. Although what you do is not as famous as Captain Zhang Heng, you are now well known, especially among the women on the island. Many people are talking about you And Miss Anne, you proved that women can still have a place in a world dominated by men."
"You think too highly of me, I'm just a businessman who wants to make money." Karina said.
After the three of them sat down again, Carmen said, "I didn't expect Captain Zhang Heng to know me too. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"There is really one thing that Mrs. Smith needs to do."
"That's my honor. I don't know what's wrong with Captain Zhang Heng?" Carmen picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip of the tea ceremony.
"I heard that Ma'am, you are very familiar with Mr. Eugene."
"Feel sorry?"
"We don't have any malice towards Mr. Eugene. In fact, we also know that he has been in a somewhat helpless situation these years. We want to help him solve his troubles, but the premise is that you can help us first and tell us to threaten him. What exactly is it?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, I'm just a doctor, using Nahatabe's skills to..."
"We know what kind of relationship you have with Eugene." Karina interrupted Carmen's words, "Eugene always comes to you for treatment in the middle of the night and leaves only the next morning. His wife is not on the island. And you have been a widow for so many years..."
"With all due respect, Miss Karina, you don't know anything about widowhood." Carmen's tone also changed, and she was no longer as polite as before, "If you are here for this matter, then I'm sorry , Our conversation can only end here, Drew, the guests are leaving."
Hearing this, the black man came in from outside the house, but neither Zhang Heng nor Karina got up, "I heard that after your husband passed away, you and your husband's family were not happy, and they wanted to take back his life on the island We may be able to provide some assistance to the properties above, and this estate in particular."
Carmen's eyes twitched when she heard the words, but she finally said, "I don't know what you are talking about, and I can't help you if you want to. Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Eugene is just a patient of mine. If you come to see a doctor, I welcome it, but I can't do anything else."
