On the red carpet at the main entrance of the opera house, although Jenkins seemed to be easily coping with the unfamiliar social occasions, he was actually a little nervous. He is now caught between two girls who are still in a relationship. His current relationship among the three is very delicate, and if he is not careful, it may lead to the bankruptcy of the friendship. This is the scene he is least willing to face.
The blonde girl looked at the people around her. Because of her family education, she knew from a young age that one day she would accompany a man as a lady, attend social occasions with him, and deal with some social problems for him. piece of cake.
But she never dreamed that that day would come so soon, and there was even a second woman beside that man. Regarding the relationship between Hathaway and Jenkins, although she has never found anything tricky, there is always an inexplicable sense of familiarity when the two look at each other, as if they are the most suitable couple.
This idea is very strange and unfounded. But just as Brienne was convinced that Jenkins's cat was definitely eccentric, so she believed in this inexplicable inference.
"So, is it inappropriate for me to appear on this occasion..."
At this moment, the thoughts of the three of them reached a high degree of agreement.
But no matter what he thought in his heart, the movement of stepping forward remained unchanged. A lot of famous people really came here today. Even if this opera is really a pile of rubbish, it will be noble because of the identities of the attendees.
Now Jenkins has completely believed the inference made in the carriage just now. The headlines in tomorrow's newspaper must be about the opera performance, but the content has absolutely nothing to do with the opera.
Probably in order to bring out the importance of this performance, the interior decoration of the opera house is extraordinarily careful. Those expensive oil paintings in the past were replaced by more expensive antique paintings, and the decorative armor on the wall became a real knight armor. Even the doors to the Opera Hall have been repainted. Jenkins suspected that the shiny things were gold dust mixed with the paint, but Hathaway thought it was actually some reflective ore powder.
After entering the opera hall tonight, the huge crystal chandelier above the head immediately attracted the attention of the visitors. While handing the ticket in his hand to the waiter at the door, Jenkins looked up at the crystal lamp that looked like blooming petals.
The upside-down lamps are divided into three layers, and candles of different specifications are used on each layer, so that the light has a clear sense of hierarchy without causing blind spots in the lighting. Jenkins valued the lamp at £700 because it is a true work of art.
After checking the tickets of the three people, the waiter led them to think about what to do in the front row. Rows of seats are covered with red cloth and satin decorations, and each row has a dedicated guide to guide the distinguished guests.
Mr. Nellie wanted to give Jenkins a box ticket, but Jenkins rejected the kind proposal considering the reputation of Hathaway and Britney.
In fact, he wanted to agree very much, because the box is indeed more comfortable than the seats below, and he doesn't have to restrict the freedom of chocolate. But since we are still living in the human world, we must abide by the general rules of society...
He suddenly squinted at Hathaway, remembering that dream. After that, the two of them had no chance to formally talk about related topics, and he didn't know how Hathaway wanted to deal with the future with Britney.
"Would she have the idea of 'I want it all'?"
Jenkins laughed at the idea that Hathaway was definitely not that kind of girl, and Jenkins believed his point of view.
Because there were too many big names coming tonight, the dean of the Opera House and the actual director of the Silver Jasmine Opera Troupe, Mr. Nellie, also put on their best formal attire to receive the guests.
Jenkins met Mr. Nellie at the front seat, and Hathaway and Britney sat down first, leaving Jenkins to stand and chat with Mr. Nellie.
"Baron William, congratulations. I have heard the news that you are about to enter the knighthood. Speaking of which, you should be the fastest person to enter the knighthood in the past hundred years."
The reason why this century is limited is that there are many people who entered the throne faster than Jenkins in the war years, and that is the truly crazy era.
"It's nothing, it's Her Majesty's generosity, I just did some trivial work."
"How can it be said to be insignificant?"
Mr. Nellie threw his head up, and his decorative monocle reflected at an angle the light from the gas lamps on the wall.
"You played more part in the Fabry deception than all the detectives at Carfax Yard put together."
He stated this fact without hesitation, and did not deliberately suppress his voice. The middle-aged gentleman Jenkins didn't know who passed by here looking for a seat also nodded in agreement and raised his hat to Jenkins.
"You are definitely worthy of the title of viscount. Look, now because of your point of view, the three major kingdoms are preparing to launch a central bank controlled by the state, and the Traveler's Bank is also seeking reform. This is a feat that can be left in the history books. "
The middle-aged fat businessman's words made Jenkins blush a little. After all, the truth of the "Fabry scam" is actually very ridiculous.
When he was seated, he realized that the girls had left the middle seat for him just like last time. This is also normal, because it is abnormal for two girls to sit together in the eyes of outsiders.
The number of people who came to watch the performance this time was much higher than the previous preview. When it was about to start, the entire theater was almost full. On the soft seat cushions, Hathaway's lace-gloved hand rests on Jenkins' armrest. The soft light made the jewelry of the ladies on the scene sparkle, and people greeted those distinguished and distinguished people loudly like a festival gathering.
Hathaway also reminded Jenkins that the Marquis had also reached the upper box and flashed past the window of the stand.
When Jenkins looked back, he saw only Madame Michael, wearing a pearl necklace and red evening dress, looking in this direction with the small telescope. He seemed to notice that Jenkins looked back at her, and just stood there for a while before leaving the position.
"There are quite a few people here."
Mr. Writer sighed softly, it's a pity that this important opera performance will be reduced to a foil. No matter how successful today's performance is, people will only pay attention to the mayor's speech for a while. But on the other hand, this also guarantees that the public performance will never fail, so it is difficult to say whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
