Zach kept his distance, "Aisela, what are you doing here?" The vampire kept smiling, but really didn't want to look at this woman, "I don't want to ask a third time."
"I was summoned." Esera waved her hand casually, "It's a very interesting thing. I received a call from the police. My dear husband, his most beloved car was found to have been written off at the border of the Southern District." Esera She didn't mind letting her gaze stick to the vampire. As if helpless, she tilted her head, "Because my precious son can't say a word, so I can only ask you."
Zach slowly paced back and forth on the second floor of the warehouse, still smiling, "Sorry, Ethera, I didn't understand. Your husband's car was 'written off'." Zach shrugged, "Not with Caesar. What does talking have to do with it? What puzzles me the most is, why should you ask me?"
Ethela didn't mind Zach's rudeness, "Otherwise, I can ask our mutual 'friend' - Anthony." She suddenly pressed her finger to her mouth, showing an embarrassed look, "Oh!"
She seemed to be explaining the reason for her embarrassment, even if no one asked, "Anthony should be thinking about some important things right now, and I'm afraid I don't have time to answer these questions." Esera smiled, "We shouldn't disturb the mayor's important work. "She emphasized the word 'important' and looked at the vampire with a smile, "What do you think?"
Zach narrowed his eyes, Aisela's purpose was truly revealed.
She was testing the waters to see if Grande was already involved in a future mayoral race!
Think about it, last night, Anthony had already revealed the reason why he would have dinner with Ethera. After gaining the advantage, Aisela deliberately showed off in front of Anthony! If it was just to show off, then she would no longer be the woman who once fell in love with the 'Barton symbol'!
Apparently, she took advantage of the prison situation. Threatening Mayor Anthony, what political deal was proposed! After all, there is still more than a quarter left in the mayoral election, and God knows what changes will happen during this period! Esera must use every resource at her disposal to continuously build up and consolidate her chances of winning! The prison incident is obviously one of them!
Right now, Anthony is probably doing damage control with his team, as Aisela said, and analyzing Aisela's agreement. Trying to find an advantage out of a disadvantage.
At this time, it was not a good time for this woman to ask what happened to a broken car! If Anthony is forced to make a wrong decision, his future mayoral campaign will be in danger.
As Anthony's opponent, Ethela would not have any expectations for Anthony's character at this time. She knew Anthony's secret, she knew Grande's secret, so she had to think beyond the purely political fight. Also consider this alien family that can destroy all rules of human struggle! So she had to test it!
"What does this have to do with Anthony?" Zach raised his eyebrows, still not looking at Aisela, "Aisela, you have completely confused me." The vampire shook his head, with a lost expression on his face, "In general, you came here because you were summoned by the Southern District Police Station. Right."
Zach pursed his lips and offered sincere consolation. "Then I suggest that instead of saying these things that I don't understand to me here who don't welcome you, you'd better report it to the police station as soon as possible."
Esera squinted her eyes and stared at the profile of the vampire's face, trying to explore the true emotions beneath the face that had never changed! but. She could only look at the side face that showed various expressions at will, and could not see the whole picture. She couldn't find out anything!
The corners of Esera's eyes twitched slightly, and her impatient expression flashed away. She has nothing to complain about. Does she require vampires to look into her eyes when talking like normal humans? That's digging your own grave.
Do you think this woman will just give up? This is once with a mouth. The woman who escaped unscathed from vampires and alphas! All you have to do is catch the right 'point'!
Once on the driveway at night, that 'dot' was Anthony! Now
Ethera smiled again, seemingly relaxed, "Where's Louise?"
The vampire's eyes were fixed on the woman on Alpha's bed!
However, Ethela looked away early and sat lazily on the mattress without any precautions. Her tone was a little regretful, "Last time at Mrs. Quinn's dinner, we got along very happily. I don't know why, but suddenly... He left without even saying 'goodbye'."
Ethela's tone was a little disappointed, "I asked you to meet my mutual friend, Susan. I want to know if there is any misunderstanding between us." She shook her head, seeming sad, "But the result doesn't seem to be very good. Well, she seems to have misunderstood my intention again." She smiled again, "Since I'm here this time, I want to talk to her in person to resolve these misunderstandings."
Esera adjusted her posture, "After all, I like her very much." Her eyes met the vampire's, "We are the same person."
"Louise and you have nothing in common." Zach stared at Ethela, with red eyes ready to move in the depths of his light green pupils.
"Ah~" The tone changed, and the smile on Aisela's face was not false at all. She had caught that 'point'. Ethela pointed her finger at Zach, "Is it different?" She shook her head, "I decided to stick to my intuition. Let's see what happens next and see who is right."
Ethera glanced sideways, "Where is she?"
When she didn't get a response, Esera was ready to take the initiative. She picked up the high heels on the bed, turned her folded legs to the side, leaned forward, pressed her slender fingers on the heels, and put them on, "Is it for breakfast? Just in time. I didn’t eat breakfast either.” She seemed to be complaining, “Oh, I hate high heels. I was woken up by the police’s phone call early in the morning, I didn’t eat anything, and it’s really painful to wear these...”
We won't listen to meaningless complaints.
Zach frowned, watching Aisela stand up, straighten her clothes, and smiled at him, "How about being a good host and sending me to the restaurant?"
Zach's frown spread, and he raised his hand and grabbed Ethela's arm, "I can take you away from Grande."
Asela, half of her body was lifted up by the irresistible force, but she did not panic at all. With a smile on her face, she followed the vampire towards the stairs while looking at the vampire's hand holding her arm, with a faint black line along the The blood vessel texture under the pale skin spread from the inside of the vampire's palm that adhered to her clothes!
Silver, it has the effect of blocking the ability of aliens, it makes aliens weak!
"Isn't there even breakfast?" Asela's tone was full of smiles, "I heard from Susan that Alice's cooking skills can be compared with those of great chefs."
"No breakfast." Zach also smiled, ignoring what was happening at his hands, "Like I said, you shouldn't keep the police waiting for too long."
"Oh~" Esera was controlled by the vampire and stepped down the stairs, "I almost forgot how much you like to be with the police." Esera did not try to break away from the other party's control, and said what she wanted to say easily and naturally "It used to be Anthony, but now it's, well, James Lance." She blinked, "Good choice~"
The strength in Zach's hand increased, but the woman who took the strength didn't seem to have any reaction, she was still relaxed, and she still said what she wanted to say!
"Detective Lance, how are you?" Esera asked a question that would never be answered. She looked a little curious, "I have never had the opportunity to contact him. Since we are friends, if there is a chance, can you introduce him? one time?"
With a smile on his face, Zach had already finished walking up the stairs and walked towards the door. "There's a chance." He raised his free hand to cover the bright sunshine.
"Then you have to hurry up." Esera looked at the vampire's movements and looked at her car with a smile, "I heard that Detective Lance has a friend who served together with him and was assigned to the Southern District Police Station. .”
Ethela put one hand on the car handle and watched as the vampire's loosened palm retracted. The eyes hidden under the arm were in the shadows, and the expression could not be seen. "Wes? That seems to be the name." Ethela said He opened the car door and said, "I don't know if we can meet you today."
"Then I wish you good luck." The corners of Zach's mouth exposed in the shadows curled up, and he responded in a casual tone. Looking at the woman sitting in the driver's seat, she closed the car door, turned the key, and reminded, "Aisela, seat belt. Always remember to fasten your seat belt."
"Oh! I almost forgot, thank you for reminding me!" Aisela nodded gratefully, pulled on the seat belt, started the car, and smiled sideways at Zach, "Then, see you next time. "
Zach didn't want to say another word anymore, so he nodded and waved. Watching the uninvited car turn around and drive away from Grande's backyard.
The side door of the back porch was pushed open. Benjamin was still holding the dinner plate and looking at the vampire standing in the sun, "Leaving?"
"Yeah." Zach put down his arm to block the sun and walked towards the shadow of the back porch.
"You held it back." Benjamin tilted his head, picking up the salad in the bowl with the toast in his hand, and there was a sense of disappointment in his tone.
Zach shook his head and raised his palm covered with black filaments to show Alpha, "With a little help."
Benjamin snorted and turned sideways, with his butt facing the vampire, a bottle stuck in the pocket of Benjamin's jeans.
With a look of relief on his face, Zach took out the wine bottle, uncorked it, and started drinking.
"We can never get rid of this trouble, right." Benjamin's cheeks squirmed as he chewed the food in his mouth.
In the wine bottle lying in the air, the red liquid level sloshed down. The blackness on the vampire's hands gradually faded and disappeared.
The upside-down wine bottle swayed in the air, and every drop of liquid was drained by the vampire. Zach moved his arms with satisfaction, "It seems so." (..)
