The capacity of the elevator is only so small, so when Amelia dragged Zach and rushed into the small space where several old people from the West District were already standing, Zach raised his eyebrows. Should Amelia's purpose be so obvious? …
However, Quinn and Mrs. Barton, who were already very familiar with Zach, watched Zach being pulled in by a strange woman and looked at each other strangely. If I remember correctly, Zach's girlfriend was Louise.
Well, the little thoughts of the two parties cannot change the fact that the elevator capacity is the same. There are already two people in formal bodyguards looking at Amelia expressionlessly, "Miss, please..."
Mrs. Quinn waved her hand and glanced at Zach, "It's just an elevator." Mrs. Quinn didn't feel comfortable riding with a person who had magical healing powers (Zach once saved Mrs. Quinn's caregiver, Amanda). There are any dangers in elevators, and everyone is so familiar with it.
It just so happens that this private space is perfect for talking. Mrs. Quinn conveyed this message well by looking at Zach, and then shifted her gaze to Mrs. Barton and the other old gentleman.
Mrs. Barton is very familiar to us. Let us guess the identity of the other old gentleman. The skin is covered with wrinkles and spots, but under the straight bridge of the nose, the white beard is carefully trimmed into a small horn. At this time, the old gentleman looked at Zach, smiled slightly, turned the black cane gently, and the golden 'Falcon' turned in Zach's sight along with the cane.
Zach was already confident, because this old man was obviously the first-generation Falcon, and his smile was full of kindness, which meant that he was satisfied. In other words, Lola's project is progressing very smoothly, and these people in the West District are 'on board'.
Mrs. Barton pursed her lips. She seemed unhappy.
This is understandable.
Falcon's commission somehow pulled her Laura into it. Still pushed to the front. While I have to admire Zach's wonderful way of doing things, I'm still a little unhappy.
After all, something needs to be considered. Laura is the one who roped in Kepler as a friend. The nature of Parker Elementary School gave the two little guys from the Falcon family the opportunity to get involved.
If this commission goes well, well done. The entire third generation of the West End can benefit from this project, which appears to be the charity heart of West Enders, but is actually just an action to improve personal relationships. But if things are not done well, Laura, as the project initiator, will be the one who bears the responsibility.
Of course, people from the West End can't be so negative. The most Mrs. Barton can do is think about these things. Laura has already made up her mind, so she naturally supports it. What she needs at this time is to communicate the specific content with Zach. After all, Grande used people from the Barton family to carry out Falcon's commission, and certain things must be made clear. For example, boundaries should not allow Zach to abuse Laura and Grande's friendship, which should be understandable.
Mrs. Barton glanced at Zach, stood slightly in front of the elderly people, approached Zach, and was about to open her mouth...
"You!" Amelia, who was beside Zach, suddenly pulled Zach behind him who was about to face Mrs. Barton, and blocked him abruptly, "You must be Mrs. Quinn!"
Mrs. Barton, who had just stood in front of her, frowned. He glanced at Amelia's gaze looking past him to Mrs. Quinn behind her. Here is the elevator. The space is only so big. When someone enters, someone must leave. Feel the atmosphere.
Mrs. Barton did not retreat, and looked past Amelia, who was already close to her, to Zach, who was raising an eyebrow behind her, obviously asking for an explanation.
Zach twitched his lips. Just open your mouth, at least, at least explain that this impolite female companion was just picked up in the hall...
"I have always admired your deeds!" Amelia continued to say to Mrs. Quinn without blinking, "For the charity of those veterans. I am very..."
"Miss." Mrs. Barton's gaze was unfocused, "You're blocking me." Don't forget, this is the man who once said "Barton's shame" and directly abandoned his grandson to the west, whose surname is the same as this city. old woman.
"Hug, I'm sorry..." Amelia retreated subconsciously, but this was an elevator, and she didn't have much room to retreat.
Zach supported Amelia, "I should be the one who is sorry." With a smile on his face, Zach nodded to several old people, "I should introduce it to everyone." Zach didn't give anyone more There is room for reaction, "This is Dr. Browning. I am attending a luncheon today as the female companion of a certain gentleman. I just met him by chance and am temporarily serving as my escort."
Do you know why Zach said this? It's not to prove that this impolite woman is not bored with her, but to remind Mrs. Barton that the progress of the commission is just a click away. Detailed conversation is not suitable now. This woman is not from our Grande. You can't say too many private things about the West End in front of this woman.
Zach kept smiling, supported Amelia, and pointed to Mrs. Barton, "This is Mrs. Barton. You are a little too abrupt. She is not Mrs. Quinn. Mrs. Quinn is this one." Zach's Her hand reached behind to see the real Mrs. Queen.
Of course Zach knew that Amelia did not admit the wrong person and did it deliberately to give Amelia a chance to defend herself.
Amelia's face turned ugly. She reluctantly bent down to apologize to Mrs. Barton, whose eyes had refocused in the small elevator, "I'm really sorry. I didn't admit my mistake. But, I'm really sorry! I didn't recognize you, Mrs. Barton." !”
Zach smiled awkwardly, "Ah, I'm sorry, I thought you made a mistake." Zach's acting skills need no further description, "Mrs. Quinn just appeared in the newspaper not long ago. I don't think she can admit it. Hahaha."
Mrs. Barton's gaze shifted slightly and her face became slightly better. Zach reminded her again, don't blame others for not recognizing you. How long have you old people from the West District not appeared in the media? ! If Mrs. Quinn hadn't made a big news in the newspaper about the Pochi incident, leaving a photo of suddenly standing up from a wheelchair, who would know Mrs. Quinn!
After all, Zach saved Emilia once. Whether Emilia can improve her impression of him remains to be seen later.
At this time, Emilia had obviously realized Zach's help, pursed her lips, and glanced at Zach. Silently retreated behind Zach and stopped talking. There was nothing to say, the atmosphere was so weird, no matter what her purpose was in deliberately approaching Mrs. Quinn, there was no chance at this time.
The elevator stopped with a slight roar, and the weird atmosphere lasted only for a moment. As the door opened and the exit was found, it disappeared immediately.
Zach looked at the old West End man who slowly moved out of the elevator and was immediately overwhelmed by the crowd of people. He suddenly understood the reason for Amelia's previous rashness. Because of the opportunity, maybe this was it.
Zach and Amelia naturally stayed in the elevator until they were the last to go out. "What do you want to do? Maybe I can help you." Zach made a friendly proposal, "You should have heard about Grande's side job. , it is much easier for me to talk to these people than it is for you. If you can help, I will be happy."
Emilia looked at Zach, was silent for a while, and nodded. (..)
