The Goddess Shines on America

The climate of Los Angeles and the United Kingdom are quite different. Although the British Isles are breezy and cool, the Sunshine Coast of California is still warm and charming. Although it is the twelfth lunar month of winter in the northern hemisphere, when the young men and women in the UK wear heavy windbreakers and frequently hold umbrellas, young men and women in Los Angeles still only need to thicken their clothes in the evening. Four seasons are like spring, and short sleeves are always with you.

Moving the family to the top of a skyscraper naturally has advantages and disadvantages.

On the 115th floor of the Alice Building, the recruitment of clerks by Umbrella Asset Investment Company has come to an end. Sophie can go to work as long as she goes downstairs. Even if the house gets bigger, this former full-time housewife can still make the real The cleaners come upstairs to clean and take almost all the hassle out of it.

Although the two children, Oscar and Hannah, like the comfortable life brought by the big house, especially the convenience of shopping and eating at the end of the elevator, there is something worth complaining about, that is, after all, the environment has changed. For example, morning jogging, which is feasible and visible every day in ordinary residential areas, of course cannot appear in the city center. After all, Los Angeles is different from New York. The latter even has high-rise luxury apartments on the South Island of Manhattan, but here, where cars are the mainstay, the vicinity of the CBD is just the CBD.

James is even more mixed about this. After all, if you really want to say that you are greedy for a big house, the whole family has changed a long time ago to a high-end residence in a high-end community with a larger area and more gorgeous decoration, so there is no need to live on the roof of the office building right now. He didn't resign from UCLA because of his daughter's career development, but because of this, living in such a gorgeous high-end apartment as a people's teacher always gave him a strange feeling.

So, when Alice came home again, he immediately went to find her.

"Awkward? Uh, that's true. Even a top surgeon with an annual salary of two million can't rent a three-story top office building as an apartment. Dad, although you are a professor-level university history teacher, few of your colleagues will live in it." In this kind of apartment, it would be awkward for me to..."

There is a tea drinking area facing floor-to-ceiling windows. The scenery here is beautiful, and the interior decoration is even more exquisite. It is by no means an imitation of the luxurious decoration of the Palace of Versailles. The proof marble floor, the large transparent glass screen, and the modern minimalist decoration style seem to have a very strong humanistic and artistic atmosphere. The two single sofas and the small table for drinking tea are also exquisite works of Japanese design masters.

"That kid Oscar got used to it right away." James sat comfortably on the chair, sipped his tea and said, "Actually, the interior and area of ​​the room are easy to talk about. The key point is that I'm really not used to living in the city center. Take a look. .”

James waved his hand out the window. It's late, the sun is setting, and the neon lights have not yet appeared, but the rush of traffic during the peak period has already appeared. Although it is located at a very high altitude, as long as the ants on the ground are highly dense, you can still overlook it clearly.

"Young people like to be lively, so you three girls get used to it immediately, and Sophie can too. I'm not saying I'm old, but don't forget, Vivi, your father and I are not What an old businessman who has worked hard in the shopping mall all his life, but just a history buff and a literati. Living in this bustling place that makes people headaches... really uncomfortable."

James said softly, and he didn't even tell anyone else what he said tonight. When the idea is just born, there is no need to disturb others, and when the time accumulates to a certain extent and needs to be confided, it is indeed necessary to choose the best object first.

Alice turned the Montblanc pen, twisted her mouth, twisted her nose, frowned, and looked at her father with various weird expressions.

"So? My mother can go to work directly downstairs now, and I am the same. Although our house on Wenton Street is not for sale, Dad, you don't intend to separate from us, do you?"

James smiled slightly, and habitually looked into the room. Fortunately, there is only a small family living in the huge house, so it is impossible for Sophie and the two children to meet easily if they get separated for a while, and they have to rely on walkie-talkies to find people. Of course, there is no need to worry about the conversation being overheard. .

"Separation? Thanks to you girl, you can figure it out." He stood up, stretched his body, and said, "I just thought that you are almost eighteen years old now, and Oscar and Hannah are getting closer and closer to college entrance exams." The closer. You don't need it anymore, but after the two of them go there to study, there will only be three of us left in such a big house, don't you have any new plans?"

New plan?

As soon as she moved her ass here, Alice felt something was wrong. She really just got home, the plane arrived at Los Angeles Airport at 1:00 p.m., and she was dragged here by her father within three hours after she got home to rest. Listening to it just now, I thought he was feeling world-weary, but now why do I feel...

Sure enough, James grinned at her: "Graduated from high school, Alice, even if you have been studying on the other side of the Atlantic, Eton is still a gathering place for boys. Even if you graduated a year early, you can stay long enough Oh, why didn’t you bring back a boyfriend for your family!?”

Wow……

Alice's expression suddenly became more bitter than a bitter melon...

"Boy friend!?"

However, she did not say the first sentence after that. With the sound of hurried footsteps, Sophie rushed over from the inside of the house wearing slippers.

"Did I hear the word boyfriend just now? Ally? You're looking for a boyfriend!?"

It turned out to be the rhythm of three joint trials! ?

As soon as she saw her mother, Alice couldn't help but stroke her forehead even more. Well, it is indeed her fault, and she has never told her family about her orientation in all these years. The existence of Sissy did not arouse their suspicion at all, so now...

"Dad, don't...Mom, don't think that the wind is rain."

Seeing Sophie walking quickly all the way to her side, Alice slid down, Ge You slumped on the chair, and rolled his eyes: "Have a boyfriend? It's not like you don't know that I want Take a long trip and talk about a hairy boyfriend, hello!"

However, Sophie had a smile on her face, walked lightly behind James, put her hands on the back of the chair, and said with a smile: "See, my dear, Weiwei is shy."

Sophie knew at a glance that she had just come up from the downstairs office, and she hadn't even had time to change into the Versace business suit, so she hurried to such a corner to eavesdrop on the father and daughter's heart-to-heart talk. ?

She stood up immediately, and said through gritted teeth, "I won't play with you anymore! I'm still busy with work, so I won't accompany you!"

Seeing that she was coming and her daughter was about to run away, Sophie quickly stopped her with a smile: "Monica just came back with you, why don't you let her go home from get off work early? It's almost dinner time, Get back to work, baby!"

James wanted to stand up, but it happened that Sophie's arms wrapped around his neck again, so he could only continue to sit on the chair and wave: "Yes, your mother said in the morning that Hannah and Oscar are going to go now." Supermarket purchases, let's support ourselves tonight and have a big meal!"

Upon hearing the delicious food, Alice stopped running into the depths of the house and turned around to face her parents.

"Then you guys have to talk about it, when will I look for... um, cough, you don't need to rush to find a partner, when will I bring him home, and when will I tell you about those things , understand~?"

Alice made a plan in an instant. After all, she is only a little over seventeen years old now. Even if she doesn't mention singleness, she won't eat at all when talking about marriage ten years later. Therefore, no matter it is the so-called leading the object home, or secretly revealing one's orientation to the family, this kind of glorious and great task, of course, can be delayed for one minute or sixty seconds...

"Understood, fully understood." James was the first to express his opinion, and he was really relaxed: "Actually, Dad is not afraid of your jokes. When he thinks of his precious daughter being raped by some pig, no matter how good the young man is, I must arrange for him the Twelve Trials of Hercules!"

Well, yes, although the reason is the same, James' expression is indeed only the best for Chinese parents. Sophie had talked with the children about related topics a long time ago, saying that when James chased her, he said that his father-in-law looked at her like a pig with cabbage~

"Well, it should be, it should be." Alice pursed her lips happily, and leaned her back lazily on Sophie: "If there is a young man who doesn't know what to do, he wants to chase me, the most beautiful girl in the world, so much more than that." The Twelve Trials, let him practice alone with our thousand mercenaries in Black Water!"

Can't play him to death!

James laughed out loud, but I'm afraid no one will cheer for his laugh. Since the mother and daughter got together, of course they were talking to themselves. They put their arms on each other, leaving the head of the family here, and walked to other places in the house by themselves.

The two strolled on the private direct elevator, and went directly to the first floor,

Then, let's get down to business.

"Are you sure you really don't need to call the police?" Sophie said, "The police's investigative capabilities should be more professional, right? Besides, since you suspect that the woman is from the Soviet Union, maybe the CIA and MI6 may also intervene." ?”

Alice shook her head: "Don't forget, Mom, those mercenaries sent by Uncle Levi are also professional, since they didn't find anything from Draken, then the CIA and the others will definitely not find anything with their old thinking. It’s the Soviet Union, Czechoslovakia, Warsaw Pact, and NATO, and recently Czechoslovakia is still having reform turmoil, are you sure what can be gained by letting the US government intervene?”

"The more resources are called, the more obvious it is." Sophie understood immediately, but when she saw that the fast elevator was about to reach the bottom floor, she changed the subject: "Okay, Ellie, fix your collar, Let's go out for a walk!"
