"In this way, Dave can kill two birds with one stone. He can not only contribute to charity, but also present a gift to his girlfriend. The biggest winner tonight is Dave
Looking at Langley's bright smile, the only idea in his mind now is to tear the face into countless pieces with his bare hands
Originally, it was supposed to be auctioned by Dave and presented to Beatrice to show his generosity and kindness; But now lanli takes the lead in talking, and the taste of things seems to have changed subtly. He always feels that Dave's behavior is carried out with his purpose in mind, which is strange.
Dave can be sure that Langley did it on purpose; And before the auction, Lan Li's friends also deliberately bid up the price, just to make him embarrassed.
"Ha. It's a wonderful thing to auction the things you like, and then express your support for charity in this way. Finally, it's very rare to be lucky to meet the things that Teresa likes. " Dave tries to respond in a calm way. He can really feel Beatrice's burning eyes on him, and he knows it——
They must be more careful, otherwise the royal family members are always very careful to avoid trouble in making friends. Compared with William, Beatrice is less wary; But that doesn't mean she's not on guard. After all, the royal family has been surrounded by countless people since childhood, and "trust" is not easy.
"As for the winner, I think it's Mr. Langley." Dave quietly kicked the ball back and put a high hat on blue Li's head.
Instead of continuing to be modest, Langley made a slight gesture. His calm and generous appearance made Dave turn a white eye in his heart, and then he said, "this honor is dedicated to the children who are going to be funded, and Lord Alexander, who has worked hard to plan the whole auction. I'm just responsible for attending, and then I sit and enjoy all the glory, It's obviously too lazy. "
It's easy, easy and humorous.
With just one sentence, lanli condensed all the beautiful moments into his body, which made Beatrice smile. Even the other guests beside her could not help but cast friendly eyes. It was hard to cover the surprise and lightness in her eyes, and the atmosphere began to surge.
Dave realized that he was looking down on lenley. Rumor has it that Langley is just an actor. He doesn't have much reputation in London's social circle. His fame is completely based on his works, which is equivalent to the aura of vanity fair. In the stereotype of the elite, the actors in Vanity Fair are not so smart, otherwise they would not go to the career of "relying on God to feed", isn't it?
But now it seems that Langley is far from that simple, which also led to the loss of Dave's initiative——
Maybe Dave is not a "high intelligence" elite who is good at reading or doing business, but he can make friends with William and occupy a place in the upper class of London, which shows that he is very good at interpersonal communication; Today, in the face of Lan Li, he lost his advantage and even made many mistakes, which is obviously not normal.
Lanli is also vaguely aware of Dave's impatience, and his eyes turn to Beatrice, leaving a meaningful look:
Whether or not Dave has bad intentions or other plans, there is at least one thing to be sure that there is no false relationship between him and Beatrice.
So, there's no need to investigate the aggressive behavior of Dave just now.
Lanli and Beatrice exchanged a look, and then you can see that Beatrice's cheek was slightly flushed, which made lanli smile. "There are still some friends there who need to say hello, so I'll stay here. Later on, we'll talk slowly."
After the jaw head signals, Lan Li turns and leaves on his own initiative.
Beatrice only felt that her cheek was slightly hot. She understood the deep meaning in lanli's eyes, but she felt as if her mind had been peeped through. She could not help being shy, and she did not dare to look up at Dave for fear that her thoughts would be exposed again - how shy!
If he could, he thought that he should turn around and leave now - he didn't want to continue to socialize with that guy any more. He always felt that he was oppressed all the time. That kind of feeling of suffocation was terrible. It made him feel very stupid, but if he left at this point, Today, there is no way to maximize the benefits of the one million pounds.
damn!
Deep down in his heart, Dave cursed and hesitated for a moment, but he still raised his spirits. Later, the reception will be the real battlefield.
"Trish? Are you ok? " For the time being, let's put aside the cocktail party. Now that those things have been auctioned, even if he doesn't like them, he should make the best use of them. In fact, the only idea in his mind now is to burn his guitar and music score. He doesn't want to see these things in Beatrice's room, but... He can't, let alone say it's a million pounds, Not just for Beatrice.
It's depressing!
Beatrice came back to herself at this time and looked at Dave with her eyes secretly. "I... Er, I'm fine! Yes, I'm really good. " But Beatrice couldn't help sighing in amazement, "ah! I forgot to ask for an autograph from Langley
Dave felt like he was suffering.
On the other hand, Langley left Beatrice and Dave behind for a while, and took the initiative to walk in the direction of Alexander.
Because Alexander always stood not far away, waiting for lanli. Even if someone came to say hello, Alexander just exchanged a few words, which showed that he didn't have a long talk. He asked the other party to go to the afternoon reception, and then stood in the same place again to wait for lanli.
Now seeing that blue Li came to meet him, Alexander's eyes also showed a slight smile.
Different from Andrey, Alexander is a very serious personality, seldom joking, because he is the eldest son of the family, and also because he is the successor of the next Duke of Hamilton. From small to large, he was raised according to the way of the head of the family.
But interestingly, Alexander is even more serious than his and Andrey's father, the current Duke of Hamilton, who is still a naughty boy in his late seventies. Then you can often hear the Duke of Hamilton say that Alexander "don't put on a vampire face, now even vampires will laugh." his father is not like his father Son is not like son, it is also a rare unique scene.
Duke Hamilton likes Raleigh very much, but Alexander is not. When he first met him, Raleigh almost thought that Alexander was Andrey's father, because Alexander is eighteen years older than Andrey, and he is forty-three years old this year. Coupled with his serious appearance, it's hard not to be misunderstood.
But later, Alexander and Langley contacted for several times, only to find that there was an old soul living in the little guy's young skin. Inadvertently, they could have more common language with Alexander, such as life experience, and Langley could also control Andre. This changed the situation. Today, Alexander and Raleigh are not friends, but they have a tacit understanding.
"Seeing Lord Alexander's smile doesn't mean I'm doing well today." Lan Li made fun of him.
Alexander has long been familiar with it. "You know there's no way today's auction can go wrong." Even if the conversation is full of humor, Alexander is always able to "get humor off target." "thank you very much today. Without you, I'm afraid today's auction will take on a different look. "
"Don't say it as if it's all my credit. I'll take it seriously, and I won't be modest." In fact, in addition to the two items of Langley, today's auction house has also received more than one million pounds, which is very rare for charity activities. The appeal of Alexander can be seen from the side.
Alexander did not continue to talk with Langley. The style of their conversation was different, but there was no doubt about their wisdom; I don't know about George's words for the moment, but the overall economic situation is in the doldrums. Even with your help, he won't last long. He's not an excellent fund manager. "
In two simple words, the amount of information is very large. Alexander told blue rite about the follow-up development, which also allows blue rite to change the plan at any time.
Blue Li gently jaw head, but do not intend to continue to talk about their family, just changed the topic, "later on, the reception, what needs my attention? Andre is not very clear
"You can handle it. Don't worry." Alexander did not continue to talk, "yes, the identity of Mr. 43 has been made clear. I think you and Andre need to be prepared. " Alexander didn't say it directly. Instead, he handed a business card to lanli. "In addition, Dave is not as stupid as he seems. He may not have a good academic record. He may have average management and business skills, but he knows how to manage contacts better than his father."
"She didn't grow up in a castle. Although love can make people blind, I heard that this relationship was introduced by the Duke of Cambridge." The subtext is that Dave can go through the double checks of William and Beatrice. Obviously, he is not a soft persimmon.
Alexander gently agreed, but did not continue to say anything, turned away from the position, "I have guests, I think you too."
