Chapter 528 Home
After Zhen Fan told the story to Claire again, he carefully put the jade pendant that imprisoned the three souls on Claire's neck, and then gently held Claire's small hand in his arms. He gently picked it up, then put it under the quilt, covered her with the quilt, and pressed it lightly, then kissed her forehead contentedly, and walked into the living room.
Annie was still sitting on the sofa, staring at the TV, but she was in a daze. After hearing the sound of Zhen Fan opening the door, she came to her senses and smiled apologetically at Zhen Fan.
"I'm sorry, I always make you worry." Annie shrugged at Zhen Fan, but her expression was a little unnatural, "It's so late today, or... you can stay!" Saying these words Annie mustered up a lot of courage when she said this, because she knew what it meant when she said it.
This is the United States, and the end result of saying this sentence is that two people have sex.
Zhen Fan was stunned for a moment, and then laughed. He knew that Annie had great courage to say such words, but seeing her face was a little unnatural, and he knew that she might not be ready yet to say such words. In a word, the bigger factor is that I have helped her again and again, making her feel that she is the person she might want to rely on.
"I want to stay too!" Zhen Fan gently held Annie's face, and stroked her hair affectionately, "But... we are not ready, are we? Why do we have to force ourselves?"
"No, no... I... I'm ready!" Annie murmured, but followed Zhen Fan to gently comb her hair. She felt a little weak all over.
"Have a good night's sleep and forget what happened tonight, you and Claire... I promise. I won't let you get hurt again." Zhen Fan gently pulled his hand away and smiled slightly, " Well, I should go, this night is not bad, if you don’t meet ghosts on Halloween, then it’s bad!”
"Ha—" Annie was amused by Zhen Fan. She was still a little embarrassed, but she suddenly relaxed. In fact, she was quite nervous just now. However, Zhen Fan's actions made her relax. Perhaps as Zhen Fan said, neither he nor Zhen was ready.
As for what to do in the future, Annie didn't think about it. She even wanted to live her whole life under the care and protection of this man. There was nothing to strive for, and since Thomas broke her heart, she didn't want to ask for anything from a man other than Zhen.
"Goodbye, Annie!" Zhen Fan nodded to Annie at the door, and then closed the door gently.
When Zhen Fan returned, all the women returned home. Strangely enough, none of them washed up and went to bed, but gathered in the hall. Chatting, and looking at the door from time to time.
As if waiting for yourself.
"Are you waiting for me?" Zhen Fan looked at Mia, then at the other women. Mia is much more reliable than them. So he asked Mia this sentence.
"Yes, we are waiting for you, boss, because today... oh, just now, Mr. Bit Jackson, the great Hollywood director, gave me a call and asked me to tell you personally that he found you a job .Yes, from the day after tomorrow, you must be in the crew. His film has started!"
Without waiting for Mia to speak, Olivia performed her duties as a secretary like a standard voice announcer, and reported to Zhen Fan.
"Just tonight? Just now?" Zhen Fan looked at Olivia in surprise. This bit is a weird thing. During Halloween, he actually gave Zhen Fan such a job.
"Yes, that's what he said!" Olivia also laughed. It was obvious that Bit's phone call made everyone feel incredible. This guy really... seems to be doing it on purpose.
"Okay, okay, I'll call him again tomorrow!" Zhen Fan shook his head, this time in such a hurry, it means that there must be something wrong with Bit, "But...you are here...do you still have a party? It's almost ten o'clock at night now." Zhen Fan brought the topic to this.
"No, it's like this. Olivia made some pumpkin pie, and she wants you to try it!" Mia smiled. When Olivia proposed to make pumpkin pie, Mia was a little surprised, but now she is Got it, Olivia is just a secretary here, but she likes it here.
Compared with Mia and Helena, her presence is the worst. After all, she is just a secretary, and Zhen Fan can fire her at any time, which is why she wants to persuade Zhen Fan to work as the supervisor of the service personnel on the yacht. She wants to find a sense of presence here.
"Okay, I can try it, but I hope your pumpkin pie is better than your dan dan noodles!" Zhen Fan laughed. He had a good impression of Olivia. She has a strong temper. During the period when she was a secretary, it really relieved Zhen Fan of many burdens, and also made Zhen Fan more regular in doing things. Going to cook Chinese food.
"Of course, my skill of making pumpkin pie is inherited from my family. I have been doing it for ten years!" Olivia looked more confident when she mentioned this, and then she proudly raised her neck and walked into the kitchen , and after a while, two plates were brought out. The plates were indeed pumpkin pies, but they were made with many beautiful patterns.
It is not only made into patterns, but also looks at the color, and is also mixed with many different ingredients. It is not called pure pumpkin pie, but an improved version of pumpkin pie.
The pumpkin pie made by Olivia was really delicious. Zhen Fan ate a few more pieces, and some pieces were shared by Mia and Helena. Olivia, who was praised by Zhen Fan, was very happy, and then the women Washed up and ready for bed. When Olivia and Helena entered the room, Zhen Fan deliberately kept Mia behind.
The two sat on the terrace talking, Zhen Fan poured two glasses of wine, handed one to Mia, then sat beside her, looked at her and smiled: "Just now Olivia behaved strangely, you are just sitting in the hall To make pumpkin pie for me?" Zhen Fanhe obviously couldn't believe it was that simple.
"Yes, it's that simple!" Mia's answer was completely different from what Zhen Fan thought.
"Why?" Zhen Fan was surprised.
"Do you know how long Olivia has been preparing these materials for making pumpkin pie?" Mia looked at Zhen Fan and shook her head and smiled. Zhen Fan is still not very delicate about these things, but men don't pay attention to women's details. "Do you know how long she practiced repeatedly in front of the book in order to make pumpkin pie?"
Zhen Fan shook his head, suddenly looked at Mia in surprise, and said in surprise, "You mean...she learned how to make pumpkin pie? But why do I feel like it was made by a chef? Same. At least I know that this is not a taste that a novice can make!"
"Because you didn't understand what happened, so... your sense of taste deceived you. To tell you the truth, Olivia didn't have ten years of experience in making pumpkin pies, but ten days!" Mia laughed, Because of Olivia's little conspiracy, yes, this little conspiracy makes people feel very warm.
"This...that's unbelievable!" Zhen Fan shook his head and laughed, "But...why did she do this? Just to please the boss? It's impossible. Anyway, I can still see Harvard graduates from her. Do you know the reason for that kind of arrogance?"
"Of course I know." Mia sighed, showing a helpless expression to Zhen Fan, and then took a sip of wine lightly, "The important reason why she did this is to tell you that she still wants to Staying here for a while, it's not like you guessed, it's just her transition period."
"But... there's no need to do this!" Zhen Fan shook his head, expressing that he couldn't understand the woman's mind. No matter how many supernatural powers he has, it is impossible to know the changes in a woman's mind.
"It is necessary, do you know what she once said?" Mia looked at Zhen Fan, "You are really not a good boss, you don't know the emotions and thoughts of your subordinates, and you don't know how to show due concern for your subordinates. "
"Well, this is my problem." Zhen Fan spread his hands and smiled, "After all, she lives with us. It was my fault for ignoring her!"
"She likes this place and regards it as her home. I don't know why. Maybe it's because she likes the atmosphere here. It's like home to her!" Mia thought for a while, "This is just my home. Presumably, because she once told me that her home is hardly like a home. She lives alone with her father and is also fostered in her uncle's home, and she has no sense of belonging in those homes at all!"
"I see!" Zhen Fan nodded, and then smiled at Mia, "Actually...not just her, but I also feel this way, only when I stay at home, can I feel that no matter how much I go Far away, I always think of going back here first, and it turns out that this is the feeling of home.”
"You have an exclamation now? A philosopher or a poet?" Mia smiled.
"I'm nothing, I'm the master of the house!" Zhen Fan laughed, then drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said to Mia, "Okay, I should go to bed too. Today... harvest There are quite a lot. Good night, Mia!" He left alone after speaking.
Looking at the back of Zhen Fan leaving, Mia smiled slightly, with the corners of her mouth curled up, yes, this is the feeling of home, why not in her heart? Perhaps this feeling of mine is stronger than that of Olivia, because the mutual love and intimacy released by each other make everyone living here feel this way.
Thinking of this, Mia also drank the wine in one gulp, then stared blankly at the night sky and the stars in the night sky, just like what Zhen said, everyone is a star with its own trajectory , but since God made his trajectory coincide with Zhen's, then there should be sparks of collision.
After thinking about it, for a while, Mia became a little crazy! (To be continued..) u
