Chapter 268 Rejection
"Hello, Mr. Stark."

Cassell said with a smile while extending his right hand towards Roger.

Roger glanced at Cassel and shook his hand.

"Hello there!"

Although Cassel hasn't said anything yet, Roger can already see what this guy is planning.

Sure enough, as soon as they shook hands, Cassel said to Diana: "I have two tickets for the Russian National Ballet's performance at the Metropolitan Theater. Do you want Miss Prince to come together?"

Cassel simply ignored Roger, as if he didn't exist at all.

"Thank you for your kindness, but I have an appointment with Stark for dinner tonight."

Diana showed a charming smile that could not find any questions, and declined Cassel's invitation.

"Dinner can be eaten at any time, and the dance troupe's performance is only the last day."

"I know you like ballet, Prince, so I specially asked a friend to get you two front-row VIP tickets."

Cassel did not give up and continued.

"It's still not necessary, thank you for your kindness."

Diana refused again.

For ordinary people, by this time, they should almost give up.

But I don’t know if artists have more personalities, or it’s just that Cassel doesn’t understand what rejection is, he said again: “If you’re worried about missing an appointment, it’s okay, I can tell Mr. Stark. "

After speaking, Cassel finally set his sights on Roger again.

Then, in an annoyingly haughty tone, he said slowly: "Mr. Stark, since you are Miss Prince's friend, you should know that Miss Prince is a person who likes art very much. "

"You probably won't be leaving the metropolis for a short time, why don't you ask Miss Prince next time. After all, if you miss the performance of the dance troupe, you really miss it."

"You know what I mean?"

Although Kassel acted like a gentleman on the bright side, his haughty tone couldn't make people feel comfortable.

When Cassel looked at him with that "you don't know what's good" eyes, Roger showed a kind smile.

Then he made a move that neither Diana nor Cassel had expected.

Under Cassel's gaze, he came to Diana's right.

Then, he stretched out his right hand and hugged Diana's extremely alluring and elastic slender waist.

Not only that, he also flicked his palm and stroked Diana's waist.

"Mr. Cassel, art does not fill the stomach."

"Miss Prince doesn't know how to reject others. Of course, your brain full of artistic cells can't understand Miss Prince's rejection."

"As a male friend of Miss Prince, let me solemnly tell you that stalking is something only a man with no character will do."

"If you don't want your brain full of artistic cells to leave the bright red color of postmodernism, I advise you to leave now obediently."

After speaking, Roger's right hand slightly exerted force, making Diana's whole body stick to him.

Why didn't Cassel expect that Roger would say such a thing to him.

"You... you..."

Just when he was about to say something, Roger raised his left hand, clenched his fist in front of Cassel, and made a cracking sound of bone rubbing.

After hearing this voice, Cassel decisively chose to shut up.

After staring at Roger unwillingly for a few seconds, he snorted and turned away.

When Cassel turned away, Diana grabbed Roger's right hand and let him loosen her waist.

At the same time, she said slowly: "Mr. Stark, it is also very rude to hug a woman without her consent."

Even though she said that, there was no displeasure on Diana's face.

"Isn't this to help you get rid of the boring flies?"

Roger smiled back.

Then he came to the side of the car and opened the co-pilot's door.

"Miss Prince, please!"

Looking at Roger's actions at this time, Diana showed a helpless smile, and then sat in the co-pilot seat in a charming manner.

Of course, Diana herself didn't have any coquettish ideas.

It's just that, for a beauty like her, even if she moves naturally and casually, she is equally charming in the eyes of men.

After closing the car door, Roger returned to the car, started the car and drove towards the reserved restaurant.

In order to facilitate their meals, the people in the branch did not book a restaurant that was too far from the art museum, but booked a French restaurant less than ten blocks away from the art museum.

Roger parked the car directly in front of the restaurant, then got out of the car, and entered the restaurant with Diana.

The car parked at the door will naturally have an attendant to park it for him, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it.

After being seated, Roger handed over the ordering to Diana.

Although he has eaten a lot of French food, he doesn't know much about French food.

More importantly, he didn't know Diana's taste.

So instead of ordering it yourself, it is better to give this task to Diana directly.

Although Diana is not French, she knows a lot about French food.

In any case, she has lived in human society for six to seventy years.

She has experienced all the delicacies from various countries that should be experienced.

After Diana ordered all the starters, soup, fish, main course, hot dish, cold dish, dessert, etc., Roger ordered a bottle of 82-year-old Bordeaux Cheval Blanc.

When the waiter left, Diana asked Roger, "Why do you suddenly want to come to the Metropolis?"

"It's nothing, I've lived in Gotham for a long time, so I'll change my mood in another city."

Roger said slowly.

"Do you think I will believe it?" Diana gave him a blank look.

"I do have the idea of ​​changing my mood, but this is not the main purpose."

"I came here mainly to resolve the omen given by your father, and to meet your friends by the way."

Roger did not hide from Diana, but revealed his main purpose.

Of course, he didn't say anything about improving the conversion efficiency of Shining's divine power.

This has nothing to do with Diana.

If I had to say it, the relationship between Shining Divine Power and Zeus would be a little bigger.

"While you were conducting those experiments, I went back to Paradise Island and consulted my mother."

"Although she doesn't know what this prediction means, she agrees that I will take you to Paradise Island."

Diana said quickly.

"Let's talk about this later. Except for your father, no one knows whether the omen is good or bad."

"Before I figure out the answer, I think it's better for me to stay as far away from Paradise Island as possible."
