[Titanic] Harbor

She faltered there for a while, but couldn't say anything.For Erica, her greatest courage is probably to say "like", and going forward, it belongs to the category of zealous but not daring.

Green didn't ask her, he said apologetically, "I ruined the proposal."

"Isn't it trapped?" Erica was sitting upright by Green's bed, pretending to be watching the layout of Green's bedroom. Her eyes were everywhere, but she just didn't look at Green.

She shouldn't have appeared in such a private place, but in a hurry, she had already followed in.

Green's bedroom is large and is the master's room.The layout of the room is square, and the walls are covered with gold-painted wallpapers with very complicated patterns.There is a crystal chandelier on top of his bedroom, which is exquisite in workmanship and free of any dust.

The bed Green lay on was also huge, taking up about half of the room.The bed sheets and quilt covers are only made of cotton and linen, which looks very comfortable, but it doesn't fit in with the structure of the room.The bed curtain was rolled up high, it didn't hang down, and it didn't occupy people's sight. It looked refreshing.

"The decoration here has been like this since I bought it."

"I know." Erica was secretly glad that Green didn't continue with the hot topic just now.She cooperated and analyzed: "I walked all the way, there are no oil paintings in the corridor, and there are none in your bedroom. This should not be a matter of personal preference. After all, your guest room on that ship is quite well-furnished That's right. So you haven't arranged much here before, right?"

Oil paintings are important exhibits to measure a family's heritage.Even some ordinary nouveau riche will put great effort into buying some famous paintings, since it is to support the facade, and on the other hand, it is also a source of conversation with customers.

There are several types of paintings to buy, and if you buy them as famous paintings, you can put them on the shelf and only invite some guests with relatively high social status to watch them, and pass them on to future generations as family treasures.

The other is investment, buying some worthless works from galleries, and then one day, after these paintings appreciate in value, they can make a lot of money.

"Is this weird? I'm not used to someone staring at me to fall asleep at night." Green looked at the layout of the room, and then said: "Except for the bed, I kept everything in the original layout. I think here Need a hostess”

"Isn't this your family's ancestral home?" Erica forced to look at Green in astonishment, skipping the word "mistress" in Green.

The density consultant was also very strange: "This is my adoptive father's house." He thought Erica knew it long ago.Green's adoptive father was a failed businessman. After he inherited the manor from his ancestors, he sold many things in the house due to poor management.Especially the oil paintings here, almost none left, all of them were sold off.

And he didn't adopt Green from the beginning.When Green was eleven or twelve years old, this gentleman took a fancy to Green's business talent, so he adopted the Privy Councilor into his home. He gave Green a basic education, and then squandered the money Green earned with peace of mind.

Green's mother was the daughter of a baron, but the baron had no children in his life. After his death, Green's mother failed to receive any gifts from the distant heir. She lived very poorly and passed away early.

Although the identity of Green's father is a mystery, given the current status of the Privy Councilor, no one is ignorant to ask carefully.

"It seems that there are many things I don't know." Erica decided to go back and have a good communication with Mrs. Dalton. Her mother should know these things in great detail.

"If you're free recently, don't hesitate to buy some oil paintings. Although this thing can't be the main profit, it can still make a fortune." Erica thought of Ruth, and she didn't know if she would reconcile with Jack. , how are you doing now?

"For example?" Green wanted to hear Erica's advice on art.Although these things cannot feed people, they are indeed essential.

"For famous writers, you can spend money at auctions. For poor painters like Vincent and Cézanne, you can spend a sum of money to buy some of their works."

"I seem to have heard this remark on that ship." Green thinks Vincent is just Van Gogh? "I remember that this is Miss Ruth's opinion on paintings. She is indeed very keen on buying Mr. Van Gogh's paintings. I remember that she is... Mr. Karl's fiancée?"

"It's the ex-fiancée. I thought you had seen the Hockley family's divorce statement." Erica said dumbfoundedly: "Ruth's recommendation is reasonable, this Mr. Van Gogh already has everything necessary to become famous. condition."

She found that if she couldn't say anything in detail, Green would insist on making circles with her about Ruth.God knows, Ruth has never had any news. As an instigator, she is more guilty than anyone else.

"People who paint Impressionism now can only be followers. Van Gogh's painting method is even bolder. His paintings are highly recognizable, with bright colors and bright colors. He mainly focuses on portraits. Those coiled lines are his unique style. .and add a 'Vincent' title, it's a very meticulous man."

"You came up with this yourself?"

Of course, this is some fragments of information that I occasionally saw in modern times. "The result of my discussion with Miss Ruth."

"Very bold assumption. I think I will refer to your opinion." Green nodded.

Erica clicked so far, seeing too many oil paintings displayed in the corridors and rooms of other people's homes, and suddenly saw Green's "house with four walls" style, Erica was really not used to it.

"About that Miss Ruth..." Green looked at Erica. After Ruth disappeared, he got a little information about her.But Green was a little unsure whether he wanted to tell Erica.

"Any news about her? God knows, I'm really worried about her."

She instilled her ideal type in Ruth, encouraged Ruth to take a bottomless path, and let her pursue love.She herself turned around when she reached a dangerous place, which is really a very unethical behavior.

"I saw her at a gallery where she was doing sales. Very... articulate."

"Maybe there is a blond man beside her?" Erica looked at Green expectantly.

The Privy Councilor frowned, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I remember that you had a good impression of that man named Jack when you were on the boat."

"Jack belongs to Ruth." Erica urged Green to finish the matter quickly.

"Then are you mine?" the Privy Councilor asked immediately.

"It depends." Erica snorted a few times and said perfunctorily.She didn't dare to look into Green's eyes, because Green seemed to like the style of a domineering president very much today.

The painting style changed too fast, and she couldn't keep up.

"You're in college? I mean, it's also influenced by...Miss Ruth?" Or because of what I said on the boat.

"I'm studying medicine." Erica didn't want to say much on the subject.She's only been at school for a day and really doesn't want anything to go wrong.

"Nursing?"

"It's medicine." Erica knew that this kind of wordplay could not be fooled by Green.It is impossible for a Privy Councilor not to know the difference between medicine and nursing.

There is a stark difference between doctors and nurses.

"Why do you want to learn this?" Green couldn't understand this.

"Just do what I like to do." Erica thought of that Ms. May.She may not have that kind of courage and enthusiasm, but she can at least set an example for future generations, or provide some funds for their activities.

"It's becoming more and more common for women to work now. It just didn't occur to me that you would want to be a nurse." Green continued, "Before I left New York, Tom mentioned you to me. He didn't expect it."

In fact, Tom's original words were to tell Green to be careful with Erica.Tom thought Erica was too hard-hearted, a girl who would sell a lot for her own benefit.He satirized Green, hoping that he would be careful not to become a stepping stone for Erica to go up.

"He really likes me!" Erica smiled stiffly.

She thought that Green had forgotten what happened just now, but Green continued to say: "Medical science is bloody, and your identity doesn't require you to operate on the operating table yourself."

"Maybe I aspire to be like Elizabeth Blackwell?"

"But you're clearly not. I thought you'd prefer business."

"Indeed. And it has something to do with my business. I will use this skill in the future." Erica didn't want to talk about her business any more.

"You must at least tell me which aspect you are investing in." The Privy Councilor asked with some concern.

"Water transportation and venture capital." Erica stood up from Green's bed, and she opened Green's pocket watch beside the bed.

Three o'clock in the afternoon.She should go back and report the frightening news of her engagement to her parents.

It was written in the lace newspaper before that she couldn't find her next family at all, so it should be self-defeating.Erica was about to put the pocket watch away, but saw a note fall out of the pocket watch.

"What?" She bent down to pick it up.
