Confrontation in the abyss

Before leaving the office, Zhou Cho received a call from Aiwa.

"Dear Dean, I have encountered a troublesome thing." Eva's voice was a bit coquettish, but Zhou Cho knew that there was no ambiguity between him and her.

"Oh, let's hear it."

If it wasn't for Aiwa's phone call, Zhou Cho and An Sen might not be able to leave Red Scorpion's "palace" so easily.He regards Eva as a friend, and Eva responds accordingly.

The relationship between them is not as simple as who saved who or who wants to return a favor to whom.

"I'm picking out dancing shoes to dance with you. But they're all so beautiful, I don't know which pair to choose..."

Zhou Cho laughed unconsciously.

"Where are you?"

"Home."

Zhou Cho laughed again, "Don't tell me you bought a bunch of dancing shoes and came home, and you don't know which pair to wear."

"You guessed it right. Would you like to accompany me to pick out a pair of dancing shoes and dance a tango?"

"no problem."

Zhou Chou drove to Aiwa's mansion.

When he was led into the living room by bodyguards in black, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

Eva stood in the middle of hundreds of pairs of dancing shoes, like a proud queen.Different colors are gorgeous, embellished with colored diamonds, shining like stars under the light.

Zhou Cho let out an exclamation, and Eva turned around and saw Zhou Cho showing a smile, stepping on the gap between the shoes and hugging him.

"Help me, Dean! I really don't know which pair to pick."

"In terms of dancing shoes, besides being beautiful, the most important thing is comfort. You can put them on your feet and dance with me to try and see which pair suits you best."

"Then don't I want to spend my whole life dancing?" Eva smiled innocently.

Zhou Cho took her hand and slowly turned it around.

"Why don't you put it another way—you're going to spend your whole life holding my hand."

Eva was slightly taken aback, "This is the most beautiful sentence I have ever heard in my life."

Zhou Cho put his arms around Ewa, and walked between the gaps in the shoes, everything was so slow that it was about to stop.

Eva swayed along with Zhou Chou, she traced Zhou Chou's facial features in detail, and leaned her head on his shoulder.

"You told me that tango is actually a language."

"Hmm." Zhou Cho agreed.

"I love this language because it's very emotional."

Zhou Cho knew that when Aiwa asked him to come, it was definitely not as simple as picking out a pair of dancing shoes or dancing a dance.

"Dean, I wish I could find you every time I feel like dancing."

"I hope so too."

"But I don't want you to come into my world at all. Because once you're in, it's hard to get out. No matter how much you want to leave here, everything in the past will follow you like a nightmare." Eva whispered in Zhou Chou's ear Side, with such an affectionate gesture, "Honey, so whether it's the Red Scorpion, Anson wants it, or even me... stay away. Just like before, you can stand outside and watch, but absolutely not You can get stuck in it."

"I know." Zhou Cho led her to turn around, and then gently pulled her back into his arms.

No matter what Aiwa has experienced, or what kind of position Interpol has given her, Zhou Cho knows that this woman has the most sincere and simple side in front of him.

When he returned to the office the next morning, Zhou Cho saw several design samples and a report on the table.It seems that Marin's work efficiency is really fast. Zhou Chip picked it up and flipped through it, showing a satisfied smile.Regarding this month's jewelry design meeting in the morning, Zhou Zhou was very relaxed.He felt in his heart that Marin should be given a raise.

After the meeting, Leila smiled and walked side by side with Zhou Choo.

"You have a new assistant, and it's very eye-catching."

"Do you need me to introduce you? Maybe you can go out for a cup of coffee together." Zhou Cho knew that Leila might hurt him.

"I was just wondering if you don't need my assistant anymore."

Zhou Cho understood what Leila meant. Zhou Cho didn't ask Leila to go with him the last time he went to Red Scorpion, which also made Zhou Choo not have a suitable coordinator around him after he met Red Scorpion, which made the organization's actions invalid.

"You are forever irreplaceable."

"I think so too. The mayor and the mayor's wife are inviting you to dinner tonight. I think you need me as a companion." Leila smiled and walked away.

The mayor was re-elected after a bit of an election battle, and a week later was his gala, with Young serving as the mayor's wife's jewelry design for the evening.

Although it wasn't a formal dinner, Layla was well dressed.The mayor booked the dinner on the top floor of the W Hotel. As Zhou Zhou expected, William?Goodwin was also an invited guest at the dinner. The consortium behind MASSIVE is the force behind the election of the mayor.

William showed a mature and charming smile to Zhou Chou. Sometimes Zhou Chou felt that he should not be a businessman, but a politician.Guaranteed that the moment his smile appears on the poster, all the female citizens in the city will vote for him.

"Long time no see, Dean."

"You still have the same demeanor." Zhou Choo has not received the order to terminate the mission, contact William?It is still within the purview of Goodwin to obtain MASSIVE's information.

The atmosphere of the dinner was very good, the mayor and William had a good talk in detail, and Zhou Chou and the mayor's wife had similar tastes, which was very topical.When the dinner was about to end, the mayor received a call and left with the mayor's wife first.Only Zhou Cho, Leila and William were left at the table.Leila understood that she was here, and it was impossible for William and Zhou Cho to have any substantive communication, so she found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

William leaned back on the seat, folded his arms in a leisurely gesture, "I heard that you met the Red Scorpion in Las Vegas' Reid Casino."

"Yes, he asked me to play cards."

"I'm afraid it's not just playing cards, is it?" William chuckled. "It's really beyond my expectation that you can return to New York alive. I heard that Anson and Eva asked for someone from the Red Scorpion at the same time. I have to say that I underestimated your influence."

William's news came so fast.

"Yes, but I know very well that I won't have such good luck next time."

"Indeed. Because if you meet the red scorpion again, his poisonous tail will definitely nail you to death." William really couldn't tell if he was joking or serious about what he said.

Leila came slowly from the bathroom, and the three of them walked into the elevator together.

It takes a long time to go down from the top floor of the W Hotel to the first floor.

It's just that when we reached the 20th floor, the elevator stopped suddenly, and the lights dimmed instantly.

"What's going on!" William took out his mobile phone to light up, and Zhou Cho picked up the communicator.

"It's an elevator malfunction, and they're sending someone over to fix it."

Leila smiled helplessly, leaning against the wall and said, "It's like a scene from a horror movie."

"Guess, who among us will die?" Zhou Cho also joked.

"You two are so boring." William said helplessly.

But they waited like this for half an hour.Troubleshooting, not so fast to bring them up.

"I feel so hot." The ventilation system in the elevator had stopped, and Leila's long dress was sticking to her back with sweat.

"You can take it off, we can't see it anyway." Zhou Zhao joked with a smile, but no one laughed.

Another 10 minutes passed, and the fault was still not resolved.William kept asking them to pry open the elevator door to let them go up, but the elevator door happened to be stuck in the "air castle" on the 27th floor, and there was no way to knock on the elevator.

"I want some fresh air."

William, who has always been calm, unexpectedly revealed anxiety in his voice.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" Zhou Cho stepped forward to pat him, only to find that the back of his suit was wet.

"My body is not as healthy as it looks," William said half-mockingly. "I have asthma."

Zhou Tuo paused, William looked very strong, but he didn't expect to have asthma.

"Leyla, step on me up and see if you can lift the top of the elevator, we need some fresh air." Zhou Cho knelt on the ground.

Leila took off her high heels and stepped on Zhou Cho's thighs to his shoulders. The elevator car of the W Hotel is higher than that of ordinary hotels, and Leila has to sit on Zhou Chou's shoulders to reach the top of the elevator.

"How, can you open it?" Zhou Zhao asked.

"Give some light."

William uses his mobile phone to illuminate her.Leila took out the key from the bag, unscrewed the shutter on the top of the elevator, and then lifted the shutter.

Cool air rushed in.

Zhou Tzu grabbed Leila's arm and put her on the ground with a skill.

William leaned against the wall and closed his eyes, breathing.

"I know you are a busy person, but remember to check up on time." Zhou Cho chuckled.

They were trapped for two hours before the elevator resumed normal operation.

As the CEO of MASSIVE, William has a lot of opinions on this. He asked the head of operations of the W Hotel to resign himself.

Indeed, the guests coming and going in the W Hotel are either rich or expensive. Not only did the elevator have problems, but it took two hours to solve the problem. If it was Zhou Choo, he would do the same thing as William.

The doorman parked Zhou Cho's car at the door, and William sent them away in person.Watching Zhou Cho's car driving into the distance, William had a dull and deep expression on his face.

He took the elevator back to his hotel room again, took out his cell phone and made a call.

"Hey, Mr. Lorenzo, do you know who I'm having dinner with today?"

Melodious Bach music came from the other end of the phone, followed by Anson's voice.

"Not with the mayor? Oh, yes, and Dean."

"I guessed that you would pay attention to his every word and deed. Today's dinner was good, but there were some accidents after the end."

"Really?" Anson couldn't hear the joy in his voice. He still kept his head up on the sofa, closed his eyes, and tapped the sofa cushion with his fingers and music.

"We were stuck in the elevator and I was a bit sick and needed some fresh air, and Dean and Layla helped me knock the roof off."

"You should thank them."

"Yeah, they have a tacit understanding like special police or mercenaries who often go on missions."

An Sen pointed his fingers, and then laughed: "You don't know that Leila was originally invited by Yang Jin to be Dean's bodyguard."

"Oh, that's right, I suddenly envied Dean. His bodyguard is an attractive woman, unlike those around us who wear black suits all day long, making it hard to tell whether they are bodyguards or gangsters."

An Sen raised the corner of his lips: "Do you want me to send you some female bodyguards?"

"Thank you, I was afraid I would die."

After the phone hung up, Anson hooked his finger at Richard.

"Get Dean to the shooting range this weekend for me."

"With all due respect, Mr. Yang doesn't seem to like you very much."

"I believe you have ten thousand ways to get Dean to the date." Anson continued to close his eyes and enjoy the music.
