Chapter 109

The party ended at nine o'clock in the evening. Such parties usually do not last long. If the guests themselves are interested, it will be available after the show ends. You can choose to chat privately or find another place to chat. Maybe we can chat, or we have something we need. Collaboration can then begin from there. Abel's biggest message tonight comes from John J. Brown. I know the interest and favor of Texas society. The second advantage is Ikana's attitude. I still feel the same after tonight. Ikana's attitude towards herself was clearly much closer than the previous two times. I guess why. Maybe today was the third date, with the previous two, the third relationship always went better. The so-called first birth and second birth are familiar. It could also be this smart girl. About the name and identity of John J. Brown. guessed that he had a "very close relationship" with the Texas company. Apparently between an upstart Wall Street tycoon and a major financial company. The latter is scarier, more impressive, and at the same time makes you want to get closer. Abel felt perhaps she misunderstood that being close to him meant being close to Texas society. And maybe now it's celebrating. Amanda Hearst's appearance and initiative brought about this change for her. Just now, Amanda Hearst was chatting with Abel not only when they sat at the same table. Instead, he even went to chat twice with Abel at the buffet afterwards. Once with his mother, Anne Hirst. This time everything was fine, Amanda was only responsible for beautifying herself and smiling without saying much. At the same time, Ikana was also nearby and sixteen year old Amanda was chatting with nineteen year old Ikana. They also met each other naturally, after all they were famous people in the same group in New York. It seemed like they had a nice conversation and people who didn't know might think they were good friends. The third time, while Ikana was going to the bathroom, Amanda snuck in again. When Ikana walked out, she saw Amanda Hearst blooming beautifully next to Abel, smiling extremely happily. This kind of laugh probably made Ikana very stunned. It could be these reasons, or others. Before Ikana gets in the car at the end of the scene, and Abel's relationship and distance, seemed to be getting closer without even realizing it. At least during the party, she did not continuously refuse Abel's physical contact. At some point, she will even take the initiative to get closer to Abel. She looked drunk when she got in the car. Under the dim light of the back compartment, Ikana's face was rosy and slightly drunk, her broken hair on her forehead blowing with the cold breeze from the air conditioner. These bright red lips are especially provocative when kissing Fangze. On top of that, she even closed her eyes. This thick-skinned beauty is generally more attractive when drunk. What is the beauty of wine? Maybe that's it. ".Ikana, Ikana, are you drunk?" Abel called softly. After calling several times, Ikana opened her small eyes and looked at Abel with a puzzled expression. "Open?" she whispered. "Haha~" Abel laughed softly, "If you don't wake up, I will kiss you and take you back to the hotel." Ikana's face shone with confusion and she whispered in a drunken voice, "You can't do that, Abel." "Obviously I didn't do that." Abel shrugged: "But you have to tell me where you want me to take you, otherwise I can only take you to the hotel or my house." "Forehead" Ikana sat up, stroked his thin forehead and said: "Alright. Abel, please call your driver at 40 Wall Street." "Is this the Manhattan Bank Building? Oh, yes, it now has a new name, the Ted Lena Building." » Abel said smiling. Ikana smiled and nodded in response. The Manhattan Bank Building, or now the Ted Lener Building, is a skyscraper located in New York, United States, between Nassau Street and William Street in Manhattan, at 40 Wall Street (40 Wall Street). This skyscraper was originally called the Manhattan Bank Tower. In 1995, Ikana's father, D. Ted Lerner, bought the building and renamed it what it is today. This building has a total of 70 floors. It was completed in 1930 and the construction period lasted only 11 months. It was the tallest building in the world at the time and was later surpassed by the Chrysler Building. It is currently the 20th tallest building in the United States. It is a symbol of D. Ted Lerner's power and current wealth. At the same time, the top floor of this building is also the residence of Mr. D. Ted Lerner. After giving the order, driver Dexter took his place in the convoy. The black procession moved slowly through the crowded streets of Manhattan. The specially designed black Lincoln sedan fell into brief silence in the spacious and quiet rear compartment. Maybe I find the atmosphere strange. Abel spoke first and said: "Let's continue with the previous topic, Ikana. "Previous topic? » Ikana was surprised: "You're talking about Ms. Amanda Hearst, what do I have to do to succeed in my internship at a company in college?" That was the last topic they discussed before leaving. Another participant is Amanda Hearst. It's Amanda Hearst, and Ikana is going to the bathroom. Go talk to Abel, then Ikana comes out. Three people are talking to each other. "Ha~ No." Abel looked at Ikana's expression but couldn't see anything. This smart woman knows how to hide her emotions. "I don't know Miss Hurst. What I wanted to talk about was before we went into the party." "It's about YKM." Ikana said. YKM is Miss Ikana, the English abbreviation of the Miss Ikana brand. "Exactly." Abel nodded: "Maybe if you need, I can try becoming a shareholder of YKM." "Just before that, Ikana, I need you to convince me to become your shareholder." When Abel heard this, Ikana showed an extremely clear expression that cheered him up. "GOOD." She laughed. The next half hour, is Mrs. D. Ikana Lerner, Use the theoretical knowledge she acquired during her three years in business or at the Wharton School of Business. Dear Abel, please lead the way for YKM's further development and towards a bright future. "In short, it is obvious. Although YKM has now experienced some failures, these failures cannot defeat YKM. "I still believe that one day this could become a source of division for American women and even women around the world! » "In this way, its investors can also enjoy great reputation and benefits!" Maybe I'm a little drunk, or maybe I talked too much tonight. At this moment, Ikana's pleasant voice sounded a bit hoarse. She looked at Abel: "Then, after hearing my business secret. Mr. Smith, what do you think? "Very good. But I need a more complete plan." Abel smiled: "Also, the Ted Lena building is also here. Ikana, you're at home." Ikana turned her head to look out the window. Sure enough, she saw the convoy approaching the gate of the Ted Lena building. "Hmm~" Ikana breathed a sigh of relief, she turned around and smiled at Abel: "Okay, no problem. Abel, I will prepare a plan to send to your company. Thank you very much tonight, thank you for taking me." Abel signaled his agreement. Ikana started packing her things and got out of the car, mainly packing the small bag she was carrying. Abel could see that she was drinking and her movements were a bit less flexible. He shook his head, got out of the car early and walked towards Ikana. After she got out of the car door, he hugged her with one hand and covered the top of her head with the other so she wouldn't hit her head when she was drunk. "Be careful, Ikana, don't hit your head, don't fall." "I'm sorry. I had so much fun tonight, I drank too much." Ikana flashed him a beautiful smile, her face flushed and slightly tipsy, strangely seductive. "I usually don't drink much." She speaks. "Understood. How about I help you?" Abel said. "It couldn't have been better." Ikana answered with a smile. Abel started smiling, helped her and walked with her to the door of the Ted Lena building. Not far away, Edward and his colleagues went out early. They widened their stance, taking in Abel's view from every angle. Guaranteed that even if someone coldly shot him at this time, unless the bullet returned, it would not be able to hit Abel. As for Abel, he had the impression that perhaps Ikana was really drunk. Last night, she drank a lot of red wine. We know that red wine is often drunk in the evening. But when it explodes, the endurance is also very strong. Go to the Ted Lena building. He could feel most of Ikana's weight on him. Through Abel's soft crimson silk evening gown and vest sleeves If applied directly, it will definitely be pleasant to the touch. he told him. Plus the smell of premium red wine and the smell of special perfume sprayed on Ikana. Abel felt that at this moment, his hormones began to be mobilized for her. After a while, The two walked to the front of the Ted Lena building. "Miss Ikana?" A woman's voice rang out. Then Abel and Ikana, Then I saw a woman in her forties dressed as a hotel lobby manager rush out of the gate. is Jessica, the lobby manager of the Ted Lena Hotel in the Ted Lena Building. What Abel and Jessica didn't know was that Jessica had run away. Deep in Ikana's eyes, there was a flash of disappointment and anger. Perhaps Jessica's future career is facing difficulties. "Things are going well here. Abel, Jessica can send me." Ikana sighed passionately, smiling as she said to Abel who was supporting her. Abel shrugged and handed Ikana over to his hotel lobby manager. "Okay. I'm not going in anymore, I have to go back to shower first," he said. "Alright. Goodbye Abel, I had a lot of fun tonight. "Me too." Abel waved, smiled, turned and walked towards his car. Along with Ikana is the lobby manager, Jessica, in the building next door. As soon as he entered the building, the hotel lobby manager felt relieved. She looked up in surprise and saw that Mrs. Ikana just looked drunk, she suddenly relaxed. "Alright. We'll be there, Jessica," Ikana said. "I think you look drunk." "I'm not drunk. Jessica, it's okay. I'm fine, thank you." Ikana was neither salty nor salty, she had escaped the slightly inebriated state of a drunk girl in front of Abel. She is right now. Whether in speech or facial expression, he exudes a resolute temperament. This is very similar to him in YKM society. "Okay. Jessica, it's none of your business here." The voice of a middle-aged man appeared in front of the two. The two women waited impatiently, One of the people who found out was my boss and the other was my dad. It was D. Ted Lerner, a mogul of moderate reputation in New York and "famous" in America, who told his hotel lobby manager: "Do your job, Jessica." The boss appeared, Jessica nodded shyly and quickly left. The hotel lobby manager, in his forties, always felt like he did something wrong when he left. Otherwise, how could Miss Ikana be like this now, she's not normally like this. Jessica is in a worried mood. "It looked like he had been drinking." D. Ted Lerner looked at the child he was most pleased with. "Much? You might even be drunk." Do these people force you to drink alcohol? » Dr. Ted Lerner Curious. He knew his daughter had a good drinking ability, but based on her drinking ability alone, he couldn't drink her. Even many alcoholics cannot drink it. Unless they were surrounded and attacked at the drinking table, it would be difficult for anyone to get Ikana drunk. "No, no one forced me to drink. Besides, Dad, I'm not drunk." Even after Ikana changed her slightly drunk state in front of Abel, she didn't look as aggressive as she did in front of Jessica. She smiled like a good child and told D. Ted Lerner: "I drank a little but I'm not drunk." D Ted Lerner nodded and said, "Let's talk there, girl." Looking in the direction of the father's finger, it was a corner of the hotel lobby with several rows of sofas. There were even hotel guests lying on the sofa. "GOOD." Ikana said. Father and son arrived at a corner of the hotel lobby under the supervision of D. Ted Lerner's personal assistant. "Tell me, how was the harvest tonight?" After sitting down, D. Ted Lerner changes his over-the-top performance in front of strangers. His voice was as gentle as that of a father and a calm businessman: "I heard that the person who started this party was an unknown Texan. But the people who organized it were people like Murdoch. There were probably definitely a lot of people at the party and 'They were all of high status.' . , RIGHT? Ikana nodded first, then shook her head slightly. Then this D. Ted Lerner was the most satisfied. When she was young, she often regretted not being her son's daughter and said: "Some media moguls are actually union members." "But father, I want to make it clear that the main initiator, the Texan, is not an unknown person." "Oh? What do you mean?" D. Ted Lerner raised an eyebrow. "John J. Brown is the name of this Texan. » Ikana said: "Dad, does this name remind you of anything?" » "John J. Brown" Dr. Ted Lerner frowned. "That name is very common. But that last name, I think I heard it somewhere." Ikana has no secrets, she said frankly: "Dad, this man is the general manager of the Texas Commerce Bank branch in New York. In fact, this person was probably one of the representatives of the Texas Corporation in New York. " "Texas company? » » D. Ted Lerner asked in surprise. "There's no mistake," Ikana said. Ikana then told her father what she had seen and heard at the party. And it's likely the most important thing to him, too. Abel's involvement in the Texas John J. Brown Consortium. Of course, it doesn't tell the whole story. At first, Ikana thought it was meaningless. Second, D. Ted Lerner was not her only child and she felt she needed to make her own plans as well. After hearing his daughter's story, Mr. D. Ted Lerner was surprised and a little regretful. It's a shame that I didn't receive an invitation and can't attend tonight's event. "It seems like this kid has more experience than he looks like. Or maybe his talent has attracted the attention of a major company. "D. Ted Lerner said. Ikana nodded, signaling that her father was right. "GOOD." D. Ted Lerner said gently: "Ikana, you look tired. Go home and rest." "Okay, I think I really need to rest. Dad, then I'll start. "Yes." Ikana stood up, picked up her small bag and walked towards a corner of the building's lobby. There is a private elevator that can go straight to the top floor, which belongs to D. Ted Lerner's family residence. Just before taking two steps, Ikana heard her father's voice behind her. "Ikana." She stood still, turned around and looked at her father in confusion. Then she saw her signature smile on her father's face and saw her father give her a thumbs up. "Just now outside, you played very well." "But Jessica didn't mean it like that so don't blame her." "She's just trying to impress you." Ikana bit her lip, lipstick staining her white teeth. If Abel were there, Maybe I want to taste it. "Okay. Father." she speaks. (end of this chapter)
