Forced to focus on daily life [Comprehensive English and American]

Rosie went to the next city to attend a meeting and didn't come home until early in the morning. This incident caused an uproar in Mathers' house. Mr. Mathers and Mrs. Mathers stood in front of Rosie and took turns accusing her boss of being unkind and exploiting subordinates. After learning that Bruce Wayne's private yacht was attacked, and Rosie was on the yacht, she even slapped the table and demanded Rosie to resign immediately. Mrs. Mathers even called the medical examination institution, planning to let him Rosie is going for a full body check.

Rosie held the milk that Kailani had warmed for her early in the morning, lowered her head, listened to her parents taking turns to teach her, and sighed, thinking about what should have been a wonderful weekend, but it has not been the same since the morning. It's wonderful.

Under Rosie's strong request, the phone call that should have been made to the medical examination institution was not dialed in the end. Mrs. Mathers said bad things about Tony's boss, and generally told Kai Lani: "Rosie likes Chinese food. She prepares a little Chinese food to supplement nutrition, and stew some soup..."

Kailani blurted out: "Carp soup!"

Rosie couldn't help shouting: "Mom! Crucian carp soup is stewed for pregnant women!"

Finally, under the strong request of Rosie, Mrs. Mathers gave up the idea of ​​stewing crucian carp soup for her unmarried daughter. Mr. Mathers suggested that the Mathers family and the nanny Kailani drove Went to eat at a French restaurant in Midtown Manhattan.

It is only a 10-minute drive from the residential area to the French restaurant. During the 10-[-] minutes, Mr. Mathers chatted from what he saw at work to the two-person world with Mrs. Mathers in Italy. He clapped his hands for the last time and said: : "Baby Rosie, when you finish your internship in a few months, dad will take you to Italy, okay?"

At this time, Rosie was sleeping on the back seat, and when she suddenly heard the applause, she was startled, almost jumped up from the car seat, and at the same time pulled out a pistol/gun from the system.

Fortunately, she reacted in time, and Mrs. Mathers, who was sitting beside her, also blamed and said: "Rosie slept too late yesterday, and she was trying to catch up on sleep in the car. You made such a loud noise, you scared the child." have to."

Mr. Mathers was sitting in the co-pilot. Hearing this, he turned his head. He first looked at Rosie's slightly messy hair because she was sleeping on the seat, and then at the blue and black under her eyes, and sighed: "Honey, why don't you resign and come to my firm as an intern?"

Rosie hurriedly waved her hands: "No, Dad, I'm living in the Stark Group..." She paused, the scene of the boss smirking with his arms folded flashed in her mind, and she shook her head again, The scene of the boss rubbing her hair with a smile gradually came to mind, she lowered her head slightly and said, "I used to be in the Stark Group and had a good time."

After she finished speaking, there was a sudden silence in the carriage, and even Kailani slowed down a bit. She waited for a long time without waiting for anyone's answer, so she raised her head. , and met the complicated eyes of Mr. Mathers who turned his head.

Rosie tilted her head in doubt.

The next second, Mrs. Mathers said in a horrified tone: "Rosie, you must be in love with your boss!"

Rosie: "..."

At this time, the car also drove to the entrance of the French restaurant. Kailani stepped on the brake, quickly applied the handbrake, turned her head, stared at Rosie, and eagerly said in English with her Southeast Asian accent: "Rosie Qian! No! I read it in the newspaper before! Tony Stark has many rumored girlfriends! It is said that there are a dozen illegitimate children outside! It is said that every female employee of the Stark Group is his lover! You If you fall in love with him, it will be a disaster!"

Rosie: "..."

She was terrified by the three pairs of eyes staring at her, so she forced a smile and said: "Although I can swear that I have never fallen in love with our boss, this newspaper is too daring to write, even for the sake of the reputation of our group's female employees." I have to report to the boss too..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she immediately opened the car door and jumped out of the cramped compartment.

Midtown Manhattan at noon is quite noisy and muddy. Various car sounds and various accents are mixed together to form a special street view of the world's largest financial center.She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, looked up again, and the signboard of the restaurant facing the street came into her eyes, a line of French words "laroseblanche" in curly script, with a white rose on the verge of wilting flower.

Rosie stared at this signboard for a long time before she remembered that when the students of Midtown High School visited the Stark Group a few months ago, Harry smiled and said that they would wait for her to get off work, and then they would go to the famous Stark Group together. French restaurant for dinner.

Although the dinner eventually fell through when Loki and the Chitauri attacked.

This restaurant was severely damaged in the attack on Manhattan a few months ago, and it was forced to close the store for repairs. Naturally, the repair speed of the restaurant is not as fast as that of the Stark Building, which has experienced many bullets. Therefore, in After the Stark Building encountered the second attack by Rocky and the level bomb/bomb incident planned by the Green Goblin, the restaurant was finally repaired and reopened.

Rosie had never been to this restaurant before, and she was unfamiliar with everything. She followed Mr. Mathers into the restaurant, and glanced at the customers who were eating with their backs straight out of the corner of her eye. In the complicated and sweet Rococo style, the warm lighting illuminates the gold-plated leaf-shaped patterns on the tables, chairs and walls, with a kind of luxury and grace of the French court nobles in the [-]th century, and the faint new paint in the nose The smell will take people out of this sense of confusion again, and when you turn your head, you can see the cars speeding past outside the window full of vetiver and iris.

The Mathers family took a seat by the window, and Rosie was next to Kailani. Before she sat down, Kailani had carefully arranged the cushions and quickly set the knife and fork for her.

Rosie thanked Kailani in a low voice. While waiting for Mr. Mathers to order, she rested her chin on her hand and glanced out of the window with her eyes out of focus, first staring at the passing vehicles, then at the To the news building opposite, and the professional women hurrying on the sidewalk.

The overcast sky began to drizzle, and many passers-by held up umbrellas of various colors, so her fun turned into observing the colors on those umbrellas.

While watching, she gently tapped the table with her right finger until a pleasant wind chime sounded next to her ears. She glanced at the place where the sound came from, but her fingers that were tapping on the table suddenly stopped. live.

A tall man was pushing open the door of the restaurant and striding forward. He was wearing a dark brown windbreaker, probably because he did not bring an umbrella with him, and his hair and shoulders were covered with rain. Fortunately, he was not soaked, but it was dazzling At first glance, I thought it was a somewhat downcast passerby.The waiter in the restaurant hurried forward to help him take off the windbreaker and put it in his arms. After taking off the slightly embarrassed windbreaker, the dark gray suit he was wearing inside the windbreaker was also exposed, which set off the His broad shoulders and long legs are extraordinary.

He straightened the collar of his suit with an impatient expression on his face. He squinted his eyes and scanned the restaurant for a week before following the waiter in another direction.

Rosie frowned and looked at his back with a solemn expression.

Mr. Mathers and Mrs. Mathers were studying the menu, and didn't notice Rosie's abnormality at this time, but Kailani was a little puzzled, and looked in the direction of her line of sight, only to see a tall figure disappearing around the corner , she blinked, looked at Rosie again, and said, "Rosie, who are you looking at?"

Rosie came back to her senses, looked at Kailani, was stunned, then shook her head again and again: "No, no..."

"If it wasn't for that person's height, I would have thought you were looking at your boss." Kailani laughed.

Rosie smiled: "Our boss will be sad when he hears this." She clapped her hands, stood up from her seat, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom."

The restroom of this French restaurant is at the end of the corridor of the private room. Compared with the sweet and exaggerated Rococo style of the hall, the style of the restroom is much simpler, which made Rosie feel a little relieved. When she came out of the restroom, she walked slowly It was played very lightly and slowly, and finally a familiar voice was heard outside the door of one of the boxes.

"Are you asking me to come here from Gotham just to treat me to a French meal?"

Rosie's footsteps paused, and she stopped in front of the box door, almost holding her breath, and looked sideways at the white door carved with shell-shaped patterns.

The moment she heard this voice, she was certain that the man she...saw in the hall before was Thomas Elliott, a rich man from Gotham City.

She is not familiar with Thomas, not even the Elliott family, which is one of the four major families in Gotham City. Her knowledge of Thomas Elliott comes from Mrs. Mathers and Bruce Smith. Wayne, the Elliott family invested in the fashion group that Mrs. Mathers worked for, and Thomas himself knew Bruce since childhood, but they didn't match each other. Not long ago, his parents died in a car accident. As a surgeon, he inherited a huge fortune from his parents.

And the most important point, the necklace that once belonged to Natalia was submitted by him at the charity auction as a lot, and was finally bought by Bruce and presented to Rosie.

It was also this that made Rosie firmly remember his back and his voice.

She has an intuitive vigilance against Gotham people who suddenly appear in New York, such as Jason who appeared in the bookstore opposite the Stark Building on the day of the level bomb/bomb incident, and today, the French restaurant in Midtown Manhattan Thomas Elliott.

She didn't believe that this Gotham tycoon appeared in New York just to have a French meal.

There was a long silence in the box again, but Rosie could hear a few small sounds of glass colliding, presumably the people in the box were pouring wine for Thomas.

While she was listening attentively, a voice that belonged to a teenager but was not as clear as a teenager came: "Of course not, Mr. Elliott, the food in this restaurant is delicious, but it is not the reason for you and me to get together. The voice paused, and then smiled again, "I heard that you discovered the Night Witch during the planning of the attack on the rich man in Gotham City."

Rosie was also very familiar with this voice. Almost at the moment when the boy spoke, her eyes widened and her breathing became disordered.

Thomas, who was sitting in the box, smiled and called out the name for her: "The news is really well-informed, Mr. Osborne."
