Just as Anne expected, the big Sherlock Holmes's eyes were full of vigilance and suspicion before he left.

If he didn't come today, Anne would be surprised.

Annie glanced out through the window, but there were not many people except McCoff.This is not like the necessary ostentation for a leader of the country's largest intelligence organization to travel.

Annie raised her eyebrows: "Please come in."

With that said, she opened the door.Smiling and looking at Mycroft outside the door, he turned slightly to make room, and motioned for the big Holmes to come in.

McCoff stood where he was, looking critically at Anne's residence.

On a perfect face, if there is no pair of disdainful eyes, it would be even better.It must be able to please Annie for a while.

Annie didn't rush, but just looked up and down the person in front of her with a smile on her face.

Nice coat, slender legs.Equipped with a deep black walking stick, it was pointless on the ground.

It would be better if she didn't look fat.

Anne thought to herself, Holmes has talked about his brother as if he were on the way to lose weight?

Annie raised her eyebrows and looked at herself, the gossip in her eyes was undisguised.There are people who are not afraid of Mycroft, but not many.

It was the first time for McCoff to see someone who was not afraid of him at all, and even made fun of him unabashedly.

The Annie in front of her is very interesting, but Xiali will choose her as a temporary assistant.

McCoff touched the ground of Annie's house with his cane, and looked up at Annie: "Solid wood floor? I thought you would choose a lighter one, so that it would be easier to do what you want to do?"

doing what……

The corners of Annie's lips were raised slightly, with a careless look, she went back to the room by herself.The door remained open, and Mycroft was no longer invited in.Of course, she wasn't standing there stupidly like that at the door.

McCoff looked at the back of Annie who turned around without saying a word, and was a little surprised.

He tapped his cane twice at the pedestrians on the street, then walked in and closed the door.

On the side of the street, several people who were chatting, as well as the child selling cigarettes next to him, all looked at each other after he acted, and changed their positions to stand.

Guaranteed, the surroundings of this house are under their surveillance.

No way, the boss wants to go in and talk, so they can only spend a little more time.

Annie had just made tea and sat down when she saw McCaughey walking in.She raised her eyebrows, looked at the cup of tea she had just poured out of the teapot, and drank it with a smile in her eyes.

Watching Annie drink the tea that should be used for entertaining guests, Mycroft was a little speechless.

"I thought you'd be waiting for me at Sherlock's place?" Annie laughed.

Seeing that Anne really didn't have any intention of entertaining guests, Mycroft could only do it himself, poured a cup of tea and held it in his hand.Leng is made a calm look to come.

"You know, I won't," he said.

Annie looked at him amusedly: "Are you afraid that Sherlock will get angry?"

Mycroft didn't answer, but just took out two envelopes, one thicker and the other thinner.

Visually, Annie guessed that there were only about ten sheets of paper in the thin one.The thick one is hard to tell.

Mycroft pushed the thin envelope towards Anne, and said with a smile, "I'm afraid that Sherlock will see it, so it's not easy to do this."

His slender fingers tapped on the envelope: "If you do what I say, these will all be yours."

Annie pursed her lips, and became serious in a cooperative manner: "What do you want me to do?"

Mycroft came closer and lowered his voice: "Help me, look at Sherlock."

Annie was a little interested. She looked up at McCoff and put down the teacup in her hand: "Looking at him?"

"No matter what he did, where he went, or where he will go. You tell me, these..." Mycroft pointed to the thin envelope, "It's all yours."

"And these."

The heavy envelope was pushed over, and Mycroft added with a smile: "After it's over, it's yours too."

This can be said to be the easiest money Annie has ever earned. She took the envelope in McCoff's hand, opened it without saying a word, and took a look.

Not a lot, even for that thin envelope.

Annie pursed her lips, pretending to be a petty citizen, ready to bargain: "You know, I'm not short of money."

"Yes." Mycroft nodded, as he had already expected it.

He took out another envelope, and very slowly drew the envelope in a beautiful circle in the air, making a full gesture.

That was Portouille's VIP ticket.

It means that in the coming year, Annie can use the resources behind Portolier at any time to enrich herself, or what Annie wants to promote.For a solo exhibition like last time, with VIP tickets, there is no need for Darren's complicated negotiations at all.

It can be said that with this, Annie's development speed in the next year will be unimaginable.

Annie looked at the envelope with a little interest in her eyes.

"I thought you had a good relationship with Sherlock?" Anne asked.

McCoff put down the tea in his hand, stood up, and turned his back to Annie.

After a long time, he turned around and sighed: "I think you should already understand his temper."

Seeing Annie nod, Mycroft continued: "I am self-righteous, I don't know what things can't be done at all. I also don't know when to do things at all."

Seeing the tormented look on McCoff's face opened Annie's eyes.

She secretly suppressed a smile, but put on a cooperative look on her face, and nodded with great approval: "Yes, this is indeed painful. Even, what he said yesterday almost caused me a lot of trouble .”

Mycroft's eyes flashed, and he looked over.

"My position does not allow me to have such a weakness beyond control, otherwise..." Mycroft made an extremely embarrassed look.

Annie nodded deeply: "Otherwise, you will be pulled down by those who care."

Mycroft's eyes showed agreement: "So, you should understand that I want to control these uncontrollable places more."

He looked at Annie's side, his eyes were empty, as if he was in a trance: "At least, I can stop them before they start."

He spoke so clearly that Annie was almost convinced.

Of course, it's just about.

In fact, Annie, who knew the truth, was about to burst into laughter inside, but she couldn't show it on her face, not to mention how hard it was.

"So, you took it?" Mycroft asked.

Annie pouted, thinking carefully for a long time.Only then did he pick up the two envelopes, and pointed to the thick one.

"How do you judge, it's over? I can't do it for a long time, and you keep hanging on me with this?"

This was the first time for Mycroft to be directly suspected.Annie's eyes couldn't have been more direct, pointing to his forehead and calling him a miser.

"Why don't you just give me this together?" Annie smiled happily, like a cat hungry for fish.

Mycroft: Charlie, who do you know?

The tormented Mycroft couldn't be more disappointed, he continued to deal with Anne with the last little patience.

"That's a lot, you should know. Greed won't get you more, Anne."

Annie raised her eyebrows, she didn't want to tease Mr. Holmes anymore.It was so funny, she couldn't help but laugh.

Of course, the more important reason is that it has been a while.It would be very unpleasant if she were late for the appointment with Holmes.

God knows what Mr. Holmes will say.

"Forget it, this is a very troublesome job." Annie threw the two envelopes with a violent and uncooperative appearance.

Mycroft didn't realize it a little bit. He didn't know why he was still talking about the price just now, but now the talk collapsed.Don't say, Annie is just playing hard to get, a small means of negotiating.

Of course, he could see that Annie's whole body was completely unwilling to accept this commission.

Even, it's just her pursed lips and lowered eyes from time to time.McCoff even suspected that Anne was still thinking about him leaving as soon as possible.

Faced with the sudden expulsion of Mycroft, he was somewhat unacceptable to the situation of rapid conversion.

At this time, Anne added another fire.

"Sherlock can be considered a sensible person. If you have a good talk with him, maybe he will restrain his temper occasionally because he sees you as miserable?" Annie said with a smile.

She stuffed three envelopes into Mycroft's hands, and said righteously: "It's really not possible, you give these to him. I think, after all, you are his brother, even if he dislikes these little things, he won't say so."

Being half pushed and half let out the door, Mycroft still didn't recover from the three envelopes in his hand.

He looked at the subordinates who glanced at him from time to time on the street, and only felt that this visit was really unexpected.

"It was tricked..." Mycroft thought to himself.

At this time, how could he not see that Annie was not prepared to seriously negotiate with him from the beginning, and the appearance of those petty citizens was completely made to deceive him.

Speaking of which, maybe the blush on her face was not excited.It's a suffocated laugh, suffocated...

Mycroft looked at the sky, unable to calm down for a while.

However, I have to admit that although Xia Li is a bit stupid, he has made good friends.

Whether it is Watson or Anne.

"Mr. Holmes?" A subordinate came over with a questioning look in his eyes, "Should we continue to monitor Annie?"

Mycroft waved his hand: "No, let's all withdraw."

"With Darren?" the subordinate asked.

Mycroft hesitated for a while, then nodded.

"Withdraw them all, I trust her."
