Chapter 216 Miss Audrey, You Actually Learned How to Bargain!
On the second floor, Hastur and Audrey stood at the railing, overlooking the cat and dog below.
Seeing that Susie was actually imitating her own graceful steps and deliberately showing off, Audrey couldn't hold back at all.
"You know, Susie, well, it always likes to imitate, because it is very smart, so sometimes it will imitate my walking."
"I really didn't teach it how to step its feet in sequence or the appropriate height to raise its feet."
Audrey's cheeks turned slightly red. Seeing her efforts to explain, it seemed more like she was confirming that she had taught Susie how to walk gracefully.
"Mr. Hastur, let's go inside and talk."
Audrey took a deep breath, pretending that nothing had happened, and calmly dealt with what had just happened.
In her heart, she regretted that she should not have taught Susie how to walk gracefully on a whim.
When she thought of how she carefully taught Susie to raise her legs and step, she felt like her cheeks were burning.
"Susie is really smart."
Hasta gave a comment and led the way. When he came to the door of the study, he said again: "Susie walks so elegantly. Miss Audrey must have worked hard to teach her, right?"
"..."
Audrey was stunned in place. After Hastur had entered the study for a while, she realized what she was doing. She tried her best to suppress her shyness. At least she looked calm on the surface and was not disturbed by those words at all.
"Mr. Hastur, your joke is not funny."
"Well, I just have reasonable doubt."
"You always do interesting things when you are young. Was Mr. Hastur always so calm and wise before?"
Audrey calmed down and answered the question openly so as not to be too embarrassed.
Speaking of which, teaching Susie to walk gracefully is also an honor for the master.
Seeing that Audrey had regained her composure, Hastur had no intention of continuing the topic, and instead said: "I recently got a new batch of Russell's diaries, but some of them haven't been thoroughly studied yet, so I can only sell a few of them first. "
"Can."
As long as the water flows, Audrey is not disgusted with this kind of transaction.
Hastur pulled out four Russell diaries from the drawer and handed them to Audrey. Seeing her look like she had found a treasure, he felt a little guilty.
These four diaries of Russell were all imitated by him at that time. There are not many specific contents, but there are a lot of stories about Russell's romantic affairs.
I hope Mr. Fool can hold on. Anyway, he doesn’t want to watch it a second time to avoid contaminating his eyes.
"Is it still the original price?"
Audrey's sudden "ha" made Hastur stunned for a while. Will the always heroic Miss Audrey also learn to bargain with herself?
Hasta was silent for a while, then tried his best to choose his words and said: "If Miss Audrey is in financial difficulty, the price of each diary is not non-negotiable."
“What if I’m in a very, very difficult financial situation right now?”
"...100 gold pounds for a copy of Russell's diary?"
When Audrey said this, Hastur directly gave her a half.
"Mr. Hastur is so generous. Okay, deal."
Audrey didn't give Hastur the slightest chance to go back on her word, and directly finalized the deal.
Although he still made 400 gold pounds, Hasta always felt that he had lost 400 gold pounds.
Judging from Audrey's cheerfulness in paying, she didn't feel financially strapped at all.
"I'm not deceiving Mr. Hastur. A few days ago, I invested in a new project according to Earl Hall's arrangement." Audrey explained softly.
Hasta frowned slightly and said: "With Earl Hall's wisdom, you shouldn't need to spend a penny of your own money, but directly apply for a mortgage loan from the bank, right?"
"..."
Audrey looked embarrassed and her eyes were a little wandering.
She did invest in new projects, and she did not spend a penny.
The reason why I just said that was to enjoy the fun of making money from Mr. Hastur, even though the money was originally hers.
Seeing Mr. Hastur staring at her, Audrey pretended to be calm and said: "Mr. Hastur, I have a literary salon to attend later. I will leave today. We will talk when we have time later."
"..."
What could Hastur say?
He could only send Audrey, who was obviously holding back her smile, out of the study and down the stairs.
In the lobby on the first floor, Azshara, who was asking Susie for advice on how to be more elegant, stiffened slightly, shook her black hair, ran to Hastur's feet, and put her little feet on his trousers.
Hastur bent down and hugged Azshara. Susie on the other side glanced at the indifferent Audrey with a resentful look, turned around silently, and walked towards the door step by step.
At this moment, its figure seemed full of vicissitudes of life, as if countless stories had happened to it.
Audrey's eyelids twitched slightly, she knew that Susie's addiction to drama was coming back.
But it's okay, as long as you don't pay attention to it, it will return to normal after a while.
"Susie, Emperor Russell once said: Life is a lonely journey that is not understood. Only by learning to enjoy loneliness can you go further."
Hastur's voice made Audrey's heart skip a beat, and sure enough, Susie made a sound that was almost a whimper, and then walked out of the door without looking back.
"..."
Audrey was stunned. She didn't know if this sentence came from the mouth of Emperor Roselle, but Susie, you are a dog, how come you are always easily touched by people's words?
"Susie is really smart. She easily understands what I say."
Hasta had a faint smile on his face, and he looked very appreciative of Susie.
"Mr. Hasta has also read "The Complete Collection of Quotations of Emperor Roselle", right?"
"No."
Hasta answered this question very honestly. He just said it casually and then attributed it to Roselle.
Audrey didn't say much and led the two personal maids away.
At the gate, Susie was lying on the ground, wagging her tail lazily.
Audrey wanted to laugh, but she held back her smile and pretended to be stern: "Susie, don't you want to enjoy the lonely journey alone?"
"Woof!"
Susie immediately got up from the ground, came to Audrey, and started to please her.
The general meaning is: Although the lonely journey is good, I have Audrey to accompany me.
"Hmph, let's go."
Audrey raised her chin slightly, with a smile on her lips. It was a happy afternoon.
After sending Audrey away, Hastur looked down at Azshara who was pretending to be dead, stretched out a finger to tease its little head, and said after waking it up:
"Didn't you just learn how to walk gracefully from Susie? Come, let me see how well you learn."
"Meow."
"Don't deny it, I've seen it on the second floor."
"Meow..."
Azshara whispered, and then jumped out of Hastur's arms when he was not paying attention and ran away.
...
At night, Hastur was about to go to bed, and came to the window and found a line of words on the paper crane sent by Will: Double ice cream.
"Is there something good to inform me?"
Hasta understood what Will meant by this sentence, took off the paper crane, put it in the palm of his hand, and then went to bed and fell asleep.
In his dream, Will appeared in a wheelchair, pushing the wheels forward by himself.
Hasta asked curiously, "Aren't you discharged from the hospital?"
"Can't I sit in a wheelchair after being discharged?"
"Of course, do you need my help?"
"No, I can support myself."
Hasta laughed, and walked over to push Will's wheelchair, saying, "If that's the case, then you should be able to make your own ice cream."
"There's free food to eat, why should I waste my time?"
Will rolled his eyes at Hasta, as if wondering how he could ask such a question.
After chatting for a while, Will told the purpose of tonight's visit.
That Earl Gil has been irritated by his unfilial descendants these days, and he will probably die in his bed tomorrow night.
Tomorrow night is an opportunity to seize the Corrupted Baron Extraordinary Characteristics of Earl Gil.
"Although this is a bit immoral, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Hasta is in a good mood, and his Briber Potion has almost been digested. He only needs to take away Earl Gil's Extraordinary Characteristics, then he can be promoted to Sequence 6.
"Hasn't morality been thrown away when you chose this extraordinary path?"
"Will, you are right, so I have decided that you can find a way to eat ice cream in the future."
"???"
"Because I have no morality, I will naturally not follow the principle of repaying favors."
Will's forehead flashed with black lines, and he changed the subject and said: "I have another thing to discuss with you tonight."
"Will, you actually used the word "discuss"?"
Hasta's expression became serious, but Will rarely spoke to him in such a tone.
"The thing is, I have been used to eating chocolate ice cream and strawberry ice cream recently. I want to change a few flavors. I heard that a rainbow ice cream is popular recently. Each color has a different flavor. I also want to taste it."
"... This is the main purpose of your finding me tonight, right?"
"You can't say that. This is a bonus."
Will smiled awkwardly, left a sentence to remember to send rainbow ice cream, and disappeared.
