Hawke pondered for a final moment and gave up on the idea of going to Skye.One word.If Skye had been in New York and hadn't come to him and Lorna, with Skye's character, even if Hawke found Skye, the latter wouldn't have followed Hawke back.However, Hawke still couldn't figure out why Skye didn't leave Chicago with them at the time.If it is said that before Hawke and Lorna went to Chicago, the two of them depended on each other, then in the two years in Chicago, the three of them hugged together to keep warm.Never mind.Hawke thought for a moment, but didn't think about it anymore.Skye, like him, has always been very independent, and if Skye wants to show up, he will naturally appear.Christmas is different from the previous Christmas.To put it simply......
The mood is different.This year, relying on the three-digit two-dimensional attribute, as well as the attribute value that is infinitely close to the three-digit speed, Hawke made a change and set foot on the road.At the same time, the Dane family also became wealthy.The wealth scavenged from the Mandate of Heaven, which has been powerful for hundreds of years, not only freed the Dane family from the busy and precarious days, but also deepened Hawke and Lorna's sense of belonging to this world.On the last day of the year, Hawke looked at Lorna, who was suddenly indignant when he was watching a news, with some curiosity.On the news is the news of what appears to be a terrorist attack on the medical examiner's office of the Ninth Precinct on the island of Manhattan.When Lorna saw the news, she was furious.Because, less than two hundred yards away from the Ninth Precinct, there was a shop that had been transferred from the Mandate of Heaven Organization to her name.In the news, it seems that the traces caused by the terrorist attack are almost lost, spreading to the shops across the road."
These damn gangsters, I really think we will grab them and blow them up in the head.""......"
Hawke looked at Lorna, who was angry, with a strange gaze, and shook his head."
Didn't you say these guys had better tear down Wall Street?""
That was before, these gangsters, just scum and moths, should not live in this world.""
Why?""
Nonsense, I wasn't from Manhattan before, but now, I'm a rich woman who owns several properties in Manhattan, and Manhattan is my home.""......" sure enough.The more money you have, the more you have the thinking of the protagonist.Hawke looked at Lorna, who was very upright when he said this, and secretly said in his heart.After a while.Hawke looked up, glanced at the clock on the wall, and got up: "Okay, you look slowly, I'm out." ”Lorna looked at Hawke, who got up, and also turned off the TV."
Wait for me, I'll go to the Star Mansion to see the progress of the repair.""
Okay."
Originally, Lorna was thinking of moving into the Star Building before the end of the year, but the repair of the bathroom on the second floor delayed this time.After all, the federal housing maintenance company doesn't work on days off, doesn't work on holidays, and doesn't work even when you're in a bad mood.Hawke had originally proposed to go to Chinatown and find a repair company from the East.Lorna didn't agree.Hawke wanted to ask why, but this kind of little thing was always taken care of by Lorna, just like Lorna never asked about him, so Hawk didn't ask.Soon.Hawker's Audi A8 and Lona's yellow Chevrolet left the neighborhood in light snow and drove toward Manhattan Island.At the first traffic light after crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, Hawke separated from Lorna, who turned right toward Fifth Avenue and Hawke went straight toward Osborne Industries.Not much.Under the respectful gaze of the security guard, Hawk once again drove the Audi A8 into the underground garage of Osborne Industries, and then took the elevator to his office on the 98th floor.Yes.After all, Hawker is also the third largest shareholder of Osborne Industries, and it is very reasonable to have an office with an area of about 200 square meters.This office, arranged by Felicia, is the same as the chairman's office on the top floor, except that the area is about half less, and the layout is basically the same.There is also a large floor-to-ceiling window, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, you can overlook the whole of Manhattan Island.Yesterday Felicia called and asked if he wanted to give Hawke a secretary, if Hawke had not refused, when Hawke pushed the door open, the blonde secretary should have smiled and said hello.When Hawke arrived in his office, he glanced at the neatly folded blankets on the couch and smiled.Today is the first time he has come to this office, but, before that, these days, Gwen has often come over, such as during the lunch break, Gwen will come here, lie on the sofa, and Xiao Mi for a while.Hawke sat on the couch, looked around, grabbed Gwen's folded blanket, put it to the tip of his nose and sniffed.Well.The taste of Gwen is coming.That's when it happened."
Dongdong!""
Enter."
Hawke put down the blanket, looked at Felicia who pushed the door in from the outside, got up, hugged Felicia who came in, and then said curiously, "Are you monitoring my office, Felicia?"
”Felicia smiled and said: "You are a shareholder of our company, and the shareholder has come to the company, as the assistant to the chairman, I must come over to say hello as soon as possible." ”Hawke smiled.Felicia then said: "How about it, this is your first time coming to your office, how do you feel, what else is missing, what do you need, I will ask the procurement office to buy it back as soon as possible." ”Hawke looked at the office with everything, his eyes fell on the big bar lounge, smiled, and looked at Felicia: "I'm satisfied, thank you." ”Anyway, he's the third largest shareholder in the first district, and he won't be here anyway, if it weren't for Gwen's internship here, thinking that Gwen would have a place to rest, otherwise, Hawk said he wouldn't even need an office.Felicia nodded, then looked at Hawke and said, "By the way, Hawke, the board is at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, no problem." ”Tomorrow is not just a new day, it is also the first day of the new year.Most importantly.A new year, a new day, is also the day when Norman Osborne convenes a meeting of the Board of Directors, and at tomorrow's meeting, it will be announced that Felicia will replace him in exercising the rights of chairman.Hawke looked at Felicia: "Of course, no problem, I will definitely attend on time." ”Felicia smiled, her main purpose here was to reconfirm the matter with Hawke, and then, after a few small talks with Hawke, she got up and took her leave.Although the appointment was announced only tomorrow, since that dinner, Felicia has already begun to change his identity under the authority of Norman Osborne.M..So ......
These days, Felicia is busy, very busy.After Felicia left, Hawke walked to his bar lounge and admired the bottles that Felicia had carefully selected from Norman Osborne's cellar to fill the Hawke's wine cabinet.Just as Hawke grabbed a bottle of whiskey from an auction house outside and was wondering if he should open it and take a sip, Gwen came to the office after a morning of internship.Gwen put her bag on the sofa, walked into the lounge, looked at this scene, and said with a smile: "Although I have no objection to you drinking, I still hope that you will not become an alcoholic." ”Hawke turned around, looked at Gwen who was sitting on a high stool, holding his chin, and looking at him with a smile on his face, laughed, and put the whiskey in his hand back into the wine cabinet: "You can rest assured that I only stay on the liking of wine, and I can't talk about dependence, and I won't be addicted." ”Gwen nodded, she still believed in this sentence, at least, when he was in school, Hawke never drank: "Do you go to the company restaurant for dinner at noon?"
”Hawke smiled."
Nope.""
Where are you going?""
Upper East Side.""
So far?""
There was a new one that opened yesterday, and it's said to be a very authentic Texas steak.""......"
Gwen got up from the barstool and looked at Hawke, "I take back what I said before, you are not dependent on alcohol, but you are dependent on Texas steak." ”Hawke smiled and said, "Steak addiction is better than alcohol." ”Besides.People will only be disgusted with an alcoholic alcoholic, and they will never have any dislike for a steak-addicted foodie.After all......
Only love and good food can not be disappointed.Half an hour later.Hawk and Gwen arrive at the newly opened Texas Steakhouse."
That's all, hurry up, thank you.""
Yes, sir."
The waiter took the menu from Hawke's hand and turned to walk in the direction of the back kitchen.Hawke spread out the cloth in front of him and looked at Gwen, who was sitting opposite: "By the way, is George already in office?"
”Gwen snorted: "Dad went to work the day after Christmas, and Mom has been in a good mood lately, and she sends Dad out every day." ”Hawke smiled: "Because George got a promotion and a raise?"
”Gwen shook her head: "Wrong, because Dad has no reason to work overtime, Mom is discussing with George these days, wondering if she should have a little five." ”When Hawke heard this, he was a little stunned and looked at Gwen."
I remember, little George, you'll only be two years old tomorrow, right?""
That's right."
Gwen shrugged: "Mom said that she still wants a daughter, just right, I also want a little sister, the three little ones are too naughty." ”Hawke nodded
