Volume 2 Amber Chapter 137 Visit
When Chen Lun left the basement with two bottles of ginger beer and returned to the first floor of the villa, he found Connie walking towards him.
"Ah, Mr. Jack, I was just going to go down and look for you."
Connie said.
"Steward Walsh of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce just came to inform us that Mr. Noah and Ms. Rosa will come to visit together later."
"Okay, I understand."
Chen Lun thought for a moment, handed the extraordinary wine in his hand to Connie, and instructed:
"Let this bottle cool down and serve it to our guests later."
"This...is brewed so quickly!"
Connie was surprised.
Chen Lun gave a mysterious smile.
"It's a secret."
"Yes, Mr. Jack."
Connie left with a look of admiration on her face and the wine in her hand.
She thought of Mr. Jack's extraordinary powers, and then she felt relieved.
"It seems like there's nothing Mr. Jack can't do."
Chen Lun came to the kitchen.
He saw Floyd busy at the desk.
She sensed the familiar footsteps, and without turning her head, she continued to chop onions and whispered:
"I just heard from Connie that we have guests coming, so we are preparing a decent dinner... This is my first time entertaining guests, I hope I won't embarrass you."
Chen Lun shook his head and chuckled :
"You are too modest, Floy. Your craftsmanship is better than anyone else's. Besides, you don't have to do this kind of thing yourself every time..."
Floy raised the corner of her mouth slightly and skillfully poured the chopped onions into the pot.
"I just like that cooking makes my heart peaceful, and..."
She turned her head with a faint smile on her face.
“You like to eat.”
Chen Lun looked at her quietly.
Floyd picked up the hem of her skirt playfully and curtseyed to him.
He immediately turned around, picked up the spoon, and silently began to stir the rich soup in the pot.
Looking at Floy's profile, the smile on her lips had not yet disappeared. Chen Lun felt that she had changed a little, and was brighter and more lively than before.
"Thank you for your hard work, Floy."

In the evening.
A carriage from the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce stopped in front of Jack's manor.
Steward Walsh, wearing a round hat, came down and lifted the curtain of the carriage. Noah's huge body moved out carefully, and the wheels creaked.
After he got out of the car, he let out a long sigh, then remembered something. He quickly turned around, stretched out his hand, and led out a beautiful silver-haired lady.
Noah's face was full of shyness and his cheeks were red.
He had just recently accepted the fact that his brother had become a sister, and he was still somewhat uncomfortable.
"Noah, you have to be polite when you visit Mr. Jack this time. Your bow tie is crooked."
Rosa rolled her eyes at her brother, took out a handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his face, and straightened the red bow tie on his chest.
“Thank…thank you.”
Noah scratched his head, feeling very embarrassed.
"Let's go."
Rosa took her brother's arm and they walked through the gate of Jack's Manor together.
At this time.
She suddenly looked up and glanced at the goldfinch resting on the bronze statue on the wall at the entrance. The goldfinch seemed to notice her gaze and flapped its wings and flew away.
"What's wrong, sis?"
Noah asked.
"Nothing, let's go quick, Mr. Jack might be waiting for us at the door."
Rosa chuckled.
Noah smiled shyly, hummed and nodded.
Steward Walsh parked the carriage and hurried over. Looking at the backs of the siblings, he felt a little emotional.
He had been looking forward to this scene of love and affection for a long time.
Since Young Master Rex was persecuted by the Red Apple Church six years ago, Young Master Noah's personality has changed. Originally not interested in the family business, he chose to travel far away.
Fortunately, Master Rex did not die, and finally completed his promotion and became the new top manager of the Silver Dragon Chamber of Commerce. However, due to the gender transformation, many outsiders did not know the truth of this matter.
The eldest master, who changed her name to Rosa, now the eldest daughter, specifically instructed not to tell Noah about this.
This secret lasted for six years.
To Walsh's delight, they finally recognized each other.
The size difference between the two siblings was huge. Rosa only reached Noah's waist, and they looked like Beauty and the Beast. They were dressed very formally today. If you didn't know, you would think they were going to a party.
When we walked deep into the manor, we saw a gentleman in a black suit and top hat standing at the door from afar.
He was holding a silver cane and smiling.
There was a woman standing on each side. The taller one was wearing a black dress, with long blond hair like a waterfall and a strange layer of "black satin" covering her eyes. The shorter one was wearing a suspender dress, with chestnut hair tied into a braid.
"Noah, Miss Rosa, welcome."
Chen Lun stepped forward and greeted the two men.
"I apologize for not informing you of my visit a day in advance, Mr. Jack."
Rosa said.
Chen Lun shrugged and joked:
"Compared to those insignificant etiquettes, I care more about whether you two can enjoy yourself today. Please come in."
He stretched out his hand to invite her, and Rosa smiled charmingly, took her brother's arm, and walked into the villa gate together.
The villa at Jack Manor is not as good as Pompeii Manor, or even the homes of some other nobles and wealthy businessmen, but Rosa and Noah don't care about that.
They had been to more luxurious and extravagant manors and attended banquets hosted by prominent people, but none of them could compare to this place.
Because this is Mr. Jackspeight's residence.
"Please take a seat."
Chen Lun raised his hand to signal, and then sat down in the main seat.
After Noah and Rosa sat down, Chen Lun whispered to Connie, asking her to go upstairs and call Maggie and Golov down to eat together.
After a while, the two went downstairs.
"Let me introduce you two. These are the new members of my team, Ms. Maggie and Mr. Golov."
"Hello."
Maggie shrugged and raised her hand to greet Rosa and Noah.
"It's our first meeting. May the sun shine on you forever."
Golov took off his hat and saluted.
Rosa and Noah responded politely.
After Maggie and Golov sat down, Rosa raised the corner of her mouth slightly and looked at the black-haired young man sitting on the main seat.
"Mr. Jack's team? I'm a little curious."
She spoke.
Rosa could tell at a glance that Maggie and Golov were extraordinary people, and she had a vague guess in her mind.
Noah, who was sitting next to her, also gave her an inquiring look.
Chen Lun just smiled.
"We might as well eat and talk at the same time."
"That's a good idea. Noah and I deliberately didn't have afternoon tea. We're a little hungry."
Rosa said and Noah's stomach growled in cooperation.
His face suddenly turned red.
Chen Lun smiled and raised his hand to signal.
Connie opened the metal lids on the table one by one, and a rich aroma emanated, filling the restaurant.
"This is the dinner that Floyd cooked herself."
Chen Lun said.
Floy sat with a smile on her face, dignified, and nodded slightly to everyone's gaze.
"It's amazing! Miss Floy's cooking skills are better than the chef at the Garden Hotel..."
Noah put a meatball in his mouth and his eyes suddenly widened.
"No, no, no, I think it tastes better!"
After sighing, Noah quickened his hand speed.
In his heart, he was even more convinced that his mother's will was extremely wise, and joining Mr. Jack's team would be a good and right thing to do.
He truly loves me.
Seeing Noah's happy expression while eating, everyone couldn't help but feel excited, so they picked up their knives and forks and started eating.
Immediately, they all showed the same expression as Noah.
Amidst a slight exclamation, Chen Lun secretly gave Floy a thumbs up, and the latter smiled at him and thanked him.
"Everyone, please try the delicious wine brewed by Mr. Jack himself."
Connie was very kind enough to bring two bottles of ice-cold ginger beer and pour a glass for each guest.
"Oh? Mr. Jack has this hobby?"
Rosa took a bite of the beef tenderloin, nodded secretly, then wiped her mouth with a napkin and asked curiously.
"I've suddenly become interested in it recently, Miss Rosa, you might as well try it first."
Chen Lun smiled.
“I’m looking forward to it.”
Rosa took the glass of wine from Connie and took a sip.
It's a very authentic ginger beer, but she rarely drinks it. It can be said that people in the upper class rarely drink this kind of light beer, but more red wine, gin or punch on special holidays.
But the next moment, she was slightly startled, and suddenly raised her eyes to look at the young man sitting in the main seat.
The latter still kept smiling and looked at her quietly.
"Is this... an extraordinary wine?"
Rosa's voice sounded slightly suspicious.
The others were startled, and Noah also stopped using his fork.
