Chapter 28 Blind Date
Just like that, under Alex's reluctant gaze, Luke turned around and left Quantico gracefully.
He did not visit Dougherty and went straight back to Los Angeles on his private plane.
Luke called his mother on the plane.
Today is Christmas Eve, and tomorrow is the official Christmas holiday.
There is a week-long holiday leading up to the New Year's Day holiday, which is a tradition.
Elsa was still at the cocktail party and had prepared Luke's suit in advance.
Elsa said on the phone:
"Luke, you need to attend this time. There are several dignitaries at the reception. They will be your connections in the future."
Luke knew that his mother was thinking of him, so he didn't refuse and changed into a suit on the plane.
I have to say, Luke looks really handsome in a suit.
His Western-style mixed-race face is handsome enough, coupled with his perfectly proportioned body.
The flight attendant on the plane was struggling all the way, constantly struggling, struggling whether to work or to have sex with Luke...
I had just made up my mind that even if I didn't want to work anymore, I wouldn't regret having a life with Luke, but the plane landed...
Luke didn't bring any luggage this time. He changed his clothes and came to the airport lobby in a refreshed manner.
Looking around, he saw a black man holding a sign that read Mr. Luke Dutton, Mr. John McClane.
So Luke smiled and walked forward and said:
"Hi, I'm Luke Dutton. Did Ms. Elsa arrange for you to pick me up?"
The black guy nodded immediately and said:
"Yes, in the Nakatomi Building. It was arranged by Mr. Aoki."
After a little thought, Luke knew who Mr. Aoki the black guy was talking about.
One of the two people Elsa introduced to me at the cocktail party before I went to Washington last time was an old Japanese man.
The black guy was obviously here to pick up two people, so Luke asked:
"When will the other guy arrive?"
The black guy shrugged and said:
"I only know the name. I'm from New York."
There was no choice, Luke could only wait for Mr. McClane with the black guy.
Mr. McLean didn't keep the two waiting for long. After about ten minutes, he staggered out of the passage with an oversized teddy bear in his hand.
Luke was stunned when he saw the black guy holding a sign and standing next to him in a high-end suit.
He came up to the two of them with a cigarette in his mouth and said:
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
After saying that, he pointed to the black guy's sign and said:
"John McClane."
Luke smiled and held out his hand to him and said:
"Luke Dutton."
"Are you also from Zhongfu Company?"
Luke shook his head and said:
"No, I was just forced to come to the reception."
Seeing McClane holding his luggage in one hand and his teddy bear in the other, with his coat draped over his arm, Luke said:
"Do you need help?"
McClane was stunned for a moment, then he handed the teddy bear to Luke and said with a smile:
"Thank you, this is for my daughter."
The three of them came outside and got into the stretched Lincoln sedan driven by the black guy.
Although it is very luxurious, it is only relative to that era. Luke still feels that his own Rolls-Royce is more comfortable.
The black guy is called Argyle. He has a natural talent for his race and he never stops talking along the way...
Luke looked at McClane carefully in the car and said:
"Looking at your complexion, are you experiencing a mid-life crisis?"
McClane looked at Luke in surprise and said with a smile:
"How did you get it?"
Luke shrugged and said:
"That's easy to guess."
"You are from New York and you are carrying a gun. You must be a New York police officer."
"You came to Los Angeles during Christmas, and someone was arranged to pick you up at the airport. Your wife must be an executive of a large company, and the boss gave your wife some benefits."
"If there wasn't a problem in your relationship, you wouldn't come here in such a, uh, unkempt manner."
After listening to Luke's analysis, McClane was really surprised this time. He asked curiously:
"What do you do?"
Luke smiled and said:
"I'm getting FBI training at Quantico."
McLean smiled and said:
"Hey, future great detective."
Luke also smiled and said to McLean:
"You're not just an ordinary policeman, you're from the detective bureau, right? You're the real great detective."
At this time, the black boy Argyle said:
"Wow, there are two great detectives sitting in my car. Are you here to work together to solve some big case?"
The two smiled and said:
"No, we're here for Christmas."
The topic then turned to family.
Luke and the black guy taught McClane a lot of skills on how to get along with women.
"Don't reason with a woman. Your style in the police station won't work..."
"Yes, yes, yes, you have to coax her, think of all kinds of ways, send flowers, send gifts, create a romantic atmosphere..."
Today is Christmas Eve and everyone has gone home to celebrate the holiday. There are very few cars on the road, so the three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the Zhongfu Group's building.
The black guy might continue to pick up McClane after the party, but Luke doesn't have to.
The guy drove to the parking lot and left his phone number for McClane and Luke.
When they arrived at the first floor lobby, the security guard asked them to follow the instructions on the display screen.
Luke frowned and took out his phone.
McClane, however, looked confused and kept poking at the screen.
By the time he figured it out, Elsa's secretary had come to the lobby to pick up Luke.
After saying hello to the security guard, the secretary took Luke and McClane upstairs.
In the elevator, Elsa's secretary kept flirting with Luke.
But Luke turned a blind eye.
Last time I slept with Elsa's secretary, Elsa chased me and beat me for a long time.
Finally, Elsa said to Luke sadly:
"I worked so hard to train my secretary, but after you slept with her, I couldn't look her in the eye anymore, Luke. Without a good secretary, my work would be more burdensome. Can you bear to see your brother and sister left without anyone to take care of them?"
Even though Luke knew that his mother was just playing the victim, he still fell for it.
Family love is what Luke cherishes most in this life, so he never dares to sleep with Elsa's secretary again.
When we arrived at the 30th floor, as soon as the elevator door opened, we heard a loud noise and music.
Luke had already seen Elsa in the crowd, so he patted McClane and said:
"Good luck, John."
McClane smiled and nodded at Luke, and the two separated.
Seeing her eldest son Luke coming in handsome outfit, Elsa went up to him and gave him a passionate kiss on the forehead.
Then he took Luke to introduce him to the people around him.
Yoshinobu Aoki of the Nakatomi Group was the host, and Luke had met him last time.
The other middle-aged man was a California congressman, and the mother and daughter were the governor’s wife and daughter.
Looking at the situation, Luke understood why Elsa insisted that he come over after getting off the plane.
This is the rhythm of a blind date.
But looking at the governor's daughter, although she was pretty, there was rebellion in her eyes, and Luke didn't like her at all.
