Chapter 281 An unexpected choice
After returning home, Annie thought for a long time and ignored her roommate.
I closed the door and tossed and turned in bed, thinking about how to get along with Luke in the future.
Do you really like working for the FBI?
No.
Because Luke shot the robber to death in front of her and saved her from danger.
She thought Luke was so cool at the time.
If she could become a brave detective like Luke, then she would be qualified to stand with Luke.
But now I think that the decision I made was a bit too naive.
Being apart from Luke was hard, so she focused on training, studying, and making herself less of a woman.
In fact, she doesn't have such a strong sense of justice.
Anne and Alex have different personalities.
Alex is more independent and opinionated.
But Anne is actually not as indifferent as she appears to be.
Her mind is more sensitive.
In the end she decided to follow Luke's advice and that the FBI was not a job she really liked.
After graduation, I formed a band with my friends. Although we didn’t make any money at that time, we were really happy.
So she called Luke early in the morning.
"Luke, I thought about it all night, and I feel that I am happiest when I make music with my friends."
"Okay, since you feel happy and don't have any pressure or burden, then go ahead and do it. I will support you behind the scenes."
"But Luke, since I took on this case, I must finish it from beginning to end. Can you let me finish this case?"
"Of course, my dear little bear, I will make sure everything goes well. Just be yourself. This competition is also a great opportunity for you to debut."
"Thank you, Luke, huh~"
"Do what you want to do, I'll take care of the rest."
After hanging up the phone, Tony asked him curiously.
"Your ex-girlfriend?"
Luke nodded.
Stark looked at him in surprise.
"You guys are still in touch? Is it that...what's that guy's name?"
Pepper quietly pulled Stark under the dining table.
Luke smiled and said to him:
"I put my heart and soul into every woman and every relationship I have, unlike someone who I would just pour out my sweat and bodily fluids into and not even remember her name the next morning."
"Hey, it's all old calendars, okay? Hiss... Siguoyi"
Pepper, who was originally holding Stark's clothes, has used the innate skills of a woman.
Pinch the soft flesh on a man's waist, and twist it in a rotating motion...
Luke smiled and nodded, pointing at Stark.
"You have to thank me for becoming what you are now and escaping from your previous vulgar life."
Stark stared at Luke with dead fish eyes.
"Okay, I thank you, and thank your whole family, thank your entire clan..."
Seeing Stark's shameless look, Luke shrugged.
"Well, I don't need your thanks. Just Pepper thanks me."
Pepper smiled and said to Stark:
"Yes, it would be more economical for us to cross-hold shares with him than to expect you to thank him."
Stark also spread his hands.
"It's up to you, dear."
Luke took the last sip of soy milk and wiped his mouth.
"Let's go and see what activities the organizing committee can come up with. When William and Hamdan arrive, I'll host a party."
"Be careful here, hiss... Siguoyi, Pepper, this is Luke's suggestion, we have to respect our partners..."
Arriving at the organizing committee, Chairman Kate was very happy to see Tony Stark and Pepper Potts.
Young Master Qin is really particular and indeed invited Stark.
And Pepper is here too.
In the media and fashion circles, Pepper is much more famous than Stark.
Arriving at the conference room, Chairman Kate gave Luke the schedule that had been revised overnight.
Luke simply took a quick look and gave it to Chairman Kate.
"Chairman, this is the millennium competition, so the activities can be richer and more diverse."
“Our first stop is Miami, and we want to showcase both the girls’ personalities and the characteristics of Miami.”
"So, this is not just a Miss America pageant, but also a journey that showcases the customs and culture of the United States."
"Only during the play can the girls' true personalities be revealed, what do you think?"
What else can Chairman Kate say? You are the financial sponsor, you are right...
However, today is the first official day of the selection process, so we still have to record some of the girls’ daily lives and the arrangements of the organizing committee.
Each girl will record a short video introducing herself. (This is not a VCR, that's a misnomer.)
If you have friends and family coming to New York, you can also join in.
Self-recorded short films are also acceptable, but must be reviewed by the organizing committee.
Near noon, a group of people came to the hotel, or rather, an old gentleman with a group of women.
The old gentleman looked arrogant when facing the staff who came to ask questions.
"I'm Victor Merlin, and I've been commissioned to serve as image consultant for Miss Anne Hart."
After Luke's persuasion, Anne changed her name back to her original name.
The staff of the competition were also confused.
Victor Merlin and the others naturally knew about it.
As staff members of the competition, they are naturally also people from the fashion circle.
Victor Merlin is a nationally renowned image design consultant.
The people he has served include presidents, first ladies, politicians, big stars...all well-known figures.
Anyone who wants to hire him as an image consultant cannot do so even if they have money, as it all depends on his mood.
But who is this Anne Hart?
After the final check, I found out that he is one of the contestants in this session.
This... is the background so strong...
Before the staff could find Annie, Luke came to the hotel lobby with a large group of people.
"Grandpa Victor~"
"Little Luke, you brought me all this way here, a hug is not enough."
"Haha, when the game is over, I'll go fishing with you to find Grandpa Samuel (General Samuel Troutman)."
"I won't go fishing with that old guy. His skills are too poor. He can't catch any fish but he actually uses grenades..."
Victor Merlyn is an old relationship of Luke's family.
He is one of Luke's grandmother's best friends, and the old gentleman is a homosexual.
He asked Luke after smiling and hugging him.
"Is your grandma okay?"
Luke smiled and nodded.
"I'm fine. Every day I'm either playing cards or on my way to play cards."
"I haven't played cards with her for a long time. The older she gets, the busier she gets."
"This shows how good you are. No young person can compare to your level."
The old man nodded proudly.
At this time, Annie ran down in a panic and found the staff.
With the introduction of the staff, the old gentleman met Anne.
I frowned at first sight.
Then he turned and looked at Luke.
Said nothing.
But Luke did the same, smiling and spreading his hands.
The old man smiled and pointed at Luke.
Then he walked up to Anne.
He walked around Annie and waved to his team.
"First wash her clean, then deal with the surface."
Turning to the staff, he said:
"Get a room, we need to work."
The staff looked at Chairman Kate and saw that Chairman Kate nodded in confusion.
He led the old gentleman and his team to the elevator.
