Chapter 223 - Natural Partners
Luke could only say, “Don’t wear this coat to work.”
Selina said, “Do you think I’m an idiot who’ll go to work in a coat worth more than ten grand? I’m not a celebrity.”
Luke thought for a moment and realized that it made sense.
Selina suddenly changed the subject. “You didn’t take any pictures this time? Elena’s pictures last time were very beautiful.”
Luke chuckled. “No. Vegas has nothing special, and I’m a terrible photographer.”
Selina remembered how beautiful Elena’s pictures were, seeing how the latter was an art student, and what an eyesore Luke’s own photos were.
What she didn’t know was that Luke had taken a lot of photos when he went around Las Vegas with the two girls, but the SD cards were in his inventory, so it was impossible for him to show them to Selina.
The plane soon landed in Los Angeles. They went home in Luke’s police car, which he had left in airport parking.
Selina took off her new coat the moment she got home and carefully hung up the precious treasure in her closet.
All her clothes and shoes combined didn’t cost as much as this coat; of course she had to be careful.
Luke threw his suitcase into his room and called Elsa. “Boss, just letting you know that I’m back.”
Elsa said, “Well, you certainly enjoyed every second of your holiday, didn’t you?”
Luke chuckled.
With more than three million in legal cash and after enjoying himself with two flexible and passionate dancers, he certainly wasn’t in a hurry to go back to work.
After complaining for a bit, Elsa immediately got down to business. “It’s good to have you back. Get here early tomorrow. I have two cases for you.”

Luke didn’t ask about the details, because he was afraid that Elsa wouldn’t be able to stop talking if he did.
“Alright, boss. I’ll get to your office half an hour earlier tomorrow. Try to get some sleep, or you may get eyebags. Good night.” Luke quickly hung up.
Elsa almost choked. She couldn’t help but look at herself in the mirror that was on her table, only to immediately place it face down. “No, I have to get enough rest, or he’ll definitely mock me tomorrow.”
She had been busy at work because she had just been promoted – she had to prove herself worthy of her new position.
Soon, Luke took a shower and said good night to Selina. Both of them went to sleep.
In a certain suite in Caesars Palace Hotel, Trinity woke up.
She felt very comfortable. The white sheet and quilt felt so nice on her naked skin that she didn’t want to move at all.
Eyes still half-closed, she dozed for a while, and suddenly smiled as she recalled the way mischief flashed in the eyes of a certain someone.
When they first met, she thought that he was a good guy who was solemn in nature.
But after two days, she discovered that there was a playfulness hidden under his gentle appearance, which made him even more likeable.
Remembering the past two days, she chuckled now and then absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, she sensed someone draw close to hug her.
Trinity opened her eyes helplessly. “Lanchi, didn’t you say that you wouldn’t learn from Luke?”
Next to her, Lanchi had woken up as well, and she smiled at Trinity.
Hearing what Trinity said, Lanchi quickly tickled her, mischief in her eyes.
Trinity burst out laughing and struggled, but to no avail.
She was so exhausted, as if she had run a marathon. She really had no strength left.
Lanchi, on the other hand, still had a bit of energy, and naturally, could play however much she wanted.
It wasn’t until thirty seconds later that Lanchi finally released Trinity, who was almost crying with laughter. She asked, “Why are your lips sweet?”
Trinity was angry. “Because of the ice cream and chocolate you bought, of course. I’m definitely going to gain weight.”
Lanchi chuckled and asked, “You don’t like them?”
Lost for words for a moment, Trinity admitted, “Fine, they don’t taste bad at all.”
Lanchi patted her head and comforted her. “When we go back, you can train harder to get rid of the calories.”
Trinity nodded. “Fine. you’re always so smart. Huh. Wait, what’s this?” In the dim light, something glimmered in Lanchi’s left ear. Baffled, Trinity reached out to touch it.
Trinity was blank. “Since when did you put in an earring?”
As dancers, they barely wore any accessories because it was inconvenient for them.
While hanging out with Luke, they had never returned to base either, and didn’t have anything on them except their phones and purses.
Grinning, Lanchi got off her and turned on the lamp, which illuminated the bed.
Lanchi lay down on the bed again. “It’s not just me. Aren’t you wearing an earring, too?”
Trinity subconsciously touched her right ear and felt something cool.
Lanchi pushed her hand away with a smile. “I’ll help take yours off, and you take off mine.”
A moment later, they were each holding an earring, baffled.
This… had to be a farewell gift from a certain someone, right? But why had they each been given one earring instead of a pair?
Also, they realized that the two earrings belonged to the same pair.
What was that about? Both girls mumbled to themselves.
In the end, Lanchi rolled her eyes as she got it. Chuckling, she said to Trinity, “Don’t you see? He’s obviously implying that we’re a pair.”
Trinity was confused. “Huh? Really?”
Lanchi said, “Of course. Otherwise, he could’ve given each of us a pair, right? Huh. Let me look around. That guy likes tricks the best.” Then, after searching for a while, she returned with her purse.
Sitting on the bed, she unzipped her purse and poured out everything.
There was a mirror, lipstick, a makeup kit, an eyebrow pencil, eyebrow tweezers, mascara, a keychain, and some cards, coins and bills.
