That night, the Hollis.

As Miss Lacey of the Carites family is going to visit tonight, the Hollis family has made all kinds of preparations. They should have come to the door to apologize, but miss Lacey sent a letter saying that it was unnecessary. She came to visit in person this evening.

The door of the courtyard was open, and the clean and soft carpet had already been laid. I heard that Lorraine Hill liked to be quiet, so the Hollis family did not invite other guests, only their servants and guards lined up in the courtyard.

Lacquered night flower's carriage door opened, and Lorraine Hill rarely wore a black dress. The pure black skirt and white skin formed a sharp contrast. The black lace skirt and cuffs also added a strange charm to her. When she stepped down from the carriage, even her shoes were small black shoes, and on the shoes were pure white silk stockings.

"Miss Tracey of the Caritas chamber of commerce is here ~"

As the attendants at the door called, some melodious music was heard on both sides of the courtyard. About 20 violinists stood on both sides of the carpet and pulled up the strings. The slow sound of the violin sounded like butterflies flying among the leaves.

Lolan Hill's blue eyes swept gently. These hands were gorgeous and skillful. They didn't look like local people. They should have been temporarily invited by the Hollis family. They really meant it.

With a little sigh in his heart, the door of the house opened, revealing the brightly lit hall. The owner of the house, HOS, and his eldest daughter, Meru, stood at the door to greet him.

"Welcome to miss Lacey. We've been waiting for a long time."

The balding housekeeper HOS leads Lorraine hill into the hall. First he leads her to sit down, then claps her hands. The girls in dancing skirts come in through the side door. They wear red skirts in one row, blue skirts in the other, and long skirts in their arms. Every step they take, they turn their skirts once. The silver patches on their skirts shine in the light, and then a burst of music starts, This time, not only the 20 violinists outside the courtyard sat down to play, but also a pianist and a dozen musicians in the hall.

With the rhythm of the music, these dancers sometimes stand on tiptoe, sometimes turn their skirts, and form a huge concentric circle on the dance floor of the hall. Then, with the changes of the music, they form a huge flower, in which the blue and red petals sometimes bloom and sometimes close. Finally, with the curtain call of the music, the outermost dancer lies on her knees, and the middle one leans, The inner circle is holding arms high like stamens,

Lorraine hill is sitting on the sofa on the steps. In front of him is a tea table with some fruit and iced juice.

It's really an excellent dance. I admire it a little, but that's all. For her, who has seen all kinds of light and shadow effects in the era of science and technology and hundreds of people's large-scale singing and dancing parties, it's really no surprise. But it's better to give the Hollis a face, she gave a little praise.

Hollis, the head of the Hollis family, seems to be very happy. He thinks that the performance he paid for has been effective, but Lorraine hill just didn't show it out of reserve.

Meru shakes her head when she sees her father's look. When she first meets Miss Lacey, she only thinks that her appearance is unparalleled in the world. Later, Lacey decides to set up a new joint project with other chambers of Commerce to wake her up. The subsequent assassination makes her afraid of this beautiful lady.

I really don't know how miss Lacey grew up. I've never heard of her reputation, but she is very skillful in business. As can be seen from the recent series of performances of caritus, there is even a tendency to surpass Angus' reign. Not only does she not rise and fall, but she has a tendency to take off.

But business is a matter of great experience. I've never heard of a school that can achieve great success. It depends more on talent and insight. This is also what makes Meru puzzled. Besides, Lacey is absolutely good at it. She feels that there is at least 4? She guessed.

Thinking about how to face Miss Lacey in her heart, Meru saw her father's silly self feeling, and her head began to ache.

Hos is indeed a good father and a good parent. However, as a housekeeper, he is not smart enough. In the past, the housekeeper could often mention something when he was in office. Later, after his grandfather died, his eldest daughter, Meru, acted as a think tank in the family.

But the daughter is the daughter after all, what she can do is limited, and the power in the chamber of commerce is gradually dispersed by several other uncles, showing the trend of never losing.

"Niece Lacey, your father and I were very good friends in those years. We often drank together. This time, we were also uncles. I didn't manage the guards well. I hope you don't mind."

My father wanted to expose it so easily. Mei Lu opened her eyes slightly. It's unbelievable. It's an assassination. The other side almost died. Once they can't make it right, the two families will start a new war.

"Although you have made friends with us callitus, it is a matter of the last generation. I don't know very well. What's more, the guards of the Hollis family nearly killed me when they swore in the street, which led to the disintegration of the whole chamber of Commerce. Do you think such an apology is enough

Sure enough, Lacey refused such an easy settlement, because it was like insulting.

"This... Niece Lacey, no, Miss Lacey, you want to..." HOS couldn't figure it out. Just now, it was still a smiling and cheerful atmosphere. How could it be like this all of a sudden.

"Father, you are tired too. Let me do it“ Mei Lu stood up and saluted slightly. Then she went to her father's side and gently persuaded her.

Hos is a little self-conscious. Knowing that his daughter is smart, he just let go, saying that he is sleepy. Next, let Meru talk to Lacey.

As HOS left, there were only two young ladies, Lacey and Meru, left in the big hall. Outside the hall, it began to rain. There was continuous rain dripping from the eaves, hitting the marble steps. The fine rain curtain covered the outside scenery, which seemed a little fuzzy. Occasionally, the sea breeze blows, the rain tilts, and some float into the hall, bringing a little coolness.

Meru fiddles with the charcoal fire in the furnace, and then refills Lacey's cup with hot tea. Then she sits down and starts talking again.

"I'm very sorry, Miss Lacey. What happened that day was that our family neglected management and let the guard be bribed by outsiders."

"I know." Lacey holds the teacup and her hair falls on the pure black dress, affirming unexpectedly.

"So, what I want to ask is, what's the position of the Helios family? Is it the same as in the past, standing with us callitus, or do we want to be neutral and independent. Or, you have decided to stand on the opposite side of us. "

The blue and transparent pupil of Lacey's eyes looked directly at Meilu, no longer giving her room to dodge.
