Chapter 149 Family Banquet(1/2)
Perhaps because of the New Year, the city of Dawn, which was originally a bit chaotic, suddenly became much quieter.
I don’t know if it was suppressed or the tranquility before the storm.
Duke had some headaches.
He actually didn't really want to go back to the Elvis family, but he had agreed before, so it's natural that he couldn't go back on his word.
"Do I need to prepare something? Like gifts or something?"
Duke asked Alyssa with some headache.
"It's not necessary in theory. The Elvis family does not have this tradition, but reasonably, it's better to prepare some gifts, not too expensive. Just get it."
Alisa thought about it and replied.
"Yeah." Duke nodded, then said, "Why don't you go to the warehouse to help me pick up some small gifts?"
"Okay young master."
Alyssa went to work hard. Duke thought of the Elvis family and suddenly thought of Casey again. He hadn't seen Casey for more than a month or two, and he didn't know what Casey was doing recently.
Duke has been very wary of this woman since she learned about her true life experience.
Casey definitely knew that she was not a real Elvis family, but she did not explain that she obviously had her own purpose.
Duke didn't know what the specific purpose was, but he knew that there must be nothing good.
Thinking about returning to the Elvis family, if I could meet Casey, I might find a way to investigate...
The New Year is the most important festival in Dawn City and the only festival.
The city of Dawn, which has been more depressing recently, now seems a little happier.
There are more pedestrians on the street and more stalls. After all, this is a rare seven-day holiday.
Duke and Alisa were shopping.
He hasn't been wandering around like this for a long time, and he has a rare time to take out today.
Perhaps women are naturally good at shopping. Duke originally asked Alisa to accompany him, but gradually it turned out that he accompanied Alisa.
Alisa is interested in many things, but she didn't buy them much.
For her, the fun of shopping is shopping.
Duke never regarded her as a servant, but as a friend, so Duke could only follow her with a helpless look on his face.
At noon, the two of them didn't go back and just made up for lunch at the roadside stall.
"Young Master, thank you!"
Alyssa looked at Duke with a sincere look on her face, and at the same time she spoke with a little embarrassed.
Duke knew that Alisa was talking about shopping, so he immediately smiled and patted Alisa's hand, saying that it was just a street shopping, and it was no big deal.
As for Alyssa's invitation to him and whether to go to another street to stroll tomorrow, Duke decisively refused.
When Alisa saw Duke's refusal so decisively, she immediately laughed a little.
She was already content and it was impossible for Duke to really accompany her again. She just did it on purpose.
After lunch, the two of them walked around for a while in the afternoon, and then got in the car and went home.
After the two drove away, a cold gaze flashed at the corner of the street.
Three days later.
Duke was wearing a formal outfit from the Elvis family. After confirming that there was no problem in front of the mirror, he got on the car with the Elvis family logo with the Elvis family logo with it.
Today is the day to go back to the Elvis family.
As his personal maid, Alisa can naturally take her home.
As for Qin, she returned to her family a few days ago.
More than two hours later, the car steadily entered the Elvis family manor.
There are several times more cars in the parking lot than usual. Fortunately, the Elvis family's parking lot is bigger, otherwise they might not be able to stop today.
After getting off the car, Duke was about to ask Alisa how to go, but he forgot about the road. At this time, he saw a figure walking over, as if he had been waiting for him for a long time.
"Master?"
The person who came was Nickel, the butler of the Elvis family.
"Master Duke, you are back, please come with me."
Since there is someone leading the way, Duke is not polite.
I met many people along the way, and I felt that most of them came back from outside, but Duke didn't know anyone, so he didn't care. He just chatted with Nickel.
But he didn't care, others cared very much.
Who is this person? When you get home, you have to accompany the butler in person? Such a great deal of face?
Everyone was surprised, but they were very convinced that they had never seen Duke's face before, and they were talking about it for a while.
The reason why they were surprised was not because of how high the butler was, but because the butler was basically busy in the family regardless of big or small matters these days.
The butler is a busy man, almost as busy as he doesn't touch the ground.
But even so, the butler was waiting here for the young man. It is conceivable that the man's status is unusual.
However, they all know the direct members of the family, and they don’t think they have this person…
Duke didn't know everyone's curiosity, and he had known a lot of things during his chat with the butler along the way.
For example, it is a New Year party, in addition to simply gathering together, it also has a sense of assessment.
If someone performs well within this year, he will be awarded by the family.
But if you perform poorly, you may be taken away by your family.
Of course, Duke is not on this list.
Because he bought his own property, not provided by his family.
The family did provide him with Building 4 of Ping An Street before, but the owner of this building was Duke, not the Elvis family.
So no matter how Duke is doing, his property will not be taken back by his family, and of course, he will not receive any awards.
Duke naturally doesn't care about these things.
He would not look down on anything like commendations unless he gave them hundreds of millions of dollars.
Follower Nickel came to his room and looked at the layout that was still no one changed, Duke felt a little moved.
After Nickel brought Duke over, he said that Duke could go out for a walk, meet some people, and wait for dinner to begin.
Then Nickel left quickly. He had many tasks today. If the head of the family had not given him a special order, he would not have taken time to greet Duke.
Duke was too lazy to run around and had nothing to do.
After talking to Alisa for a while, he lay on the bed and asked Alisa to squeeze his shoulders.
After pinching his shoulders, Alisa went to the kitchen again and brought Duke some fruit and snacks.
Duke was lying on the lounge chair, basking in the not-so-warm sun, and eating the small pieces of fruit fed by Alisa was extremely comfortable.
afternoon.
When the last ray of sunset disappeared into view, the Elvis family dinner officially began.
Duke tidied up his clothes, and then brought him to a restaurant in the castle by Alisa.
Pushing open the restaurant door, Duke subconsciously narrowed his eyes - he was shaken by these magnificent decorations.
Duke really didn't know that the Elvis family had such a place before.
This restaurant is mainly decorated with gold and silver, and is accompanied by some shiny gems, precious carpets, crystal chandeliers, etc., which is a luxurious atmosphere.
Although from Duke's perspective, the decoration is a bit rustic and comparable to his own beauty club, it has to be said that the visual impact is very strong.
Alisa whispered that most of the golden decorations are gold plated, and a small part is gold, and gems are all real.
Duke felt that this was not rustic at all.
Although his own beauty club is decorated in this style, the materials are all fake, not as rich as the Elvis family.
The two are incomparable.
However, Duke was not envious. With his current profit-making speed, it would probably not take long to enjoy it.
Duke's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. Everyone just glanced at him and thought he was very handsome. The lady next to him was also very beautiful, so they stopped paying attention.
After all, being handsome is not a good meal. If you have time to look at others' faces, it is better to know more business partners.
Elvis has been developing for so many years and has many people in the family.
If it weren't for such a large gathering, everyone might not be able to meet once every few years, so they still cherish this kind of gathering.
"Come on, let's sit here."
Duke pointed to a corner and said to Alyssa beside him.
