[Leilu Modern AU] Scarlet World

The golden baby bear......

Louis couldn't help it just after thinking about it for a while. He glanced at Lester and couldn't help laughing. He burst into laughter, and pretended to hold back in order not to embarrass Lester too much.It actually embarrasses Leicester even more.

"I've never admitted this name." Lester said angrily.

"Wait...Louis," Claudia said, as if suddenly remembering something, "if he brought you here, did he already tell you what he does?"

"Is Claudia one of the five?" Louis asked Lester back.

"I don't want to admit it, but unfortunately, yes." Lester's head rested on the armrest of the sofa, like a bullied girl.

"Well, yes, he told me."

Claudia said in that guiding tone, "That means he's a—?"

"... killer."

"Yes! Killer. He actually told you." Claudia stroked his chin in disbelief. "How long have you known each other?"

"More than a month, less than two months." Louis answered honestly.

"It's hot!" Claudia commented.

At this time, she saw Louis lowered his eyes shyly and raised them again, and Lester, the key is Lester, seemed to be relieved.

So, she keenly grasped the crux of the problem: "But when did he tell you?"

"Louie, don't—"

This was the third time Lester Drianko tried to stop someone today, perhaps because both sides were able to restrain him today, and like the previous two times, he was not successful this time.

"More than a month ago."

"What do you mean? You have only known each other for more than a month, but more than a month has passed since he told you?"

"All right, all right!" Lester's words sounded a bit broken, "Tell her, Louis, tell her, I'm not afraid of anything anymore, I'm not afraid of anything."

"It's all right, Lester," Louis said reassuringly, "you and Claudia are best friends, aren't you?"

"Come on! Louis, tell me." Claudia was eager to try.

"Almost a week."

"A week... a week?!" Claudia raised her voice in shock. "How old are you, Lester? Fifteen?"

"Can't you shut up, Claudia?" Lester accused angrily.

"I'm gonna tell the whole world that Lester Drianko's talking to the old man like a kid! Guess how long it took? Yeah, yeah, they're all going to lose!"

Realizing that Louie was looking at her strangely, she added, "Sorry, Louie, I didn't mean it to you... My point is, I'm not saying you don't deserve his bottom line! Honey, you're so beautiful, so beautiful. Lovely, I mean it! Your hair is as beautiful as black silk...but this guy has never, you know, acted like this. Can you imagine? A week!"

"Yes." Louis responded, turning his head to look at the embarrassed Lester.

Lester had already covered his face.He wanted to howl.He was in pain.He was executed in public.He wants to smash the computer.If only time could be turned back...

By the way, what is his purpose in looking for Claudia?

"Speaking of which, are you going to check it or not?"

"I'm going to charge you."

"How many?"

"Double."

"make a deal."

"Wait..." Claudia interrupted the deal, "If this is what Louis needs, he asks, and I'm free."

"Louis doesn't open his mouth, just take your reward obediently."

"How do you know Louis won't speak?"

"What are you talking about?" Louis asked, who didn't know if he would speak.

"He asked me to check someone."

"Claudia..."

"Oh, so is there anything else you can't tell Louis now? My dear Lester One Week Baby Bear Drianko?"

"All right, all right, all right!" It sounded reasonable, and Baby Bear compromised.

"He asked me to check... well," Louis saw Claudia take out his mobile phone, glanced at it, and looked up again, "Father Charlie Comron, the priest of St. Bernard's Church in York City."

"Why didn't you tell me, Lestat?" Louis asked him, who let out a helpless groan.

"Actually, Claudia," said Louie, "that's exactly what I need. Lester is helping me."

"Say it earlier!" Claudia waved his hand, "It's a trivial matter."

"Thank you, Claudia."

"Never mind, Louie. But, have you been taking jobs lately, Lester?"

"Is there any big work?"

"No. Little work."

"Why don't you look for Iron Fist or Watermelon?"

"Iron Fist? Watermelon?" Louis interrupted the conversation between the two of them curiously, "I'm sorry to interrupt, I'm just a little curious."

"It's okay honey, what do you want to know?" Claudia asked.

"Is it because the fist is so powerful? Is it good at punching?"

"Yes."

"Watermelon is because..." Louis continued to play with associations, "He thinks people's heads are like watermelons?"

"No, hahahaha," Claudia laughed, "That's just because he likes to eat watermelon."

"So why don't you find Iron Fist, who is good at punching fists, or someone who likes to eat watermelons?" Lester asked back.

"Honey," Claudia said helplessly, "you've been very uninformed recently."

"What do you mean?"

"Iron Fist was knocked down in an underground boxing match by a gypsy boxer named Mickey—the Mickey of Disney's Mickey Mouse."

"What about the watermelon?"

"The watermelon was shot in the head, like a broken real watermelon."

"Ah—is that Iron Fist still okay?" Louie asked.

"He was in ICU, he was in a vegetable state," Claudia said. "The group of gypsies disappeared the next day without a trace. They lived in an RV."

Lester was speechless.

"My business seems to be holding you up," said Louie, "or you could—"

"No." Lester took Louis' hand, "That's my job."

"I have a toothache. Really, Lester, how old are you?" Claudia said, "Forget it, I'll think about it, and I will do it myself."

"Okay," Lester said.

"But... Seriously, Louis, do you consider giving up Drianco?" Suddenly, Claudia approached the camera and asked tentatively, "Come with me?"

"No, thank you, goodbye!" Lester finished speaking in one breath, and closed the computer with a "snap".

……

"She's cute." Louis thought for a while and commented.

"She's a freak."

"She's like your sister or..."

"Sister? No!" Lester felt his scalp tingle when he thought of his close siblings with Claudia. "Actually, how old do you think she is?"

"35 years old?"

"...She's been like that since the first time I met her," Lester said. "I was 16 when I first met her."

"..."

"Is she your... military advisor?" Louis tried to change the subject, "Or something called a strategic advisor?"

"More than that. There's so much she can do."

"for example?"

"She's an intelligence agent, a hacker, a part-time killer, she can do anything, call her what you will."

"Does she have a code name?"

"Of course, everyone in our line of business has them."

"That is?"

"Queen of decapitation."

Louis pursed his lips and made a "wow, this is cool, cool, and looks like a killer" expression.

"Her side job...if she has one," he thought again, "is it an interior designer?"

"This," Lester looked around at the ceiling of "Baby Bear House", "is her hobby at best."

"Then what is her side job?"

"She opened a store, a store called 'Cute Pink Bear'."

"Children's toys?"

"No," Lester said, "sex toys."

"...Let's discuss this." Louis pointed to the recording on the computer.

"Yeah...why not?"

"Ding!" Lester's cell phone rang again.

It's Claudia.certainly.

[Give me Louie's cell phone number. 】

"No." Lester refused without thinking. At this moment, he suddenly remembered that Louis had not exchanged mobile phone numbers with him.

why?Because their relationship is very special.On weekdays, they either live their own lives or meet directly.And in all the meetings, either Lester went to Louis' house, or Louis went directly to "Scarlet" to find the front desk.Later, they didn't even need to meet face to face, and there was a silent tacit understanding. Louis came to the door with his luggage without saying hello, and Lester, as if he had expected it, prepared everything and waited for his new tenant.Now that Louis is staying at Lester's house, he has been inseparable for the past two days, and there is no need for a phone.In short, they really haven't experienced the ambiguous period of ordinary people, where you come and I send messages and chat on the phone.

[You don't still have Louis' phone number, do you? 】Claudia's ridicule was sent at the right time, with an emoji of "laughing and crying".

[Don't look through my address book, this is personal privacy. 】

[I don't need to make that effort at all.See, you admit it yourself. 】

【you……】

[Who are you two?primitive? 】

Lester was immersed in bickering with Claudia, ignoring Louis, but Louis observed Lester with great interest, not missing the various wonderful expressions on the other side's face.

In fact, he really likes to see Lester clattering and typing, like a teenager with cell phone addiction.This not only often makes Louis think that if his younger brother is alive, he might be addicted to mobile phones like this, chatting with the person he likes, or playing games day and night; it also makes Louis think that such a lively adult Lester will be far from the childhood he imagined. Miserable children are further afield.

"Louie," the blond teen said, looking up suddenly, "where's your phone?"

Louie pulled his phone out of his trouser pocket.

"We haven't exchanged phone numbers yet, remember?" Lester took over, "No whatsapp, nor follow each other's facebook, twitter, ins..."

"I don't have a social network."

"Do you have whatsapp?"

"Have."

"Then let's at least exchange this, and the phone number."

"it is good."

"..." Lester asked Louis to unlock it, and then fiddled with it, "Okay! Here you are."

Louis opened his communication software. In fact, there were only a few people in it, such as the driver Mr. Vaux, the housekeeper Ms. Payne, the personal doctor Parnathan, and some directors and executives of the company.Now there is an extra Leicester.

Lester's headshot is an old photo of a young Lester holding a guitar against what looks like a college party in the background.

Lester leaned over: "That was when I was in college. I was in college for two years, remember? I was in a rock band."

And Louis' profile picture is a landscape picture, a tree on the grass, it grows very tall in Pudula Manor.It was planted by Louis and Vanna when they were children.

[I want Louis' contact information. 】

A message popped up on Leicester's phone again.He and Claudia engaged in smartphone battles again.

Louis looked at Lester in the photo.He had never seen such a young Leicester, much younger than now, with a little baby fat on his face, and less obvious bone outline.

The battle over there was fierce for a time, but in the end Leicester was defeated: "Louis, Claudia wants your contact information."

"Ok."

It didn't take long for Louis's list to add another sexy girl who blocked her head.

[Hi [Blow Kiss] [Blow Kiss] handsome guy [Heart Eye] [Heart Eye] [Tongue out]]

Louie smiled back.

TBC.
