Chapter 26 (2/2)
Just like now, the conversation between them is quite pleasant, but when it comes to some problems, both sides are insistent. As soon as it was about twelve o'clock, Karenin simply changed the subject and took the opportunity to invite them to have lunch together. The massaches readily agreed.
Karenin had already explained to his secretary that he would book a restaurant in advance. He did not ask what the restaurant would look like. After all, if such matters were to be considered by him, what else would he need a secretary to do.
Although vorobev's character is not very good and some people are mercenary, he is indeed a smart man. After receiving Karenin's instructions, he finished the matter immediately. The result was as good as he expected. Therefore, Karenin was very satisfied.
Compared with stupid and honest people, Karenin preferred intelligent people in officialdom. Although this kind of people are also more cunning and less loyal. But as long as you don't want to fantastically tame a fox and make it loyal like a wolf dog. Give the fox enough bait. In the short term, it will always be at your disposal.
When they got to the dining room and took their seats, Karenin saw that Madame massachi whispered a few words to her husband, and then Mr. massachi said to Karenin with a private smile.
”Dear Mr. Karenin, my wife is very curious where you bought this scarf.”
Karenin took a look at his scarf. The scarf, which was dark blue and had his initials embroidered with silver silk thread, was the one Anna had given him.
Karenin told the other party, ”in fact, it's not bought from anywhere. This scarf was made by my wife
Both of them were somewhat surprised, especially the Mrs. massage.
Men may not pay much attention to these, but Mrs. massache, after all, is a member of the upper class circle in Germany. What they usually contact most is clothes and other things. She likes this unique thing best, so she can see that the craft of this scarf is first-class.
Whether it is the color matching, or those fine and complex and low-key lines, the design of the whole scarf can be said to be very beautiful.”I see that the silver thread seems to be more than just a pattern.” Mrs. massache pointed it out.
”If you're curious about this, my wife says it's my initials.”
Once again, Mrs. massachy was amazed.
”The originality of Dorje ”I've never seen anyone embroider their initials on scarves before,” she said. I know a lot of scarves on silk handkerchief? I've never seen such an ingenious idea, let alone her slightly designed fonts. ”
”I really want to feel it, if you don't mind.” Said Madame massache.
Karenin felt a little embarrassed, but fortunately Mr. masaqi stopped his wife's action.
He deliberately said to his wife in a somewhat discontented tone, ”what do you say? Do you think I will allow you to touch other men's scarves?”
Madame massache blushed a little, and she apologized to Karenin.
”Look at me, I just can't take my eyes off these delicate things. Please forgive my rudeness Her eyes brightened up because she saw what she was interested in. Now, her face became more vivid and her facial features became more beautiful.
The bright eyes reminded Karenin of a man, so he almost unconsciously said the following words.
”You don't have to apologize. It's nothing, ma'am.” Karenin said that in order to ease the conversation.
The round faced German diplomat suddenly raised an eyebrow and said, ”my wife has such a hobby. Sometimes, if she meets something she likes, she completely forgets my husband. So I always have to remind her
Madame massache stares at her husband with a blush, but the latter looks at him innocently.
”Don't you forget that when we took bond for a walk in London street last month, you lost bond and me because you were obsessed with clothes from Gypsy girls?” The round faced man looked discontented.
”You know I don't know where I'm going. Bond had a cold and a stuffy nose that day. Her sense of smell was like Mrs. Riley. She couldn't tell white pepper powder from black pepper powder, otherwise we wouldn't eat so much dark food. To tell you the truth, I even suspect that Mrs. Riley is responsible for our poor impression of food. And bond and I believed you so much that we didn't even bring my old housekeeper, who had been my guide until you married me
Mr. masacchi seemed to have been opened up to complain. He frowned and began to turn over the old scores like a well built woman in a slum in her forties.
”To tell you the truth, what's the use of studying them? You don't want to show them to me...”
”That's enough.” Mrs. massage could not help but stop her husband. She hissed, ”it's not at home.”
Mr. massage closed his mouth, looking aggrieved.
At first, this Mr. masaqi was a little surprised that he openly revealed his love for his wife, but his chatter later made him understand. After all, he had been engaged in political conversation for so many years, so he still turned the topic back to business.
Karenin's silence was yes. Mr. masaqi secretly praised him, but to be honest, what he said was sincere.
His wife is wonderful, OK!
Although she lost herself and bond, they could go back on their own!
…… It's just, it may take a while, but now he can find someone to take him to the police station in half an hour!
That afternoon, Karenin pondered over today's affairs in his office. He carefully pondered how to finalize the matter to his satisfaction.
He told vorobev about it, but the latter said, ”to tell you the truth, sir, I don't think that Mr. massachy is special. I saw him drink a lot of wine at the lunch party, and I also heard that this man likes to collect wine. I think we can give him some heart. ”
Karenin took a look at his secretary, because at this time, the evaluation of vorobev's cleverness dropped a lot. However, he did not directly criticize his subordinates, just calmly said: ”think again, maybe you have better suggestions.”
Vorobev left Karenin's office, but the expression on his face was not very good.
Looking at the door, he thought angrily, ”what's the difference between me and him? In terms of talent, I will not yield to him.”
”Of course, of course you are.” Vorobev's heart had a shrill voice catering to him, so at last he raised his hand with satisfaction and gently smoothed the hem of his uniform to make it more comfortable.
He left the door of Karenin's office with pride, and did not really pay attention to Karenin's words.Behind the door, Karenin only thought about vorobev for a moment when he left, and then his mind turned to Mr. massach.
For the time being, Karenin did not come up with a better idea. He looked at his pocket watch, and it was ten minutes later than the usual time to leave work. So he did not delay any more. He cleaned up and was ready to go home.
After Karenin came home, Anna noticed that the other party seemed to have something to say to her.
”What do you want to say to me?” Anna asked with a smile. She was surprised to see Karenin and satisfied.
”I like the feeling of being able to guess what you're thinking.” She said with a smile.
Karenin told his wife about the day, and he conveyed the praise of Mrs. massache for Anna's craftsmanship.
Anna blinked and asked, ”this diplomacy is very important, isn't it?”
”Yes.” Karenin said, and then want to change the topic, work, he can't say too much to his wife. But his wife burst out laughing.
”I have an idea.”
”What?” Karenin asked.
