Chapter 36 (1/2)
”Who are you?” Asked Mr. Gorman, warily, that he did not like to face the unknown. Most of the people who came to his shop were acquaintances, whose purpose was very clear.
But the gentleman in front of him was young, but he had the official manner, and he didn't have that kind of pompous atmosphere. The whole person exuded a kind of well-educated and intelligent breath.
Karenin naturally omitted this sentence, looked at Mr. Gorman with bright blue eyes and said, ”I think it's better to speak by one step.”
Mr. Gorman sipped his lips. ”Come with me then.”
Mr. Gorman told prokhov to keep an eye on the store and took him to the backyard himself.
Karenin looked at the tall man as he passed by, then moved away and followed Mr. Gorman to the backyard.
”I'm used to speaking in a more open place. Please don't mind.” Mr. Gorman said.
Karenin raised his eyebrows and said slowly, ”no, I don't mind.”
”Well, if you don't want to reveal who you are, at least tell me why you want me.”
”You must have guessed that, in order to avoid mistakes, I will tell you that I am indeed here for Pavel.”
Karenin was not surprised to see the young tailor looking at himself in his green eyes.
”If so, it will save me time.” Said Mr. Gorman, and with a respectful salute, ”I'm just an ordinary tailor. It's enough to have a man in this place.”
”I think you are mistaken.” Karenin said calmly.
This time he finally saw the look of surprise in the eyes of the other party, so he felt more confident.
”In fact, I'm not giving you a choice.”
The man's voice is deep and mellow, and the ending of his speech is slightly upturned, which makes him sound arrogant.
”You have to keep him and teach him like a good teacher.”
Mr. Gorman always thought that he could still let go in order to survive, but he underestimated his temper.
After hearing this arrogant nobleman's words, he chuckled and his green eyes converged.
”Are you going to press me with money or power?”
Karenin said lightly: ”anger is obviously irrational behavior. You know that I will succeed in the end, whether it's money or power. ”
Mr. Gorman didn't speak because he knew the man in front of him was right. Whether in his teens or twenties, he can't really suppress his nature.
Karenin took a step forward. The distance had already broken through the safe distance between people. His lips closed and moved, and he said a word, his voice a little low.
After seeing the other party's eyes change, Karenin stepped back. When the right heel touched the left heel gently, he said in a calm voice: ”leave him, you will find his precious.” After that, he turned to leave.
”I wonder how a respectable person like this would allow her to be so mischievous? It's not appropriate. ” Asked Mr. Gorman.
Karenin stopped. He did not intend to answer, but the last sentence touched his bottom line, so he turned again. A pair of blue eyes looking at each other.
”When gold is buried in the sand, a gust of wind is needed to make it visible. Otherwise, even if it's gold, it's just going to be buried deeper and deeper
”As for the rest, since you don't care, it's better to continue not to care.” He took a deep look at each other, and then withdrew his gaze.
Out of the tailor's shop, Karenin did not immediately get into the carriage. He didn't want anyone to know what happened here today.
On the other side, Anna learned from korni that Karenin would be late. She answered and sat at her desk and began to draw what she had seen this afternoon.
After she had done these things, she looked at the clock and found that Karenin was not back.
Anna is wearing a coat. She is going to the yard and wait.
Just about to go out, it began to drizzle. On a winter evening, it was dark and almost depressing.
”Where are you going, madam?” Asked the old housekeeper.
Anna laughed, took her umbrella and said, ”I won't go out, just wait in the yard.”
The old housekeeper, who had been serious, looked soft after hearing her words.
”It's not warm outside.”
Anna took a lantern: ”it's better.”
Corney didn't stop her anymore.
Anna stood in the yard for a moment, then walked on for ten meters. After a while, he went on for another ten meters. So move and move, until you get to the gate.
She leaned forward, and the porter seemed at a loss as to why she should go back to the house.”I'll stand for a moment, sir. I'll be back.” Anna said the little lantern made a little noise in the cold wind.
After a while, the clatter of the carriage sounded.
But unfortunately, it was not Karenin.
Anna bit her lip and was now a little worried.
Seeing this, the porter comforted him and said, ”nothing will happen, madam. Sir has come back late before.”
