V4C167 – We Will Continue At Nigh (1/2)
I smiled and didn’t say anything, just took out my phone and dialed marks phone number.
“Mr. Liu, are you looking for me?” Mark’s frank voice passed through the receiver.
“Yes, are you resting?” I inquired.
“Not yet, I have been waiting to be at your service at any time!” Mark smiled.
“That’s great, I need your help. Since you drive a skiff, your personal connections on the surface of the water should be quite wide?” I asked.
“That is to be expected. Especially after this afternoon, with the support of Owens, the news spread and now many of my colleagues know that I will be the next president of the Taxi Service Union! Now everyone respects me a lot more!” Mark said happily.
“Good, so can you borrow a gondola from somewhere?” I told him my purpose.
“So that’s what you need. Of course, there is no issue, it’s an easy matter. Many of my friends here drive that kind of boat. Where are you, Mr. Liu, I will come to you as soon as I have found it!” Mark nodded.
“I am under the Bridge of Sighs, you can park nearby and then call!” I said to him.
“No problem!” Mark quickly said.
As I hung up the phone, Yang Mei looked at me with a puzzled look, “Who were you calling? Do you mean that we will be able to really realize this wish?”
I nodded and said with a smile, “Yup, that’s right! I just called the driver who I hired, he will be here soon!”
The white girl looked at us enviously and said to Yang Mei, “Wow, you unexpectedly have a personal driver! You will certainly be happy!”
“How about you go on the boat with us in a while!” Yang Mei suddenly said.
“That won’t be quite good……” Although the Caucasian girl rejected on the surface, the anticipation was written all over her face. But since she was worried about my take on the matter, she didn’t comply with Yang Mei.
Although I couldn’t understand why Yang Mei would be so warm-hearted to them, but looking at the anticipation Yang Mei had as she looked at me, I nodded and said with a smile, “There’s definitely no issue. It seems that my girlfriend hit it off with you quite well, and having friends together is also a good thing!”
“Thank you!” The Caucasian young man was also very friendly and thanked us.
While waiting for Mark, we found out through our conversation that the Caucasian couple wasn’t Venetian, the man was called Philip and the girl was called Sallica. Both of them were from Milan, moreover, the purpose of them coming here was what shocked us.
They weren’t here in Venice to travel, instead, they had eloped! In the European and American social conventions and the fact that they had an environment of love was free for everyone, there were unexpectedly people who eloped! This made Yang Mei and me very surprised!
“What’s wrong, is it that strange?” Sallica smiled bitterly and shook her head, “Actually, the reason he and I eloped is me…”
