Michelle's Restaurant was famous in the upper class of New York. Their steaks were all flown in on the same day. Their cutlery, red wine, caviar, lobster, and other expensive food were all carefully selected.
Therefore, eating at Michelle's Restaurant could not only satisfy one's appetite, but it was also a symbol of one's status and wealth.
Because Michelle's Restaurant only served Xiao Zheng and Sophia that night, whatever Xiao Zheng wanted to eat would be prepared and served as soon as possible.
Sophia did not have a big appetite, but she was very particular about what she ate. Every dish that was served was on a huge plate, but there were very few dishes on the plate. According to Xiao Zheng's appetite, he would finish a spoonful of food in one go. However, Sophia could leisurely eat while waiting for the next dish to be served. She was as elegant as a member of the royal family, pleasing to the eye.
Xiao Zheng looked at the elegant Sophia as she ate. It was hard to imagine that she was the evil woman who killed the world-famous Jones and pushed him into the abyss time and time again. In that instant, Xiao Zheng felt that Sofia could definitely be called a beauty that could cause the downfall of a city and a nation. She was as pretty as a fairy.
Sophia noticed Xiao Zheng's gaze and slowly put down her knife and fork. With a subtle look, she asked, "What are you looking at?"
"I'm looking at you," Xiao Zheng answered honestly.
Sophia smiled when she heard that. She no longer had the slyness and mysteriousness from before. She smiled and asked, "Do I look good?"
"Yes." Xiao Zheng nodded.
Sophia smiled and pursed her lips. "If you don't eat, the food on your plate will get cold."
Xiao Zheng casually picked up a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth. He mumbled, "Previously at the Lin Family, you were like a tomboy when you ate. Why are you so ladylike now? "
She was able to act like a lady and a tomboy so skillfully without any pretentiousness. This was what Xiao Zheng was most curious about. Only a woman who had been a tomboy and a lady could switch between the two so fluently.
Hearing this, the corners of Sophia's lips curled into a smile of reminiscence. She said, "After I turned ten, my father would send me to the royal family to learn etiquette every winter and summer vacation. I won't be considered to have graduated until I'm eighteen. "
"Then aren't you very tired?" Xiao Zheng asked in surprise.
Xiao Zheng didn't have parents, nor had he ever been one, so it was hard for him to understand that there were parents in this world who raised their children like this. According to his way of thinking, as long as the child's values were right and he wasn't a treacherous person, he wouldn't interfere with the child's growth too much. Let nature take its course.
"Tired?" Sofia asked. "Why do you think so?"
"You are not a member of the royal family, but you have to learn the etiquette of the royal family. Don't you feel tired? "Xiao Zheng asked.
Sofia smiled and said, "Among all the women you have come into contact with, which one of them would be too crude and unfeminine in front of you? It doesn't matter if she's a rich girl or an ordinary girl. "
Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Indeed. Every woman will show a gentle side to a certain extent. "
"Men are the same," Sophia said with a smile. "Etiquette is something that every human strives for. No matter what position he was in, or what identity he had, no matter how high or low he was, etiquette was a beautiful thing. No one would take the initiative to refuse. Unless he wants to attract attention, or he has nothing to lose. "
"So you like it?" Xiao Zheng asked. "For you, learning the etiquette of the royal family is not tiring, but a kind of enjoyment?"
"If my father hadn't been killed by Jones three years ago. What you can see is me now. I'm not the person you're afraid of, "Sofia said word by word.
Xiao Zheng was slightly taken aback. He finally stopped using cruel words to evaluate Sofia. He slowly said, "The affairs of the world are unpredictable. Before a person dies, they will never follow the predetermined path."
"Are you consoling me?" Sofia asked.
Xiao Zheng was silent for a while before he nodded and said, "Yes."
"Three years ago, I might have gladly accepted your consolation," Sofia said with a smile. "But now, I deeply understand that comfort is just a meaningless and worthless perfunctory response to a certain extent. It's completely useless. "
Xiao Zheng smiled bitterly and said, "If I have to choose, I prefer your gentle side."
"Then will you protect me?" Sofia asked bluntly. "If I can live in an environment that is harmless. Who would be willing to fight and scheme against each other? "
Sofia was the same. It was the same for all the people who lived in this society. Including Xiao Zheng.
During the years he was overseas, he had to grasp all the habits of his targets, analyze their behavior, and understand their personalities. Only after completely grasping the target could the assassination be the most secure.
In Xin Ao, after entering the overseas department, he had to understand his own employees and analyze their psychology so that he could work and manage them more effectively.
These were all scheming and plotting against each other. They were all painstakingly living conditions.
To live a carefree life like in the security department? But most people in society would not accept such a life with no fighting spirit and no future, right?
Therefore, if one wanted to live a better life, he had to face greater challenges and stimulate his most sinister and sharp side to complete the transformation of life.
To Sofia, showing her sharp side was not only a way to live a better life, but also a way to save her life. Otherwise, she would follow in her father's footsteps and become another dead soul under Jones's fangs.
She liked and yearned for an elegant life, but reality was cruel and shattered her life, forcing her to walk the path of the strong one step at a time. It might be frightening, but it could make her live a better life.
"The steak is really delicious." Xiao Zheng gave it a high evaluation and took another sip of red wine. "The red wine is also mellow and fragrant. It's not like the red wine I drink in Hua Xia. Most of it is diluted with water or simply fake. "
"If you like it, when you return to China, I will ship it to you regularly." Sofia smiled.
"Isn't this a little too expensive?" Xiao Zheng smiled.
"I'm not short of money," Sofia said frankly.
Xiao Zheng smiled and lit a cigarette. "What's the situation with the Fox Hunters now?"
"The darkness before the dawn," Sofia said concisely.
"Will you still encourage them to kill me?" Xiao Zheng asked.
"They don't have the energy to pay attention to you anymore." Sofia smiled. "Next month at the latest, the new Sect Master will be born. They are making their last effort. "
"It sounds very hurtful," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "But it is indeed good news."
"So, is it worth a toast?" Sofia raised her glass.
"Of course." Xiao Zheng raised his wine glass and welcomed him with a smile.
The two drank in one gulp. Sofia had a sly look on her face and said meaningfully, "Congratulations on your successful detoxification."
