Haley felt like they were two boxes for a birthday cake, but it wasn't their birthday today.
Luke and Selina nodded in unison. How could it be enough?
Gold Nugget even more disdainful of the woman. Hmph! Small breasts and little knowledge! This isn't even enough for me to eat for ten minutes.
After putting the dessert on the open kitchen counter, Luke and Selina greeted the people in the living room.
Elsa was actually the only one in the living room who was leisurely sipping red wine on the sofa.
She simply nodded at them. "You're here. Have a seat."
Selina sat down on the sofa next to her, and they started chatting.
Luke sat down on the other sofa, but his keen senses told him that something wasn't right with Elsa's expression.
Her gaze often shifted back and forth between him and a certain door, as if she was expecting something. There was even a hint of teasing on her face.
Generally speaking, this kind of expression meant that something unexpected had happened.
Luke didn't think too much of it.
Before entering the apartment building, he had completely turned off his Sharp Nose.
He didn't like to use Sharp Nose during his daily get-togethers.
That way, life would be very tedious and boring, like an ordinary person memorizing the faces of every passerby on the street.
As long as he was resting, he would try his best to act like a normal person and enjoy the joys of a normal person's life, including some small surprises.
They sat on the sofa for a few minutes and chatted casually with Elsa and Haley.
Everyone's topic soon shifted to the recent security situation in Manhattan.
Most of what Haley said was about the explosion and Black Mask.
Elsa was indeed talking about the attack on Kingpin's forces, as well as the impact of last night's body dump at the pier in Trienburg Park.
Neither of them talked about the specifics of the case, and only discussed the problems that these incidents had caused in Manhattan, which was quite consistent.
Luke and Selina looked at each other helplessly.
They were familiar with this.
But the people who knew the two cases were chatting animatedly, and they couldn't unravel the mystery. They could only watch as Elsa and Haley continued to criticize NYPD's incompetence.
That was right. The two ladies were actually on the same side criticizing NYPD, especially the frontline operatives.
Luke and Selina looked at each other in bewilderment. Was he talking about them?
Looking at Luke and Selina's expressions, Elsa took a sip of the wine gracefully. "This has nothing to do with you. It's not like you're the only NYPD field team."
Luke could only nod. It wasn't like he could blame the 15th Precinct on himself.
At this moment, the door opened.
The four of them looked over and saw two girls walking out of the room. They were still talking about something. "… No, no, no, I don't think that's right. If we use normal colors for other items, the contrast would be better …"
"… But I feel that this is enough. The mysterious and powerful Dark Knight …"
Elsa glanced at the two girls for a moment before she turned to Luke, waiting for a good show to start.
A contemplative look appeared on Selina's face as she looked at one of the girls.
With his extraordinary reflexes, Luke instantly figured everything out. He gave Elsa a look that said, "You did it on purpose."
Elsa shrugged, feeling no guilt.
She was already giving him face by remaining silent.
Selina recalled the guests that Luke had mentioned. A foreigner, an art student, and a young girl. Memories from almost a year ago surfaced in her mind, especially those very stylish photos of her.
Thinking that, she glanced at Luke, who was sitting diagonally across from her.
Luke shrugged and spread his hands to show that he didn't know anything. He then stood up and said with a smile, "Hello, Margaret. Elena, long time no see. "
The two girls who were in the middle of their discussion immediately stopped and looked at him.
"Luke, you're here." It was Margaret.
"Luke?" Elena was surprised. "Why are you here?"
Luke stepped forward with a smile. "Shouldn't I be the one saying that?"
As he spoke, he had already hugged Elena intimately and kissed her cheek. Then, he extended his hand to Margaret.
Startled for a moment, Margaret hurriedly shook hands with him. "I'm glad you came to the party, Luke. Hm, do you … know each other? "
As soon as she said that, Elsa looked at Selina in the living room.
Haley, on the other hand, looked at Elsa, Selina, and Luke with great interest.
Luke said, "Elena is a good friend of mine. We've known each other for a long time."
Margaret nodded and sized up Elena, who was so excited that her cheeks were slightly red. "Are you the American boy that Elena was talking about?"
Luke looked at Elena and said with a smile, "If I'm so unique in her heart, it should be me."
Elsa immediately turned her gaze away from Selina's face, and so did Haley.
They found that Selina's expression was the same as usual, as if she wasn't surprised at all.
Then, Selina stood up and stretched out her hand to Elena. "Hello, I'm Selina, Luke's partner."
Elena shook hands with her. "Nice to meet you, Selina."
Looking at this scene, Elsa and Haley looked at Luke, only to see that he was still smiling.
Was this guy really that good? He was fine? Elsa was suspicious.
Haley, on the other hand, clicked her tongue inwardly. Luke wasn't afraid at all when a foreign "friend" came knocking on his door.
Selina sensed something and smiled at Elsa and Haley. She didn't know what to say.
Her senses weren't bad. Elsa and Haley didn't try to hide their expressions, and she had already sensed it.
What they didn't know was that she had seen all of Elena's photos.
In this world, she was the person who knew Luke's private life the best. She wouldn't let unrelated people watch the show for nothing.
It was an unexpected meeting, and the few of them with different thoughts sat down just like that.
The atmosphere of the party was no different from a regular party.
Elsa would at most watch the show, and wouldn't really get involved in Luke's private life.
It was just like how Luke occasionally joked with her about "boyfriends" in private, but never brought it up when other people were around.
Haley preferred to observe the subtle expressions on these people's faces. She wouldn't stir up trouble herself and ruin her own party.
Margaret and Elena were the most innocent. In their happy state, they didn't notice the subtle expressions on the other people's faces at all.
Calmly, Selina poured herself a glass of juice and gave it to Gold Nugget, who was by her feet, when she had nothing to do.
