William sat on the sofa in a daze, thinking about the beauty in his memory and how to ask her out.
Ben Gaetz looked at the banners for the 66th anniversary of the National Archives in the waiting area. He picked up a brochure and looked at it. The corner of his mouth twitched, and he reached out to shake the brochure in front of William.
William, who woke up with a start, glanced at the brochure and immediately understood what he meant. Ben Gaetz wanted to sneak into the archives during the reception.
During the commemorative reception, the security guards would definitely not have the energy to focus on the underground vault, which gave Ben Gaetz a chance.
William looked at Ben Gaetz happily and nodded tacitly, but he was secretly waiting for him to steal the declaration.
If he didn't steal it, he would have a chance to destroy the invisible patterns and numbers.
After a few minutes, Chopra came out and said, "Mr. Devonshire, Mr. Smith, please come with me. The doctor is free now."
William looked at Ben Gaetz strangely. "Mr. Smith?"
Ben Gaetz said in an embarrassed whisper, "I can't help it. The Gaetz family is somewhat unpopular in the academic world. I'm Smith now. Don't let it slip."
William said gloatingly, "Why don't you change your name? Smith sounds good."
Ben Gaetz rolled his eyes and scolded with a smile, "F * ck you."
After entering the office, Abigail Chass got up and shook hands with William and Ben. After greeting them, she said, "Is there anything I can help you with? Mr. Devonshire and Mr. Smith. "
Ben Gaetz and William looked at the doctor in front of them in surprise. He didn't expect the person in charge of the declaration to be so young and beautiful. She was even more beautiful than most supermodels.
William was really stunned by the beauty in front of him. This made Chopra, who had been observing him, very satisfied with William's expression. He winked at Abigail and looked at her with a smile.
Abigail blushed a little from Chopra's stare. Seeing that William and Ben were distracted, she coughed to remind them.
William touched his nose awkwardly and said in a gentlemanly manner, "I'm sorry, Doctor. I didn't expect the director of the National Archives to be so young and beautiful. Let me formally introduce myself. My name is William Devonshire, from Oxford, England. It's a pleasure to meet you. This is Mr. Smith, from Australia."
Abigail was very satisfied with William's performance. People were vain. She was even more satisfied that a handsome rich man like William was surprised by her beauty.
With William as a comparison, Abigail didn't put the slightly handsome Ben Gaetz in her eyes. She just nodded slightly to Ben Gaetz as a greeting.
This made Ben Gaetz a little depressed. He thought to himself that he would never meet a beauty with William in the future. Otherwise, the beauty's attention would be all on William. How could he still ask a beauty out?
Abigail smiled at William and said, "I'm also very happy to meet you, Mr. Devonshire. Please sit down. Is there anything I can help you with?"
William smiled and said, "Mr. Smith next to me has some academic ideas about the founding of the nation. This time, we're here to ask if we can study it while it's being repaired. For this, we're willing to donate some funds to the National Archives."
Abigail's attitude became even better when she heard that William was willing to donate money. "Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. You're a well-known person, so in principle, there's no problem. It's just that the next repair time will have to wait until December this year. We just checked the founding of the nation last month."
Ben Gaetz was put in a difficult position when he heard that he had to wait for half a year. William didn't care about whether he could examine it closely or not, so he shrugged at Ben Gaetz helplessly.
Ben Gaetz quickly asked, "Can't you arrange for us to take a closer look in the next few days? I'm willing to donate 100,000 dollars for this."
Ben Gaetz spoke too quickly, which made Abigail suspicious. "Mr. Smith, you'd better tell me the truth. Why do you want to see the founding of the nation? I think you should understand the importance of this document even if you're an Australian. Otherwise, I'll reject your application."
As soon as he said that, Ben Gaetz regretted it. He didn't expect Abigail to be so smart.
Ben Gaetz hesitated and said, "Of course, it's an academic problem. William and I have some disagreements about the parchment of the declaration. I hope …"
Before Ben Gaetz could finish, Abigail interrupted, "There's no need to check anymore. We have detailed inspection materials here. If you need it, I'll give it to you for 100 dollars. We used to receive a lot of applications from the academic community every year, so we did a comprehensive inspection in this regard during the renovation last year. Forget it, Ms. Chopra, please help me get a copy of the materials. Take it as a gift from me to Mr. Smith."
Chopra nodded and took out a document from the office and handed it to Ben Gaetz. Abigail smiled and said to William, "Is there anything else you two need? If not, let's call it a day. I still have something to do, so I won't see you out. "
The beauty was not easy to fool. She had already chased them away. Ben Gaetz had no choice but to say to Abigail directly, "Treasure."
"Treasure? What does this have to do with the declaration? " Abigail and Chopra looked at Ben Gaetz in surprise, then looked at William.
The two of them never thought that William, a rich man who started his business on the stock market, would not pay attention to the stock market and instead believe in the legend of treasure. He even went to look for treasure with others. In their opinion, this was not a proper occupation.
Questioned by the beauty, William said indifferently, "Don't look at me like that, lady. Looking for treasure is one of my few hobbies, just like some people like bungee jumping and racing."
She turned to Ben Gaetz and said, "Sorry, Ben, I think you should tell the truth. I can't help you."
"This, this …" Ben Gaetz was very embarrassed. He didn't want to tell the director of the declaration that he was a member of the Gaetz family. He knew that his family's reputation in the American academic community was as annoying as cockroaches in a smelly ditch.
"Wait, your name is Ben, Ben Gaetz? The Gaetz family who has been promoting conspiracy theories? " Abigail quickly reacted and looked at the two with anger in her eyes. It seemed that the surname Gaetz was really famous in the United States. He didn't even need to report his name.
Ben Gaetz quickly explained, "Yes, lady, I'm Ben Gaetz, but please believe me, I'm not a liar."
However, Abigail didn't listen to Ben Gaetz's explanation at all. She waved her hand and interrupted him, "Well, gentlemen, I still have something to deal with. Let's talk next time."
Being driven away for the second time made Ben Gaetz very helpless, "Please listen to me, lady. I'm here to remind you to be careful of the security of the Declaration of Founding the Nation. Now there is a group of international treasure thieves who are eyeing it. We all believe that there is a set of invisible passwords behind the Declaration, and that set of passwords is related to a treasure."
"National treasure, I know, but I'm sorry, Mr. Gaetz. I'm not William, an Englishman, and I know nothing about the Gaetz family. Mr. Gaetz, you should save your energy and leave. Ms. Chopra, please help me send these two gentlemen out."
Chopra stepped forward and reached out to William and Ben Gaetz, indicating that they should leave.
However, William wouldn't leave just like that, so William said to Ben Gaetz, "Ben, you should go first and think of other ways. I still have something to talk to Ms. Abby about."
After that, he lowered his head and whispered in Ben Gaetz's ear, "Don't get in the way of me, please, Ben."
