Chapter 699 Invitation


    For Mary, this is a different afternoon tea time.


    "Do you really want to take us to see it? Mary?"


    Ashelika, the petite and cute Ashelika''s eyes shined, staring at Mary sitting opposite the table, while Charlie stared at her uneasy.


    "Yes, have you been worried about me all the time? I have already talked to Mr. Duanmu. He thinks it''s nothing bad to come to visit a few people. After all... what we do is not shameful."


    Speaking of this, Mary was also hesitant.


    Are the things they do really shameful?


    Not seemingly?


    It seems to be?


    “…………”


    Hearing Mary''s answer, Asherika and Charlie also looked at each other and couldn''t help but breathe a sigh of relief. As Mary''s friends, they also know that during this period, Mary has been taking leave often on the grounds of "internship inspection". On the surface, it is for work, but Mary has never told them what the specific job is. Not only that, they also found that Mary''s temperament had changed a little more. Originally, Mary was the strongest and most action-oriented among the three, but during these tea parties, they found that Mary''s temperament seemed to have become more... unique. She didn''t know what to say, but she felt that Mary seemed to have a kind of aura, as if it was difficult for others to refuse what she said.


    This also made Charlie and Asherika a little curious. Until one time, Asherika''s fiancé Howard came to meet the three of them at the tea party, and was shocked after seeing Mary. After that, he specifically asked Asherika.


    "Have Miss Mary encountered something recently?"


    "Hey? No? Is there anything wrong?"


    "Well... it''s quite strange."


    Howard hesitated for a moment, and still whispered to Asherika to express his feelings.


    "I can feel that Miss Mary has a unique aura, just like a soldier..."


    "Soldier? But Mary didn''t join the army. Is it about training self-defense or something?"


    "No."


    Howard shook his head.


    "It''s not the temperament of a new recruit, but a veteran... I once met a veteran who returned from an overseas battlefield. Miss Mary''s current temperament is very similar to him, and she has an indescribable majesty..."


    Yes, Howard used the word majesty. Although Mary was still a polite middle-class lady in the eyes of outsiders, she still spoke softly in her every move, which was exactly in line with the performance of a lady. But even the businessman, as a businessman, would be a little nervous when standing in front of the other side. It was not that the man was nervous when he saw the beauty, but more like instinctively feeling that the other party was already a different class from him, just like if he was at a loss when facing a big figure like a duke or a general, even if the other party seemed very approachable, it would still be uneasy. This is what Mary gave Howard.


    After listening to Howard''s explanation, Asherika was also uneasy. She found Charlie, and the two discussed it for a while and decided to ask Mary what job she was doing... After all, such a big change occurred in a short period of time, it was not like Mary''s performance.


    That''s why they took this afternoon tea time to ask Mary about the situation, but they got an unexpected answer.


    "Sure enough, I knew I couldn''t get out of touch with that man!"


    Hearing the name "Mr. Duanmu" appearing in Mary''s mouth, Asherika jumped up on the table with a slap, grinning, not knowing whether it hurts his hands or his anger.


    "So Mary, you''re still deceived by that man?"


    "Hey? No no, no, this really doesn''t..."


    Hearing Asherika''s questioning, Mary waved her hand quickly.


    "Mr. Duanmu is just looking fierce and is quite good to his own people."


    "Yes, Ah Xie, you can''t judge people by their appearance."


    At this moment, Xia Li, who had been listening quietly, spoke, and then she put down the teacup in her hand and stared at Mary with a smile.


    "After all, it''s too much to judge people by their appearance. Although the gentleman looks extremely vicious, like a murderer, he might be a weak man with a slender girlish heart and dare not even kill fish, right? Mary?"


    “Ah…uh…………”


    Faced with Xia Li''s questioning, Mary was speechless for a moment--she really couldn''t deny the murder of Ruma...


    Even Asherika spoke in front of Charlie with a weird expression. The man who was so fierce and tall and stout, said that he had a slender girlish heart... How awkward?


    “So Mary…”


    However, Xia Li stood up on her own.


    "Can we go and see your job now?"


    "Now?"


    I have to say that Charlie''s answer was really beyond Mary''s expectations, and she realized that her friend was so strong--well, it was impossible to say that she realized that since Charlie cried and shouted to kill her and be with her forever in Antarctica, Mary found that her friend was quite extreme in some places.


    Fortunately, Charlie had lost her memory at that time, otherwise Mary would not know how she would face herself after she woke up.


    After all, in Mary''s opinion, Charlie was the model of the real daughter-in-law... But since that incident, how can I say it... Mary feels that her friend is really a bit...who looks at her with admiration.


    In all senses.


    "Is there any inconvenience?"


    "No, but your afternoon class..."


    “I can ask for leave.”


    Xia Li said lightly, and Asherika was stunned for a moment, looking at her like she met Xia Li again, and then nodded. “Ah Xie can also ask for leave.”


    "All right."


    Since she had already said this, Mary could only nod her head helplessly.


    "So come with me."


    After leaving the restaurant, the girl and her group took the subway to Queens, and then Shali and Asherika followed Mary to the house in Duanmuhuai in Wudu. Then… they saw Mary reach out, take out a key from her pocket, and open the door.


    Seeing this scene, Charlie and Asherika''s eyes were straightened.


    Mary actually took them to a man''s house, and she even had the other party''s key!


    Is this a cohabitation already?


    Of course, Marie didn''t know what her friend was thinking. She opened the door and walked in, and the maid also walked out to the door.


    "You are back, Miss Mary."


    The maid is Duanmu Huai''s agent who stayed in this world, and is responsible for dealing with most of the issues about this world. Of course, due to the spread of the weapons in the Inquisition, the investigators are feeling more and more eager to commit suicide, so that most of the time, Duanmu Huai does not need to take action. He just needs to continue to open a store to attract customers, and then wait for the investigators to commit suicide.


    Hearing this, Charlie and Asherika even exchanged glances. The maid was not talking about welcome, but that you are back, that is...


    "Mary, you might not be here... living with that gentleman?"


    Xia Li looked at Mary carefully, not knowing whether she should say it for a moment, and even Asherika didn''t dare to speak. After all, in this world and in their country, the mainstream trend of women is still very conservative. Although Asherika is already engaged to Howard and has a fiancé, the intimacy between the two parties is limited to kissing on dates.


    A girl like Mary who is not married, actually lives with a man. This is more immoral than pregnancy before marriage!


    "What are these two?"


    The maid looked at the two people standing behind Mary and asked in confusion, and Mary hesitated for a moment.


    "They are my friends, and they want to go with me to see what''s going on...the situation over there."


    Speaking of this, Mary quickly added.


    "Mr. Duanmu has agreed."


    "no problem."


    The maid nodded and then turned around to move away.


    "Please come in."


    The two walked into the room under the leadership of Mary. Faced with this unexpected situation, Charlie and Asherika were obviously a little nervous.


    "What the **** is going on? Mary? Didn''t you say you wanted to show us where you work?"


    Xia Li looked around in a hurry.


    "But this...is that gentleman''s home?"


    "Uh...you can say yes or no, anyway, come with me..."


    As she spoke, Mary walked up the stairs, and her two friends followed her up.


    At this time, the hearts of the two began to be beating violently, and Xia Li stared at her friend''s figure, and she always felt a bad feeling. Why is Mary here? Will she fall in love with that man and live with him here? So what is her job? As a noble lady, Shali certainly knew the dirty secrets of many upper-class society. Some high-ranking officials and nobles would keep their lovers and make them playthings of their desires. This is no secret to Charlie.


    But will your friends become one of them? She gave up her dignity and wisdom and became a toy that would be left to men to tease?


    Xia Li couldn''t believe it, but the possibility of this was very high no matter how you looked at it. She stared at Mary''s back, and even the chaotic fantasy appeared in her mind.


    “………”


    For some reason, Xia Li suddenly felt a dry cough at this moment. She subconsciously swallowed a saliva and forced herself to withdraw her gaze staring at Mary. What''s wrong with her? Mary is her childhood sweetheart and a good friend, but she actually looks at her close friend with this kind of perspective?


    And... it even made Charlie feel a little excited?


    “??”


    Mary trembled. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, perhaps because of her nervousness?


    Mary thought for a while, then she didn''t think about this problem. She came to a room on the second floor, then took out the key again, opened the door, and walked in with Charlie and Asherika.


    This looks like an ordinary bedroom, and there is nothing strange from the outside. Asherika looks around curiously, while Charlie is in a daze. It is just a bedroom, but what does Mary bring them here mean? Could it be that she has become a slave to that man and now she wants to push her friends into the fire pit? Does she hope that she and Asherika will also become the guest of that man''s introductory position?


    Thinking of this, Charlie suddenly felt her heart beating violently. It was not because of fear, but because she was nervous, because when she thought that she might be able to sleep with Mary, she suddenly had some special expectation.


    Unfortunately, what happened next was not as Charlie thought. Mary just took out a key again and opened another door - the door was located by the wall, looking like a door leading to the balcony. Then Mary opened the door in front of the two of them and signaled them to step forward.


    “Get in.”


    "Get in??"


    Looking at the door in front of her, Charlie and Asherika looked at each other in confusion. They didn''t know what Mary asked them to do on the balcony, but they still obeyed Mary''s words and walked through the door.


    And the next moment, everything I saw in front of me made the two of them dumbfounded.
