Initially, I wanted to reject Gavin's suggestion. But he mentioned that Edward had specifically requested to invite the two of us. It would be bad if I did not go, so I could only reluctantly show up.
Gavin did not take it seriously and said, "What's wrong with you? Edward just invited you for a dinner, and you don't need to take it seriously. It's nothing, we're friends."
That was also the reason, but there was still a suspicion in my heart. But I was not sure what it was, so I could only persuade myself to be more reassured.
Today, Gavin was probably exhausted. After washing up, he lay down and fell aslept. He just took my hand, without doing anything else. All night without a dream.
Edward's dinner party was not big. It was a famous private restaurant in Aurora. When I was a child, I had heard of this restaurant, but I had never been there. When Gavin knew about it, he said jokingly. "This is also your dream when you were a child."
I said, "Hum, my childhood dream was not so specific."
Edward was very happy to see us, and he was much more outgoing than the last time we met. When it was so far away, Gavin whispered to me. "Hey, you see, he just came out of the sorrow of love."
I smiled at Edward and said hello to him. He also smiled and said, "Oh, thank you, Miss. Back. Even I didn't get it done, but you succeeded as soon as you came."
I said, "No, no, it's all a coincidence. You've laid the groundwork in front, and I'll just give them the last blow."
Gavin smiled proudly, "Well, this was a critical blow, or we couldn't defeat the enemy."
I had a hard time eating this meal, but Gavin was very happy. I didn't know what Edward was thinking. After all, I didn't know him. Even if he smiled, I wasn't sure if it was a real smile.
Edward asked Gavin, "Gavin, who will keep an eye on this project then?"
"I haven't thought about it yet. If it doesn't work, let Matt keep an eye on it. It was originally his work."
Edward thought for a while and agreed with Gavin, "Yes, I heard about him. It's pretty unfair, not entirely his fault."
Gavin nodded and said, "That's who the murderer behind the scenes is. There's still no evidence. "
Edward looked into Gavin's eyes and asked, "Listen to you, do you have a clue?
"Of course, I am not an idiot. I still don't understand this shit? "
Edward was silent for a while and suddenly said, "Forget it. We're here have a meal, not to talk about work. Darcey, have some more."
The gathering ended quickly, Gavin had to return to Denver soon. But at this time, a phone call made everyone thrown into confusion.
Goran called at the hotel, "Mr. Stone, please come back soon. Something went wrong!"
Gavin asked in a low voice, "What happened?"
"Matt just came to us and said that his family was kidnapped!"
"What?" Gavin hung up the phone and urged the taxi driver to leave. The driver did not dare to stay too long, neither did I dare to ask.
After arriving at the hotel, he saw Matt's middle-aged fat and full of vicissitudes from a distance. Gavin rushed up to him and asked, "What's wrong? What the hell happened?"
Matt seemed to have been pretty shocked. He grabbed Gavin and stammered, "I don't know.I haven't been out much lately. Today, I went to send my children to school. When I came back, my wife disappeared. I panicked and hurried back to find the children, but the children were not at school. The teacher did not know but said they were took away by their mother! "
