Natalia rejoiced at their coming, "Welcome to Eqitin."
She opened her arms wide to embrace Queeny.
Queeny beamed with pleasure as well, for she didn't expect to find a new clue so soon. Apart from that, meeting Natalia was also worth celebrating.
Archie was too busy working to greet the guests, but he had phoned in advance.
The couple said it was fine. They can discuss the important matter when he got off work.
When they entered, Mrs. Dottie had already prepared a palatable meal.
She had heard of Felix and Queeny. The last time when Natalia returned from Lanceham, Mrs. Dottie kept raving about the local produce she brought home.
On seeing them in person, she found them both good-looking and polite fellas, just as wonderful as Mr. and Mrs. McCarthy.
They settled down in the dining room. Oliver and Anne had to attend school today, so they weren't at home.
After lunch, Natalia showed them around Eqitin. Felix was quite familiar here, because of the Felix family.
This was, however, the first time for Queeny to set foot in Ambario, so she was curious about everything.
The three of them took a walk around leisurely. Then they came to the Bissel Properties premises.
Natalia chuckled, "Well? You're gonna invite us to your place or not?"
Although Felix had already taken over most of the business at the Bissel Properties, he seldom showed up in this building.
He still held hatred for the Bissel family, because of his mother.
Though Ein Bissel had been trying to please him, the hatred wouldn't fade away easily.
Therefore, he looked sideways at Natalia and said, "Go alone if you want. After all, you're the expert here."
Noticing his sulks, Natalia chuckled, "Well well, I'm not exactly an expert when you're around. Alright, that's fine with me if you don't feel like it. But since Queeny's here, wouldn't it be nice for the future Mrs. Bissel to pay a visit to her territory?"
On hearing this, it finally occurred to Felix, so he quickly turned to Queeny.
Surely Queeny knew his issues with the Bissel family, so she didn't want to force him.
She smiled and said, "Not today. We still have plenty of places to visit, so no need to waste time on this."
Seeing that the couple is in tune with each other, Natalia can only shake her head and sign.
"You two lovebirds ... Nevermind, just pretend that I'm not even here!"
Queeny chuckled and blushed.
The three of them hung around, and then went to the McCarthy Properties at six.
Natalia phoned Archie to see whether he had left work, so that they could pick him up.
A few minutes later, Archie showed up.
Having made a reservation in Flat Iron Steak House, they decided to dine out tonight.
After they were seated, Natalia ordered some food for them. While waiting for the dishes, they started talking about their mission.
"Remember Mr. Quill? Lia looked into him yesterday, and I believe you have already known all the details. Today I happened to know that my grandma is an acquaintance of him. On the phone, she told me that she could introduce us to him, so I'll accompany you guys to see him then."
