Rebirth of England.

Chapter 017 Mischief



The London residence of Viscount Bute, Chelsea.

Chelsea, whose full name is Kensington Chelsea, is a royal borough under the jurisdiction of Greater London.

Among the three traditional wealthy areas in London, Chelsea is more favored by some aristocrats.

Because here, there are a large number of historic Victorian buildings and noble British mansions - the famous royal palace Kensington Palace is located here.

Of course, correspondingly, the housing prices here are also very expensive, no less than in Kensington where Barron lived at this time.

"Welcome, Lord Barron."

"It's an honor to receive your invitation, Mr. Boot."

After shaking hands with Viscount Bute, a white and flawless hand stretched out in front of Barron. He took the jade hand and kissed it gently:

"Madam, your beauty can make the stars pale."

"Your praise is like a breath of fresh air, Your Excellency..."

Viscount Bute's wife, Chris, had a bright smile on her face. She looked at Barron's handsome face with her beautiful eyes, then pulled the equally beautiful girl beside her and said to him:

"This is my cousin Bonnie, she is your school friend."

"It's an honor to meet you, Miss Bonnie..."

When Barron saw the cousin of the viscountess, he had to admit that she had an excellent figure. Not only was she tall, but she also had great looks. He admired:

"Your figure is really as good as those of supermodels, and you seem familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere..."

"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency. In fact, I have worked as a print model before, and now I am a host on Sky TV. This may be why you feel that I look familiar."

……

The interior decoration layout of Viscount Bute's residence is still very modern, which is slightly different from his noble status.

In addition, the dinner party was carefully prepared by the other party. It can be seen that the other party put a lot of thought into this invitation.

During the meal, Viscount Bute did not talk about the land near King's Cross Station, and the atmosphere between them was relaxed and chatting.

The topic involves the just-concluded "Golden Jubilee Celebration", which is also the hottest topic in England recently. In addition, it is the World Cup and Michael Jackson's upcoming visit to London in a week.

Bonnie is two years older than Barron. They both graduated from University College London. She can be said to be his senior. However, they chose different majors, so in the memory of Barron's predecessor, they are not really there. Saw her at school.

With such a connection, the two of them also have many common topics and talk about some interesting things about school.

In terms of appearance, Bonnie and Viscountess Chris have some similarities, but in comparison, Chris is more plump and mature, while Bonnie is full of youthfulness and very enthusiastic.

As for the attire of the two of them, Viscountess Chris wore a long skirt, which was a more formal dress style; while her cousin Bonnie wore a suit skirt similar to business attire, and the shirt inside was more formal. The sense of design just now makes the whole look not too solemn, adding a bit of beauty.

In particular, the pair of long legs wrapped in gray stockings peeking out from under Bonnie's skirt were straight and slender, which attracted Barron's attention.

Of course, on the surface, he can't lose his composure, but there is no trace, and his eyes will sweep over there.

On the dining table itself, Bonnie sat on one side of Barron, while Viscount Bute and Lady Bute sat opposite them.

Therefore, Viscount Bute and Chris across from him may not have noticed Barron's slightly wanton gaze, but Bonnie beside him was surprisingly sharp.

While Barron was discussing England's prospects in the Asahi World Cup with Viscount Bute, Bonnie stood up slightly and moved her chair back - so that more of her legs were exposed on the tablecloth. outside.

"We tied with the Swedish team in the first game, and there is also Argentina in the group, and the Nigerian team is not weak. It seems that our group of death is really not optimistic. I really hope the boys can create miracles."

Participating in the discussion about the World Cup, while talking, Bonnie still sat upright as usual, but put one leg on top of the other...

This movement made her long legs even more eye-catching. However, in this scene, Barron, who was sitting next to her, could see that through the tablecloth and the dining table, the Viscount Bute and his wife opposite were invisible. Know what she is doing under the table at this time.

Therefore, Barron's eyes were immediately attracted to Bonnie's long legs...

Just as he looked over, he also noticed the other person's gaze. He raised his head and met Bonnie's eyes, only to see her blinking at him quickly.

This woman definitely did it on purpose!

Of course, these are just a small episode tonight, a little "prank" from Bonnie...

This also once made Barron wonder whether the reputation of his predecessor as a "playboy" had spread so widely.

After dinner, Viscount Bute invited Barron to his study for tea.

He knew that tonight's drama was coming.

"Lord Barron, you should remember that the last time we met, I mentioned my intention to cooperate with your father."

"Is that the land near King's Cross that holds the gas tanks?"

"Yes, the location is pretty good. The only obstacle is those huge abandoned storage tanks..."

Viscount Bute picked up a cigar and handed it to Barron:

"You can try this, the good stuff from Cuba."

Barron was no stranger to cigars, whether it was his previous life or his predecessor, so after taking it, he skillfully picked up the cigar cutter, cut off the cap, toasted it patiently, and finally smoked lightly. Take a sip and feel the mellow aroma in your mouth...

At the same time, Viscount Bute said:

"Originally, I hoped to cooperate with you to develop that piece of land, but now, I know that you may have some minor difficulties in terms of funds, so I can give you another option, which is to purchase that piece of land. We develop independently, so that Lord Barron, for you, can also recover a sum of funds to solve the current difficulties."

"It seems like a good suggestion..."

Barron leaned back on the sofa, looked at Viscount Bute in front of him, and asked with interest:

"I wonder what price your Excellency the Viscount can give for that piece of land?"

"We asked a professional institution to conduct a valuation of the land and finally determined the purchase price..."

Facing Barron's gaze, Viscount Bute said slowly:

"800 million pounds, in cash, will be paid as soon as the contract is signed."
