Chapter 223 Natural Partners
Luke could only say, âDonât wear this coat to work.â
Selina said, âDo you think Iâm an idiot whoâll go to work in a coat worth more than ten grand? Iâm not a celebrity.â
Luke thought for a moment and realized that it made sense.
Selina suddenly changed the subject. âYou didnât take any pictures this time? Elenaâs pictures last time were very beautiful.â
Luke chuckled. âNo. Vegas has nothing special, and Iâm a terrible photographer.â
Selina remembered how beautiful Elenaâs pictures were, seeing how the latter was an art student, and what an eyesore Lukeâs own photos were.
What she didnât know was that Luke had taken a lot of photos when he went around Las Vegas with the two girls, but the SD cards were in his inventory, so it was impossible for him to show them to Selina.
The plane soon landed in Los Angeles. They went home in Lukeâs police car, which he had left in airport parking.
Selina took off her new coat the moment she got home and carefully hung up the precious treasure in her closet.
All her clothes and shoes combined didnât cost as much as this coat; of course she had to be careful.
Luke threw his suitcase into his room and called Elsa. âBoss, just letting you know that Iâm back.â
Elsa said, âWell, you certainly enjoyed every second of your holiday, didnât you?â
Luke chuckled.
With more than three million in legal cash and after enjoying himself with two flexible and passionate dancers, he certainly wasnât in a hurry to go back to work.
After complaining for a bit, Elsa immediately got down to business. âItâs good to have you back. Get here early tomorrow. I have two cases for you.â
Luke didnât ask about the details, because he was afraid that Elsa wouldnât be able to stop talking if he did.
âAlright, boss. Iâll get to your office half an hour earlier tomorrow. Try to get some sleep, or you may get eyebags. Good night.â Luke quickly hung up.
Elsa almost choked. She couldnât help but look at herself in the mirror that was on her table, only to immediately place it face down. âNo, I have to get enough rest, or heâll definitely mock me tomorrow.â
She had been busy at work because she had just been promoted â she had to prove herself worthy of her new position.
Soon, Luke took a shower and said good night to Selina. Both of them went to sleep.
In a certain suite in Caesars Palace Hotel, Trinity woke up.
She felt very comfortable. The white sheet and quilt felt so nice on her naked skin that she didnât want to move at all.
Eyes still half-closed, she dozed for a while, and suddenly smiled as she recalled the way mischief flashed in the eyes of a certain someone.
When they first met, she thought that he was a good guy who was solemn in nature.
But after two days, she discovered that there was a playfulness hidden under his gentle appearance, which made him even more likeable.
Remembering the past two days, she chuckled now and then absent-mindedly.
Suddenly, she sensed someone draw close to hug her.
Trinity opened her eyes helplessly. âLanchi, didnât you say that you wouldnât learn from Luke?â
Next to her, Lanchi had woken up as well, and she smiled at Trinity.
Hearing what Trinity said, Lanchi quickly tickled her, mischief in her eyes.
Trinity burst out laughing and struggled, but to no avail.
She was so exhausted, as if she had run a marathon. She really had no strength left.
Lanchi, on the other hand, still had a bit of energy, and naturally, could play however much she wanted.
It wasnât until thirty seconds later that Lanchi finally released Trinity, who was almost crying with laughter. She asked, âWhy are your lips sweet?â
Trinity was angry. âBecause of the ice cream and chocolate you bought, of course. Iâm definitely going to gain weight.â
Lanchi chuckled and asked, âYou donât like them?â
Lost for words for a moment, Trinity admitted, âFine, they donât taste bad at all.â
Lanchi patted her head and comforted her. âWhen we go back, you can train harder to get rid of the calories.â
Trinity nodded. âFine. youâre always so smart. Huh. Wait, whatâs this?â In the dim light, something glimmered in Lanchiâs left ear. Baffled, Trinity reached out to touch it.
Trinity was blank. âSince when did you put in an earring?â
As dancers, they barely wore any accessories because it was inconvenient for them.
While hanging out with Luke, they had never returned to base either, and didnât have anything on them except their phones and purses.
Grinning, Lanchi got off her and turned on the lamp, which illuminated the bed.
Lanchi lay down on the bed again. âItâs not just me. Arenât you wearing an earring, too?â
Trinity subconsciously touched her right ear and felt something cool.
Lanchi pushed her hand away with a smile. âIâll help take yours off, and you take off mine.â
A moment later, they were each holding an earring, baffled.
This... had to be a farewell gift from a certain someone, right? But why had they each been given one earring instead of a pair?
Also, they realized that the two earrings belonged to the same pair.
What was that about? Both girls mumbled to themselves.
In the end, Lanchi rolled her eyes as she got it. Chuckling, she said to Trinity, âDonât you see? Heâs obviously implying that weâre a pair.â
Trinity was confused. âHuh? Really?â
Lanchi said, âOf course. Otherwise, he couldâve given each of us a pair, right? Huh. Let me look around. That guy likes tricks the best.â Then, after searching for a while, she returned with her purse.
Sitting on the bed, she unzipped her purse and poured out everything.
There was a mirror, lipstick, a makeup kit, an eyebrow pencil, eyebrow tweezers, mascara, a keychain, and some cards, coins and bills.
