America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 80 Second date with Ikana

Abel did not lie to David.

His date at noon is really not a little Hollywood actress.

It's a famous New York lady.

In the upper class of New York society,
D. Ikana Lerner, who is much more famous than her own father D. Ted Lerner.

It has been almost half a month since I last met Ikana.

This time it was Abel who asked her out for lunch.

The place for lunch is "Modern Hotel's Steakhouse", a tire three-star restaurant on the Upper East Side.

That's right, the name of this restaurant is "The Steakhouse in the Modern Hotel".

English is Steak shop in a modern hotel, which is a literal translation of the name.

People from the Celestial Dynasty look weird, but the names of many shops and companies in Laomei are actually like this.

This store features a beautiful view overlooking Central Park.
As well as a variety of delicious steaks and American meals.

The price is actually not expensive, and the per capita consumption is about 90$.

Well, to the average American working class.

Still quite expensive.

The restaurant was chosen by Abel, he likes the steak here.

But the position is chosen by Ikana, and it is up to her to decide.

"The chef of this restaurant used to work in my house."

Sitting opposite Abel, today's Ikana is wearing a white top with a little purple, and the bottom is a lavender short skirt, which is swaying slightly.

She had long, beautiful blonde hair that fell to her waist, and large, unfathomable blue eyes.

Wearing white high heels on the feet, it is estimated that they may be 10 centimeters.

with her height,

Abel felt that when she stood up, she might not be shorter than him.

This is also a standard big ocean horse, a little taller than Liv Tyler at 178cm.

Very beautiful, very modern woman, very delicate clothing and makeup.

"I like the steak here." Abel smiled and admired her obviously meticulously groomed face, and said:

"A lot of people like their steaks medium rare, medium rare, or even medium.

Maybe I'm weird, I like well-done. "

"It just so happens that this restaurant can cook the steak fully, and it can also guarantee a certain degree of tenderness."

"That's why I like coming here to eat."

After hearing Abel's request for steak, D. Ikana Lerner was slightly surprised.

Her father's favorite steak is also well-done.

That's why she invited the current chef of this restaurant to be her family's personal chef.

But that was years ago.

At that time, the chef was not so famous.

Later, when her father went bankrupt for the seventh time, he couldn't afford a private chef.

The chef who was able to make a well-done steak soft and tender left Lener's house.

She smiled and said, "Okay. This hobby of yours is not bad.

Eating well-cooked foods is easier to digest.It is more beneficial to the body. "

Abel shrugged as the restaurant waiter approached.

"Good afternoon, sir and madam." The beautiful waitress smiled with a first-class service attitude.

But her service was interrupted.

A male chef in his mid-fifties, wearing a top hat, appeared behind her.

"Lena, let me do it." The chef smiled and said to the maid.

"Chef Stephen?!" the waiter said in surprise.

"Let me come, Lena."

"Ok."

The female waiter hurriedly left, she couldn't afford to offend the most important chef in the shop.

"Mr. Smith, is it the old rules?" After the waiter Lina walked away in surprise.

The chef in the chef's costume came to Abel and D. Ikana Lerner with a smile and spoke.

"Mr. Stephen?" Seeing the chef, Ikana whispered in surprise.

"You know him? Oh, Stephen used to be your father's chef."

Abel smiled next to him, and continued:

"That's right, the old rules are fine.

Besides, dear Stephen, what are you thinking about? "

Ikana doesn't know what Abel's "old rules" are.

She is more curious now, what Abel asked Stephen to think about.

"Think clearly." Seeing the chef of this restaurant, Stephen responded with a smile:

"Mr Smith, I would love to work for you.

I have submitted my resignation to my former boss, the day after tomorrow at the latest.

I can report to you. "

"Great."

Abel smiled and said, "That way, I can eat your steak every day."

"It's a great honor~" Stephen bent slightly and said with a smile.

"you."

Ikana was on the side, and said in a surprised tone.

"Just like you think." Abel smiled, "I especially like Stephen's cooking skills.

I extended an invitation to him last week.

Obviously, Stephen agreed to my request. "

"Yes." Stephen said with a smile, "I have submitted my resignation."

After hearing this, Ikana didn't know what to say.

After a few seconds, she said leisurely:
"If this is the case. Abel, the owner of this restaurant will hate you to death."

"That has nothing to do with me." Abel shrugged:

"Stephen is more willing to work for me. That proves that the conditions on my side are more attractive to Stephen."

"Are you right, Stephen."

"You are right, sir."

Seeing Stephen's cooperation, the protagonist smiled and said, "Let's order for this lady first."

"Ok."

"Ms. Ikana." Stephen obviously remembered Ikana, he smiled and said, "What would you like to eat? Is it the same as before?"

"Yes." Ikana said, "Give me medium-rare, please. Forget it."

She changed her mind and said, "Give me a well-done steak, too."

She suddenly wanted to try the taste that her father and Abel liked.

"Okay. I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment, Mr. Smith."

"no problem."

Stephen left.

Ikana couldn't help but look at Abel, who was overlooking Central Park.

This gave her a chance to take a good, sneaky look at the other party.

The man had many typical Anglo-Saxon features.

Blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin, tall and strong, with slightly drooping outer eyelids and sunken eye sockets, that is, slightly triangular eyes.

But this kind of triangular eyes will not make his eyes look small.

Instead, his eyes looked aggressive, like a eagle watching a wolf.

His face is vertical, as if cut by a knife, except for the straight nose, there is no obvious abrupt point.

Unlike her slightly rounder German, the Anza looks more aggressive in appearance.

From the perspective of physiology and race, Ikana made this psychological evaluation of Abel's appearance.

Aesthetically, the Anglo-Saxons rarely produce handsome men.

But the Abel in front of him is different,

She thought the man in front of her was handsome.

At the same time, he is manly and impeccable in appearance.

Among the Anza people, there are not many beautiful men.

"Look below."

Suddenly, Ikana heard Abel say this.

At the same time, his gaze returned to her.

She quickly withdrew the eyes that admired the "beauty" just now, and subconsciously responded, "Huh?"

Abel snickered in his heart, although his attention was on the bottom just now.

But Ikana's eyes and dazed little movements are also seen in his eyes.

He didn't expose the other party, but pointed out the window and downstairs.

That's Central Park, an open space in front of the building where the restaurant is located.

Ikana looked in the direction he pointed, and found that it was a fenced construction site.

The area is not large, it is estimated to be about tens of thousands of square feet, and it may be smaller.

There is a fence outside, and some construction materials and tools are stored in the open space, as well as a small excavator.

It's not elegant at all.

It greatly spoils the atmosphere of Central Park for the guests at the location of the restaurant.

"What's the matter? A clearing, I remember it seems to be"

She recalled it carefully, and then said: "It is the land of the Teplan Real Estate Group. Because of the entanglement of property rights, it has been vacant for two years."

"Yes." Abel nodded, and suddenly said: "If a skyscraper is built on this land.

Given that it is only one street away from Central Park, it must be able to make a lot of money. "
