Chapter 122 Don't be in a hurry

"Vanessa, someone is looking for you."

At the end of the fashion show, Vanessa, who was removing her makeup backstage, heard a staff member calling her and handed her a note.

She took a look at it, narrowing her eyes slightly, ignoring the curious and gossiping eyes of the staff member, and threw the note into the trash can next to it.

After a while, Vanessa left the backstage after tidying up and came to the street outside.

The moon hung in the night sky, casting a hazy light. She looked around and soon noticed the figure standing beside a Porsche on the side of the road.

"Long time no see, I didn't expect you to come here as a model." When Vanessa approached, Locke greeted with a smile.

Without replying immediately, Vanessa first motioned for Locke to open the car door, and the two got into the car one after another.

After starting the car, Locke continued, "Do you want to have dinner together?"

"No need." Vanessa shook her head: "Are you looking for me for money?"

"If it was for money, I would have taken it all away." Locke said with a smile, "It's just that I suddenly saw an old friend and wanted to catch up with each other."

Vanessa didn't really suspect that Locke's goal was not money, and she still doesn't know the identity of the man beside her, but as he said, if it was for money, he did have the opportunity to take it all away.

"Speaking of which, I didn't expect you to become a model. Isn't the money you got that time not enough for you?" Locke asked casually.

"I was originally a contracted model, and what I did before was just a side job." Vanessa looked at Locke with a half-smile: "Speaking of which, I don't know what you do yet."

"Financial investment is what some people call vampires. If you have extra money, you can also entrust it to me to take care of the investment, which guarantees a good return." Locke said.

"Forget it, I'm afraid I'll lose everything by then." Vanessa shook her head and looked out the window: "I heard that Dorat was killed not long after the incident."

The streets are full of cars and people, the streets of London are extremely bustling, and the nightlife has just begun.

As she said just now, modeling is indeed her job, but growing up in a slum in Brazil, she has her own channels, and just in time for the opportunity to start a side job, she took the opportunity to work in New York.

But what she didn't expect was that Locke actually had a serious job. She thought that Locke was Dorat's enemy or something, and she didn't contact him at all after that time.

"I don't know the details, but he should have died in a gang fight." Locke smiled. Of course, Dorat was killed by him after he cleared up hidden dangers, but there is no need to say it.

The car stopped in front of a well-known restaurant in London. Locke had already reserved a seat. After ordering, he handed the menu to the waiter. Locke looked at Vanessa and said:

"I have always felt that the career of modeling is not suitable for a girl like you. I remember that your driving skills are very good. I have a job here. I don't know if you are interested."

"Are you going to let me be your driver?" Looking at Locke with a half-smile, Vanessa said, "The income of a driver is far worse than that of a model."

"It's not the driver, it's the instructor." Locke said, "I've opened a new security company in New York, and I want you to be the instructor of the bodyguards."

"Why did you become the boss of the security company again?" Vanessa looked suspicious.

"This world is not peaceful. Financial businesses do make money, but if they earn too much, there will naturally be many people who are jealous." Locke said with a 'sigh': "People must learn to protect themselves."

Vanessa felt that the man in front of her didn't tell the truth, but thinking that the other party knew her background, she didn't refuse directly, but continued to chat with Locke, wanting to find out the truth about Locke.

At the beginning, she got more than 1000 million yuan in New York. As the leader of the four long legs, she got the most.

With money, it is natural to have a good time, travel and vacation in various places and rest for two months, until I found that the money came and spent quickly, and then I started to work as a model again.

But I didn't expect to meet Locke in London so soon, and according to him, he was still a very rich guy who wanted to let himself work for him.

And she guessed that Locke should not be ordinary rich, otherwise he would not have been indifferent to more than 1000 million US dollars.

After a meal, when she walked out of the restaurant, Vanessa found that it was very close to the hotel where she was staying, and said, "Have you investigated me?"

"Some simple information." Sensing that the night wind was a bit cold, Locke took off his coat and put it on Vanessa's shoulders: "After all, there must be some understanding of the situation of future employees."

"So it's okay if I don't agree?"

"Don't worry, I don't like to force others, but the treatment I give you should be much better than continuing to be a model." Locke said with a smile:
"You can think about it more. I will stay in London for a few more days. When you think about it, you can contact me."

The two soon arrived at the entrance of Vanessa's hotel. She took off her coat and returned it to Locke. Locke pointed to the hotel and said, "I'll take you up."

Vanessa didn't refuse, and walked directly into the hotel door.

Locke accompanied her into the hotel and came to the floor where she stayed, and she invited Locke into the room.

"Sit casually first, I'm going to change clothes." Vanessa said to Locke.

Sitting on the sofa very naturally, Locke said: "You do your work first."

Vanessa smiled, picked up her pajamas and walked into the bathroom. After a while, she changed into a bathrobe, walked out with wet hair, and came to sit next to Locke.

Taking a sip of Locke's brewed coffee, Vanessa said, "I've thought about it, and I can promise you to work as an instructor in your security company."

"I think you should put away the gun hidden on your body, so that you can speak with sincerity." Locke smiled and stood up from the sofa:

"You should rest these few days. It just so happens that I don't have anything special to do when I come to London. Why don't you play here together? Don't worry about being an instructor. I believe you will agree willingly sooner or later."

After finishing speaking, Locke opened the door and left the hotel room. Only at this time did Vanessa take out the gun hidden in her body from her arms, and looked at the door of the room with a different expression.

For Vanessa, Locke naturally had an idea long ago, but at this time Vanessa is more wary of Locke, and he will not act too hastily, insisting on getting it now.

In the next few days, Locke invited Vanessa several times to play around London.

There are many old buildings in this city, not to mention what they look like inside, but walking on the street and looking at them, they feel very distinctive.

Most of them are private land. When they were originally designed and built, durability was often considered. There are buildings from the [-]th and [-]th centuries everywhere on the road, which has a sense of history.

Just a week later, Locke got the detailed information about Vanessa in Brazil, coupled with the understanding during this period, further confirmed that she could be trusted, and invited her to see the house together.

Now that you are planning to invest in London, you naturally need to choose a suitable place to settle down.

Vanessa didn't expect that there was an eleven or twelve-year-old girl beside Locke this time.

It was Peggy who was dissatisfied with Locke who was always going out to play alone recently, and insisted on following Locke this time.

The three of them first went to see the villa by the Thames, but they just walked around casually, and Locke was a little dissatisfied.

His current appetite has been whetted by what he has seen recently. After seeing it, he feels that the townhouse is a bit small.

There is a football field 200 meters away from the canal ships that pass by every day, which in Locke's view is the lack of privacy.

Standing on the balcony on the third floor of the villa, you can see countless figures outside the stadium waiting to enter the stadium, and you can naturally see him on the opposite side.

After reading it, Locke didn't continue to look at other riverside villas, and directly ordered to go to Kensington Garden Street to take a look, and forget about these ordinary villas.
