A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 305 If you have the ability, just wait

During the time when Arthur disappeared, Hosea always felt that his hair had become a lot grayer again.

Now he finally understood why Arthur showed an unknown smile to him at the end after explaining things to him that day.

It's amazing. When he was at the camp before, Hosea had never realized that Mary Beth was so 'capable'. Not to mention she could arrange a whole day's itinerary for him early in the morning, and one itinerary followed another. During this period, there are many documents that need to be signed.

After Mary Beth gathered the signed documents, she asked:
"Hosea, Arthur still didn't say when he would be back?"

Hosea capped the pen, rubbed his shoulders, and said with a wry smile:

"I also want to know this question. My old arms and legs can hardly bear the intensity of the work. I think I am really old. Or is Arthur younger?"

When Mary Beth heard Hosea's complaint, she smiled and went to the side to get a coffee pot and pour him a cup of coffee. She didn't forget to add two more pieces of sugar before bringing it to him. She said with a smile:

"It's not that Arthur is young. He is not as diligent as you. He can push many things to others when he can, and then he calls it 'making the best use of everything'. Don't you think it's irritating?"

"Haha." Hosea took a sip of the coffee with extra sugar and said:
"He's smart. Come to think of it, I guess things are almost settled. Brontë is dead and the hearing has been put on hold. I also heard that Pinkerton's director died outside St. Denis, although there was no such thing. There is no evidence, but I guess it must have something to do with Arthur, and Mayor Lemieux's recent situation is not good either. His assistant Jean Mark also came forward to report him for corruption, seeking power for personal gain, etc. In short, Now it seems that the troubles are basically solved, and the thing he is going to do is not in a short while, and it is almost time to come back to him."

Mary Beth nodded. She knew these things to some extent. After all, her job allowed her to handle a lot of documents and information.

"Well, I just hope everything goes well on his end." As she said that, Marybeth watched Hosea put down the coffee cup in his hand, then looked at herself with interest, and she asked doubtfully:
"What's wrong...is there something dirty on my face? Why are you looking at me like that?"

Hosea shook his head kindly, looked at Mary Beth and said:

"You work every day. I can barely be considered an elder. You don't mind me caring about your emotional life, right?"

Being asked this unexpectedly, Mary Beth became a little nervous for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.

And Hosea looked at Mary Beth's appearance and couldn't help but sigh and said:

"Work is not everything in life, Mary Beth. I know you like writing novels and you also like Arthur very much..."

Mary Beth wanted to answer 'yes', but what about 'likes Arthur too'?
Mary Beth hastily opened her mouth and denied firmly:
"I didn't! Don't talk nonsense..."

As if she felt the uncertainty in her tone, Mary Beth continued to add:

"We are just friends, companions, bosses and subordinates, nothing more."

Hosea smiled and raised his hands and said:

"Girl, these identities don't seem to have anything to do with whether you like Arthur or not, right? I'm someone who has been here before. I remember back then, Bessie and I..." "Mr. Matthews!" Mary Beth interrupted.

"It's almost time. I'm going to see if the owner of the Grand Reagan Casino, Mr. Moglin, who has made an appointment to meet, is already here."

After saying that, Mary Beth left the office, leaving only Hosea, who kept shaking his head, sitting behind the desk, lamenting that today's young people just can't do it, they don't have the style of their past at all. If you like it, you have to fight for it. , what’s there to be naughty about.

Not long after, Moglin, who had arrived earlier than the agreed time, was brought to the office.

Different from the high-spirited appearance before, Moglin now looked very haggard. Before he came, he knew that Arthur Morgan would not be here during this period. He looked at Hosea sitting behind the desk and put up a smile. , said somewhat flatteringly:
"Mr. Matthews, thank you very much for taking the time to see me."

Hosea had met Moglin, and he was also present at the 'Gamble Night' on the Big Reagan. Hosea had no idea why Moglin came to see him today, or in other words, he wanted to come to Arthur. Have some understanding.

"Mr. Moglin, this is too much. So, is there anything we can do to help?"

Hosea stretched out his hand to signal Moglin to sit across from him, and took a cigarette for himself from the cigarette case. This was an old habit. He always lit one when talking about things.

Moglin sighed and began to complain:
"Mr. Matthews, you should also know that because of that damn French noblewoman, the Reagan is still anchored in Saint Denis. If it is just restricted from leaving, then that's fine, but we are also restricted from operating. This cost us a lot of money.”

Hosea flicked the ashes from his cigarette and said bluntly:

"I'm sorry for you when you hear this, but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with us?"

Well, I really can’t say that it doesn’t matter. Originally, Moglin wouldn’t be so miserable, but because of the murder case, an investigation committee was established, which resulted in many of his connections being unable to be used, and because of Arthur’s As a result, Cornwall and others in the investigative committee insisted on strict investigation and strict handling, and this case must be nailed to Arthur's head. This caused the Big Reagan and Moglin to be affected. pond fish.

"The relationship here may be much greater than you think, Mr. Matthews. I won't say anything else. You know the reason why I'm here. Frankly speaking, I just hope that Mr. Morgan can investigate this as soon as possible." The committee's investigation is over, and we can discuss what compensation you want." Moglin's tone was firm.

Hearing this, Hosea remembered that Arthur seemed to have some ideas about the Grand Reagan Cruise Casino?So he opened his mouth and replied:

"How much of the shares in the Grand Reagan Cruise Casino are you, or the boss behind you, willing to transfer?"

Neither man debated whether to resolve the commission of inquiry, but rather whether to resolve it at all.

"Mr. Matthews? Isn't your appetite a bit too big? I'm just temporarily in some trouble. In fact, I can wait until this case is over?"

In response to Moglin's slightly angry tone, Hosea nodded indifferently and replied:

"Then why did you come to me? Just keep waiting."
