Li Bo asked, “Where are you now? Have you eaten?”

Locke replied, “I’m at the Ritz-Carlton Hotel. I made an appointment with an agent to look at the apartment here this afternoon. I’m about to eat…”

Li Bo said, “Okay, I remember you mentioned it the day before yesterday. I called to tell you that someone from the consulate just called me. After their investigation, they found that many international students in Los Angeles were deceived, especially female international students, so they plan to report the case to the LAPD…”

Locke heard what his father meant and replied, “Dad, this kind of case involving foreign affairs may not be handled by the LAPD. It may be transferred to the FBI. And the Detective Bureau has many departments. The Robbery and Murder Division has five groups. Even if the LAPD is responsible, the case may not fall on me…”

Li Bo said with some regret, “Okay, I understand!”

He reminded again, “If you decide to buy it, remember to call your mother…”

“I will…”

After hanging up the phone, Locke didn’t take it to heart. Unlike his father, he was not very enthusiastic about handling this case.

This case was too easy. He didn’t have any special thoughts because it involved Chinese students and was under the attention of the consulate.

Jennifer Gray and her friends had already taken their seats. The square table was just right for one person to sit on one side.

Locke sat in the vacant seat opposite Susan White. Jennifer Gray and Skye Spears sat on the left and right sides respectively.

Because they had already booked a set meal, Jennifer Gray asked the waiter to serve the dishes after Locke sat down.

The first thing that came was the pre-dinner appetizer cocktail and pre-dinner snacks. The three women also started chatting, from Hollywood celebrity gossip to the latest fashion trends…

Soon, the appetizers of bread soup and smoked salmon were served, followed by the main dishes of steak and Provence fish soup.

The food of this restaurant is pretty good. Locke immediately decided to bring Sarah Mendes and her friends to try it next time.

It must be said that there is a reason why Susan White is so successful. She is very good at communication, has excellent logic and eloquence, has enough life experience, and can easily control the rhythm of the conversation.

Locke also played the role of a listener very well, and he couldn’t interrupt the topic between women.

Through observation, he found that Susan White was a very friendly woman. Her words were frank and straightforward, and it was easy for people to believe her.

Through the chat, it was learned that Elizabeth Olsen did not intend to sell the apartment. It was Susan White who took the initiative to call and ask.

Then Elizabeth Olsen asked for her professional opinion and decided to sell the property.

Time usually goes quickly while eating and chatting. After eating dessert, the four left the restaurant and changed to the exclusive elevator of the top-floor apartment and went straight to the top floor.

In the elevator, Susan White smiled and said, “At least half of the 12 apartments on the top floor have been bought by NBA stars, including Clippers star Kawhi Leonard, Lakers star Kobe Bryant, former Lakers star Lonzo Ball, and Lakers executive Jim. Buss, I have also asked them, but they have no intention to sell…”

Jennifer Gray expressed gratitude again: “Thank you, Susan…”

Susan White looked at Locke meaningfully and replied: “There is no way, you rarely find me, I must help you find the house you like!”

She said again: “By the way, you all know Jacob Spielberg. He was involved in a case some time ago and was investigated by the FBI, but in the end the FBI proved that he was innocent. To celebrate this, Jacob will hold a party next week. This is a grand party, and many Hollywood stars will attend…”

“If you want to see it, I can help you get an invitation…”

Locke and Jennifer Gray looked at each other and smiled and replied: “Thank you, I already have an invitation!”

Greenberg Manor will receive many invitations, but Daisy Greenberg usually ignores them.

Jacob Spielberg is a member of the Greenberg family, so he is likely to send an invitation to Greenberg Manor.

Susan White’s eyes flashed, and she became more curious about Locke. At this time, the elevator arrived. Elizabeth Olsen’s apartment is located on the 52nd floor of the hotel. After Susan White entered the access code, she took Locke and the others into the room. She smiled at Locke and the others and said, “I’m going to start my program. The Ritz-Carlton Hotel and the apartment project were developed by AEG, which is also the developer of LA live. So, this whole area is their property. They also own the Noble Tower in New York Times Square.The Kia Theatre, London’s O2 Plaza, the Lakers’ home court, Staples Center, etc. They are one of the largest developers on the West Coast…

“After Elizabeth bought this apartment, she basically did not make any changes. The room decoration still maintains the design of Fendi Gensler, all the appliances are top-notch, the furniture is Schneider, and the kitchen is a full set of Gaggenau…”

“The Liz Carr Hotel Apartment can enjoy all the services of the hotel, such as valet parking, room cleaning, private meeting rooms, top-floor heated swimming pool, SPA, etc…”

As soon as Locke walked into the room, he came to the large floor-to-ceiling window. The panoramic view of the apartment has always been one of the selling points.

Standing by the window, whether it is LA live below, or the Hollywood Hills in the north, the Pacific Ocean in the west, and the downtown area in the east, you can see it all.

After Jennifer Gray and Susan White toured the house, they came to Locke and asked, “How is it?”

Locke nodded and said, “I like the visuals here, what do you think?”

Jennifer Gray said, “I also want to try this kind of high-rise apartment. I just saw it. Elizabeth Olsen rarely lives here. The hotel will maintain it regularly. You only need to replace the bedding and you can move in directly. It is very suitable for you…”

She paused, bit her lip, and smiled, “Maybe, no need to change…”

Locke looked at her speechlessly and said to Susan White, “Susan, Skye will talk to you about the contract next. Thank you for your help!”

After handing the follow-up to Skye Spears, Locke took Jennifer Gray away.

In the elevator, Jennifer Gray took out her lip gloss to touch up her makeup, “Where are we going next? Back to the hotel room?”

Locke replied, “Take you to a place you have never been to…”

Just as he walked out of the elevator, his cell phone rang. It was Doug calling.

“Locke, Senator Gray will invite you to dinner tonight. I’ll send you the address later…” After saying this, he hung up, as brief and cold as ever. “…” Locke was speechless for a while. He was planning to spend the night alone with Jennifer Gray in the Malibu villa tonight. Skye Spears had already prepared everything there. Jennifer Gray asked curiously, “What’s wrong? Who’s calling?” Locke shrugged and said, “Your dad’s dog!”
