Start a core cabin

For Mary, it was a different tea time.

"Would you really like to show us, Mary?"

Aselika, the petite and lovely Aselika stared at Mary sitting across the table with bright eyes, while Charlie watched her uneasily.

"Yes, haven't you been worried about me? I've already talked to Mr. Duanmu, and he thinks there's nothing wrong with visiting with a few people. After all... what we're doing isn't something shameful."

Speaking of this, Mary also hesitated.

Is what they did really shameful?

It seems not?

It seems to be?

"........."

Hearing Mary's answer, Aselika and Xia Li also looked at each other, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As Mary's good friends, they also knew that during this time, Mary had been asking for leave and going out frequently on the grounds of "internship inspections". On the surface, it was for work, but Mary never told them what kind of work it was. Not only that, but they also found that Mary's temperament had changed a bit. Originally, Mary was the strongest and most active among the three, but during these several tea parties, they found that Mary's temperament seemed to be more...unique. There is an aura, as if what she said is difficult for others to refuse.

This also made Xia Li and Aselika vaguely curious, until one time, Aselika's fiancé Howard came to meet the three of them at a tea party, and was shocked when he saw Mary. After that, he specifically asked Aselika.

"Has something happened to Miss Mary recently?"

"Huh? No? What's the matter?"

"Hmm...it's kind of weird."

Howard hesitated for a moment, but whispered his feelings to Aselika.

"I can feel that Miss Mary has a unique aura, like that of a soldier..."

"Soldier? But Mary didn't serve as a soldier. Did you mean training in self-defense?"

"No."

Howard shook his head.

"It's not the temperament of a recruit, but a veteran... I once saw a veteran who returned from an overseas battlefield. Miss Mary's current temperament is very similar to his, with an indescribable majesty..."

That's right, Howard used the word majesty. Although Mary is still a well-behaved middle-class young lady in the eyes of outsiders, she still speaks so softly when she gestures and speaks, which is completely in line with the performance of a lady. But even he, a businessman, would feel a little nervous when standing in front of the other party. It was not that a man felt nervous when he saw a beautiful woman, but more like an instinctive feeling that the other party was already a different class from his own, as if he was facing a duke or a general. Even if the other party seems very approachable, it will still make people uneasy. This is what Mary gave Howard.

After hearing Howard's explanation, Aselika was also uneasy. She found Xia Li, and the two discussed it, and decided to ask Mary what kind of work she was doing... After all, such a big change happened in a short period of time. Like Mary's performance.

That's why they took advantage of this afternoon tea time to ask Mary about the situation, but they got an unexpected answer.

"Sure enough, I knew I couldn't get away from that man!"

Hearing the name "Mr. Duanmu" come out of Mary's mouth, Aselika slapped the table and jumped up, grinning for a while, not knowing whether it was pain from the slap or anger.

"So Mary, you were really cheated by that man?"

"Huh? No, no, this is really not..."

Hearing Aselika's question, Mary waved her hands hastily.

"Mr. Duanmu just looks fierce, but he is quite good to his own people."

"Yes, Xie, you can't judge people by their cover."

At this moment, Xia Li, who had been listening quietly by the side, spoke, and then she put down the teacup in her hand, and looked at Mary with a smile on her face.

"After all, judging people by their appearance is too much. Although that gentleman looks vicious, like a murderous executioner, maybe he is a weak man with a slender girlish heart inside, who dare not even kill fish. Not sure, is it, Mary?"

"Ah... uh..."

Faced with Xia Li's questioning, Mary was speechless for a moment—she really couldn't deny that she was murderous...

Even Aselika had a weird expression when she spoke to Xia Li. You said that such a fierce and tall and strong man has a slender girlish heart... How awkward is it?

"So Mary..."

However, Xia Li stood up on her own.

"Can we go and see your work now?"

"Now?"

It has to be said that Charlie's answer was beyond Mary's expectation, and she realized that her friend was still so strong—well, I can't say that she found out, ever since Charlie cried in Antarctica. When she shouted that she was going to kill herself and be with her forever, Mary found that some aspects of her friend were quite extreme.

Fortunately, Xia Li has lost her memory of that time, otherwise Mary would not know how she would face herself after waking up.

After all, in Mary's opinion, Xia Li was the real model of a rich young lady... But since that incident, how should I put it... Mary feels that this friend of hers is really a bit... With admiration.

in various senses.

"Is there any inconvenience?"

"No, but your afternoon class..."

"I can ask for leave."

Xia Li said indifferently, and Aselika was stunned for a moment, then looked at her as if she knew Xia Li again, and then nodded.

"Ah Xie can also ask for leave."

"All right."

Now that the words have been said, Mary can only nod helplessly.

"Then come with me."

After leaving the restaurant, the girl and her party took the subway to Queens, and then Xia Li and Aselika followed Mary to Duan Muhuai's house in Wudu. Then...they saw Mary reach out, take a key from her pocket, and open the door.

Seeing this scene, Xia Li and Aselika's eyes straightened.

Mary actually took them to a man's house, and she even had his key!

Could it be that they have already lived together, right?

Of course, Mary didn't know what her friend was thinking, she opened the door and walked in, and at this moment the maid also walked out to the door.

"You are back, Miss Mary."

The maid is Duanmu Huai's agent in this world, responsible for dealing with most of the world's problems. Of course, because of the spread of the weapons of the Inquisition, the investigators are more and more eager to die, so that most of them Duanmu Huai didn't need to do anything at all, he just needs to continue to open a shop to attract customers, and then wait for those investigators to die.

Hearing this, Xia Li and Aselika even exchanged glances. What the maid said was not about welcome, but about you coming back, that is to say...

"Mary, you don't live here...with that gentleman, do you?"

Xia Li looked at Mary cautiously, not knowing whether to say it or not, even Ashelika dared not speak. After all, in this world, in their country, the mainstream ethos of women is still very conservative. Although Aselika is engaged to Howard and has a fiancé, the intimacy between the two parties is limited to kissing on dates.

For an unmarried girl like Mary to live with a man, this is already as immoral as being pregnant before marriage!

"Who are these two?"

The maid looked at the two people standing behind Mary, and asked suspiciously, but Mary also hesitated.

"They are my friends, and they want to go with me to see...the situation over there."

Speaking of this, Mary quickly added.

"Mr. Duanmu has agreed."

"no problem."

The maid nodded, then turned to get out of the way.

"Please come in."

The two walked into the room under Mary's leadership. Faced with this unexpected situation, Xia Li and Ashielika were obviously a little nervous.

"What the hell is going on? Mary? Didn't you say you wanted to show us where you work?"

Charlie looked around anxiously.

"But here...is that gentleman's home?"

"Uh...you can say yes or no, but come with me..."

As she spoke, Mary walked up the stairs, and her two friends followed suit.

At this time, the hearts of the two began to beat violently. Xia Li stared at the figure of her friend, always feeling bad. Why is Mary here? Will she fall in love with that man and live with him here? So what is her job? As an aristocratic lady, Xia Li certainly knows a lot of the dirty secrets of the upper-class society. Some high-ranking officials and nobles will keep their lovers and make them the playthings of their desires. This was no secret to Xia Li.

But your friends will also be one of them? She gave up her dignity and wisdom, and became a plaything for men to tease?

Xia Li couldn't believe it, but no matter how she looked at it, the possibility was very high. She stared at Mary's back, and even that chaotic fantasy appeared in her mind.

"..."

For some reason, Xia Li suddenly felt a dry cough at this moment. She subconsciously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and forced herself to withdraw her gaze from staring at Mary. What happened to her? Mary was her childhood sweetheart, her best friend all the time, but she actually looked at her close friend in this way?

And... even made Xia Li feel a little excited?

"??"

Mary trembled, she didn't know why, she suddenly felt a little uneasy, maybe it was because of nervousness?

Mary thought for a moment, then stopped thinking about this question. She came to a room on the second floor, then took out the key again, opened the door, and walked in with Charlie and Aselika.

This looks like an ordinary bedroom. From the outside, there is nothing special about it. Aselika looked around curiously, while Xia Li was in a trance. This is just a bedroom, but what did Mary bring them here mean? Could it be that she has become that man's slave, and now she wants to push her friend into the fire pit? Did she want herself and Aselika to be that man's guest of honor?

Thinking of this, Xia Li suddenly felt her heart start beating violently. It was not because of fear, but because of nervousness, because when she thought that she might be able to share the bed with Mary, she suddenly had a special feeling. expectations.

But it is a pity that what happened next was not what Charlie thought. Mary just took out a key again and opened another door——the door was located on the side of the wall, and it looked like The door to the balcony, and just like that Mary opened it in front of them both, beckoning them forward.

"go in."

"Go in??"

Looking at the door in front of them, Xia Li and Aselika looked at each other with some doubts. They didn't know what Mary asked them to do on the balcony, but they still obeyed Mary's words and walked through the door.

And the next moment, what they saw in front of them stunned the two of them.
