Chapter 17: Chapter 17 Prank
Lord Bute's London residence, Chelsea.
Chelsea, full name Kensington Chelsea, is a royal borough in Greater London.
Among the three traditional wealthy districts in London, Chelsea is more popular among some aristocrats.
Because here, there are a large number of historic Victorian buildings and noble British mansions - the famous royal residence Kensington Palace is located here.
Of course, correspondingly, the housing prices here are also very expensive, no less than Kensington where Barron lives at this time.
"Welcome, Lord Barron."
"It is an honor to receive your invitation, Mr. Boot."
After shaking hands with Viscount Bute, a flawless white hand stretched out in front of Barron. He took the hand and gently kissed it:
"Madam, your beauty can make the starry sky pale in comparison."
"Your praise is very refreshing, my Lord..."
Viscount Bute's wife Chris had a bright smile on her face. She looked at Barron's handsome face with her beautiful eyes, then pulled the equally beautiful girl next to her to her side and said to him,
"This is my cousin Bonnie. She and you are schoolmates."
"It's a great honor to meet you, Miss Bonnie..."
When Barron saw the Viscountess's cousin, he had to admit that she had a great figure. Not only was she tall, but she also had a beautiful appearance. He exclaimed,
"Your figure is really no less than those supermodels, and you look familiar. I seem to have seen you somewhere..."
"Thank you for your compliment, Your Excellency. Actually, I have worked as a print model before, and now I am a host at Sky TV. This may be why you feel that I look familiar."
…
The interior decoration and layout of Viscount Bute's residence are very modern, which is slightly different from his aristocratic status.
In addition, the dinner was also carefully prepared by the other party. It can be seen that the other party put a lot of thought into this invitation.
During the meal, Viscount Bute did not talk about the land near King's Cross Station. The atmosphere was relaxed and casual among the group.
The topic involved the "Golden Jubilee Celebrations" which had just been held, which is also the hottest topic in Britain recently. In addition, there was the World Cup and Michael Jackson's upcoming visit to London in a week.
Bonnie is two years older than Barron. They both graduated from University College London. She can be said to be his senior, but they chose different majors. Therefore, in Barron's previous life's memory, he had never seen her in school.
With such a connection, the two have many common topics and also talk about some interesting things in school.
In terms of appearance, Bonnie has some similarities with Viscountess Chris, but in comparison, Chris is more plump and has a mature temperament; while Bonnie is full of youthfulness and very enthusiastic.
As for their attire, Viscountess Chris wore a long dress, which was a more formal dress style; while her cousin Bonnie wore a business suit, with a more designer shirt underneath, which made the overall look not too solemn and added a bit of cuteness.
Especially the pair of long legs wrapped in gray stockings sticking out from under Bonnie's skirt, straight and slender, really attracted Barron's attention.
Of course, he couldn't lose his composure on the surface, but he would glance over there unnoticeably.
At the dining table, Bonnie sat on one side of Barron, while Viscount and Lady Bute sat opposite them.
Therefore, Viscount Bute and Chris on the opposite side might not have noticed Barron's slightly presumptuous gaze, but Bonnie beside him was unexpectedly perceptive.
As Barron and Viscount Bute were discussing England's prospects in the Asahi World Cup, Bonnie stood up slightly and moved her chair back a little - so that more of her legs were exposed outside the tablecloth.
"We tied with Sweden in the first game, and there are also Argentina and Nigeria in the group. It seems that our group of death is not optimistic. I really hope that the boys can create a miracle."
Participating in the discussion about the World Cup, while talking, Bonnie still sat upright, but put one leg on top of the other and lifted it up...
This action made her long legs even more eye-catching. However, this scene could only be seen by Barron who was sitting next to her. Because of the tablecloth and the dining table, Viscount and Viscount Bute opposite had no idea of her movements under the table.
Therefore, Barron's eyes were immediately attracted by Bonnie's long legs...
As he looked over, he also noticed the other person's gaze. He looked up and met Bonnie's eyes, only to see her blinking at him quickly.
This woman definitely did it on purpose!
Of course, this was just a small episode tonight, a little "prank" from Bonnie...
This also made Barron wonder for a moment whether the reputation of his predecessor, "Playboy", had become so widely known.
After dinner, Viscount Bute invited Barron to his study for tea.
He knew that the climax of the night was about to begin.
"Lord Barron, you should remember that the last time we met, I mentioned my intention to cooperate with your father."
"The land near King's Cross where the gas tanks are?"
"Yes, the location there is not bad. The only obstacle is those huge abandoned storage tanks..."
Viscount Bute picked up a cigar and handed it to Barron:
"You can try this, it's good stuff from Cuba."
Cigars were not unfamiliar to Barron in his previous life or his predecessor, so after receiving it, he skillfully picked up the cigar cutter, cut off the cigar cap, and patiently toasted it. Finally, he took a puff and felt the mellow aroma in his mouth...
At the same time, Viscount Bute said,
"Originally, I wanted to cooperate with you to develop that piece of land, but now, I know that you may have some difficulties in terms of funds, so I can give you another option, which is to buy that piece of land and develop it independently. In this way, Lord Barron, you can also recover some funds to solve the current difficulties."
"It seems like a good suggestion..."
Barron leaned back on the sofa, looked at Viscount Bute in front of him, and asked with interest:
"I wonder what price the Viscount can offer for that piece of land?"
"We asked a professional agency to value the land and finally determined the purchase price..."
Facing Barron's gaze, Viscount Bute said slowly:
"8 million pounds, in cash, payable immediately after the contract is signed."
