Chapter 77 Claudia

Before leaving from Costa Mesa, Jester received a call from Adam Edgar.

The lady from England rejected Jester's proposal.

To be precise, it was rejected half of it.

She agreed to the proposal to have a supper together, but it could not be Jester, but she had to be, because this time she came to ask for cooperation.

Originally, Jester wanted Adam Edgar to use the friendship of landlords as an excuse to maintain a bad demeanor. After all, it was their home court in Los Angeles. It was obviously difficult to accept a young woman from England, a man of great men, in the eyes of Jester.

But after Adam Edgar saw that the young lady from the UK had easily booked the private room at Melissa's restaurant that she needed to book a week in advance, she immediately closed her mouth obediently.

Melissa’s private room cannot be booked with money. You should know that there are only two private rooms in the entire Melissa restaurant.

This restaurant is one of the only four Michelin two-star restaurants in the entire Los Angeles metropolitan area. It is a restaurant mainly based on French cuisine. The taste cannot be described as authentic. As for the other three, Jester has never been to the famous Urasawa, which has a seafood flavor and a style that is compatible with the advantages of Meiya cuisine, and a spago that mainly focuses on California cuisine.

Compared to Chinese food, to be honest, each has its own strengths, and no one can say that anyone can beat the other.

What? You say three Michelin stars? Haha, in Los Angeles, as far as Jester knows, no one has won this honor yet. There is a Michelin player, but it is not in Los Angeles.

When Adam Edgar asked the British lady a little curiously how she had booked one of Melissa’s two private rooms, the young woman from England just said in a very plain tone: “This is one of our family’s industries.”

Then Adam Edgar looked at the woman with admiration.

This restaurant is not in downtown Los Angeles, but in Santa Monica, which is known as the most beautiful beach in the West. It takes less than an hour to drive from Costa Mesa.

The name Melissa comes from an inconspicuous spice of Mediterranean specialty, and this restaurant is also quite inconspicuous. Jester walked around Wilshere Road twice before seeing the black and white sign of Melissa's restaurant. There is a parking space next to the restaurant. This restaurant does not have a special parking staff, so everything is at will.

But there was a polite black waiter standing at the door, very much like Morgan Freeman.

Seeing Jester coming, he bowed slightly, and at the same time stretched out his hand and made a call. Although the whole process was extremely simple, it gave Jester a feeling of flowing water on the black waiter. So Jester nodded slightly to show his gratitude.

The decoration of Melissa's restaurant is not luxurious, this is the first impression of Jester.

If the style of Providence he has been to now is simple, then Melissa's decoration style is simple and elegant, which makes people involuntarily feel comfortable. The decoration color of the entire restaurant is mainly pure white and light purple, which not only adds a little mystery, but also highlights the style of this restaurant and the low-key in the downtown area.

The waiters in the restaurant were all wearing straight suits, almost meticulous.

Jest had just stepped into the restaurant and a young woman in a delicate Givenchy professional at the bar also looked at him.

Jester glanced at the woman. She was a very beautiful woman with brown hair tied behind her head, green eyes were like a piece of crystal, fair skin, slightly pink, and her nose was not as tall as traditional white people.

The moment she saw Jester, she showed a bright smile on her face and raised her feet to Jester.

With Jester's eyes, it can be seen that the young woman has received strict etiquette training. Her smile, her footwork, and even the amplitude of her arm swing can be seen as if she had practiced countless times, and the distance of each step was as precise as if she had measured it with a ruler.

But it was also an intuition that made Jester feel that this woman was not the British noble lady who was going to treat him to dinner today, because the other person's smile was so enthusiastic that he didn't look like a noble at all. The information he learned from Adam Edgar before made his own judgment that this British noble lady would not be like this.

"Mr. Li." The beautiful woman bowed slightly in front of Jester, then stretched out her white palm to him, her voice was very crisp, "I am Miss Claudia's assistant Alisa. Miss Claudia is waiting for you in Augustine's room, please follow me."

Jacett shook hands with the assistant who called herself Alyssa, and then followed her toward the interior of the restaurant.

After about a minute of walking, Alisa stopped in front of a white wooden door with purple borders.

She stretched out her palm and knocked on the door gently, and then a somewhat lazy voice came from the room.

"Come in."

When he pushed the door open, Jester saw a blonde woman standing up and wearing a lilac long dress. She was very beautiful, with simple light makeup and her blonde hair was freely scattered behind her head. This was the first impression Jester had when she saw this woman. Moreover, her body was very "clean", and Jester did not find any kind of jewelry on her body.

There were no earrings, no necklaces, or even no headdresses, but despite this, just standing there and showing elegance made people involuntarily feel that it seemed to be looking at a delicate photo. Moreover, Jester actually felt from her a temperament that those jewel-like women at the banquets he had attended before.

A kind of nobleness, this kind of nobleness is not the kind of nouveau riche aggressiveness, but a kind of temperament that naturally reveals.

He could not express this temperament in detail, but he could feel it.

Jester also believed that his feelings would not deceive him.

She is tall, fair skin, delicate facial features, blue eyes, and a low nose. The most important thing is that her skin is very delicate, not as rough as an ordinary white woman. The corners of her mouth are slightly raised, as if she is smiling, but in fact she is indeed a smile.

She was wearing a pair of bright purple high heels on her feet and walked towards Jester in a demeanor.

Because the ground was covered with cashmere carpets, even if the other party was wearing high heels, there was no sound.

"Claudia Robert."

She stopped in front of Jester, stretched out her slender and fair palm, and said her name in an extremely plain tone.

Jester looked at the smile on her face, but frowned, but in an instant he returned to normal. Jester felt an indescribable strange feeling in the smile of the beautiful woman in front of him. Her smile looked gentle and indifferent, but it made Jester feel no sense of intimacy, but instead felt a kind of indifference that was blocking people from thousands of miles away.

It seems that her smile is just a mechanized reaction, not a real reaction to her emotions. Her smile is not to narrow the distance between the two parties, but just a kind of etiquette.

Claudia Robert waved slightly, and her assistant Alisa nodded respectfully and left the room, while leaving, closed the door.

Jester stepped on the thick cashmere carpet and felt a warm and soft feeling.

"please!"

Claudia reached out to the dining table beside her and said lightly the word "please", and then she walked over first.

A polite waiter stood beside the table, and a candlestick was placed on the dining table. The trimmed candles looked a little swaying against the candlesticks.

As soon as Jester arrived at the dining table, the standing waiter gently pulled his seat away.

"What does Mr. Li drink?" Claudia's voice was very magnetic, and it was an authentic Oxford accent, with extremely standard pronunciation. The ups and downs made Jester sound like listening to Shakespeare's twelve-line poems.

"Whatever." Jester simply replied, "He has no food to drink."

"Two cups of Martini." Claudia ordered the waiter, who bowed politely, and then quietly left the room.

Jester and Claudia sat face to face, with each other calm expressions and their eyes kept wandering on Jester, as if they were looking at a product. They were staring at by a beauty for a long time, and Jester also felt a little uncomfortable.

"Ahem." So he coughed twice.

Unexpectedly, Claudia Robert just showed a plain smile and said without blinking: "I used to think how unique a person who could create this wealth in just two months would be. Unexpectedly, when I met today, I realized that Mr. Li was just an ordinary person."

"Haha." Jester smiled with a little self-deprecating smile and teased, "There are the majority of ordinary people in this world."

"But..." Claudia's beautiful eyes circulated, and her voice changed, and there was a hint of joy in her plain tone, and she said, "I like the game you made very much."

After hearing this, Jester first glanced at Claudia in front of him seriously, and then said in a somewhat unexpected tone, "To be honest, I originally thought that people with their identities like you would not be interested in these children's toys."

On the table next to Claudia, there was an ordinary Jenithus electronic pet machine. Obviously, before Jester came, this cool and elegant British nobleman was playing such a game machine designed specifically for young girls.

Claudia just smiled self-deprecatingly. She still looked at Jester, raised her black eyebrows, then held her hands on her chin, and said in a slightly sarcastic tone: "What do you think I should do? You should live a life of luxury without giving birth every day. You only need to learn horse riding, fencing, dancing, piano, violin, how to wear clothes to be appropriate, how to speak well, how to walk elegantly, and all kinds of other cumbersome, boring etiquette, and practice beautiful flower calligraphy?"

For a moment, Jester was a little speechless. In his subjective impression, it seemed that a British noble lady should indeed be like this.

Just as Jester was silent, Claudia's pupils suddenly showed a flash of injustice, "Mr. Li, you should know that according to British law, women do not have the right to inherit the title."

Jace nodded. He did know that unless it was specially approved by the king or the queen, women could not inherit hereditary titles in England. Similarly, fixed assets under the title could not be inherited. Even if the family's direct bloodline was only this woman, and Claudia's surname was Robert, Jester had never heard of the name of this family. Obviously, this family could not be specially approved by the king or the queen.

In Jester's impression, there were only a handful of families who could win this honor in British history. He knew that in the past hundred years, only the Mountbatten family had obtained it. This was because Lord Mountbatten's contribution to the British Empire was too great that he could win this honor.

"Do you want to hear my story?" Claudia glanced at Jester and said calmly.

Jester didn't say anything, just nodded.
