Chapter 263 Gathering Information
“Of course, I would be happy to,” Antone said with deference as he took the cigarette and gestured to Boris to follow him. “It is my pleasure.”
The hotel had every facility imaginable, including a coffee shop.
The coffee shop was on the fifth floor, and as soon as they stepped out of the elevator, they could see a rockery shrouded in
mist.
Passing by the rockery, they saw that the rooms in front of them were all made of wood. A waitress led the way and quickly led
them into a room.
“Mr. Lewis, we have a performance here.” Antone asked thoughtfully, “Would you like someone to play the violin?”
“No need,” Boris declined politely. “I prefer peace and quiet.”
Antone was very good at reading between the lines and quickly waved his hand at the female ser vant who was preparing to make coffee and signed her to leave.
After washing his hands, Antone began making coffee. “What kind of coffee would you like, Mr. Lewis?”
“Kopi Luwak ”
“Oh!” Antone exclaimed in surprise. “Mr. Lewis also likes Kopi Luwak?”
“Is there anyone else who likes it?” Boris asked knowingly.
“Miss Scott also likes it!” Antone’s face was full of kindness at the mention of Ziana.
As if praising his own child, Antone said proudly and dotingly, “Miss Scott likes to drink Kopi Luwak the most, especially the Kopi Luwak made by me because I have my own unique tricks.”
“Miss Scott praised me as the best coffee maker on the island! It’s not easy to get Miss Scott’s praise on this island!”
“Really? It seems that I’m in luck.” Boris was trying to steer the conversation towards Ziana, but to his surprise, Antone brought her up himself.
Boris rested his chin on the one hand, leaned against the table, and put the other hand on his lap, casually asking, “Has Miss Scott ever had your coffee?”
“Of course!” Antone said proudly, “Mr. Lewis, I’m not boasting, but Miss Scott has been drinking my coffee for at least ten
years.”
Boris had figured out Antone’s character by now, so he pretended to scrutinize him with a furrowed brow. “Ten years? I have no idea that you’ve been working for the Scott family for that long, but you look quite young.”
Antone was almost fifty years old this year, but when Boris praised him for his youth, he couldn’t help but smile broadly. “I’ve been working for the Scott family for twenty-two years. I came here as soon as I graduated. At that time, the island hadn’t been developed yet, and even Miss Scott hadn’t been born!”
“I really couldn’t tell.” Boris shook his head. “If you hadn’t told me, I would have thought that you were only in your thirties. You just said that you watched Miss Scott grow up. I really couldn’t believe it.”
“Hahaha.” Antone genuinely liked Ziana, and his expression was very sincere. “I was there when she was born. She was the
first daughter of the Scott family, and everyone was thrilled. They all lined up to see Miss Scott.”
Boris smiled, and the scene seemed to appear in front of him. “Is she shy?” Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“No, Miss Scott isn’t shy at all.” Antone said, “She is a fair and tender little girl, really adorable. She will smile at anyone, and
she has a good temper. That’s the first time I’ve seen Miss Scott. When I see her again, she’s already five years old.”
“Oh? Where have you been in those five years?” Boris took the opportunity to ask.
“It’s normal for the Scott Company to mobilize personnel. I majored in garden design. During the years of the booming real estate industry, many of the gardens in the Scott family’s properties were designed by me,” said Antone with a confident tone due to his talent. “When I saw Miss Scott again, she became perfect but busier.”
“Why would a five-year-old girl be busy?” Boris frowned.
A man should pamper his daughter.
However, since his son would be the successor of his career, he must let him rise up at the age of three.
But if they had another daughter, that girl could still be pampered at the age of five.
What was the point of being so strict with their baby girl?
Only boys should be asked with high standards.
“Miss Scott is a rare genius!” Antone raised his voice and said excitedly, “She has exceptional intelligence, learns fast, and likes learning. If she is not allowed to learn, she becomes unhappy, so her family has to listen to her. She spends all day learning. She gets up at five o’clock in the morning and goes to bed at nine o’clock in the evening at a young age. When she is sleepy during the day, she will come to me to ask for coffee.”
“Then you must have a deep relationship with Miss Scott.”
“Of course, Miss Scott has a good relationship with everyone on the island. We all like her,” Speaking of this, Antone was quite regretful. “Unfortunately, I was transferred from the Scott family when she was twelve years old. The Scott family sent me to study hotel management for better development, From then on, I only have a chance to see Miss Scott at the end of the year.”
“However, three years ago, Miss Scott was no longer on the island. It was said that she went on a world trip, and that was the first time she had gone on a long trip. Who would have thought that she would go out for three years and come back half a year ago?”
Antone sighed, “Miss Scott has grown up and has her own pursuit. Now she is participating in a show, and it looks like she wants to enter the entertainment industry. In the future, she may come back less and less.”
The world trip Antone mentioned was, in fact, the three years Ziana had been married to Boris.
It seemed that Antone knew little about Ziana since he was transferred out of the Scott family.
Boris wanted to know what happened when Ziana was sixteen years old. He thought that he could get something out of Antone, but he failed.
But it seemed that he had gained something.
At least he knew part of her past.
“Mr. Lewis.” Antone said with continuous sighs as he handed over a cup of coffee, “Have a taste.”
Boris took a sip and showed his appreciation, “It does taste great. I want to learn from you. Would you like to teach me?”
“Thank you for your compliment,” Antone said with a smile, “If Mr. Lewis wants to learn, it’s my honor to teach you.”
Boris had never learned to do these trivial things before because there were many people who did it for him.
But if he wanted to learn, it would be easy for him.
After Antone explained the key points, Boris tried making it for the first time, but the water temperature was not controlled properly, so the taste was slightly off. However, the second time it was perfect.
“Mr. Lewis, you are very talented.” Antone praised generously, “If you ever want coffee, just use this method.”
“Okay.” Boris smiled, “I hope I will have a chance to do it again.”
For the first time in 27 years, he felt so happy about learning a simple skill.
“What chance?” Antone was confused.
If he wanted coffee, he could just make it himself. Why would he need a chance?
Boris shook his head without saying anything.
At this moment, Boris’ phone suddenly rang.
Someone called Boris.
He glanced at the screen and looked at Antone before answering the call.
Antone understood. “Mr. Lewis, then I leave first. Call me if you need anything.”
Boris nodded at him. After the door was closed, he pressed the answer button. “What’s wrong? Do you want to ask me about my illness again?”
“No, something happened. Sean pursued Miss Scott in Coupling Reality Show,” Biber said quickly.
They had been investigating Sean and suspected that Sean had something to do with Erkan, who had already died.
Not long ago, Boris had received a provocative email from Sean.
All of these events conveyed the same message that Sean had other purposes.
Boris spent over a year convincing everyone that Vivi was the woman he loved the most. He could not figure out why Sean would still target Ziana.
