BXBX NOVEL Chapter 88 - Competing for Favor
Chapter 88: Competing for Favor
“Miss Torres, why does this thing look like this?”
“Ah, this thing can fly!”
“This man has muscles!”
The police officers who were in the same room with them went from being shocked at first to being suspicious, and finally to being indifferent.
Forget it, there was something wrong with everyone.
The afternoon passed quickly in the atmosphere of a horror movie. Ben was no longer afraid when he saw ordinary ghosts now, he could even start commenting on them.
It was already six o’clock in the afternoon when the two of them left the police station.
The police officer who sent the two of them out was traumatized by Ben’s screams the entire afternoon. There was only peace in his heart now.
“I’m very happy to have your help today. Don’t come again next time.”
Both Lauren and Ben were silent.
“I’m just kidding. This little girl is so cute, so she can come. I’ll prepare candy for you when the time comes. But as for you…” The police officer turned to Ben and said, “You really don’t have to come.”
On the way back, Lauren was sparing no effort to mock Ben.
“Hahaha, Mr. Carson, you’re being despised!”
“Miss Torres, stop laughing. I used to be scared but I’m not scared anymore. If you don’t believe me, look at the one wearing a white dress by the roadside. Is she a ghost? But why do female ghosts like to wear white dresses?”
Lauren looked in the direction Ben had pointed. There were thousands of ghosts and there was nothing to be curious about. But with a glance, Lauren was stunned.
What a familiar-looking ghost. In the surveillance footage that afternoon, Lauren had seen this female ghost several times!
Without alerting anyone, Lauren quietly rolled down the car window and took out a red talisman. She chanted an incantation at the female ghost and the red talisman gradually became transparent.
Lauren rolled up the car window in satisfaction.
When she returned to the Torres residence, Franklin was waiting for her to start dinner.
“Miss Torres is back. It’s time to eat.”
Mr. Hayes happily went to the kitchen to prepare the dishes while humming a song. The maid also brought Lauren some water. All of a sudden, the entire room was revolving around Lauren.
After washing her hands, Lauren came to the dining table. The dishes were already arranged on the table.
“Let’s eat! I have been working all day. I’m starving!”
Lauren sat in her usual seat and waited for everyone to arrive before she started eating.
Franklin sat opposite Lauren and shouted at the curtains, “Quinn, come and eat! Didn’t you say you were hungry?”
Quinn silently poked his head out from behind the curtains.
Lauren was silent.
“I’m not eating! I’m too hungry! You guys didn’t let me eat when I wanted to, so I’m not eating anymore!” After saying that, he retracted his head.
“What happened to him?” Lauren asked in a low voice, afraid that she would disturb this “mental patient”.
Franklin picked up a piece of beef and gave it to Lauren. “He’s playing with his newly bought luminous watch.”
Mr. Hayes also sat down to eat. When he heard what Franklin said, he laughed out loud.
“Master Franklin is getting better at making jokes. As for Master Quinn, he is angry. He said he wanted to eat a long time ago, but I told him to wait for you to come back before eating. Look, he’s angry now!”
Mr. Hayes and Franklin took turns to put the dishes into Lauren’s bowl till it formed a small pile.
“The beef cooked by the chef today is really fragrant! And it’s also very tender!”
“Yeah, the soup is also very delicious today. Master Quinn, are you sure you don’t want to come over?”
Quinn, who had been working the whole day, could not resist the temptation and sat beside Mr. Hayes.
Lauren saw that the latest newly-released luminous watch was indeed on Quinn’s wrist.
So he was really looking at his watch just now. As expected, a man was forever a teenager until he died.
“Did anything interesting happen today? Tell me about it?” Mr. Hayes asked.
Lauren replied, “Mr. Carson was ridiculed by the police today!”
Quinn said, “A fan chased after me for nine streets today, just to get my autograph!”
The two of them scrambled to answer as if they were competing for favor.
“What about you, Master Franklin?”
Franklin was stunned for a moment. “I earned 80 million today.”
Everyone was surprised by his reply.
‘You’re the best! The most interesting thing is earning money!’
Dinner passed in a rather cheerful atmosphere. If one ignored the fact that Lauren and Quinn were secretly at loggerheads with each other.
After dinner, Lauren did not stay any longer. Instead, she announced that she had something important to do, and immediately returned to her room.
Just as she opened her room door, Lauren was stunned.
The room was pink in color! The bed was filled with dolls, and there were many things that Lauren had never seen before.
The wardrobe was also open. Inside was a neat pile of clothes and dresses. At the bottom of the wardrobe were a lot of new shoes. Many of the clothes had already been matched.
Lauren could not wait, she put on one of the sets and looked at herself in front of the mirror.
