Guidebook for the Dark Duke

    Evan finally went downstairs, he didn't want his happy mood to be ruined by an unimportant person.

      The food you like, and then dine at the table.

    Evan didn't see Duke Wilson. He thought about the sound from Duke Wilson's room before he went downstairs, and guessed that he should be dealing with the manor.

    Evan took salmon and butter bread, and when he returned to the table, he found that things were a little more subtle, next to where he should be sitting, there was a woman flirting with another man , the hooking eyes and the ambiguous fan language made Evan a bit in a dilemma for a while.

    At this time, a gentleman opposite solved Evan's dilemma.

    "Pastor, come and sit here, there are seats available."

    Evan looked over and spoke to an elegant middle-aged gentleman with an ordinary appearance, but his aura was extraordinary. Evan remembered the address of the people around him at the welcome ball before, gentle nodded: "Thank you, Lord Count."

    The Earl Martin smiled and nodded, looking at Evan with a special meaning.

    Evan didn't notice the difference, he strode to the earl's side and sat down, because there was something in his heart, so his appetite was not very good, the things on the plate were only Halfway through the meal, he stood up.

    Count Martin grabbed his arm when he saw this, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Reverend, why don't you finish your meal?"

    Evan's movements were slightly stagnant, and he glanced at Count Martin strangely. His expression that had not been able to conceal was just stared at by Evan, and Evan's heart suddenly Feeling a little nauseous, he was about to shake his hand, but saw the Duke who was going down the stairs, and he immediately changed his plan.

    "Mr. Earl." His smile was polite and gentle: "I have a bad appetite, please forgive me."

    Although Evan said so, but the earl still held his wrist, his eyes were full of ambition: "Oh, my dear Mr. Pastor." He rubbed it ambiguous. Evan's wrist, Evan could not wait to buckle the plate directly on top of his half-bald head.

    "You are so thin, you still need to eat more, or do you…"

    "No need!" Before the earl could finish his words, suddenly the duke's cold voice came from the stairs.

    He strode up to Count Martin, and regardless of the surprised expressions of the people around him, he pulled Count Martin's hand away from Evan, pulled Evan's arm, and quickly disappeared in front of everyone.

    Count Martin was stunned to see this scene, but he was a little uneasy in his heart. Could it be that this handsome priest is the prince's ban, didn't he make a huge mistake today.

    Evan was dragged by the duke and walked out of the living room, passed through the gate, walked directly towards the courtyard, and went all the way to the lake, before the duke let go of his arm.

    Duke Wilson looked a little angry, he looked at Evan, his eyes were a little red with anger, and his eyes were full of sternness: "How can you associate with that kind of person! He dares to touch you hand!"

    Evan looked at Duke Wilson inexplicably: "Lord Duke, what's the matter with you? Is there something wrong with Mr. Earl?"

    Evan's completely confused appearance made Duke Wilson's anger somewhat unable to vent, he gritted his teeth, looked at his handsome and holy face, and suddenly had some evil thoughts in his heart, If only this person belonged to him forever, he could only see himself, he could only talk to himself, he could only laugh at himself, there would never be people like Arya and Count Martin, only the two of them. indivual.

      frightened.

    Duke Wilson turned away panting, he couldn't stay in this place, or he didn't know what he was going to do.

    "Martin... Earl Martin has special hobbies. You are a decent person, don't be fooled by him." Duke Wilson said in a somewhat unstable tone.

    Evan was stunned for a while, he was frightened by the look the duke had just looked at him, what a terrible look it was, like a cheetah looking at its prey , with a unique possessiveness and madness that made him almost want to run away.

    But the Duke misunderstood Evan's silence. He thought that Evan was frightened by such unethical things. believer.

    But obviously... the person he likes is a woman.

    "Okay, that's it, please pay attention next time." The duke threw this sentence down with some guilty conscience, and ran away.

    Looking at the back of the duke leaving in a hurry, Evan was speechless. Speaking of which, what happened? He just wanted to test the duke, but he didn't expect that the development of the matter was out of his own control. Does the duke's appearance mean that he already has a lot of feelings for himself? It's just that the duke looks like this , I'm afraid he didn't find it himself.

    Evan has a meaningful smile in his eyes, very good, although it is faster than he expected, but it is better than nothing, so it seems that his plan will be adjusted. , Evan's mind suddenly had an idea.

      He didn't realize that he only received more attention than this in his last life. He walked upstairs with his head held high, and there was no hesitation in his expression, just like a truly open-hearted gentleman who did not hide anything.

    For a moment, the eyes around him hesitated.

    Evan sneered in his heart, in this era, the relationship between him and the duke must never be seen, otherwise he will be the only one who will die.

    Evan went upstairs, but did not go back to his room, but went to Mr. Johnson's room, he knocked on the door politely, but no one answered after a long time.

    "Please, please come in." Mr. Johnson's voice was short.

    Evan frowned, pushed the door and walked in. When he entered, Mr. Johnson was sitting awkwardly at the table, while the beautiful young man Rael was a little impatient. Sitting on the sofa, watching him come in didn't show any expression.

    Evan just pretended not to see him, smiled and nodded at Mr. Johnson: "I heard you want to see me, I don't know why?"

    Mr. Johnson glanced at Rael in a panic, and smiled awkwardly: "Yes...it's about the church land."

    Reel probably received a hint from Mr. Johnson and stood up slowly: "Since you want to talk about things, then I will leave first."

     After speaking, I ignored the reaction of the two of them, turned and left the room.

    Seeing Evan frowning, Mr. Johnson smiled a little embarrassedly: "I'm really sorry, I made you laugh, Rael has just been trained as a secretary, not very Perfect."

    Evan thought to himself that this is not perfect, this is simply no professionalism, if such a person can become a secretary, then all the bosses in this world will be mad.

    "You don't have to be sorry, let's talk about business first." Evan's tone was very cold.

    With a secretary who doesn't respect people, Mr. Johnson's life is not easy.

    Mr. Johnson was relieved to see that Evan had not pursued it, and began to talk about the church land.

    In the beginning, what he said was normal. He briefly talked about the profit and profit of the church's land, but as he went on, Evan felt that something was wrong.

    He began to throw out a large number of terms, as if to completely stun Evan, and kept encouraging Evan to sell part of the land of the church, what kind of duke would Building a textile factory in the suburbs will pollute the land and make the land unproductive, or because of some legal issue, the church will lose its ownership of the land in a few years, and it will be worthless. , etc. excuses.

    Evan was a little dizzy at first, but as he got to the back, Evan's thinking became clearer.

    It was true that the duke wanted to build a textile factory, and the duke had mentioned it to him before, but if he remembered correctly, the duke built the factory north of Derain, and The land of the church is to the south of Derainlier, and even a fool knows how far apart these two places are.

    As for the ownership of the land, even if it is as Mr. Johnson said, the church will lose its ownership after many years, but at that time, I was afraid that Evan's bones would turn into ashes, and I was a little worried about this issue. Too early.

    These things are actually mentioned by Mr. Johnson, but they are only fleetingly passing by, and more of it is his opinion that he encouraged Evan to sell the land.

    "Pastor Bruce, please listen to me, the price of land at this time is probably the best price, and you can't find a better time to earn more for the church The money is gone, this is the best choice for the entire church and you, of course, this is only my personal opinion, and you still need to make a decision on this matter." Mr. Johnson was different from the embarrassed appearance before. , completely turned into a well-spoken lawyer, and then he looked at Evan with a very confident look, as if he would agree with what he said in the next instant.

    Evan looked at Mr. Johnson and sneered, thanks to the fact that he had guessed that the poor old church calculated the church's money. At this time, he finally understood that the man who misappropriated church property , The person who coaxed Pastor Ross is the personable Mr. Johnson in front of him.

    He really doesn't know who this gentleman thinks he is? The honest and opinionated Pastor Ross? Really interesting.

    Evan stood up slowly, ignoring the expectation on Mr. Johnson's face, and said coldly: "Please don't repeat this kind of thing again, you won't want to hear it my answer."

    Mr. Johnson's expression changed instantly, first in disbelief, then in panic, he hurriedly stood up, and wanted to say more.

    Evan said again: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, the person sent by the church to check the accounts will arrive soon, please prepare first."

    This sentence completely stopped Mr. Johnson's further actions. If there is any word to describe his expression, that word must be called despair.
