Chapter 311: Chapter 38: The Work That Opens the Curtain of an Era Chapter 311: Chapter 38: The Work That Opens the Curtain of an Era “Hey, ladies, what are you talking about?” With Adrian’s voice, the two women instantly stopped their conversation and looked over at him. Julia was tall and Monica was curvy; standing together they were quite the sight, each with their own distinctive beauty.

“Nothing much, just some stuff about life,” Julia was quick to answer. “What about you, Ed? Why didn’t you chat more with the pop queen? She must love talking with you.”

“That’s true, she just invited me for a private chat,” Adrian said with a smile, “but I turned her down.”

“Really?” Julia looked surprised, and so did Monica, though her reaction was more subdued.

“Because you are here.” Adrian spread his hands wide, and though he didn’t finish his sentence, the implication was clear: with you here, why bother mixing with that woman?

It was another reason altogether; with Julia and Monica in front of him, this was an excellent opportunity. How could Adrian possibly miss out on it for something minor? After all, Madonna was just a mature woman with a preserved charm. If he wanted to play, he could find a chance to have a thorough and satisfying time with her later. Why bother flirting with her here?

“I just checked the time, maybe we should head back, Ed?” Julia suddenly suggested.

“Now?” Adrian raised his eyebrows instinctively and glanced at Monica, “Are you sure, Julia?”

“Yes, there’s nothing else going on here anyway.” Julia shrugged her shoulders and also glanced at Monica, then smiled: “Oh, and thank you for buying those earrings. I really like them.”

Adrian couldn’t help but chuckle to himself. Though she had said it was “just some stuff about life,” he had been observing them for a while before he approached. Julia’s show-off attitude was clear to see.

“If we go back now, the little ones might not be asleep yet, and it could be…” He showed an expression of ‘difficulty’.

“The little ones?” Monica seized the opportunity to jump in.

“Do you remember the little girl I told you about, Emma Watson? And Julia’s niece, Emma Roberts…” Adrian immediately explained to her, and Julia had no choice but to stand aside and wait.

“It sounds like they might be a bit too lively, such kids can be very clingy.” Monica nodded in understanding of Adrian’s predicament after listening, but then she smiled slightly with an enigmatic twinkle in her eye: “Why not come over to my place first? We can have a chat, and when we’re sure they’ve gone to bed, you can go back.”
