America 1881: Legend of the West

Harriman finished the steak alone and served himself a bowl of seafood soup.

When he cut a piece of baguette and threw it into the soup, Eva finally came back.

"What took you so long?" Harriman pressed down the hard baguette with his fork.

"I touched up my makeup," Eva said.

A few minutes later, Rockefeller Jr. came back.

He sat back down in his seat.

"Mr. Rockefeller, I don't know what your father's attitude is towards Northern Securities' antitrust lawsuit."

Harriman finally remembered that he had something else to do and asked.

"Well, I should support Mr. Morgan." Rockefeller replied absently.

His eyes kept glancing towards Eva, and the woman also changed her previous indifference, and her expressions were affectionate.

Harriman was unaware of the flirting between his lover and the younger Rockefeller.

"Then I'm relieved. I've always felt that your family has been too reserved on this matter." He poked the piece of baguette with his fork, "After all, if Northern Securities really loses the lawsuit, it will be a Extremely bad start."

During the rest of the meal, there was no more interaction between the three people.

After the dinner, Eva resumed her correspondence with Rockefeller Jr.

Rockefeller Jr. began to find various reasons to go to Northern Securities Company to meet with Harriman.

Even the front desk of the Flatiron Building was familiar with the eldest son of the Rockefeller family, and in the end they didn't even bother to stop him.

This made Harriman murmur.

Showing courtesy for nothing is either cheating or stealing.

But Morgan didn't give him, the vice president, much time to think about this issue.

The antitrust lawsuit against Northern Securities intensified, and Harriman had to go to circuit court to face federal prosecutors.

After little Rockefeller got the news, he almost fainted with joy.

He appeared in the Flatiron Building more and more frequently, exchanging heart-to-hearts with Eva, and even Harriman's office became a place for the two to have trysts.

Little Rockefeller has completely fallen into the gentle land and cannot extricate himself.

But the good times didn't last long. Within a few days, Eva once again shut out the young Rockefeller on the grounds that Harriman was about to return.

The eldest young master is almost going crazy if he can't see Eva for a day now, let alone the sudden switch.

"Eva, don't do this to me. I think you can't breathe."

Young Rockefeller begged bitterly into the microphone.

"Dear, I miss you too, but you have to be considerate of me. I don't want to lose my job. Harriman is coming back soon. I'll tell you later."

Eva's voice came from the other end of the phone line, and she was about to hang up.

"Don't, don't, don't hang up!" Little Rockefeller grabbed the microphone tightly, "What's the point of your current job? Just resign!"

Eva on the other end of the phone line smiled coldly:

"Haha, distinguished young master, I am no better than you who were born with a golden key in your mouth. What will I eat if I resign?"

"I'll support you!" Little Rockefeller blurted out.

"Raise me? Do you think of me as a canary?" Eva still sneered.

"I'm not joking when I say I marry you! It's my father's birthday in three days, and I will take you to meet my family then!" Rockefeller said solemnly.

A smile finally appeared on Eva's face, but little Rockefeller couldn't see it on the other end of the phone line.

Three days later, when Harriman returned to the Flatiron Building, he discovered that Eva was not in the office.

He opened the door, walked into his office, and saw a leave request note on his desk:

Dear Mr. Harriman, I have something to do today, so I ask your permission to give me a day off.

Signed Eva.

Harriman took the note and looked over it, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"The Honorable Mr. Harriman"? Why does this title sound so distant?

"Asking for your permission"? But why did Eva already tacitly agree that she would take a vacation before she approved the leave note?

Harriman's anger boiled over him.

He crumpled the leave note into a ball of paper and threw it on the ground, then picked up the phone and tried to call Eva's apartment.

But after thinking for a while, Harriman put down the receiver and microphone respectively.

There's no way Eva is sleeping in the apartment at this time.

It's better to wait until she comes back to explain herself.

However, Harriman miscalculated.

When he was sulking over the leave note, Eva was actually in his apartment.

She put on the purple dress she had taken from Chen Jianqiu's "City Beauty" and put on a platinum necklace set with a huge sapphire.

She took out a pair of pearl necklaces from the dresser drawer and hung them carefully on her earlobes.

A stunning beauty appeared in the full-length mirror next to the dressing table.

Eva looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt a little strange.

She sighed.

Eva glanced down at the dresser drawer.

She suddenly saw the pistol Chen Jianqiu gave her lying quietly in the corner of the drawer.

Eva took out the gun.

She held it in her hand and played with it, lost in thought.

"Drip!"

A blast of horns came in from the window, pulling Eva out of her thoughts.

She knew that there was a high probability that Rockefeller Jr.'s car had arrived.

Eva put the pistol back into the drawer, pushed the drawer closed, picked up the handbag on the table, and walked out the door.

Little Rockefeller, who was waiting on the first floor, was stunned when he saw Eva, dressed in purple, coming up the stairs.

He didn't react until Eva walked in front of him.

"You, you are so beautiful!" Little Rockefeller admired sincerely.

"Thank you, dear." Eva smiled.

Sitting in the driving seat was Rockefeller Jr.'s chauffeur.

Ever since he was sent by the elder Rockefeller to serve as the driver and eye liner for the younger Rockefeller, the driver basically had not taken on the task of a driver, even if the eldest young master was extremely drunk.

However, this time, he took on the task of driving for the first time.

The reason was because little Rockefeller wanted to sit in the back row and be intimate with Eva.

The driver was pleased.

Finally, in his lifetime, he was able to see young Rockefeller take the initiative to wish his father a birthday.

Rockefeller Sr.'s birthday celebration was held at his mansion in the suburbs of New York.

Compared with other rich people, his birthday celebration was very low-key, with only a few relatives and friends in attendance.

It is said that the elder Rockefeller preferred to commemorate the day he got his first job as an annual anniversary rather than his birthday.

Little Rockefeller took Eva's hand and walked into the huge backyard of the mansion.

There, a birthday party for the old man had been arranged, and many relatives and friends had already arrived.

They were not very surprised to see Eva.

It is not unusual for one or two beauties to appear next to little Rockefeller.

In their opinion, the person in front of them is just the young master's new "toy".

On the contrary, everyone was a little surprised that the eldest young master could appear in the old Rockefeller's mansion so early.

You know, the old man has not seen his eldest son for a long time. It is said that the relationship between the two is somewhat subtle.

Rockefeller Jr. didn't seem to know what these people were thinking.

With Eva by his side, he felt extremely confident and walked among the crowd with his head held high.

Finally, under the largest tree in the courtyard, little Rockefeller finally met the first person he wanted to see.

his mother.
