Like fooling around? Mary felt she had to correct him now. Lately the look of Jose's face looks serious, even lead to a cold attitude. Indeed, there is a funny on the way Jose responded to Nolan's “” ghost story. The man doesn't seem like he's making small talk or just pleasing other people. Anyway, what did he say just now? Jose needs Nolan's information? A description of what?
Jose looked at Nolan's face carefully. He did not doubt the truth of Nolan's story. There's no way the boy's lying. There's no motive. Nolan is a brave girl who roams northern Bjork on a dangerous night out only to return a necklace. Even after being tied to a wooden pole and slapped, the boy did not hate him. Jose knows clearly, that kind of person is not the kind of person who likes to play others with a lie.
But, what creature did Nolan see the same as the one who entered his house? What is the same as what they see in the river? Especially for this, Jose felt he could confirm it accurately.
“You to my house?” He offered. “There's something I want to ask you actually.”
Maria boughtak heard the offer. Unusual! More than anything, on top of all the unfamiliarity Jose has ever done, this is the most extreme. Marco often presents many women as potential partners for Jose, and all of them are beautiful and well-educated. But none of them were glimpsed by the young man. Even Jose almost never saw a walk with a woman other than Maria, which made the girl feel a little special, even though their relationship was never more than a friend.
The two used to spend free time together and tell a variety of things, from trivial things like why the millipede does not really have a thousand feet to the discussion of the mystery of missing people in Bjork.
Seeing Jose now talking with other girls, even to invite him to come home, Maria felt annoyed. Something hot plucked a little in his heart.
“You'll take her home?” ask without thinking.
Jose looked. “Ya,” said. “Why?”
“It's okay." Mary shook her head, holding her own tongue. He should not be upset. For what is upset in a girl whose style looks like a man? Maria suppressed her sense of urgency strongly. “It's okay, anyway. Just make sure, you'll bring him dressed like that?”
“Why my clothes?” nolan was offended.
That was the reaction Maria had expected. Just a short time meeting Nolan had already made him know what the characteristics of the child were. The nature of not wanting to lose is what will be used by him.
“Your clothes are inappropriate. Too decky! You know who Argent's family is, right? Let alone this city, even this entire kingdom must know that name!”
“Eh, I think it's overkill,” said Jose astonished. Argent's name may have been known in some neighboring towns in cooperation with his uncle, but Jose hesitated until he became known nationally.
“No, it is not excessive.” Maria waved in annoyance, suddenly eager to make Nolan realize where her place in society was. “The Argent family is an influential family here. Bums shouldn't be allowed in and out carelessly.”
“I'm not a bum!” Nolan screamed, drawing everyone's attention to them.
“You act like a bum.” Maria grunts. “And your clothes too. And your face.” Now, he turned to Jose. “If you take him home, for whatever reason, Uncle Marco will surely be very angry.”
“He is always angry.” Jose shrugged with a witty smile stuck to his lips. “I until feel it is one of his hobbies.”
Maria laughed while pushing her friend's shoulder playfully. “Stupid basis. Then, you want to make this kid scolded as well?”
Jose looked at Nolan. Maria has a point. If Marco sees Nolan at home, what will happen next is clear and predictable. The man will get angry, throw insinuations, drive out Nolan. Chances are, Nolan will also go berserk and cause a commotion.
Those are two situations that seem inevitable. Jose has a hard face. He really wanted to show the files he got from Marco the other day. Maybe he and Nolan can start a discussion from there. But with Nolan's current appearance, not even the butler would be fooled if Jose said the boy was about to propose to be a servant.
Jose raised his face, suspiciously looking at the smile on his friend's lips. It was the kind of mysterious smile that only Maria let out if the girl was planning something naughty. But what mischievous thing can be tucked into a favor?
“How to?” Jose asked, feeling it would not hurt to find out first.
“If this child is inappropriate, just make it appropriate.”
“Means?” This time Nolan raised his voice. He did not feel that he was inappropriate, and the talk of speed coming out of the lips of a rich-looking sweet girl did not sound pleasant to him at all. He feels suspicious.
“Uncle Marco would very much mind seeing someone who is like a bum coming to his house, dirtying his floor,” Maria began, rubbing his palm with joy. “But he will not comment anything if the one who comes is a neat and clean person.”
“Means?” Nolan still doesn't understand.
But Jose understood. He also finally understood the meaning of Mary's smile. “You want revenge because your shopping buddy I drove away?” tanyanya, holding back laughter.
“Ooh, finally you want to admit that it was indeed expelling Lady Lidya?”
“No, no, I'm just borrowing your terms, kok.”
Mary laughed, but Nolan did not. The boy really did not catch what the two people in front of him were talking about. “Do the rich always speak a shitty language? It's hard, yes, to explain what really happened to someone who looked like a bum?”
“Your question is very long, you should not forget to breathe when you talk,” Maria is cynical. A second later, he immediately changed the look of his face so sweet again. Both of his hands were lightly patted forward. “So like this, you want to come to Mr Argent's house not?”
“I've been to Jose's house!” Nolan coughed bitterly, ignoring the way Mary taught him to speak.
“Alright, kuralat, you want to come 'again' to his house or not?”
“I 'do not want.” Nolan glares. “But he invited me! Why, anyway?”
Maria gritted her teeth in annoyance, while Jose only smiled.
“Why? The weather was bright, I was so happy,” the man when he got a scolding shot from Maria.
“Oke, okay. I follow your path of thought, deh.” Maria breathed an annoyed sigh. Never before has he faced someone as thick as Nolan. Even Lady Lidya started to feel better compared to Nolan. “I'll talk using your language. Do you want to meet the invitation or act like a hick?”
“I'll be there, no matter what you say.”
