Super Detective in the Fictional World Chapter 895 - Foreign Friend

Chapter 895: Foreign Friend

Haley felt that these looked like two birthday cake boxes, but it wasn’t hers or Margaret’s birthday.
Luke and Selina both nodded. How could it be enough to eat?
Gold Nugget looked at the woman disdainfully. Hmph! Small chest, little understanding! I would finish these small things in less than ten minutes.
After putting the dessert on the open-plan kitchen table, Luke and Selina greeted the people in the living room.
In fact, Elsa was the only one in the living room, leisurely sipping red wine on the couch.
She simply nodded at their greetings. “You’re here. Have a seat.”
Selina sat next to her on the couch and they started chatting.
Luke sat in an armchair, but his sharp senses told him that something was wrong with Elsa.
She looked back and forth between him and the door repeatedly, as if expecting something.
Generally speaking, this expression meant that something unexpected had happened.
Luke didn’t think too much of it.
Before he entered the apartment, he had completely restrained his Sharp Nose.
He didn’t like to use Sharp Nose during casual gatherings.
If he did, life would be tedious and boring, like an ordinary person who remembered every passerby’s face on the street.
As long as he was resting, he would try his best to be like a normal person and enjoy the pleasures of a normal life, including some small surprises.
They sat on the couch for a few minutes and chatted casually with Elsa and Haley.
The topic soon shifted to law and order in Manhattan.
Haley talked mostly about the previous explosions and the black mask.
Elsa indeed spoke about the attack on Kingpin’s forces, as well as the body dump at the pier in Whitestone Park last night.
Neither of them talked about the details, and just discussed how these would affect law and order in Manhattan.
Luke and Selina exchanged helpless glances.
They were familiar with the topic of conversation.
However, they couldn’t reveal the truth, and could only watch Elsa and Haley criticize NYPD’s incompetence.
That was right, these two ladies were on the same side as they criticized NYPD, especially the frontline operators.
Luke and Selina looked at each other again. Were they talking about them?
Looking at Luke and Selina, Elsa took a sip of wine and said, “This has nothing to do with you. You’re not the only field officers in NYPD.”
Luke could only nod. He wouldn’t let the 15th Precinct’s sh*t be pinned on him.
At that moment, the door opened.
The four of them looked over and saw two girls coming out of the room. They were still talking. “…No, no, no, I don’t think that’s right. If you use regular colors for everything else, the contrast will come out better…”
“…But I think that’s enough, the mysterious and powerful dark knight…”
Elsa looked at the two girls, and then at Luke, as if she were enjoying a show.
A thoughtful look appeared on Selina’s face.
Luke, on the other hand, immediately realized what was going on. He gave Elsa a look which said, “You did that on purpose.”
Elsa shrugged, feeling no guilt.
She was already giving him face by remaining quiet.
Selina recalled what Luke had said about the guests tonight. Foreign + art student + young girl. Vague memories from almost a year ago floated up, especially of those very stylistic pictures.
Thinking that, she also glanced at Luke.
Luke shrugged, indicating that he hadn’t known. Then, he stood up and said with a smile, “Hello, Margaret, Elena. It’s been a long time.”
The two girls stopped talking and looked at him.
“Luke, you’re here.” It was Margaret.
“Luke?” Elena was shocked. “Why are you here?”
Luke smiled and said, “Shouldn’t that be my line?”
He hugged Elena affectionately and then stretched out a hand to Margaret.
Stunned for a moment, Margaret shook his hand and said, “I’m glad you’re here, Luke. Do you know each other?”
Elsa looked at Selina in the living room.
Haley, on the other hand, looked at Elsa, Selina, and Luke with great interest.
Luke said, “Elena is a good friend of mine. We’ve known each other for a long time.”
Margaret nodded and observed the blushing Elena. “You’re not the American boy that Elena mentioned, are you?”
Luke looked at Elena and smiled. “If I’m that unmatched in her heart, that should be me.”
Elsa immediately turned around, and so did Haley.
However, they found that Selina didn’t seem surprised at all.
Then, Selina stood up and stretched out her hand to Elena. “Hi, I’m Selina, Luke’s partner.”
Elena shook her hand. “Nice to meet you, Selina.”
Seeing that, Elsa and Haley looked at Luke, only to discover that he was still smiling.
This guy, was he so good? This was okay? Elsa was suspicious.
Haley, on the other hand, clicked her tongue secretly. A certain someone wasn’t the least bit startled at the arrival of this foreign “friend.” How suave of her.
Selina glanced at Elsa and Haley, and gave them a cryptic smile.
Her current sense of perception wasn’t bad, either. She was aware that Elsa and Haley weren’t deliberately hiding their expressions.
What they didn’t know was that she had seen all of Elena’s pictures.
In this world, she was the one who knew Luke’s private life the best; she wouldn’t let anyone else unrelated enjoy a free show.
After this unexpected meeting, they sat down, each with their own thoughts.
The atmosphere was no different from any other party.
Elsa would just watch the show at most, and didn’t really care about Luke’s private life.
It was just like how Luke sometimes joked about her “boyfriend” in private, but wouldn’t bring it up in front of other people.
Haley preferred to observe the subtle expressions of these people, and she wouldn’t ruin her own party.
Margaret and Elena were the most innocent. They didn’t notice the subtle changes in everyone else’s expressions at all.
Unperturbed, Selina poured herself a cup of juice and gave some cookies to Gold Nugget, who was at her feet.
