America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 80 Second date with Ikana

   Abel did not lie to David.

   His date at noon is really not a little Hollywood actress.

  It's a famous New York lady.

   is in the upper class of New York society,

  D·Ikana Lerner, who is much more famous than her own father D. Ted Lerner.

   It has been almost half a month since I last met Ikana.

  This time it was Abel who invited her out for lunch.

  The location for lunch is the Steak House of the Modern Hotel, a tire three-star restaurant on the Upper East Side.

   That's right, the name of this restaurant is "Steak House in Hyundai Hotel".

   English is Steakshopinamodernhotel, which is a literal translation of the name.

  People from the Celestial Dynasty look weird, but the names of many stores and companies in Laomei are actually like this.

  This store focuses on overlooking the beautiful scenery of Central Park.

   And a variety of delicious steak and American food.

  The price is actually not expensive, and the per capita consumption is about 90$.

   Well, to the average American working class.

   Still quite expensive.

  The restaurant was chosen by Abel, he likes the steak here.

   But the location is chosen by Ikana, and it is up to her to decide.

   "The chef of this restaurant used to work in my house."

  Sitting opposite Abel, today's Ikana is wearing a white top with a little purple, and the bottom is a lavender short skirt, which is swaying slightly.

  Her beautiful long blonde hair fell to her waist, and her big blue eyes were unfathomable.

  Wearing white high-heeled shoes on the feet, it is estimated that they may be 10 centimeters.

   match her height,

  Abel felt that when she stood up, she might not be shorter than him.

   This is also a standard big ocean horse, a little taller than the 178cm Liv Tyler.

   Very beautiful, very modern women, very delicate clothing and makeup.

   "I like the steak here." Abel smiled and admired her obviously meticulously groomed face, and said:

   “A lot of people like their steaks medium-rare, medium-rare, or even medium-rare.

  Maybe I am weird, I like well-done. "

   "It just so happens that this restaurant can cook the steak fully, and it can also guarantee a certain degree of tenderness."

   “So I like coming here to eat.”

  Hearing Abel's request for steak, D. Ikana Lerner was slightly surprised.

  Her father's favorite steak is also well-done.

  That's why I invited the current chef of this restaurant to be her personal chef.

   But that was years ago.

   At that time, the chef was not so famous.

  Later, when her father went bankrupt for the seventh time, he couldn't afford a private chef.

  The chef, who was able to make well-done steaks soft and tender, left Lener's house.

   She smiled and said, "Okay. This is a good hobby of yours.

  Eat fully cooked food, which is easier to digest. It is more beneficial to the body. "

  Abel shrugged when the waiter from the restaurant came over.

   "Good afternoon, sir and madam." The beautiful waitress smiled and had a first-class service attitude.

   But her service was interrupted.

  A male chef in his fifties wearing a tall hat appeared behind her.

   "Lena, let me do it." The chef smiled and said to the maid.

   "Chef Stephen?!" the waiter said in surprise.

   "Let me come, Lena."

"OK."

  The female waiter hurriedly left, she couldn't afford to offend the most important chef in the shop.

   "Mr. Smith, is it the old rules?" After the waiter Lina walked away in surprise.

  The chef in the chef's costume came to Abel and D·Ikana Lerner with a smile and spoke.

   "Mr. Stephen?" Seeing the chef, Ikana whispered in surprise.

   "You know him? Oh, Stephen used to be your dad's cook."

  Abel smiled next to him, and continued:

   "There's nothing wrong, the old rules are fine.

   Besides, dear Stephen, how are you thinking? "

  Ikana doesn't know what Abel's "old rules" are.

   She is even more curious now, what Abel asked Stephen to think about.

   "Think clearly." Seeing the chef of this restaurant, Stephen responded with a smile:

   "Mr. Smith, I would love to work for you.

  I have submitted my resignation to my former boss, the day after tomorrow at the latest.

   Then I can report to you. "

"Very good."

  Abel smiled and said, "In that case, I can eat your steak every day."

   "It's a great honor~" Stephen bent slightly and said with a smile.

"you."

  Ikana said in a surprised tone.

   "Just like you think." Abel smiled, "I especially like Stephen's cooking skills.

  I extended an invitation to him last week.

   Obviously, Stephen agreed to my request. "

   "Yes." Stephen said with a smile, "I have submitted my resignation."

   After hearing this, Ikana didn't know what to say.

   After a few seconds, she said leisurely:

   "If this is the case. Abel, the owner of this restaurant will hate you to death."

   "That has nothing to do with me." Abel shrugged:

   "Stephen is more willing to work for me. That proves that the conditions on my side are more attractive to Stephen."

   "Are you right, Stephen."

   "You are right, sir."

  Seeing Stephen's cooperation, the protagonist smiled and said, "Let's order for this lady first."

"OK."

   "Ms. Ikana." Stephen obviously remembered Ikana, he smiled and said, "What would you like to eat? Is it the same as before?"

   "Yes." Ikana said, "Give me half-rare, please. Forget it."

  She changed her words: "Give me a well-done steak, too."

  She suddenly wanted to try her father's and Abel's favorite flavors.

   "Okay. I'll arrange it right away. Please wait a moment, Mr. Smith."

"no problem."

  Stephen left.

  Ikana couldn't help but look at Abel, who was overlooking Central Park.

   This gave her a chance to take a good, sneaky look at the other party.

   This man has many typical Anglo-Saxon features.

  Blonde hair, blue eyes, white skin, tall and strong, with slightly drooping outer eyelids and sunken eye sockets, that is, slightly triangular eyes.

   But this kind of triangular eyes will not make his eyes look small.

  On the contrary, his eyes looked aggressive like a eagle watching a wolf.

  His face is vertical, as if cut by a knife, except for the straight nose, there is no obvious abrupt point.

  Different from her slightly mellow German, the Anza looks more aggressive in appearance.

  From the perspective of physiology and race, Ikana made such an evaluation of Abel's appearance.

   In terms of aesthetics, Anglo-Saxons rarely produce handsome men.

  But the Abel in front of him is different,

  She thought the man in front of her was very handsome.

   At the same time full of masculinity, impeccable in appearance.

   Among the Anza people, there are not many beautiful men.

   "Look below."

  Suddenly, Ikana heard Abel say this.

   At the same time, his eyes returned to her.

  She hurriedly withdrew the eyes that admired the "beauty" just now, and subconsciously responded, "Huh?"

  Abel chuckled inwardly, although his attention was on the bottom just now.

   But Ikana's eyes and dazed little movements are also seen in her eyes.

  He didn't expose the other party, but pointed out the window downstairs.

   That is Central Park, an open space in front of the building where the restaurant is located.

  Ikana looked in the direction he pointed, and found that it was a fenced building land.

  The area is not large, it is estimated to be about tens of thousands of square feet, and it may be smaller.

  There is a fence outside, and some construction materials and tools are stored in the open space, as well as a small excavator.

   This is not elegant at all.

  It greatly spoils the atmosphere of watching Central Park for the guests at the location of the restaurant.

   "What's wrong? An empty lot, I think it was"

  She recalled it carefully, and then said: "It is the land of the Teplan Real Estate Group. Because of the entanglement of property rights, it has been vacant for two years."

   "Yes." Abel nodded, and suddenly said: "If a skyscraper is built on this land.

  Since it is only one street away from Central Park, it must be able to make a lot of money. "
