Chapter 535 Everybody Is Busy

Gold Nugget whined as it chewed the xiaolongbao.

Luke turned his head with a smile.

“It didnt steal anything.

Its helping me check the taste of the xiaolongbao.

Yours will be ready soon.

You can go to the dining table.”

Selina quickly went to the dining table.

“Chef, service.”

Gold Nugget followed her and sat down next to the dining table too.

Selina angrily stretched out her foot to kick its butt gently.

“Dont copy me.”

Dollar stuck out its big tongue and tried to lick her.

This time, it was Dollar the dog who was trying to cozy up to her.

Selina laughed and held Dollar back with her foot so that this scary slobbery monster didnt launch an attack at her.

Luke came out holding aloft some steamer baskets.

Ignoring the two overly-energetic fellows, he minded his own business and ate his food.

He threw out one xiaolongbao, instantly distracting the two dogs, and the three of them stopped horsing around.

Two humans and two dogs finished twenty steamer baskets of xiaolongbao for breakfast.

Then, Luke brought out a box from his room.

“This is a special gift from Rio.”

Selina chuckled and quickly accepted it.

Feeling chastised last night, she had forgotten to ask for her gift.

Opening the box, she asked doubtfully, “Is this diamond”

Luke chuckled and said, “Good thing you didnt say glass.

Its tourmaline.

Its not too expensive.

You can wear it when youre on break.”

Examining the bright yellow gem in her hand, Selina suddenly realized something and held it next to Dollar.

Comparing them for a moment, she exclaimed in surprise.

“This looks a little like Dollar!”

Amused, Luke nodded in agreement.

That was exactly why he bought her this gift.

It seemed the perfect combo along with the gold pig that he had given to her before.

Watching Selina put the gift away in her room, Gold Nugget began to whine at Luke.

Luke was stumped.

“Your gift… Fine, I did get you something.”

Saying that, he returned to his room and then took out a stack of unique Brazilian juice flavors from his inventory.

He put the juices in front of Gold Nugget.

“Theyre specialties of Brazil: eighteen mysterious juice flavors.

I guarantee theyre unique.”

Gold Nugget sniffed them for a moment, then looked at Luke disdainfully as it began organizing the juices.

There were two rows of five cans each, plus one extra.

Luke was instantly embarrassed.

“Fine, there are only eleven cans.

But thats not because Im bad at math; I just said it without thinking.

Do you want them or not”

Hearing that, Gold Nugget ran off with a swoosh to drag out an empty bag from Selinas room.

It then put all the juices into the bag and brought it back to its doghouse.

From the room came Selinas angry yell.

“Thats my new bag.

I only bought it several days ago! It cost me fifty dollars! You bad dog…”

Putting their respective gifts away properly, Selina and Gold Nugget were perfectly satisfied as they went to work.

Today, Luke and Selina reported at the police department together with Gold Nugget.

After showing up with Dollar several times and seeing that nobody had any objections, Selina no longer left it in the car.

Seeing Luke, who had been away for a long while, their colleagues at the Major Crimes Division all greeted him and received some snacks from Selina in passing.

Billy Wang, who had always had a cheap mouth, said, “Luke, Selinas mood has improved since you returned, right We asked her why she hadnt made any snacks recently, and she said she wasnt in the mood.

Hehe…”

Luke poked the old guys belly with one finger.

“So you didnt eat the donuts she bought How did it get this big if you didnt”

Billy Wang slapped his hand away angrily.

“Get lost.

This is called a beer belly in Chinese, alright Its not from eating snacks.”

Luke said, “Then drink less and go home early to spend more time with your wife.”

Depressed, Billy Wang turned around and walked away.

“Dont bring that up, or we wont be good colleagues anymore.”

Luke chuckled and saw the middle-aged police detective off.

Billys wife was Chinese as well, and pretty bossy.

Billy was always obedient at home and could only let loose when he was out drinking.

But his wife took good care of him and the household.

There was nothing for Billy to be unhappy about; just consider it the pains of happiness.

After saying hello to his colleagues, Luke went to Elsas office.

Elsa didnt even bother to look at the snacks that Selina brought.

She just put them in her drawer before she asked, “Had a good break”

Luke nodded with a smile.

Elsa stood up and took down a stack of case files from the top of a cabinet on the side.

“These are yours.

Any objections”

Luke: “Not at all.

However, boss, want to have lunch with us” Elsa: “Is something wrong”

Luke: “Everythings fine.

I just want to talk about Martin and Roger.”

Elsa nodded.

“Okay.

Get to work now.” Case files in hand, Luke left the office with a smile.

At her desk, Selina started looking at the case files as she said, “Its probably her time of the month.

Dont take it to heart.”

Luke was stunned.

“Its her time of the month I thought it was only because of work pressure.”

Stumped for a moment, Selina nodded.

“Fine.

Maybe its a combination of the two.”

Luke: “Has work been busy lately”

Stark: “You dont know The Stark Expo is happening again, and all sorts of people are pouring into Los Angeles.

Can you imagine how much work that involves”

Luke scratched his head.

“Is that so That explains a lot.”

The Stark Expo in itself wasnt that big a deal, but during this period, L.A.s city center would see an astonishing amount of traffic.

Merchants, clients, and tourists who wanted to be part of the fun would take this opportunity to visit Los Angeles from all over the world.

Moreover, Stark Industries sold weapons.

It wasnt hard to imagine what sort of clientele and tourists they would get.Los Angeles had never been a peaceful place.

It wouldnt be unusual for foreign bigshots to clash with the local tyrants.

A couple of hundred crime cases happening at this time would be enough to run the Major Crimes Division off its feet.

But Stark Industries was a major taxpayer in Los Angeles, and also made all kinds of donations to the police department every year.

What were the American police for To provide a safe environment for the big patrons, of course.

Since they had already taken the money, LAPD could only get their entire police force to work overtime and maintain order.

As she flipped through the case files, Selina started throwing some at Luke.

“This one has to take priority.

This one, too.

This one cant be put off either…”

Looking at the case files that were thrown at him, Luke clicked his tongue.

“Its already this bad”

Selina didnt raise her head.

“Why else would I go out at night… Cough, cough, thats why Ive been busy recently.” Luke shot her a glance but didnt ask further.

He knew what she didnt say was that she had been out at night recently to beat up a lot of hoodlums precisely because of the deterioration in public safety.

Swiftly skimming the case files, he got up and said, “Lets go.

Well have to work overtime for the next few days.”
