穿著海藍軍裝，留有一頭酒紅長髮的女子坐在黑檀木製的大桌前，此刻正惡狠狠的瞪著站在窗邊，背對她的老人。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqEytPUwsMH

負責開車的老管家偷瞄在後照鏡中一動也不動，只是凝視領帶的巴特夫，眼角不禁勾起。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFphywulYx
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlHleK9SYvU
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57KjLGtOMS
還是跟以前一樣，不會打領帶呢！老人正要開口詢問是否需要幫忙時，巴特夫已經打上領帶。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5uBpDA0jPQ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jS6H1RzNJ
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡojGHcWQiHs
老管家有些失落，但知道他已經不是當年那個老是要他偷偷幫忙打理儀容的小孩，心裡不禁泛起欣慰。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhV9gQt5EBZ

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7ZQoKrGqH8
「……小夫少爺、不，應該說是蘭基中將。」老管家出聲。自從在機場見到巴特夫後，他一直找不到話題開口。眼見即將抵達目的地，還要打理莊園雜事的他或許再也找不到機會跟這位 14 年不見的小少爺說說話。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHf9GoI6bi2

今天是世界前五大建設公司──「蘭星集團」成立 80 周年的紀念日。集團現任總裁──麥考夫 ‧ 蘭基廣發邀請函給熟識官員、合夥人和部屬，讓大家一同見證集團的光輝。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrfHLsuBqFu

146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAx1Riwett

巴特夫和大葆士鮮少在媒體前露面。雖然不像已經不是本人的大葆士宣傳照那麼誇張，但巴特夫秀氣外貌對戰神殿公關部而言依舊不甚理想，對外宣傳照仍舊躲不過被調整的命運。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1G39aMLWFr

「麻煩您了。」巴特夫點頭。他往老管家前進方向看去，只見有一小群被簇擁著的人在高聲闊論。146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbhwVBzM9R
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaFIvIBE62
146Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdEWEl29F6z
