Chapter 287 – Master of Metaphysics

“Why can’t you all live in harmony, this is a world of reconciliation, let’s look to the future and seek common ground.” Alan Wilson did his mediation work without any sincerity.

“What do I want you to care, talking as if you were my husband.” Joan Crawford bristled, “Things between women are more complicated, in fact, there is no special reason, just do not see each other can it?”

“This reason is actually the most powerful reason.” Alan Wilson was very sincere, that’s what he thought, then raised his wrist and said, “Ladies, ready to eat. What do you want to eat, don’t make excessive requests, you should know how poor I am, I can only take the colony’s meager salary.”

In fact, he wanted to say, even this one salary can not get, in not fighting for billion points of gray income, simply eat is a problem. And not far from the flower garden in the Indian gardener is also to leave, if the time is a little later shuttle bus stops, he will have to walk back to the Delhi side, that is a hard job.

In British India, several of Hedy Lamarr’s stars, too, followed Alan Wilson’s instruction to treat the Indians with the utmost protection by ignoring them.

There must be no loyalty or true friendship with Indians. Affection, or even fondness, would not do. Often the circumstances were such that the British did love the Indians-the native officers, the forest police, the hunters, the clerks, the servants.

Indian soldiers were known to cry like children when their colonels retired. There was no harm in even being on intimate terms with them, provided the occasion was right. But to speak of joining forces, cooperating or whatever, is absolutely out of the question! Even trying to find out who was right or wrong in a Native dispute was a matter of prestige.

Of course any code is dead, people are alive, and no rule is so solid that it cannot be broken. Take Alan Wilson and Ali Khan for example, he, the Assistant Commissioner of British India, had a heartfelt respect for Ali Khan.

If Derek could do half of what Ali Khan did, he would return the same respect to Derek, depending on how the other party chose to do it.

In fact, Joan Crawford’s age, has more than Alan Wilson’s real age of twice, but the same no conflict, but from time to time on the mouth flower, molest Alan Wilson this has not seen the world of the young man.

Women and men alike, like young, just women usually do not say it, but in British India this colony, Joan Crawford returned to some of the nature of the disguise will be unloaded.

As for Alan Wilson, he felt that the matter of age should be viewed separately, after all, people’s face value is online, there is an aura of stardom on their body, age is only part of the factor. Not to mention a high-profile star, even if it is an ordinary woman, there is no shortage of young people who do not want to make an effort after a few decades, and hope that their aunt will open her big heart to give shelter.

As for Derek’s side, Alan Wilson, as a bureaucrat in a British Indian colony, has anyone ever heard of a colonial official being anxious about not being able to talk about a matter? Let alone a colonial official, even a native official, stalling for time was a specialty.

The other party did not move, while he focused on his own work, even to the point of inviting the three people who stayed in New Delhi, Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, Bette Davis, to go to the movies, at the same time about the three, but also together, this is a very bold move.

Such unprofessional behavior, so that the British India Commissioner Sir Barron very satisfied, young people have to grow more insights, do not indulge in the work, the work of British India or to be old and serious people to manage, the assistant recognized the problem, so that the top boss is very pleased.

There is nothing wrong with accompanying actresses, young people, love the heart of all people, delayed work is also okay, so many civil servants in the Viceroyalty of British India, will not let Allen Wilson worry about.

More boldly, Allen Wilson directly took out three rings and gave them to Hedy Lamarr, Joan Crawford, and Bette Davis, who also sent them at the same time.

“You’re just a civil servant, how much do you get paid?” Joan Crawford refused dryly, “That’s a lot of income for you, isn’t it.”

In fact, it is not very big, the gemstones are all from Ali Khan, Allen Wilson just took out a little bit of gold and reworked it, India, as a famous jewelry processing place, the craftsmanship is still very good, the ring also has the three people’s genus.

Allen Wilson also popularized the knowledge about the zodiac, and experienced the image of a young official with knowledge and connotation.

Just nine cows can’t be said, hearing Joan Crawford’s rhetorical question, Allen Wilson replied in the most honest tone of his life, “I am usually very thrifty, it is spending some of my previous savings, but since everyone came to British India, I always have to bring some gifts for you.”

In front of Joan Crawford, it would not be possible to just smash money, smash money at the same time to emphasize the bitter origins, to establish a personal image of hard work.

Not waiting for Joan Crawford to refuse, Allen Wilson introduced, “This dragon is dominant and controlling, insecure, like to dominate the position, like to be praised. It loves to be neat and tidy, and has a tendency to be a bit of an extremist. This Dragon has a dual personality and resists being approached. When faced with love, wants spouse to be financially stable.”

Joan Crawford wanted to continue saying something, but when she heard Alan Wilson’s words, she said with a complicated face, “No wonder Vivian listens to you so much, you know so much, you even have studied the mysticism of the East.”

That is! Allen Wilson accepted the praise unreservedly, it is estimated that yesterday the civil servants over in Xiangjiang were all in a daze, how is it that over in British India, a telegram was sent to find a fortune teller?

He also has no choice, must bear the cost for the previous negligence, these public figures kill and can not kill, can only find another way to solve the problem, and now it seems to be very good effect.

It seems that the superstition of this thing, sometimes with a use there are unexpected effects, the latter part of a black American astrologer, the Norwegian Princess with a set of witch theories to deceive the three ways.

Fixed Joan Crawford, and in Hedy Lamarr and Bette Davis as in the same way, Allen Wilson directly dealt with the three actresses who stayed in New Delhi, the civil servants who badgered a fortune-telling words, now basically can be sure, he and Fei Wenli things, at least in these three actresses here, a short time will not be leaked.

“Having accepted your gift, I’ll say one thing. Derek told me that the person he was negotiating with in British India was you.” Bette Davis said with a complicated look, “He came this time, he was originally bound and determined about the iron ore, and might even look for you.”

“Betty, you shouldn’t have divulged this matter, it might affect your relationship with Derek.” Alan Wilson was a little surprised, but immediately played the essence of dripping, and stood in Bette Davis’ position.

“Between us, he’s tired of me.” Bette Davis let out a bitter smile, “In his eyes, the so-called movie actress is not such a precious status, it’s just a piece of everything.”

It turned out that she was dumped and developed a resentful mindset, Bette Davis wasn’t wrong.

Alan Wilson thought with full of sympathy, perhaps many female stars have received too much praise, always transforming this praise into an illusion that with their beauty there will be countless people who want to have a kiss, a kiss seems to be very right, love is not necessarily.

It seems that many Hollywood actresses of this era have been married many times in their lives and ended up in misery. The actresses of the twenty-first century are obviously much more open-minded, living together for many years, and can also not get married.

“Anyway, thanks a lot.” Alan Wilson sincerely expressed his gratitude, looked at Bette Davis, who had reversed her position, and said heartily, “It’s better not to offend women.”

To say what has touched Alan Wilson the most about the recent arrival of these actresses in New Delhi is that one must, from now on, find a way to guard one’s hand, especially against Pamela Mountbatten.

For selfish reasons, he wanted to keep Pamela Mountbatten in a bubble of happiness for the rest of her life. Although in terms of face value the girl he had chosen was no match for any of these actresses.

But this is not the same, he will always have to marry a woman, in the current British civil service system, degree of marital stability also has requirements, the Cambridge five that is the exception of the exception. Most promotions are subject to marital stability.

In any case, the gradual handling of half of the members of the group of girlfriends who came to British India is also a welcome thing.

It also yielded important bottom-line intelligence that made clear Derek’s imperative for this iron ore mine, and he was more than ready to use his bureaucratic prowess to stall for time.

The heart of the bottom of the sleep want, just the knocking sound from the door, had to let Alan Wilson out of the middle of the quilt to answer the door, that is, the British community security, if he lived in the Indian-inhabited Delhi, he would not dare to do so.

“Joan?” Opening the door and taking a look at Joan Crawford, Allen Wilson instinctively tried to raise his wrist to check the time, but realized that he had taken his watch off because of his rest, and couldn’t help but laugh bitterly, “It’s late.”

“I know.” Joan Crawford walked straight in, bringing the door closed with her hand, “Ellen, my sister is a little empty.”

“Hmm? I’m not dreaming here?” Allen Wilson hadn’t come across such a good thing yet, and for a moment was in disbelief.

The moon hid behind the clouds and covered the night with darkness, and after a long time Joan Crawford sighed with satisfaction, “Alan, that was hard work.”

“Joan, I don’t have a drop left.” Alan Wilson had realized that Joan Crawford was harder to deal with than Vivien Leigh.

Unfortunately, Joan Crawford didn’t understand the important role of the time management master, fortunately, no one came over the next morning, or else they would have been caught in the act, and there was a surprise that they weren’t exposed.
