Chapter 145 She Was Surprised
Jackson walked into the teahouse. His deep voice was clear and dry. “I’m here to see someone.”
‘See who?‘
Most importantly, did it have anything to do with her?
Why did he bring her here?
Seeing that he had already entered the teahouse, she hurriedly followed. The waiter said respectfully to Jackson, “Mr. Mason, Elbert is waiting for you upstairs.”
Jackson nodded lightly and changed his shoes at the staircase. He wore the wooden clogs that he had prepared for his guests. Elaine also changed into his wooden clogs and followed him up to the second floor. In the private room on the second floor, the antique room was surrounded by the fragrance of tea. Behind the screen embroidered with mandarin ducks playing with water, a few low coughs could be heard.
Elaine followed Jackson behind the screen. Behind the screen sat an old man in his sixties. His hair was white, and the flesh on his face was loose, but his body looked very healthy.

In front of the old man was a coffee table with pot tea sets on it. The boiling water was boiling and hot steam lingered.
Beside him stood a woman in traditional clothes. There was a teahouse logo on her clothes. She was the waiter of the teahouse.
Jackson put away his usual indifference and called out gently, “Elbert.”
The person called Elbert did not even raise his head. He pointed at the ancient clock hanging on the wall and said coldly, “You’re two minutes late. “Elaine’s eyes widened. This old–fashioned person was comparable to Abraham. He was two minutes late and still wanted to be calculative.
Jackson sat down opposite him and said calmly, “Elbert’s sense of time is really strong.”
Elbert snorted coldly. “Young man, don’t think that I’m an old antique. As a businessman, not only do you have to keep your reputation, but you also have to pay attention to the concept of time. Perhaps two minutes will make you miss a business. If it’s on the operating table, then it might be a life.”
This analogy was quite vivid.
Jackson said calmly, “I came late because I brought you a surprise.”
He had clearly come empty–handed. He was old, but he wasn’t blind. “I’d like to see what kind of surprise you’re carrying. “The two of them

chatted one by one, completely ignoring Elaine. She was simply unnecessary. She stood awkwardly at the side, not knowing what to do.
Jackson looked up at her and gestured for her to sit down. She did as she was told and knelt down on the other side of the coffee table. Only then did Elbert notice her presence. “She is?”
Jackson picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea. He took a sip and seemed to be dissatisfied with the brewer’s skills. He frowned slightly and put down the teacup. “Abraham’s little granddaughter. She’s the surprise I brought for you.”
Elaine turned to look at him with a puzzled expression.
Elbert’s sharp gaze sized her up. His gaze was too sharp and eagle–like. Elaine’s scalp went numb under his gaze and he almost felt uneasy.
What the hell was Jackson doing? She tilted her head and asked him with her eyes. He glanced at her indifferently before looking away.
“Her?” Elbert sounded doubtful.
The corners of Jackson’s lips curled into a faint smile. He picked up the teacup on the small table and took a small sip. He shook it gently with a disdainful expression. “This tea brewer’s skills need to be improved. Elaine, make a pot of tea for Elbert to try.”
Elaine was stunned when her name was mentioned. Seeing that both of

them were looking at her, she took a deep breath and said slowly, “I need to clean my hands and burn incense.”
Her position in Valentine family was too low. Constance had forced her to learn tea to please Abraham.
