Memories Of The Night

Isn"t Aaron in Abbe City for a business trip? Is he here to expand his business? Is he going to move his company"s headquarters to Abbe City?

G.o.d! This is too risky and ambitious!

It would be better for Aaron to stay in Hadley City. Everybody in Hadley City knows him. He has all the power there! Why is he expanding to Abbe City?

But capable people rarely fail no matter where they go.

Despite being a newcomer in Abbe City, Aaron is already the youngest and top golden bachelor in the city. Despite being a newcomer, his current social status and fortune rank him among the top five in Abbe City.

Katrina gets even more anxious.

She thought that she could avoid him for a few days during his stay. Then after Aaron leaves, she has nothing to worry about anymore.

But now, she learns that Aaron is staying.

The city is not small, but it"s not that big either. If she runs into him later, what should she do? One brief encounter with him has already frightened her out of her wits. If she meets him often in the future, how can she put her bad experiences in the past?

Things are already complicated enough with Marcellus and Sophie, and now, Aaron suddenly enters the picture

My G.o.d! Her life is really getting even messier!

On the screen, a slight smile graces Aaron"s handsome face as his eyes suddenly fix on her.

It"s probably a trick of the light, but she feels as if Aaron is actually looking at her through the screen. His gracious and charming gaze seems unspeakably threatening.

Startled, Katrina turns off the TV at once.

The next day, Katrina yawns and crawls out of bed sleepily. Squinting, she brushes her teeth and washes her face in the bathroom. She fell asleep so late last night but has to get up early for work today. She"s extremely tired.

After was.h.i.+ng her face, she goes to the kitchen and fried eggs and ham to make a simple sandwich. She eats the sandwich and a gla.s.s of milk for breakfast.

Afterward, she changes into her overalls and makes her way to the police station.

Fortunately, there is no work to be done this morning. Katrina sits alone at her desk, staring at her computer.

When Colin goes out to buy drinks for everyone, he turns around and asks, "Katrina, what do you want to drink?"

"A cup of coffee, please."

She is in desperate need of a cup of coffee to wake her up.

"Okay!"

Colin quickly writes it in his notebook. Noticing the dark circles under Katrina"s eyes, he can"t help asking, "Katrina, what did you do last night? You look exhausted. Didn"t sleep well?"

Colin"s words immediately attract the attention of their other colleagues.

Katrina is holding her head wearily. She looks up, only to find her colleagues gathering around her and staring at her like a hawk.

Alarmed, she quickly becomes alert as she eyes them warily. "What are you looking at?"

Having so much attention on her is stressing her out. She just didn"t sleep well last night, so she has bloodshot eyes now.

Does she really look that bad?

Katrina rummages for a mirror in her bag to look at her face.

Her colleagues tease, "Katrina, what did you do last night?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Who is it? Is it Attorney Brook?"

"Did you go to Attorney Brook"s place last night, or did he go to yours?"

The questions become more suggestive as they progress.

Blus.h.i.+ng, Katrina quickly retorts, "No! Stop talking nonsense!"

She just suffered from insomnia last night. Why are they implying that she spent the night with a man? They keep talking as if it"s true, and it"s embarra.s.sing Katrina a lot.

"What are you doing?" a stern voice roars from a distance, shocking all the nosy policemen. When they turn their heads, they see their captain standing in the doorway, staring at them disapprovingly.

"Why aren"t you working? Stop bullying the only girl on our team! Go on, patrol!"

Because the scene looks misleading, the captain misunderstands the situation. The image of the pet.i.te Katrina being interrogated incessantly by a group of tall male police officers looks like a white rabbit surrounded by a pack of wolves.

The captain takes care of the only female officer in the team. At sight, he a.s.sumes that the men are bullying the girl, so he seeks justice for her.

The captain"s sudden arrival makes all the policemen quickly disperse away from Katrina. They all reply in an aggrieved tone, "Captain, you misunderstand! We"re not bullying Katrina!"

"We"re just concerned about Katrina"s relations.h.i.+p status!"

Katrina is the only girl on the team, so it"s reasonable for them to care about her relations.h.i.+p status. They want to know if they have the chance to be with her.

"Stop talking nonsense! Go to work!"

Katrina can"t help bowing her head and pursuing her lips together with a secret smile as she watches the captain reprimand her colleagues.

When she first came to the station, being surrounded by male colleagues intimidated her. She was worried that they would bully her or exclude her from the team.

But as time pa.s.sed by, she realized that being the only girl present is also nice. Although her colleagues like to tease her, they are never malicious. Even the captain, a man who looks particularly strict, takes special care of her.

After the captain reprimands everyone, the policemen return to their desks sullenly.

When he turns to leave, the captain suddenly remembers something. "Everyone worked hard last night. The commissioner was satisfied with the results and praised the team. To celebrate, the bureau is treating everyone to lunch today."

Just as the captain finishes talking, the previously aggrieved men suddenly begin to cheer.

"That"s amazing! The captain is so handsome!"

"Captain! I love you!"

The captain retorts back, "Shut up! I"m not gay!"

The office bursts into laughter.

Everyone in the team is serious about their work.

Although the captain is usually very strict with them, criticizing them without mercy when they do something wrong, he is a very generous leader.

There is no shortage of benefits and rewards for the police officers on the team.

It"s probably why their team is always the best at their work, and they always have a harmonious atmosphere in the team.

They have a good captain.
