After Katrina graciously fed him, Aaron refuses to leave and even has the nerve to negotiate with her. She wants to pull out her hair in frustration.Katrina is not as intense as Aaron. If he refuses to leave, she is physically incapable of pus.h.i.+ng him out. She starts to get a little desperate.
Since Aaron is making trouble out of nothing, she can"t bring herself to care anymore.
Katrina has to catch a flight early in the morning tomorrow, not to mention pack her luggage for their overseas mission. She doesn"t have time to quarrel with Aaron.
The first thing she needs to do is to get Aaron out of here. "Fine! I"ll accompany you to your stupid party tomorrow! Now get out! Get out!"
When Katrina readily accepts his invitation, Aaron"s eyes widen with a trace of surprise.
He decides to concede finally. In the face of Katrina"s cooperation, he doesn"t want to be too hard on her.
In the past, Katrina only saw him as an enemy. She was always pale with fear, constantly trembling, and eager to get away from him.
Now she let him in her apartment, cooked his noodles, and promised to accompany him to a party. This is a big change in Katrina"s att.i.tude.
Aaron should learn to be satisfied. Although he misses the taste of her body, he doesn"t want to frighten her.
Every little change in her att.i.tude towards him gives Aaron unprecedented satisfaction. It"s a good thing to see her trust him more and more.
At that moment, Aaron finally understands what William meant. Women should be chased, not bullied. Before, he forced Katrina to stay by his side and kept her under his possession regardless of her desires. Now he understands the different pleasures of chasing a woman.
Aaron lets himself be pushed out the door by Katrina. "I"ll pick you up after work tomorrow."
Katrina nods half-heartedly. "Fine."
Tomorrow, Katrina will be overseas on her latest a.s.signment. Aaron wouldn"t be able to pick her up and force her to go with him to a party even if he wanted to.
Katrina feels a bit bad about tricking him like this, but he leaves her no choice. She has to get rid of him immediately.
Aaron points to the living room and asks, "What"s that?"
"What?" Katrina turns her head with a confused expression on her face.
All of a sudden, she feels a warm touch on her cheek.
Aaron tricked her into turning around so he could kiss her. Embarra.s.sed and angry, Katrina yells, "Aaron, you shameless b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
Overcome with fury, and she slams the door in his face.
What does Aaron take her for? Katrina is sick, and tired of him always takes advantage of her like this.
Just then, Katrina notices that Beta is still in the living room. p.i.s.sed off with Aaron, she completely forgot about Beta.
Katrina is leaving for the airport early in the morning, and she has no time to take care of Aaron"s dog.
Aaron mustn"t be far off yet. He has to take Beta with him.
Katrina quickly pulls open the door to call Aaron back. Before she can speak, she finds that he is standing outside the door, looking at her with a smile.
Aaron didn"t leave.
Under the light, he is tall and handsome. The moonlight casts a shadow on his face, making him even more charming.
Catching his eyes, she suddenly remembers the kiss just now. Her face turns red in a mixture of anger and embarra.s.sment.
"And take your dog with you," she snarls.
Aaron finds Katrina"s flushed and angry face beautiful. Aaron smirks slightly and puts out his hand. "Come here, Beta."
Beta obediently runs out of the door and squats at Aaron"s feet.
Katrina has nothing more to say. "Leave. I"m going to sleep." With that, she shuts the door again.
After Aaron finally leaves her apartment, Katrina takes a shower. Then she takes out her small suitcase and packs all the essential things she needs to take with her for her a.s.signment. Once everything is ready, Katrina goes back to her room to sleep.
Lying in bed, Katrina hopes that Aaron won"t be too angry when he finds out that she tricked him. She doesn"t need to worry. By the time he finds out, she will be long gone and out his reach.
The next day, Katrina arrives at the police station on time.
All the members of the task force are dressed in civilian clothes, carrying their own luggage. After the group is a.s.sembled, everyone takes a bus to the airport and boards their flight to Thailand.
Katrina feels a little nervous about the upcoming task. But all her colleagues are optimistic. They share jokes to relax during the trip.
"Katrina, we always see you wear a uniform. Seeing you dressed casually is quite a pleasant surprise!" one her colleagues pipe in.
Katrina smiles shyly. "Thank you, and you also look very handsome in casual clothes! You look so much younger."
The man puts on an injured look. "Are you saying I look old in uniform?"
"No, no!" Katrina hurries to rea.s.sure him, "I mean, you look mature in uniform and fresh in casual clothes."
Everyone laughs light-heartedly.
In the past, every time there was a special task for the team, only the men were a.s.signed to take part. This is the first time they are accompanied by a beautiful young girl, the only policewoman on the team.
Katrina"s presence is like a bright flower in a field of gra.s.s. Everyone on the team pays special attention to take good care of Katrina. When they get off the plane, they offer to help Katrina with her luggage.
Thailand is one of the major tourist countries in Asia.
After leaving the airport, no one even thinks about checking the major tourist spots or going around to try out the local delicacies. They go straight to the hotel.
As soon as they enter the hotel, the captain summons everyone and holds a briefing to go over the whereabouts of the suspect and the layout of the area.
"The suspect has recently frequented a high-end bar called Tilaya. Tonight, we are going to get familiar with the location and the environment. When the time comes, we will take Black Wolf down. Until then, go to your rooms and get some rest."
After the meeting, Katrina goes to her room and takes a shower.
Because she is the only woman present, she has a room to herself while everyone else pairs up in double rooms.
When night falls, the team disguise themselves as tourists and make their way to Tilaya.
This is the first time for Katrina to go to a place like this. Tilaya is full of all sorts of drag shows. Katrina feels a little strange in the unfamiliar environment.
