"The admission test will take place in a week. Have you decided what to prepare? We need to make sure that we have filtered everyone well this year. We need new pa.s.sers who are mentally, emotionally, and physically fitting to our standards, especially, that concerns women..." Field Marshall Chan said during the meeting.Then, he looked at Jeru and said, "Discuss everything with Zach once he comes back to report tomorrow. I will not take part in the coming admission test and will just watch. This time, all of you will decide by yourselves and don"t involve me. All I want is fair judgment… Make sure you judge them all fairly…"
The Generals with five ranks in front of him nodded in understanding. Then, he dismissed them all after discussing things that needed attendance inside the base.
Jeru, on the other hand, did not leave his seat.
Field Marshal Chan creased his forehead and asked, "Yes, Gen. Liu? Do you still need anything?"
Jeru gave him an awkward smile and said with a hesitating voice, "About your daughter joining the Military tests. I still think that it"s not a good idea for her because she looks very fragile. and she seems, I mean it"s just doesn"t fit her image to be p-ar…"
Field Marshal Chan rolled his eyes and interrupted the stammering words of the General. "You"re just bewitched by my daughter"s beauty, Gen. Liu. Trust me that girl is a wild animal and she will bite and scratch you till you bleed. So, if I were you I wouldn"t go near her or mind whatever she does because she hates it when people belittle her, especially, when she is eager to do something…"
"But, I still…" Jeru did not continue further and just sighed. Keira was his ideal type and to be honest, he was really attracted to her physically the moment he set his eyes on her. She looked so perfect, with her perfect curly lashes that emphasized her beautiful and expressive eyes, he felt she could melt him with her one gaze.
She definitely wouldn"t fit inside their base, rather, she was perfectly suitable to be his girlfriend…
Then, a wicked smile appeared on his face before he bid farewell and left the Field Marshal alone. That smile of Gen. Liu did not slip from Field Marshal"s observant eyes.
The Old Man shook his head as he stared at the young General"s back.
"Another poor man." He thought with pity because he was sure that this man would experience heartbreak because of his daughter.
He just knew his daughter Keira very well. Out of all the girls that he could be interested with, why Jeru chose his daughter. Then, he abruptly covered his forehead with his palm when a sudden thought came to his mind. "What if Senior Liu suddenly ask for an arranged marriage?" He just hoped Gen. Liu would not come to that point because he did not want to have any misunderstanding with his father, the respectable Senior Liu as much as possible.
With his daughter still in his mind, he grinned unconsciously, he was proud as he had noticed a lot of improvements from Keira these past few days.
"Looks like she will make it here," he muttered with a smile.
...
"Aren"t you pus.h.i.+ng yourself too much? I mean the test is in 2 days. I think we should rest at least 3 days before the admission test." Lana commented because the three of them no longer were doing any activity, but Keira still wanted to do an indoor rock climbing.
Keira smiled at her as she prepared herself to start climbing.
"Don"t worry… one more round, then we"ll leave and grab a nice lunch." Keira said with a wink.
Lana rolled her eyes while Drey patted her shoulder.
"Dear Lana… chillax… You"re always so worked up. Look at the wrinkles, forming on your face. No wonder among all of us you look older. You"re always nagging like a mom." Said Drey exaggeratedly but of course, his jokes were always half meant.
May laughed, adding fuel to Lana"s irritation.
After half an hour, Keira finally stopped and the group went to a newly opened restaurant at a hotel.
"Wow, these stairs were so nice and beautiful, but it would have been better if you told me earlier, so I wouldn"t choose to eat here!!!" Keira complained because she was wearing her favorite heels.
Yes, she loved to wear high-heeled shoes whenever she was out.
Because she felt very s.e.xy whenever she wore heels.
But the long stairs were killing her feet that just finished a strenuous rock climbing.
"Well there"s still an ongoing repair at the elevator and I"m starving already... " Drey said with a laugh, and then offered, "Do you want me to carry you, Milady?"
Keira twitched her lips and answered, " Nah… I"m a future cadet, so this kind of things should be nothing to me."
She was almost at her last step when she lost her balance. Keira gasped but she did not scream and tried to control her balance but she failed.
She had closed her eyes and tried to cover her head as she readied her body to fall.
But then, she felt a pair of strong arms that caught her just in time.
She opened her eyes and they widened in bewilderment as she stared at the man who was holding her.
Her mouth opened subconsciously, trying to say something but she was too shocked that no words came out of it.
Keira blinked several times to make sure that she was seeing the right person.
"Am I daydreaming now? What the heck? Am I going crazy or hallucinating now??" Keira thought in panic.
Not contented with what her eyes were seeing, she raised her hand and pull his cheek to stretch it…
"So weird… It feels so real," she mumbled as she stretched another cheek. Keira stopped, still feeling dizzy. Unconsciously, she gently traced his pointed nose with her little finger as her eyes looked down at his lips.
"Hmm, these lips look so kissable…" she thought as she stared at his lips.
