Chapter 2105
After collecting the money, Vermont tossed the dice to the person beside him and poured two glasses of liquor. He handed oneto Marshall and sat down next to him. "Did you come from the office?"
"Yeah; Marshall responded and took a sip of the drink."Why are you and Ms. Thompson fighting?"
Vermont's expression instantly turned sour upon hearing Marshall's question. "We're here to have fun. Why do you have to askabout such unhappy things?”
Marshall said gently, "Ms. Thompson is a very genuine and nice person. She's younger than you, and you should be moreaccommodating to her."
“Am | not being accommodating enough to her?" Vermont put down his glass and spoke with a stern face. "I've had so manygirlfriends; have | ever been as open and sincere with any of them as | am with her?
"| Know she's a genuine person, but she spends all her effort on her friend. When does she ever care about me? She isn't evenwilling to bring me to meet her mother. Am | such a bad boyfriend that she can't bring me to her mother?"
Marshall chuckled upon hearing that. "Girls are shy. Maybe she's just not ready yet. After all, your relationship with her is stablenow. There's no need to rush things."novelbin
Vermont waved his hand. "| asked you here to drink with me, not to lecture me. I'm going to leave if you don't stop talking aboutthis."
Marshall stopped speaking and clinked glass with Vermont.After a few drinks, he started chatting with Carter.“Lena is going to transfer to another department, right? Has she done so?"
Carter shook his head. "She loves what she's doing too much and doesn't want to transfer. I'm just going to let her be. As long asshe's happy with what she's doing, I'm happy too."
Marshall nodded and casually asked, "How many years has Lena been in this position?"Carter thought for a moment before he said, "About six or seven years, | think."
"Six or seven years..." Marshall pondered as he continued, "Around six or seven years ago, there were a few major cases inRivera. When | was abroad, | heard from my family that the culprit of the serial killings in Sierra was caught six years ago.
"It happened near The Hox Club area. Later, when the police found out where the killer buried the victims, they found theremains of eight bodies. Was Lena involved in that case?"
Carter paused for a moment and poured himself another glass of liquor. He responded with a smile, "She was just an intern backthen. How could she have had the opportunity to participate in such a major case? Even if she did, she would have just beenassisting from the sidelines."
Marshall sighed. "Time flies, huh? We used to always hang out at The Hox Club, but hardly anyone knows about that placeanymore now. It was such a famous place, and now it's gone without a trace."
Carter did not say anything.
He was thinking about the person Keegan asked him to investigate yesterday, the one who fell to his death at The Hox Club.‘Why is Marshall repeatedly mentioning this place?’ he wondered.
Vermont did not sense anything wrong. After all, he was also here for a purpose.
After a few more drinks, Vermont seemed a little drunk as he asked softly," Marshall, how are things between you and Ms.Wilson?"
Marshall replied flatly, "She's fine.""You don't like her, huh?"Marshall remained silent.
Vermont drank another glass of liquor and said, "Your mother wanted me to persuade you to spend more time with Ms. Wilson.How can | possibly do that? I'm sure she knows what you want better than | do."
As he reached for the bottle again, Marshall stopped him. "Stop drinking. You've had enough."
Vermont swayed his hand unsteadily. "| haven't had too much. I'm very sober. Marshall, be honest with me. Are you still thinkingabout Willow?"
