“To avoid alerting him, we will send an Asian team. Except for Jasper, who’s better off not participatingsince he is still recovering from an injury—”
“I’ll go.” A low and firm voice sounded from under the dim light.
“No, your wound hasn’t fully healed. It festered last time because you didn’t treat it promptly. Focus onrecuperating now. Don’t involve yourself in this case.”
“Exactly! Boss, please leave this case to us! We promise to successfully complete it.”novelbin
Someone in the shadows threw down a resolute statement. “This is a case I’ve been involved in. I mustparticipate.”
“Jasper.” The middle-aged man speaking sounded quite annoyed. Since his nephew joined the agency,there hadn’t been a single time he obediently followed orders. As Jasper’s superior, this wasembarrassing for him.
“Boss, is there a reason you must go?” a curious voice asked.
“No! It’s just work,” the man replied before getting up and leaving.
“Has anyone noticed that something’s off with Boss this time after he came back?”
“I did! You know what? I caught him daydreaming yesterday. Can you believe it? Our Boss?Daydreaming?”
“What if he was thinking about work?”
“Impossible! That look in his eyes didn’t seem like he was thinking about work; it was more like he wasthinking about a woman.”
“No way! Does our boss have a crush on someone?”
“Ahem!” A light cough from the head of the table interrupted the conversation. As the lights turned on, agroup of young and motivated men and women were revealed in the conference room. At that moment,a gaze with a hint of admiration looked in the direction of the entrance.
