Report

Selina knew that most of the time, Luke would slack off.

He wouldn't make something as troublesome as fried buns unless he was in a good mood.

As for desserts like cakes, he could make a lot of them in one go in the oven. They were simple and convenient, which was his first choice.

Luke said with a smile, "There are times when I'm somehow happy."

Selina didn't dwell on it, and quickly went to wash up.

While they were eating hot soy milk and fried buns, Rebecca slowly opened her eyes in an apartment building far away in the city.

Looking at the completely unfamiliar ceiling, she was slightly stunned, before she recalled what had happened before she passed out last night.

She lifted the thin blanket and looked at herself.

She was only wearing a pair of underwear, but she wasn't naked yet.

Most of her wounds were covered with gauze and bandages. Her broken bones had been taken care of, and the splints had been put on properly.

The two gunshot wounds on her back had also been cleaned and bandaged. It was a typical battlefield first aid, simple and practical.

Apart from the pain of her wounds, she didn't feel anything out of the ordinary.

For example, there wasn't any sign that something she had been prepared for had happened.

Holding back the pain, she slowly sat up in bed. There were all kinds of noises outside the window, which suggested that she was in the city.

Grabbing the two pistols on the bedside table, she quickly examined them and confirmed that they were her special guns. Even the magazines were on the side.

She exhaled and endured the pain. First, she put on the vest that was placed on the side, put on the holster, and put on a long-sleeved shirt.

These things were placed beside the bed. They had been prepared for her.

After everything was done, Rebecca got up and walked to the window. She raised the curtain a little and looked outside.

It was an ordinary street with pedestrians coming and going every now and then. There was nothing unusual about it.

Frowning and observing for a few minutes, Rebecca put down the curtain and asked in confusion, "What's the meaning of this?"

She didn't understand what the mysterious man wanted last night.

He brought her, who was unconscious, to a safe house. He even helped her treat her wounds, but he left without leaving any message.

Did he really just want to watch her kill Wolf Elsworth?

Frowning, she walked back to the bed and saw a large bag of snacks and drinks. On the surface, there was a word casually spelled out using the cover letters of a magazine — BYE!

Did he really leave? Rebecca fell into deep suspicion.

But soon, the tough woman packed up everything, left the room, and disappeared into the crowd downstairs.

On the other hand, Luke took Selina to work with a relaxed expression.

Selena was numb.

She confirmed that a certain someone's mood today was far more pleasant than usual.

Could it be that he had secretly gone to talk to Miss Jenny about business again last night to relax?

There was naturally a reason why Luke was in a good mood.

Rebecca's two abilities were only separated by a prerequisite, which was 20 Mental Strength.

Once that was achieved, he would still have Bobby's Mind Communication ability. All he had to do was … play a few more rounds of cards with Bobby?

Looking at the experience in the system, it had reached 25568. If his calculations were correct, he would be able to reach level 12 with 30000 EXP and gain 5 Basic Points.

4000 EXP was nothing to him, as he had been steadily gaining 2000 EXP every week.

As he calculated in his heart, his face was also full of smiles.

When he sat down at his desk, Sonia gave him a questioning look.

Luke nodded with a smile, and she immediately came over.

She asked in a low voice, "Did you hear the big news last night?"

Both Luke and Selina shook their heads.

Sonia said in an even lower voice, "There was a fierce battle in one of Wolf Elsworth's mansions in the suburbs last night. There were gunshots everywhere, and more than thirty bodyguards were killed. Wolf Elsworth himself is missing." She couldn't help but look at Luke.

Luke was surprised. "Kidnapped?"

After a brief silence, Sonia said, "I don't know, but the Elsworth family has already spread the word that anyone who gives us Wolf Elsworth's whereabouts will be rewarded with a million dollars, and those who are useful will get at least a hundred thousand."

Luke smacked his lips. "Too bad we can't earn that money. The boss won't let us touch their cases. "

Looking at his face, Sonia's vague suspicions were dispelled. "It's good that you know. I'm going to work."

They only stayed in the office for a while, and when it was a little past work time, they drove out to investigate the case.

Not long after they left, Luke's phone rang while they were on their way to work.

He took out his phone and picked up his wireless earpiece. "Sheerah, what can I do for you?"

As he spoke on the phone, he slowly parked the car.

"What? A performance? Are you kidding? "Luke asked in surprise.

A moment later, he said hesitantly, "I'll think about it. I'll give you an answer before noon. Bye."

Selina looked at him. "A big singer?"

Luke nodded. "Yes, that's her."

"What's up?" asked Selina.

Luke put his phone back and said helplessly, "She wants me to be her temporary bodyguard tomorrow."

Selina said, "Are you serious? Doesn't she have bodyguards? Why would she want you? "

Luke said, "Because she's not allowed to bring bodyguards to the place she's going to. She can only bring two people. One is a makeup artist, and the other is me, who will accompany her as a staff member."

Selina frowned. "Where is she going? She can't even bring a bodyguard? "

Luke shrugged. "She didn't tell me the details. She only asked me to call her after I thought about it."

Selina asked, "Don't you have to work?"

Luke said, "It's a private job. She'll be on the helicopter at half past five, and she'll be sent back to Los Angeles before midnight. "

Selina was lost for words for a moment. "Suit yourself." This was a favor.

If Luke wanted to improve his relationship with Sheerah, he could take the job, but it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't.

Also, it would only take about six hours to go back and forth, and wouldn't affect his work life much.

After thinking for a moment, Luke called back and told her that he would take the job.

He was still a little curious about how these singers usually performed.

Even the most obedient person would be curious, and Luke was no exception.

More importantly, the place Sheerah was going to perform at was very interesting. Luke would be killing two birds with one stone if he went with her.

Sheerah was very happy. She set up a time with him and said that she would send a car to pick him up the next afternoon.

At four o 'clock the next afternoon, Luke snuck home with Selina early and made dinner for her. He promised to record something for her when he had the chance, before he got into Sheerah's car.

The car went straight to a military airfield. Luke was stopped on the way in, and was only allowed in with the temporary pass that Sheerah had given him last night.
