David suddenly realized that Rena had been making coffee for him all these years, and he had gotten used to the taste. The coffee made by others, including himself, was either too strong or too bland for him. Only the cup in his hand was just right!
Looking at Rena's figure walking to the door, David suddenly shouted.
"Wait a minute!"
Rena stopped and turned to look at David in confusion. Seeing him put the coffee on the table next to him, she couldn't help but ask curiously.
"What's wrong? The coffee doesn't taste good? That shouldn't be the case. I made it according to the concentration you usually like. "
David looked at the puzzled Rena, shook his head gently, and said with a smile.
"The coffee is fine, but I don't plan to work overtime tonight."
Having said that, David looked at Rena and said slowly with a serious face.
"Let's have dinner together? It's my treat. "
Reina looked at David in astonishment when she heard that, but then she suddenly reacted. While she was surprised, she also nodded happily and said, "Thank you.
"Great! There's a new restaurant near my house. I heard it's good! "
David walked to Rena's side, looked at the blush on her face, and nodded with a smile.
"Then let's go and try it!"
The two immediately walked out of the office area of the Criminal Investigations Department side by side and walked toward the elevator. In the elevator, neither of them spoke, and the surrounding atmosphere became a little subtle for a while.
Rena turned her head and secretly glanced at David from time to time. In addition to happiness, she couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. David had been working overtime in the office every day during this period to study those cases. Why did he suddenly get off work early today? Did he have some progress?
Moreover, it wasn't that she hadn't asked him out for dinner before, but other than eating with the other members of the Criminal Investigations Department, the two of them had never eaten alone. Not to mention, David actually took the initiative to invite her today. Did the sun rise from the west?
Moreover, she also found that David's entire state seemed to be a little different from before. Although his eyes were still bloodshot due to staying up late for a long time, there was a faint sharp light in his eyes. His spirit was better than ever, somewhat like when she first joined the FBI and was transferred to work under David.
At that time, he was like this. He was full of fighting spirit, high-spirited, and seemed to be full of infinite power, which infected the people around him.
However, under George's constant suppression later, although David never changed his mind and was still full of fighting spirit, he was still determined to do what he thought was right. However, the heavy work and pressure made him feel like a sharp sword covered in dust....... he became much more depressed and less high-spirited......
.......................................
All of this seemed very obvious, but it was only Rena's feeling. Only she, who had been with David for so many years and was incomparably familiar with him, could keenly detect this change.
Rena even had a feeling that the sharpness exuding from David at this time seemed to be stronger than before!
But she clearly remembered that when she was in David's office, he wasn't like this. In the time it took her to make a cup of coffee, what happened to make him change so dramatically?
David naturally noticed Rena's puzzled gaze and knew what she was wondering, but he just smiled and didn't say anything.
In the past, when David was just an ordinary agent and a team leader, he didn't come into contact with the power and interest circle of the FBI. Everything he thought and did was to fight crime, eradicate evil, and protect the interests of the citizens. His superiors were naturally happy to have a subordinate who worked hard to solve cases and dared to fight.
However, when he became the director of the Criminal Investigation Department with his own ability, the situation changed. After he had a certain amount of power and touched the interest circle, his choice and persistence became an obstacle for others to obtain benefits. Naturally, suppression followed.
Not only did the suppression and restrictions from the top make him tired of dealing with it, but his disappointment in the FBI also made him doubt his past beliefs. Could joining the FBI really achieve his dreams?
A soldier who began to doubt in his heart naturally lost his original sharpness.
Although he also tried to change all of this, and even tried to change the entire FBI, the doubt in his heart never disappeared.
And David, who was trying to change and doubt with all his energy, naturally didn't have the energy to talk about love and relationships.
Moreover, he didn't want to separate them because of his relationship with Rena.
If a colleague in the same department was in a relationship, according to the FBI's regulations, one of them must be transferred to another department.
Over the years, it wasn't that he didn't know about Rena's feelings for him. In fact, he had a good impression of this elite subordinate who had been following him since he joined the FBI. She grew from a young rookie to a capable person who could take charge of a department and become his right-hand man.
It was because of this that he didn't want Rena to be transferred.
If Rena was transferred to another department, with the nature of their work in the operations department, they might only be able to stay together at night. When they were busy, they might not even be able to see each other for a few days.
But like now, they spent most of their time together and could see each other at any time. They could also fight side by side when carrying out missions. If they encountered danger, he could also rush forward immediately.
Compared to being together like they were in a relationship, he was more willing to maintain the current state.
If there were no accidents, he would either be promoted through hard work, leave the Operations Department, and be together with Rena when he could live like a normal person. Or, Rena would give up in the end and be together with someone else when she never got his feedback.
And based on the current situation, it was obvious that the latter was more likely.
As long as George was still there, he couldn't let him climb up and ruin their plans!
Fortunately, Chen Mo's appearance changed all of this!
Now, David no longer had the doubts in his heart because right now, in his heart, he was an agent of S.H.E.L.D.. The FBI was just a cover for him. Since the FBI had problems, then he would solve these problems!
And after his identity changed, David's mentality also underwent a huge change. His previous scruples about the FBI's rules were completely broken. So what if the FBI said that people in the same department couldn't be together? I'm going to be together!
Not only during the day, but also at night!
