Chapter 290
I heard Cole's serious but sloppy words like playboy fiddle with a woman's heartstrings.
Penny couldn't help laughing.
"So... Your Excellency, are we dating now? Say yes in advance. I may have some good feelings for you, but it is far from reaching the level of agreeing to have sex with you."
p>The female demon-hunter's witty but explicit rhetoric.
It did not make Cole lack of emotional fluctuations in the expression of produce transformation.
Perhaps she wanted to use this cold joke to ease the serious atmosphere in the office, or she might deliberately want to forget something.
Hide your heart.
A man who has experienced family destruction and despair at the age of fourteen, and his heart is far more delicate than ordinary people.
How could I not understand what Cole conveyed to her.
The laughter gradually cooled.
The atmosphere in the office returned to the solemn and solemn atmosphere just now, and there was even more pain.
Being held by Cole.
After a long silence, Penny took his hand back, made a fist, and placed it on his leg.
Lower your head, took a deep breath, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Other people always like to comfort me, time can heal all pains, but...but..."
while speaking.
The trembling voice gradually became crying.
Tears couldn't help pouring out of his eyes and dripping onto the tabletop.
Cole put his hand back, took out a tissue and handed it over, silent.
"Thank you..."
A demon-hunter who had forged a blood feud with Dark World, offered to leave for the simple reason of fatigue.
Maybe others don't understand what Penny is talking about, but he knows it very well.
The belief that supported her alive may not have collapsed yet.
But another negative force has tortured her spirit and blamed her soul every moment after the internal investigation was over.
People who have never experienced it will never understand, Penny Seranda, the future bureaucrat who was named by the head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to find important people on the board.
Under the appearance of perseverance, he was already full of defects at the age of fourteen.
Not only can time not become a cure.
On the contrary, like a blunt knife, it cuts her soul every second.
The voices and curses of the dead echoed in my ears.
Even the sun is shining enough to crush all the dark light, and in her eyes, it has become dim and faded.
There is no doubt about it.
In the eyes of other people, Penny just couldn't get out of the shadows and wanted to resign and take a rest for a while.
Cole is very clear.
If she is allowed to leave, it may not be long before the death case file of the Imperial Capital police station will include another case of the former demon-hunter suicide.
This time.
Xia En knocked on the door of the office, and a strong logistics guy walked into the office with a lot of food.
Penny hurriedly sat up straight, turned her face to the other side, and wiped her cheeks with paper.
After putting down the food.
The guy still seems to want to have something to happen to Miss Shane, such as a small chat, to gain a good impression, but he is pushed out.
Go to the door.
Xia En pulled the doorknob and slightly nodded to Cole, indicating that she would stay outside and call her if something happened.
Penny dried her tears and looked up to Cole and said with a smile, "Where did we talk? Dating...Yes. Cole, if you... ."
Cole took out a cigarette, browsed slightly wrinkle, and placed it on the table again, crossing his hands.
"Listen, Penny, I have no right to comment on your choice or interfere with your life. This is your freedom.
But you have to remember .
In this world, people still care about you."
After that.
The office fell into a long silence again.
Until Penny picked up the wine glass, said with a smile, "What are you talking about? What do you care about... I just want to complain, not to talk about these sad things.
I bought this bottle of wine for thirty pounds."
However.
The two had just finished clinking their glasses, and even Cole was still hungry.
Miss Shane knocked on the door of the office, showing a rare expression of kindness to Penny, and then said solemnly to Cole, "Your Excellency, Director Balluch has very important things and needs to talk to you. , He is waiting for you in the office."
Penny sighed, got up and jokingly said, "Since the Minister is busy at work, I won’t bother. Save this bottle of wine for next time."
Before leaving, smile at Sean.
Perhaps it is to untie the knot.
Maybe it is to cover up the scars again.
After the conversation, she did not mention her resignation and leaving.
When she walks to the door of the office.
Cole lit the cigarette that he took out and put it on the table, putting one hand in his trouser pocket, indifferently said, "Penny."
"What's the matter?"
"I will consider the matter of dating."
The female demon-hunter curled her lips in disdain, as if she had returned to her previous appearance, and said, "Yes, but I have to wait for a while. , Mr. Big Lover."
Obviously.
She has heard a little about the gossip between Cole and the female reporter Amelia and a certain arrested Demoness.
Waving a hand, the sound of footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Miss Shane stood at the door, was silent for a while, helped her glasses, and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, although I am a secret technique, I should not interfere with your private life.
But As a father, you should think more about how the child feels."
Cole put on his coat and said, "father?"
Sean coldly said, "Miss Arlene, no Is your daughter?"
"Who told you?"
After a while of silence, Xia En lowered his head slightly and said, "I'm the one who made a mistake, but all day today, The witch hunt group is rumored that you have a very close relationship with the witch who was arrested and put in jail, and you even have a daughter."
Cole tidied up his collar and said blankly, "Now it’s more than usual. Miss Shane, do you think someone will associate me with a witch for no reason?
Go to the Minister of the Interior and ask him to conduct a secret investigation into this rumor. In the end, just tell me. It's okay."
After experiencing the public opinion war against Cole in the newspaper, Sean clearly understood the seriousness of the problem.
Even if it is not a hostile force infiltrating the Demon Hunter.
It will also be the bureaucrats of the non-Baruch faction, playing tricks behind the scenes and adding to the flames.
A special minister with great power is enough to create a huge shock to the power structure of the entire demon hunting group.
Although.
Demon-hunter is also a person, keen to gossip some great characters, spreading their unreliable scandals.
This is such is human nature.
But linking these great characters, especially a great character who has just come to power and has an unstable foundation, with a witch or dark creature, is far more than just gossip after a meal.
Accounting to Shane, this matter must be kept strictly confidential.
Cole set out to hug him up.
Although he is not very sure whether Penny has given up the idea of ending her self, at least, he has saved the life of that old friend with heart.
