    ine moved the umbre to his side a little bit more and said, "Your shoulder and arm are all wet."


    Ian squinted and replied, "It’s fine."


    Sitting in the car, ine watched as he ran over to the driving side and got into the car.


    "You should’ve waited for me at the restaurant since it’s raining."

    I She did not understand why he had gone to the extent ofing here to pick her up himself.


    "Well, I’m the one who wants to buy you dinner," he replied as he buckled up.


    "So, I need to show some sincerity."


    ine looked at him but did not say anything.


    Both of them walked into a restaurant.


    Although it was not an up-scaled restaurant, the ambiance was cozy and quiet.


    The waiter led them to their private room on the second floor and handed the menu to ine with a


    smile on his face.


    ine took the menu and looked at Ian.


    "Do you have any rmendations?"


    He looked at her and chuckled.


    "Well, it depends on what you want to eat, Ms.Xavier."


    ine then ordered the dishes under the exnation of the waiter.


    After the waiter left, she looked around andmented, "I like this ce.It’s quiet."


    After all, most restaurants were noisy and filled with people.


    Ian smiled and replied, "That’s what everyone said after they came here."


    She looked at Ian and asked, "In other words, you''ve brought many people here before, Mr.Saldana?"


    "Yeah," Ian replied, "Customers, colleagues, bosses ?"


    He poured himself a cup of tea and looked at her with a smile on his face.


    "Does that count?"


    ine was stunned.She responded to him with a smile and did not say anything.


    "Ian, it’s really you!"


    A muscr man appeared outside of the private room.


    He was holding a walkie-talkie, and it seemed t o ine that he was the manager of this restaurant.He


    walked over to talk to Ian for a while before his gaze fell on ine.


    "Girlfriend?"


    Ian’s hand holding the cup froze for a moment before he replied, "Nope.We’re just friends."


    ine nodded and smiled at the man as well.


    The man patted his shoulder and continued.


    "I thought she was your girlfriend.By the way, I couldn''t believe you would resign.You could be


    promoted to deputy director if you worked for another two years."


    However, it seemed like Ian did not want to answer his question.


    "But your job is dangerous.Being an undercover agent isn''t easy, and you''ll lose your life at the slightest


    slip-up.I truly admire you from the bottom of your heart.Although it''s a pity that you''ve resigned, it''s also


    a good thing since you can finally live a normal life.You can get a wife and get married."


    Ian chuckled.


    "I didn’t know that you’re so talkative."


    The man put his arm on his shoulder and continued.


    "Well, it has been a long time since west saw each other.If I hadn’t seen your name on the booking


    list .."


    He suddenly paused and looked at ine.


    As if he realized something, he said to her apologetically, "I’m sorry, miss.I just can’t help myself."


    ine replied with a smile, "It’s fine."


    At that moment, Ian’s phone rang, and he went out to answer the call.


    "Sir, you just said that Mr.Saldana was an undercover agent?"


    ine had been feeling that he was mysterious and was curious about him.


    The man asked in return.


    "I thought you’re friends? Did Ian not tell you before?"


    "Well, I wouldn’t say we’re friends."


    ine said after she thought for a while, "I’m a guest in his coffee shop."


    "I see..." replied the man.


    Seeing that ine was curious about Ian, he continued with a smile.


    "It has been a long time.After Ian graduated from the police academy, he was assigned to the narcotics


    department on the eastern side.


    At that time, he was a hot-blooded young man.


    In order to gain the boss’ trust, he became an undercover agent and joined the drug smugglers.


    He was sessful, and the boss trusted him a lot.


    "The boss didn’t suspect him at all, and Ian sessfully raided all eight drug possession sites and


    destroyed all of them in just two years.After that, he was assigned to the serious crime unit in Rowel


    City.Due to his excellent performance, he went to the ministry and soon became the higher-ups''


    undercover agent, and he would be sent to the side of those corrupted bigwigs."
