“Mmm hmm,” was his only reply.


    “Mmm hmm what? Something’s going on?”


    “Mmm hmm.”


    ‘My God, something’s bugging the tough guy.’ Realizing something,


    Talbot followed behind Wesley excitedly and asked, “What is it, Chief?


    Girl trouble? Let me guess-ir, right?”

    As soon as he finished talking, Wesley shot him a cold nce.


    “Go do a hundred burpees. Miss one and get two hundred more. And grab a few other guys to join you-


    anyone you think is worried.” He said thatst word with a sarcastic sneer.


    The grin on Talbot’s face died.


    “No way! ” All he had done was ask a few innocent questions.


    He wanted Wesley to reconsider his punishment. But he knew him. The more he talked, the worse it


    would get.


    Talbot went back to the training field in misery. What surprised him was that Wesley was right behind


    him.


    Under his confused gaze, Wesley began to do burpees.


    Talbot was taken aback. He realized that Wesley was hurting worse than he had initially thought.


    While Wesley was going through his calisthenic routine, his head was filled with thoughts of ir. Her


    face, her figure, her voice.


    Actually, he wasn’t depressed, but angry. He was pissed that he didn’t know what his heart wanted.


    When ir expressed her feelings for him, he turned her down; but now that she wasn’t around, she


    was all he could think of.


    So he took it out on himself by engaging in the most difficult training programs. He forced himself to


    focus on enhancing his strength and endurance. To make sure he wouldn’t ck off, he had even


    asked some of his soldiers to supervise him during the training.


    Soon, the New Year arrived. ir spent the holidays with the Jenkins family. She overheard Adalson


    say that Wesley had left the country for his hometown to celebrate the New Year.


    It had been one month since she saw himst. She didn’t know when she would be able to see him


    again.

    After the New Year, ir focused on preparing for the GRE test.


    She spent all her time studying. Joslyn had invited her out, maybe take a walk or go out dancing. She


    turned her down every time. One evening,


    ir realized she might be a nerd if she kept studying like that.


    Studying too Long without a break was the best way to fail.


    So when Joslyn asked her once more to go outside and have some fun, she said yes.
