She couldn’t help but let out a sigh. He was never good with sweet or romantic words. He only showed
his resolve with actions.
On the night of the evening show, ir and Wesley arrived at the military camp together. The other
soldiers mored at the sight of the two together.
Wesley scanned the faces of the soldiers around him and then proceeded to introduce ir with so
muchposure.
“Everyone, this is my friend, ir Johnson.”
Of the numerous men that worked under Wesley, there was one whom ir didn’t know. He seemed
quite frank with the man since he teased excitedly, “Chief, I remember you saying she’s Lieutenant
General
Jenkins’ niece thest time she came here. Now you’re telling us she’s your friend. So by next time, will
she be your girlfriend?”
The entire group burst intoughter except ir and Wesley. One was shy, the other stoic.
“Yes, exactly! Chief, we’re supposed to bring a family member here tonight. And you’ve brought ir
here! We all understand what that means. So I guess you should just be honest with us!” another
soldier echoed and added to ir’s misery.
“Chief, in any case, we all know what ir means to you!” the soldiers said in union.
As the rumble of cheer and exmation grew Louder with every passing sentence, ir’s face got
hotter and redder in shyness. She was trying her best to maintain a polite smile on her lips but it was
getting increasingly difficult. On the other hand, Wesley had kept a calm face throughout the torture,
betraying no emotions, as if he weren’t the talk of the soldiers.
“Cut the crap! ALL of you! Go do whatever you’ve been told to do. If you continue with this nonsense,
then be ready for extra training sessions,” he ordered coldly as he scanned the men around him.

“While everyone else is enjoying the show!” he added, seeing a grin that still hadn’t faded on one of the
soldier’s faces.
The entire group immediately turned around in one uniform motion and dispersed. As they ran off, ir
heard someone say, “Come on guys, run! Retreat quickly! Chief’s got hundreds of ways to torture you
to death!”
ir chuckled under her breath as she saw them flee. It felt quite liberating! Wesley shifted his eyes
towards her.
“Come to my office first.”
“Yes, Colonel Wesley.” ir saluted him yfully since there was nobody else around them now and
they could be as cute as they wanted.
Wesley grinned, and then told her in a stern voice, “Your salute isn’t right. It’s too far below the
standards. Want me to train you?” Thest sentence was less stern and felt more evil than it should
have!

“Oh! No, no… I’m heading to your office right now! I am never saluting you again!” As she dropped
those words, ir took to her heels, running as fast as she could. She didn’t even look back. Based on
how strict Wesley was with his subordinates, she knew for sure that he wouldn’t let her pass the bar so
easily. For all intents and purposes, it would easily take her about a couple of weeks just to learn how
to salute. So, of course she wasn’t going to let him train her.
On her way to Wesley’s office, ir bumped into Adalson and unable to protest, was taken to his office
instead.
Adalson slumped down in his chairfortably and told her, “I had a hunch you would be here tonight.
And boy was I right! Here you are!”
Embarrassed, ir tried to exin, “I don’t go to work these days. I feel bored staying at home all day
Long, so I’vee to see tonight’s show.”
And although she didn’t point out the person who had brought her,
Adalson clearly knew the answer without even asking.
He thought about something for a moment, and suddenly said, “You know what? I’LL have someone
make a little change in the programs. You are going to sing a song tonight.”
ir widened her eyes in shock.
