Chapter 1859


    Adrienne raised her hand and touched her cheek where Jefferson had just kissed her. She felt that


    her cheeks were burning.


    When Jefferson first came here, Quill had advised them to separate business from pleasure. It had


    only been a while, but Jefferson openly treated her this way. If someone else were to see it, they


    would be in trouble.

    However, she couldn''t decide what other people wanted to say. As long as she knew that she and


    Jefferson had nothing to hide about their rtionship, she didn''t have to care about what other


    people think of them.


    Adrienne stopped thinking about it and nned to collect the autopsy report. Unexpectedly, she


    bumped into Zelson the moment she turned around. She greeted, "Mr. Zelson..."


    Zelson stood at the door of her office, and his eyes were fixed on her. His eyes were solemn, and


    no one knew what he was thinking. He did not respond even when Adrienne greeted him. She


    called out again, "Mr. Zelson, you''re back."


    "Yes." Zelson came to his senses. He calmed down and responded, "I just came back. I heard that


    there is a new case, so I came to ask you for information. What is the situation now? Are there any


    findings?"


    "The time of death is confirmed but we are still waiting for the report for the cause of death."


    Adrienne did not know that Zelson had happened to see Jefferson kissing her moments ago so


    when Zelson asked about work, she went on to answer without any qualms.


    Zelson had been ordered by his superior to attend a conference two days ago. As soon as he


    returned, he wanted to learn about the rotten body case from Adrienne. However, he did not expect


    that he would run into such a scene.


    Seeing the silent protest from Jefferson, Zelson seemed to understand something from before. He


    was directed to attend the conference when another leader was being appointed. Zelson wouldn''t


    believe that it had nothing to do with Jefferson.


    Jefferson was really wary of Zelson. When Jefferson first joined the Paramount Criminal Police


    Team, he had been trying to transfer Zelson to another team. Perhaps that was Jefferson''s


    condition for joining the Paramount Criminal Police Team.


    Adrienne waspletely focused on her work so she didn''t notice what was going on between the


    two. She quickly exined the autopsy progress to Zelson. Zelson listened but he was distracted.


    When Adrienne finished, he did not ask about work, but asked apletely irrelevant question


    instead. "Adrienne, do you really know what it is that you want in your heart?"


    Adrienne did not expect this question from Zelson and was confused. "What do you mean?"


    In the past, Zelson would always beat around the bush, hoping that Adrienne would eventually


    understand his feelings for her. Now, he had no time to do that anymore. "I mean your love life."


    "Uh..." Adrienne didn''t want to talk about her private matters during working hours, and she was


    also embarrassed to share her rtionship problems with a man. She quickly deflected, "Mr.


    Zelson, that''s a private matter. We shouldn''t be talking about it during work."


    "Adrienne, you are always like this. You''ll never do anything personal when you''re at work." Zelson


    raised his hand and wanted to rub her head, but he felt that this was inappropriate, so he quietly


    withdrew his hand.


    Adrienne said, "In fact, I did learn a lot from you. You never do personal things at work, so I have to


    abide by them firmly."


    In the past two years, Zelson never taught any of the good habits to her directly, but when she


    followed him around, she naturally picked them up.


    Zelson shook his head and argued, "There are many unwritten rules in our society. If everyone''s


    doing it and someone decides not to do it, even if it''s right, it would feel out of ce because it''s


    different... Can you tell who''s right or wrong then?"


    Adrienne replied, "Wrong is wrong, right is right. If you do wrong, it won''t be right just because


    many people are doing it. If something''s right, it won''t be wrong because many people have


    done wrong. Isn''t there a saying? That the truth is in the hands of the few?"


    Zelson looked straight at Adrienne. She did not look like she had changed, but something felt


    different. He stared at her and finally realized what was different about her. She had be more


    talkative.


    Needless to say, Jefferson must have been the reason for the change.


    "Adrienne, take some time to think about it. It would help if you didn''t live life in a blur. Do you get


    me?" Zelson didn''t know why he was saying this. He regretted it as soon as he mentioned these


    words.


    No matter his intention, his words made it sound like he wanted to steal her from Jefferson. Even if


    he wanted to do so, he had his own considerations.


    Adrienne replied, "Mr. Zelson, there''s also a saying about this. Ignorance is bliss."


    Zelson smiled in satisfaction this time. "Little girl, you''ve grown up."


    "I''m ttered," Adrienne chuckled.


    Zelson added, "Adrienne, although that''s right, there wille a time where you have to be clear of


    everything that''s going on."


    Adrienne wasn''t exactly sure of what he was talking about, so she asked, "I''m actually confused.


    What should I be doing? I don''t understand."


    If someone else said this, it was possible for them to be pretending when they already understood


    it. However, Adrienne was a little slow. When she confessed that she didn''t understand it, the


    people who knew her knew that she wasn''t lying.


    Zelson felt helpless but also thought that she was adorable. Although she was a bit slow, she could


    do her job well. "It''s okay. Just continue working hard."


    Adrienne argued, "You''ve already told me to work hard many times. I will remember that and never


    forget it."


    Zelson smiled andplimented her, "Adrienne, in the past few years, although you are not my


    only disciple, you''re the one I''m most satisfied with. Now that you can do things independently, I can


    finally rest assured."


    "I still have a lot to learn from you. I''m still far from being able to do it all by myself." Once again,


    Adrienne did not understand the meaning behind Zelson''s words. He understood her and had to


    say, "I''ve been transferred to the Chatterton Criminal Police Team. There will be fewer opportunities


    for us to work together in the future."


    "Wh-what? It''s so sudden. I-1..." The news of Zelson being transferred away came out of nowhere.


    Adrienne couldn''t believe it and was dumbfounded.
