Gloria rubbed her head in distress, feeling a little dizzy.
At her age, it is a bit difficult for her to read such information that can be compared to "after-school homework". Compared with other people, the nutrients in her brain are probably grown elsewhere, and her brain is really not as good as her younger ones.
Human aura.
She raised her head and looked at the people who were concentrating on studying the information. An idea came to her mind, so she asked the others softly:
"It's a bit late now. Do you want some late-night snacks? If you want, I can go out and buy some."
"Supper? Mom, are you treating me?" Hearing that there was a late night snack, David raised his head almost as quickly as a conditioned reflex and looked at his mother.
Seeing her son reacting so violently, Gloria's smile gradually faded, and her gentle expression became slightly stiff.
David scratched his head and understood that his behavior just now was a bit rude, so he smiled awkwardly, hoping to relieve his mother's depression.
Gloria glared at David with some reproach, and continued to ask the others with a smile:
"It's my treat. You can tell us what you want to eat. After all, if we don't finish reading these materials tonight, Lin Mo probably won't let us go back to rest."
Everyone is convinced of this.
Although Lin Mo usually does not make it difficult for them in terms of salary and daily work, it can even be said that if they have no tasks, they will have no problem lying down at home.
But if they encounter a mission, no matter what urgent matters they have at hand, Lin Mo will ask them to read through the plans and intelligence materials sent to them in the shortest possible time.
Not only that, once the plan changes temporarily, even in the middle of the night, Lin Mo will ask them to memorize it within a few hours.
Faced with such a strict requirement, everyone also knew the reason why his boss did this, that is, he was very good at finding the right "opportunity". Once the time was right, he would immediately ask everyone to take action, with almost no warning.
"Thank you, ma'am. I can just eat whatever I want. By the way, I remember I haven't finished the drinks from the last party,"
Kitagawa Hiroshi pondered for a while but did not refuse Gloria's request. He was astute and saw that the lady was asking for a late night snack, but in fact she wanted to go outside to enjoy the breeze.
Gloria continued to look at the two women at the table and asked with a smile: "What about you?"
Sasha and Lucy looked at each other, nodded almost in unison, and said in unison: "I have no objection."
"Okay, just wait here for a while. It shouldn't take long."
Gloria stood up gracefully, nodded slightly to everyone, and then walked outside.
However, just a few steps out, she seemed to have thought of something, turned around and grabbed David's ear.
Amid the latter's unexplained wailing, the mother and son, who had deep feelings for each other, walked downstairs without saying a word.
Shortly after the two left, Kitagawa Hiroshi immediately stood up and said goodbye to Lucy and Sasha:
"I'm also going to go down and get some drinks. Ladies, please wait here for a while."
As three people left in succession, the conference room fell into a brief silence, leaving only two white-haired women sitting facing each other in the huge space.
It was simply a God-given coincidence. Such a rare time for the two of them to be alone. Their minds were not focused on the data and information passing by on the data panel. Instead, they looked at each other meaningfully. The two white hairs were like white hair in the dark night.
Two bright arc moons compete for brightness, unwilling to be outdone.
"There are only two of us left..." Sasha muttered to himself inexplicably, with a warm smile on his lips. There was both a cat-like agility and a cat's wildness between his brows and eyes.
Cats' wild nature is usually only shown when protecting food.
Lucy's expression was calm and calm, and she did not move at all because of Sasha's words. She just gave a simple hum and asked:
"What's wrong with this?"
"I want to talk to you. After all, there are not many occasions like this." Sasha requested softly.
"What do you want to talk about?" Lucy put her eyes on the whiteboard nearby, her eyes wandering away from the words and pictures on it, pretending not to care.
But anyone with a discerning eye can see that her mind is not on the whiteboard, but immersed in the conversation with the woman opposite.
"He." Sasha said one word with an emphasis.
Lucy's eyes moved slightly and her eyelashes trembled slightly, but the expression on her face remained as calm as the moon reflected on the lake.
She subconsciously reached into her pocket, as if she wanted to take out a cigarette, but the next second her action of taking out the cigarette froze midway, she retracted her hand angrily, and said in a calm tone:
"What's there to talk about...doesn't he pay you a salary? Or does he ask you to do some work that is difficult to talk about?"
Sasha shook his head calmly, pursed his lips, smiled slightly, and changed the subject without any reason:
"I actually envy you, Lucy."
"Envy me? Wait, aren't we talking about him? Why did it suddenly come to my head?" Lucy was a little surprised.
Like a samurai sharpening his weapon in battle, she had already prepared a plan for how to respond to what Sasha might say next, but the other party suddenly changed the subject and pointed the finger at her, which made her a little unable to adapt.
Sasha didn't show off, she put her elbows on the table, held her pretty face, stared at Lucy and slowly said the reason:
"That night, you went on that mission with him. Although I don't know what happened to you and him in the Arasaka seaside area, your attitude towards him seems to have changed a lot since that day...I
I rarely see you arguing in front of him anymore."
Lucy pulled her hair, frowned slightly, and said a little carelessly:
"After all, after that night, I became a regular worker from a temporary job. I can't show off my temper in front of him like before. He is in charge of our wages."
"So I envy you very much. Compared to you, I have been in the team for so long and I have never been on a mission with him. It's the same this time. He still likes to act alone..." Sasha sighed.
"But I heard from other people that when you were in Mann's team, didn't you act with him before?" Lucy looked into her eyes.
Sasha smiled softly and said meaningfully: "At that time, it was different from now. I only regarded him as a new junior in the industry, and seeing that he had a good personality, I wanted to take care of him and have sex with him.
Good relationship, this way you can have one more friend..."
Lucy raised her eyebrows, narrowed her eyes and looked at Sasha, asking: "What about now? Is there any difference?"
"I like him!"
Sasha didn't hesitate at all, her eyes widened a bit, and she spoke in a firm tone, looking at Lucy without any sign of weakness.
Lucy's expression froze and her eyes focused.
After a few seconds, her eyes gradually relaxed and she asked a little nonchalantly:
"No wonder, I've heard about you two, he saved you,"
"If it's just because you saved my life, then I'm afraid I will only be grateful and have a favorable impression, rather than like..." Sasha lowered his head and whispered:
"But what happened that night was indeed an opportunity for me to focus more on him and discover more shining points in him... How should I put it, everyone is like this, right?
If you like someone, you will feel that the other person is sincere no matter how you look at it; if you don’t like it, you will feel that the other person is hypocritical no matter how you look at it.”
"He's just so-so." Lucy said casually.
Sasha covered her mouth and chuckled, asking a little funny:
"Do you really think so?"
Lucy was slightly startled, subconsciously recalling what he had done and his usual way of doing things.
He is free and easy, does not care about small money, he must do something when he sees it, and he will never affect other people if he can do his best. He can always see other people's thoughts and then help, but he will not let others bear too much burden.
psychological burden...
Halfway through the thought, she seemed to notice something was wrong. Lucy quickly threw these thoughts out of her mind and said without changing her face:
"That's it."
"If you really think so, then I'll be relieved...I won't hide it from you anymore. After this action is over, I want to confess to him." A gentle smile flashed across Sasha's face.
There was only silence in response to her.
Lucy lowered her head and looked at the floor, her eyes wandering as if she was thinking about something, and did not answer Sasha's words.
After watching her remain silent for a long time, Sasha raised her lips slightly and continued:
"Actually, I never thought that I would be entangled for so long. After all, in our line of work, hesitation is the most important thing... But when facing him, I will hesitate because until now, in addition to knowing that he has great
Qian, I don’t know anything about his identity..."
"His identity is very mysterious, and he is so generous with his actions. His identity and background will never be simple. Because of this, the probability of a cyber hacker like me being attracted by him..." At this point, Sasha's tone changed.
Gotta be a little bitter:
"After all, we and he are not from the same world."
"Then why do you want to confess this to him now?" Lucy asked with a frown.
"Because I have a hunch that if I don't say it again, I may not have the chance to say it again in the future..." Sasha's expression darkened.
...
The balcony on the second floor.
Lin Mo sneezed without missing a beat, and the movement was so big that even Jack standing next to him was startled.
"Damn it, Lin Mo, you probably caught a cold just from standing here blowing the wind, right?" the big man from Heywood said matter-of-factly.
Lin Mo glanced at him and said helplessly:
"I'm not that fragile yet."
With his current physical attributes, if he could catch a cold from this little cold wind, it would be an embarrassment to mankind.
"It's probably because some dust got into my nose, it's a little itchy." Lin Mo rubbed his nose and waved his hand: "It's a small matter, by the way. Didn't I just say that I have something to talk to you about in advance?"
"Well, listen, what's the matter?" Jack also subconsciously rubbed his nose, feeling that he was itchy too.
Lin Mo took a deep breath and then said:
"After this operation, I will choose to leave for a while."
"Leave? What do you mean?" Jack raised his eyebrows with a look of astonishment on his face.
"I will only tell a few people about this. Don't tell others. As for the reason, can't you guess it? Mr. Mo Ying has a bounty on his head now. Even if I can publish it,
Even if the person with the bounty is killed, the money will still be hanging around." Lin Mo said calmly.
Jack pondered for a while and sighed: "I understand."
This is indeed the case.
Even if the big shot who issued the bounty dies, the bounty will not change and will still be hanging over his head.
The bounty might even be doubled, because once that big shot dies, no matter who the other person is, his family, relatives and even family members will not easily bypass Lin Mo.
They are used to being aloof and don't want anyone to put a sharp knife on their necks.
"What about the others? Is there any point in hiding it from them?"
