"No one is perfect in Gion. Even a perfect man like me has to have some hobbies.”
Adam Lys wanted to pat Gion on the shoulder, but the latter took a step back silently and frowned.
He didn't feel awkward and retracted his actions. He took a deep puff of his cigar and smiled.
" Look at me, I'm shouldering the heavy responsibility of being the Commander-in-Chief of the North Sea. There are countless military affairs waiting for me to handle every day. Tens of millions of people in the North Sea are counting on me to protect their personal safety and property..."
"I'm carrying such heavy pressure. As a man, what's wrong with having a little hobby?”
"Besides, the deputy who originally followed me had no choice but to stay in place because of your sudden appearance.”
" And you just came to Beihai and don't know anything. I have to deal with all the military affairs by myself…"
"The pressure on me is getting bigger and bigger.”
As he said that, Adam Lys 'flawless face revealed a hint of sadness and vicissitudes, as if he couldn't bear the burden.
He looked calmly at the beautiful face in front of him, and a hint of loneliness flashed in the depths of his pitch-black pupils.
Gion stared blankly at Adam Lys's expression. For some reason, his heart suddenly trembled, and he felt a trace of guilt and heartache.
Yeah,
Before she came to Beihai to take up her job, she had seen Adam Royce's personal file in the headquarters.
This man did not have any background or family background. He had climbed from the bottom of the army to his current position with great difficulty.
Although Gion was the second generation of an official, born with a superior background and had never experienced the hardships of the world, she could imagine how heart-wrenching the bitterness was hidden behind this seemingly frivolous and licentious man.
From a low-level navy soldier with no background to the head of the Beihai military, what kind of effort did he have to put in?
Perhaps he had also suffered a lot of unknown pain under his unrestrained and unrestrained exaggerated lifestyle?
Furthermore, his arrival did not help Adam Lys at all.
On the contrary, he often made mistakes in mediating military affairs and national conflicts, and in the end, Adam Lys was the one who took the blame for him.
If it weren't for his interference, he would probably be under a lot less pressure with the help of his original assistant, right?
Thinking of this, Gion's heart softened.
"Adam Lys, I'm sorry. Actually, I didn't mean to blame you-"
She raised her head and was about to say some words of self-reproach and comfort, but she was stunned.
The damn handsome guy in front of him had a teasing smile on his face and was looking at him with an interested expression.
"You bastard!"
Gion immediately understood. Shame, embarrassment, humiliation…all kinds of emotions intertwined in her heart, making her so embarrassed that she almost dug out a living room and two rooms with her toes.
"I already told you not to use your damned Demon Fruit ability on me!!”
But before she could react, the man in front of her had already pushed her long knife back into the scabbard.
Immediately after, the figure leaned forward. Gion could not withstand it at all. He was knocked back by a gentle force.
She felt a chill on her back. She was already pressed against the wall of the hotel corridor.
"What do you want to do-"
She wanted to struggle, but she was angry and shocked.
However, a devilish face full of mysterious charm was already tightly pressed in front of her. The two of them were so close that they could even feel each other's warm breath.
Gion grew up in the headquarters and was held in the palm of Staff Officer He's hand. How could he have experienced such a situation?
This man's boldness and recklessness made her heart beat rapidly, and her mind gradually went blank.
Especially at such a distance, she could clearly see the deep eyes of that face. It was as if there was a mysterious magic that made people unable to help but fall into it.
The man's mysterious and wild aura made her feel weak all over.
But for some reason,
Looking at that face, she did not have the strength to push him away.
Her face, which was so beautiful that it could topple a country, gradually turned red.
Her body suddenly stiffened and she didn't dare to move anymore.
Because a fair and slender finger had already gently lifted her chin.
"Since you can understand my pressure, why are you still angry at me?”
Adam Lys smiled wickedly and narrowed his eyes.
"I…I…"
Gion stammered, unable to complete a sentence.
Adam Lys chuckled.
"Are you jealous?"
Gion was now clear-headed and immediately said angrily,
" How is this possible?!"
"Why would I be jealous of someone like you?”
"Whatever you do has nothing to do with me!!”
After she finished speaking, she snorted heavily as if she was cheering herself on.
