Chapter 46: Forgiveness
There is moonlight in front of the bed, and two pairs of shoes on the ground——
Well, Rock didn’t know why they were just drinking and chatting, but they ended up chatting in the hotel room without realizing it.
Sadly, Rock seemed to be in a state of disarray, with no memory of last night. However, Ada, who curled up beside him like a kitten, could prove that this "rose" that seemed to have never been picked by anyone had already happened to Rock...
Ada in the early morning was as pitiful as the jasmine in the morning. She curled up on the bed, as if she was protecting herself even in her sleep. Her long eyelashes trembled slightly. It was unknown what she was dreaming about. Her originally lazy hairstyle was now a mess, just like the messy clothes on the floor. Rock moved slightly and woke Ada up.
"Good morning." Ada's voice was a little hoarse. It was true - drinking hurts the throat.
"Morning!" Rock felt his mouth a little dry.
Well, it definitely wasn't because the quilt slipped slightly when Ada was fixing her hair.
Compared with Rock, Ada looked much more experienced. She casually said to Rock, "Please close the door when you leave," and went to the bathroom wrapped in a quilt.
Well, if Ada 's voice hadn't been trembling, Rock would have believed it.
Let's go, but as fate would have it, Rock left the Table Mountain Bar and went to the flower shop to order a bouquet of flowers, asking the clerk to deliver it to Ms. Ada of the Table Mountain Bar .
In fact, the word "Ms." is not appropriate, and Rock doesn't know how old Ada is, but based on Rock's experience, Ada should be no older than 25 years old, so it seems more appropriate to use "Miss."
Forget it, just call her Madam. The word Miss leaves Rock with some psychological trauma.
When he arrived at the police station, before he even entered the door, Rock saw Henry with a jealous look on his face.
"Damn it, don't you want to be poured with alcohol? Then where did you go last night?" Henry was burning with jealousy. If he knew he couldn't beat Rock, Henry would have torn Rock to pieces.
Well, actually Henry didn’t use the word “fucking shit”. The word Henry used was much dirtier than “fucking shit”, which fully shows how jealous Henry is, and also proves from the side how popular Ada is.
"It's none of your business!" Rock was not polite either. Come on, let's hurt each other.
"I woke up this morning and found myself sleeping on the floor of the bar. You bastard, you were nowhere to be seen. Tell me, were you with Ada last night?" Henry was determined not to let Rock go easily.
on the floor--
So miserable!
"Sorry, I don't remember what happened last night either." Rock told the truth, not wanting to rub salt into Henry's wounds.
"Don't remember?" Henry obviously didn't believe it.
"I really don't remember!" Rock said frankly. Of course, there was no need for Rock to confess what happened in the morning .
"Wahahahaha, then you really deserve it. Your spring dream is gone without a trace, what a pity." Henry's expression did not look regretful. It seemed that there was no difference between going to a treasure mountain and coming out empty-handed, and not entering the treasure mountain at all.
"But when I woke up in the morning--" Rock stopped talking halfway, making Henry very anxious.
"And then?" Henry gritted his teeth.
"Haha, good morning." Rock swore to God that he did not lie, but Henry obviously did not believe him.
"Damn it, tell me quickly, were you sleeping with Ada when you woke up in the morning? God, how can this guy be so lucky? Hey, Locke, how is Ada's figure--" Henry felt like a hundred cats were scratching in his heart, he couldn't bear it, he couldn't bear it.
Rock didn't say a word, but the expression on his face clearly showed that he was savoring the taste, and it was obvious that he wanted to make Henry envious to death.
"Locke--" Anton was waiting for Rock in Rock's office. Although he looked haggard, he was in high spirits.
"Tell me, damn it, where did you go last night?" Henry was going crazy, but he didn't want to think about it. If Rock really told him what happened, Henry would probably be even more painful.
"Come in Henry, I have good news to tell you." Seeing that there was no one around, Rock pulled Henry into the room.
"What? Did you really sleep in the same bed with Ada--" Henry was wailing and didn't hear what Rock said at all.
"Shut up, Henry. Our chance to get promoted and make a fortune has come--" Rock pressed Henry on the chair and told him the whole story about the existence of those rebels.
"Is the intelligence confirmed? Then what are you waiting for? Go kill them." Henry behaved the same as Anton. No wonder as a descendant of aristocracy, he only became a small sheriff after leaving the military system.
"No, we can't do that now--" Rock was not in a hurry and laid out his plan.
After listening to Rock's plan, Henry sat in his chair like a fool, muttering to himself: "I feel like , I understand--"
"What did you understand?" Rock nodded secretly. Not bad, better than Anton.
"I understand why Ada likes you--" Henry's answer was enough to piss Rock off to death. How much resentment did he have that he couldn't even suppress the news of promotion and wealth.
But it is obvious that Henry is not stupid. Anyone who can attract the general's daughter must be more or less capable. What's more, as a British, Henry is much braver than Rock. After listening to Rock's plan, Henry's ideas are even more extreme than Rock's.
"Do you know what they are going to use to create chaos?" Henry seemed to want to add fuel to the fire.
"I don't know, but there shouldn't be any weapons of mass destruction, maybe some pistols." Rock was not sure about the rebels' weapons and equipment, but they should be better than the Boers who attacked the police in Cape Town, so they should have pistols.
"With only a pistol, we can't cause much damage--" Henry rubbed the stubble on his chin, wanting to get more credit.
"It's not that there is a solution, but it might cause trouble. I can ask someone to send them some high-powered weapons, but there's a chance that the information will be leaked." Rock didn't say anything absolute. In fact, it would be easy to avoid leaking the information. All he had to do was kill all the people who knew about it.
Henry also thought of this, but did not say it out loud. The risk was indeed a bit high.
"Okay, leave this to me." Rock took the initiative to take responsibility. It was Rock who had to carry out the officer training program.
"Good brother, I will not forget you, I forgive you." Henry had just said a few nice words when he started talking nonsense again.
"What do you forgive me for?" Rock was curious, as if Rock had not offended Henry.
"I forgive you for sleeping in the same bed with Ada. That's the dream of every man in Cape Town." Henry said righteously, but Rock was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Ada is not Lacey, does she need your forgiveness?
