Guards rubbed the paper in their hands, slightly nodded, dropped a sentence, and walked away expressionlessly:
“Remember, you only have 10 minutes.”
As the guards walked away, Sully leaned towards the door, tears glistening in her eyes.
Wiping her tears, she whispered:
“Jarvis, have you been treated unfairly? I have settled things with the guards outside, and they promised to deliver food and drinks to you on time… ” Noland Lee sighed inwardly.
The charm of his current appearance was astonishingly powerful, at least three times as effective as an ordinary person’s. The ‘charm’ was indeed deadly.
To be honest, such a ‘charm’ level wouldn’t be considered extraordinary in the city district. There were many handsome men and beautiful women there, and everyone had ways to vent their loneliness.
But in the strict and disciplined Legion Fortress, it was enough to enchant every lonely woman.
Facing Sully, who was completely infatuated, Noland Lee shook his head and interrupted her:
“Sully. Thank you for doing so much for me. Thank you.”
“What…” Sully’s expression froze, her mouth opened, and her tears flowed even heavier.
Noland Lee slowly approached the door and said:
“But you must understand that we are impossible. I knew that from the beginning. I admit, your appearance, figure, knowledge, and profession are impeccable. If we were at a different time, in a different place, with different identities, we might have had a better outcome.
“But now, Sully, face reality. Don’t waste your time and money on a troublesome person like me. It will not only cause you pain but also add to my burden.
“My existence is a mistake, so let’s end it here.”
Sully covered her mouth, lowered her head, and tears streamed down her face:
“I know, Jarvis. I have known about your situation from the Chief Officer for a long time. I also know that there would be no end to our relationship, but I still want to do something.”
Unrequited love is somewhat similar to wetting one’s pants.
Everyone can smell the scent of unrequited love, but only the person wearing the wet pants can feel the warmth…
Although this analogy was crude, it was not wrong…
Facing Sully, who cried even harder, Noland Lee raised his hand and knocked on the door:
“Sully, tell me, what time is it now?”
Sully tried to stop crying, rummaging through the purse and taking out a mechanical clock:
“Now… now it’s 9:30 PM.”
“What is the safest place in the Legion Fortress, where the ‘Imperial Fist’ is always guarded?” Noland Lee asked again.
“The armory and the medicine warehouse are the safest… the medicine warehouse is located deep inside the Medical Department, and there will be several Lieutenants guarding it. ”
After thinking for two seconds, Noland Lee said:
“…Alright, I understand. Your time is almost up, you should go. We are done here, understand? Do not get too attached to me. You will meet someone more suitable in the future.”
Sully cried some more, covering her face with both hands and sobbing.
