Chapter 258 - Something Special (1/2)

After questioning the father and daughter, Halia walked out of the interrogation room feeling slightly emotional. After hearing what Officer Huang did for his daughter, she couldn't help but miss her father a little. It was sad that Officer Huang had chosen the wrong path, but parents sometimes did silly things for their children. Her father had also done many things for her growing up. Especially when he was a single parent. Fortunately, he never did anything illegal.

Halia suddenly felt a little proud of her father. It mustn't have been easy.

While she was deep in thought, she turned the corner and almost ran into a person that was leaning against the wall.

Halia jumped back in surprise and patted herself on the chest. ”Ahhh!” she screamed subconsciously.

She then scanned her eyes up to the person's face and realized it was Morton.

”Sorry for scaring you,” Morton said as he looked at Halia.

Halia smiled and shook her hands, ”It's not your fault. I was just thinking about something and got distracted.”

After Halia finished speaking, there was an awkward silence. That was when she realized, this was the first time she was officially speaking to him as Halia and not as Mars. What was she supposed to say?

”Have you finished giving your statement?” Halia asked awkwardly.

Morton nodded his head. ”What about you? Have you finished?” he asked back.

Halia also nodded.

But, she was a little confused. If he was finished with his statement, why didn't he go home? Why was he still here?

Was he...waiting for her?

”I assume you won't be returning to the law firm again...?” Morton asked with slight disappointment in his voice.

Halia smiled and shook her head, ”I've completed my mission.”

Morton looked down. ”Does that mean I'll never see you again?” he questioned further.

Halia patted the man on the shoulder, ”We are still friends. If you need anything, you can always contact me on my phone.”

As soon as Morton heard this, he saw a glimpse of hope. He quickly pulled out his phone and showed Halia a phone number, ”Will you still be using this number?”

Halia quickly glanced at Morton's phone and smiled, ”Yes, you can contact me anytime.”

Morton held onto his phone and a slight smile appeared on his face, ”Should I still call you Mars? Or do you have another name...?”

Halia hesitated for a second. If Morton had never met Haili Feng, she would have told him her name straight away, but after everything that happened between them, she didn't know how to explain that the heiress of Fengtai Corporation was actually an SPU agent...

”Promise that you won't tell anyone else about my identity,” Halia said as she raised her pinky finger.
