Chapter 366 - An Urgent Discussion With Mr. Wu (1/2)
”We need to find a man that's in the military. He met with Trojan when he visited, so he must know the location of the base. Judging by his uniform, he may even be a general or a senior officer of some sort.” Halia made this assumption based on the badges that were on the man's uniform. ”And, judging by his appearance, I think he was very likely Mongolian.”
”If we can find him, we may be able to track down the base,” Halia explained.
Trisha's eyes lit up when she heard this. ”Then, we better hurry!” she said.
”Do you have an artist there? I can try to describe the man's looks,” Halia suggested.
With a laugh, Trisha replied, ”You have one of the best artists there with you.”
”Huh?” Halia was confused for a moment before she realized who Trisha was referring to.
”Do you mean Jackson?” she asked.
Trisha smiled proudly. This was her idol they were talking about. ”Of course,” she replied.
Halia furrowed her brows. She had agreed to come to Guiyang City to get away from work. If Jackson found out she was working on another case, would he be mad? He had never been mad at her before.
”Stop hesitating. You better be quick. We have no time to waste,” Trisha urged before she abruptly hung up the phone.
Halia sighed.
At that moment, there was a slight tap on her office door. ”Everyone's gone already, what are you still doing here?” Natalie asked. Since Halia had complained about being bored, she assumed she would be the first one out of the office as soon as it hit 5pm. Who knew she'd still be here.
”Was it the work I gave you? It's exciting, right?” Natalie smiled.
Halia laughed helplessly as she grabbed her things and started walking out the door. ”Contact the ad agency. I'm not liking the suggestions they made. We need a spokesperson that has more say in the food and alcohol industry. I don't want just a pretty face...” Halia said.
Natalie looked at her friend and smiled with admiration. Although they had known each other for most of their lives, this was the first time she was actually working with her.
Ever since Halia cut her hair to disguise as Mars last time, it had grown up to her shoulders. Through her hair, Natalie could see a pair of simple, yet elegant diamond earrings that hung to almost the same length as her hair. These earrings made her bare neck look extra slim, and they accentuated her collar bone which was revealed by the off-shoulder business shirt she was wearing. The business was a light blue collar with faint vertical stripes that were 1-2 shades darker, and they paired perfectly with the white high-waisted skirt and nude heels that she wore underneath.
She had never seen her friend look like such a boss!
”Yes, Boss! I'll call them tomorrow!” Natalie said as she gave a salute.
Halia laughed. But, as soon as she stepped out of the building and headed for her car, she became serious again.
As she sat inside, she said to the driver, ”Hurry home, I have something urgent to discuss with Mr. Wu.”
