However, Solo remained where he was.
Suddenly, he said, “Is the gadget broken? I’ll take a look at it.”
He looked around the room before looking in the direction where the sound was coming from. There, he spotted a black box. He went over, opened the box, and began to study the electrical wiring inside.
As he did, he remarked, “This is an outdated version. They don’t set up new ones like this anymore, so she certainly has been tricked. Here, I’ll update the system.”
While he spoke, he started to get down to work.
Brenda opened and then shut her mouth as she looked at him, hesitant to speak. When she was about to say something, Solo said, “To be honest, you don’t have to feel so guilty about it. I’m the one who caused his death. If someone must make up for it, then I should be the one doing it, not you. You really don’t have to... make up for it with the rest of your entire life.”
Brenda shut her mouth.
To be honest, she didn’t feel like she had done anything wrong. But when she got engaged to Solo, Marcus’ mother had approached her, stared straight into her eyes, and asked, “Are you getting engaged when my son died for you?”
Because of that, she couldn’t bring herself to say those words anymore.
She felt awfully guilty and horrible, which made her give up thinking about the matter altogether. She threw herself into her work and used it to numb herself.
All her missions had actually been highly dangerous the last few years, and she had suffered grievous injuries as a result. Sometimes, she even wondered if all of this would end if she just gave her life back to Marcus?
But this was impossible...
She took a deep breath. At this point, Nora suddenly grabbed her arm.
She said, “Come with me.”
Her words took Brenda by surprise.
Solo didn’t pay them any attention but continued to fix the black box instead.
Brenda then left the villa with Nora.
This time, Justin didn’t follow them.
After making Brenda get into the passenger seat, Nora took out her cell phone and dialed Morris’ number.
Morris soon picked up the call.
His voice was calm and steady as he asked, “Is something the matter, Nora?”
“Can I come over to the special department?”
Morris’ voice deepened a little as he answered, “You are always welcome here.”
Nora hung up.
Next to her, Brenda, who wanted to lighten up the mood, remarked, “Are you sure you should be flirting with another man in front of me, Nora? Aren’t you afraid that Justin would be jealous?”
Nora didn’t answer her.
Her stern demeanor made Brenda drop the flippant act, and she didn’t dare to joke around anymore.
Soon, they arrived at the special department.
Nora stopped the car, got out with Brenda, and entered from the main entrance.
Morris, who was in his office, was standing at the window and watching them.
His secretary came in and asked, “It’s time to knock off, Captain Ford. Aren’t you leaving?”
“No, I still have something to do.”
Morris replied.
Surprised, the secretary asked, “Is there a case that needs our attention? Do you need my help? We...”
“No, it’s fine. You guys can go.”
“... Alright, then.”
The secretary didn’t know why Morris, who usually knocked off on the dot, was working overtime today, but she was greatly relieved that she didn’t have to work overtime along with him.
Thus, everyone left the office.
Nora entered the special department with Brenda. The latter had once worked there for a period of time, so she knew everyone there and was on good terms with them. After greeting them all, she finally asked, “Where are we going, Nora?”
As soon as she popped the question, Nora stopped in front of a door with Brenda. She gazed at the door and then answered, “We’re here.”
She pushed the door open.
When Brenda got a clear look at the room, she was stunned.
