Chapter 290

Hear Cole's serious, but like a playboy fiddling with a woman's heartstrings.

Penny couldn't help laughing.

"So... Mr. Minister, are we dating now? I may like you a little in advance, but I'm far from agreeing to sleep with you."

The funny but explicit words of the female demon hunter.

It didn't change Cole's expression of lack of emotional fluctuation.

Perhaps she wants to use this cold joke to ease the serious atmosphere in the office, or she deliberately wants to forget something.

Avoid your heart.

A 14-year-old experienced family destruction and despair, and his heart is far more delicate than ordinary people.

How could she not understand what Cole conveyed to her.

The laughter cooled gradually.

The atmosphere of the office returned to the dignified and serious atmosphere just now, even more painful.

Held by Cole.

After a long silence, Penny took her hand back, clenched her fist and put it on her lap.

He lowered his head, took a deep breath and said in a slightly trembling voice, "others always like to comfort me. Time can heal all wounds, but... But..."

Talking room.

The trembling voice gradually began to cry.

Tears burst out of my eyes and fell on the table.

Cole put his hand back, took out a paper towel and handed it to him in silence.

"Thank you..."

A demon hunter who had a blood feud with the dark world offered to leave for a simple reason of fatigue.

Maybe the others didn't understand what penny was talking about, but he knew it.

The faith that kept her alive may not have collapsed.

But another negative force, after the internal investigation, tortured her spirit and blamed her soul every moment.

Those who have never experienced it will never understand. Penny seranda, the future bureaucrat named by the head of the Ministry of the interior to find the important person of the Council.

Under the appearance of perseverance, it was full of holes at the age of 14.

Time not only cannot become a cure.

Instead, it was like a blunt knife, cutting her soul every second.

The voices and curses of the dead echoed in my ears.

Even the sun, bright enough to break all the dark light, became dim and faded in her eyes.

without doubt.

In the eyes of others, Penny just can't get out of the shadow and wants to resign and rest for a period of time.

Cole does know.

If she is allowed to leave, perhaps, before long, there will be an additional case of suicide of a former demon hunter in the death case file of the imperial police station.

This time.

Shane knocked on the door of the office. A strong logistics guy came into the office with a lot of food.

Penny quickly sat up straight, turned her face to the other side and wiped her cheeks with paper.

After putting down the food.

The boy seemed to want something to happen with Miss Shane, such as chatting and gaining favor, but he was pushed out.

Go to the door.

Shane took the door handle and nodded to Cole, indicating that she would stay outside and call her if she had something to do.

Penny dried her tears, looked up and smiled at Cole. "Where were we just talking about? Dating... Dating.

Cole, if you... "

Cole took out a cigarette, frowned slightly, put it back on the table and crossed his hands.

"Listen, penny, I have no right to comment on your choice or interfere in your life. It's your freedom.

But you have to remember.

In this world, people still care about you. "

After that.

The office fell into a long silence again.

Until Penny picked up her glass and said with a smile, "what are you talking about? What do you care about... I just want to complain, not to say these sad things.

I bought this bottle of wine for thirty pounds. "

however.

The two had just finished their cup, and even Cole was hungry.

Miss Shane knocked on the door of the office, rarely showed some kind expression to penny, and then said solemnly to Cole, "Your Excellency, director Baruch has a very important thing to talk to you. He is waiting for you in the office."

Panni sighed, got up and joked, "since the minister is busy, I won't bother. Keep this bottle of wine for next time."

Smile at Shane before you leave.

Maybe it's untiing the knot.

Maybe it's to cover up the scar again.

After the conversation, she didn't mention her resignation.

When she gets to the office door.

Cole lit the cigarette he took out and put on the table, put one hand in his trouser pocket and said coldly, "penny."

"What's up?"

"I'll think about dating."

The female demon hunter looked disdainfully at her mouth, seemed to return to her former appearance, and said, "yes, but I have to think about it for a while, Mr. Big lover."

obviously.

She heard a little about Cole's affair with the female journalist amelia and an arrested witch.

With a wave of his hand, the footsteps gradually disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Miss Shane stood at the door, silent for a while, held her glasses and said solemnly, "Your Excellency, although I am a secret art, I should not interfere in your private life.

But as a father, you should think more about your child's feelings. "

Cole put on his coat and said, "father?"

Shane said coldly, "Miss Arlene, isn't it your daughter?"

"Who told you?"

After a moment of silence, Shane bowed his head slightly and said, "it's my fault, but all day today, the demon hunting group has been circulating that you have a deep relationship with the imprisoned Witch and even have a daughter."

Cole straightened his collar and said expressionless, "it's not as usual now, Miss Shane. Do you think someone will associate me with a witch for no reason?

Go to the interior minister and ask him to conduct a secret investigation into the rumor. The final result only needs to be told to me. "

After the public opinion war against Cole in the newspaper, Shane clearly understood the seriousness of the problem.

Even if it's not the hostile forces infiltrating the demon hunting group.

It will also be bureaucrats of non Baluch factions who make trouble behind the scenes and contribute to the flames.

A special minister in power is enough to create a huge shock to the power structure of the whole demon hunting regiment.

Although.

Demon hunters are also human beings. They are keen to gossip about some big people and spread their unreliable gossip.

It's human nature.

But connecting these big people, especially a big man who has just come to power and has an unstable foundation, with a witch or a dark creature is far from as simple as gossip.

After telling Shane that this matter must be kept strictly confidential.

Cole set off for his arms.

Although he was not very sure whether Penny had given up the idea of ending herself, at least he carefully saved the old friend's life.
