Chapter 163 Rather Be a Queen Than a Nightingale
Orlando clutched his chest tightly, feeling bad.
Todd’s words hurt him badly!
“You‘ve become more and more unruly lately. You act as you please without my orders. And it
sounds like you think highly of Jerry?”
Orlando‘s tone was filled with hostility. He pushed Todd away and walked forward weakly.
Todd was so scared that he quickly slapped his mouth a few times in annoyance,
It was all his fault. He had never been in a relationship before and did not know how to comfort
people when they were down. Todd hurriedly ran forward and continued to support Orlando,
“Mr. Caffrey, don‘t get me wrong. I came with Toby here because I was worried about you. And how can I think highly of Mr. Felton, no, Jerry? You are always the best in my eyes, Mr. Caffrey.”
Todd whispered to Orlando‘s ears, “You think Viola was bullying you? But you know what, women will only want to touch a man when she loves him. She treats you so differently from others. Maybe one day you will win her heart!”
Finally, Todd said something that was reasonable and quite pleasant to hear.
Orlando felt much better.
Todd giggled with a stupid smile on his face and glanced at the pinch mark on Orlando‘s cheek before he said, “Still, Ms. Zumthor is… She‘s really tough on you.”
Orlando rubbed his face and still felt a little bit of pain.
When he thought about how Viola and Jerry had gone to eat together, he wondered what they would talk about. He was still unhappy. His face quickly darkened.
“Send two men with them. I want to know what they will talk about.”
“Mr. Caffrey, please give me a break! No matter what, Jerry is the boss of the Secret Bureau of Investigation. He has first–class anti–eavesdrop and anti–stalking skills.”
Orlando did not show any expressions.
Todd muttered, “If we are blown, Ms. Zumthor will find out. How are you going to give her an explanation? Aren‘t you afraid that she will misunderstand you again? Why don‘t you just go back to the villa and wait for her?”
Todd sighed quietly.
Orlando thought about it and finally compromised, asking, “Is there anyone who has more
experience with that?”
Todd thought about it seriously.
“It seems that only Taven has dated a girl before, but he is not in Washington. He is in Salt Lake City
now.”
“Taven?”
Orlando was stunned and frowned. “He is the youngest amongst you guys. How could he fall in love
firsc?”
Todd chuckled
“Mr. Caffrey, you don‘t know that. Taven is the youngest, but he is very popular because he knows
how to communicate with women. I heard that many girls are fascinated by him.”
Orlando was silent for a moment, and his eyes narrowed slightly. “When he is done with his tasks,
tell him to meet me in Washington alone.”
“Yes, Mr. Caffrey.”
Jerry took Viola to a French restaurant with pretty good decoration.
He was very gentlemanly and helped Viola pull out the chair and order the dishes for her.
Viola still looked calm as she elegantly drank some water.
Jerry stared at her, his blue eyes lit up, “I remember that you prefer a quiet environment when you have meals. I also remember your favorite taste. If there is anything you think is not good enough,
just tell me.”
“It‘s perfect,” Viola nodded.
Jerry softened his voice and continued, “Viola, ever since I was slotted into the Secret Bureau of
Investigation by my family, it has been seven years since we last met. This time, I happened to
come to Washington. Russell told me that you were in the police station, so I immediately rushed
over. It‘s so great to meet you again. I…” Jerry paused, he wanted to say “I miss you so much“, but
he didn‘t.
Viola looked up at him, and a memory of being sealed in her head was aroused again.
“Yes, Mr. Felton,” she said with a smile. “You spent seven years reaching the position of the head of the Secret Bureau of Investigation. Now, look at you, you are still standing so firmly. Congratulations.”
