Richard picked up the drink on the table, frowned and asked, "Muriel, don't you like juice?"
"Oh, Yes, I do. Due to the irregular diet during the mission, I always get stomachache. So if I have had this sour juice, I'm afraid I would have stomachache. " Muriel explained.
Hearing this, Richard felt sorry for her. He put down the juice and looked up at the clock on the wall. "It's late now. Why don't you sleep in my room? I'll sleep in the living room. I'll ask someone to send you back to the company's dormitory tomorrow."
"Why do you sleep in the living room?" Muriel looked at Richard in confusion.
Richard looked at Muriel happily, "Then shall we sleep in the same room? Me and you locked in a room? "
"Well, what's the matter? When I was on a mission outside, my comrades and I always slept together in the grass. " Muriel said disapprovingly.
"With men?" Richard asked in a bad tone.
"Well, yes, there is no gender difference between soldiers in the battlefield. It was hard to go on a mission outside. It's impossible to have a rest alone. Just thank God even when you have a room to sleep." Muriel patted Richard's back, indicating that she had no feelings for sleeping in the same room with him.
Hearing that, Richard felt both angry and distressed. It will be really hard for him to pursue Muriel as her EQ was so low.
"You can go to my room and have a rest. I still have some documents to read."
After taking two steps towards the bedroom with Richard, Muriel suddenly realized something wrong. She patted her forehead and said helplessly, "Oh, no, look at me! My agent asked me to go back to the company's dormitory early! I can't stay overnight outside. I have to go back now. "
Richard put on his suit and looked at his watch. "Let me drive you back."
"No, no, No. you can't give me a ride. If everyone knows that we know each other, it will be doomed." Muriel hurriedly refused, waving her hand.
Richard paused. After thinking for a while, he said reluctantly, "OK then, please take care."
"Don't worry. I am Muriel!" Muriel's black grape like eyes sparkled with confidence.
Although Richard knew that Muriel was an excellent commando, he couldn't help but remind her, "My number hasn't changed. If you have any difficulty, please contact me as soon as possible."
"You're really my good pal. You've been loyal to me since childhood. I'll contact you if I need anything." Muriel punched Richard's chest gently with her fist. Then she waved her hand and rushed to the company's dormitory.
Feeling the remaining temperature on his chest, Richard walked into the study, opened the drawer and picked up a photo.
From the color, it could be seen that this photo had been taken for many years. It was a photo of a primary school graduate. In the middle of the photo, a boy and a girl were holding each other in arms. They were both holding the gesture of victory, smiling brightly.
Richard reached out his hand to touch the girl's face in the photo. If Victor was there, he would definitely recognize that it was Muriel when she was a child at a glance.
Muriel came back to Purple Cloud's dormitory. She avoided the surveillance camera and went downstairs. She looked up at her dormitory. The living room was dark, and the lights in the other two roommates' rooms were on.
Muriel roughly observed the terrain. She climbed from the first floor to the five floors quickly and easily entered her room through the window.
At the quiet night, Muriel went back to her room without making any noise.
"It's almost one o'clock. But Muriel hasn't come back yet." Lisa Liu ran into Sarah Yao's room and said.
