The driver‘s lounge ten minutes later.
However, the drivers had all been kicked to the ballroom. Instead, the less qualified could not enter the lounge that was supposed to be reserved for drivers.
Jagoan sat on the couch and quietly watched the people before him.
Miriam eagerly bent over and poured tea for Jagoan.
Monica came up with a smile on her face and said, “Commander Jagoan, you surprised me. I didn’t expect a random guy I bumped into on the street to be the commander-in-chief of the city defense army.”
Hearing Monica’s words, Jagoan took a sip of tea and replied, “It’s a good thing you ran into me. That’s why there wasn’t an accident. If it were the average person, they would have died crashing with your car.”
“You’re right, Commander Jagoan,” Monica nodded with a smile.
“Commander Jagoan, why don’t I examine you?” Benedict asked passionately.
However, Jagoan shook his head. “No, I know how my body is. I don’t need you to examine me.”
“You’re right. Commander Jagoan, you’re a good doctor. You’re no worse than me. How could you need me to examine you?” Benedict said with a chuckle.
Then Jagoan looked at Miriam.
The girl had kept her head down from the beginning, not daring to say a word or even gasp.
With Jagoan suddenly staring at her, she almost cried out of nervousness.
“Are you Miriam?” Jagoan asked.
Miriam nodded tearfully and explained aggrievedly, “Commander Jagoan, I-I didn’t know you were the city defense army’s commander-in-chief. I didn’t recognize you. I didn’t mean to…”
Recalling how she had taken out her anger on Jagoan, even yelling at him and threatening to have the guards kick him out, Miriam was so ashamed that she wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground and never come out.
“It doesn’t matter. You didn’t know, so you’re innocent. Besides, it’s not a big deal,” Jagoan said nonchalantly.
He went on saying after a pause, “You did a great job with the ball, but don’t be so extravagant anymore in the future.”
