Chapter 1444
Elaine was shocked after listening to the man’s narration.She did not expect that Ian was used to being an undercover agent at all.
Being an undercover agent indeed was a dangerous job.
Once they were busted, their life would be in danger.
When she first met Ian, he was gentle and exuded a scholarly aura.
She thought he was just an ordinary owner of a coffee shop until she saw with her own eyes last night he used a bottle to crack the man's head without any hesitation.
The man looked at Elaine and grinned.
"Honestly, I really thought you were Ian’s girlfriend.After all, all the people he’s ever brought here were men."
"None of them were women?"
"Nope, but I can understand why."
The man threw his arms up and shrugged.
Then, he said worriedly, "When he was an undercover agent, he could barely keep himself alive, so he couldn't be bothered with other people.Once people like him fall in love, it's similar to having a weakness that the enemy can exploit.
"Nobody could catch him for so many years when he was an undercover agent because he did not have anything to worry about."
Elaine listened to the man but did not say anything.
He was right.
An undercover agent was a special profession.
Once they became emotionally attached to someone, they would easily be dragged down and distracted.
If they got targeted by their enemy, it would put them in great danger.
Ian returned to the private room after finishing the call.
The man got up and grinned at him.
"You’re back.Well, I need to return to my workstation."
He turned his head around and waved his hand at Elaine.
The waiter came in with their food as soon as he went out.
The man said something to the waiter, and the latter nodded.
After serving the dishes, he brought them a bottle of red wine.
Apparently, it was a gift from that man.
Elaine picked up the wine bottle and took a look at it.
"It seems like you have a good friend."
