True Love Waits novel Chapter 547

Blair knew that a soldier could be called to duty at a moment's notice. She told him, "If you have something urgent to handle, just drop me off here. I'll just get a cab."

Wesley mulled it over. He did have to get going. But when he saw her face, still drained of color, he thought better of it. He didn't even slow down. "No, it's okay."

Blair was surprised, but said nothing.

She was brought to the place where he worked. As soon as his car pulled into the parking lot, a few men dressed in army-green shirts came and surrounded Wesley, who was getting out. "Chief! You're finally here. Please report to Mr. Zhao's office now."

Wesley closed the car door. Without responding to his men, he walked around the car to the passenger door.

The soldiers followed their leader and kept urging him. But they all shut up when the passenger door was pulled open. Their eyes widened in shock. A woman was sitting in the passenger seat, wondering if she should get out.

Seeing her indecisiveness, Wesley actively helped her unfasten the seat belt, while talking fast. "My office is on the third floor, first room on the left; your uncle's office is on the fourth floor, second room on the right. Head there and wait for me. I'll come find you when I get a chance."

Blair nodded her head. She moved slowly in the seat, looked down at the ground and carefully stretched out a leg. His vehicle was so high and large that she needed to get out of it carefully, holding the handle like when she got in.

Seeing she had balance issues, Wesley held her hand, and wrapped the other around her waist when she was halfway down. Straightaway, he took her into his arms and let her get to her feet. The other soldiers were even more shocked by this scene, their jaws dropped. Wesley ignored their curious looks and pointed in the direction of his office.

Blair smiled at Wesley's men, greeting them with a nod. After that, she headed towards the office building.

As soon as she left the parking lot, the soldiers all besieged their leader and said with keen interest, "Nice going, Chief! She's cute."

"Finally. We were wondering why you never dated any girls. When did you get a girlfriend? You've been holding out on us. Jerkwad."

"Your girlfriend's so hot. Bring her around more often! Work will get more interesting."

The soldiers were so excited that some of them were pulling on him. Wesley slapped their hands away and explained, "Knock it off. She's not my girlfriend. She's Lieutenant General Ji's niece."

Nonetheless, before Wesley could reach his superior's office, Blair became the topic of hushed gossip around the installation.

Blair was oblivious to this. She was still a little weak, and chose to wait for Wesley in his third floor office. She was curious about his workspace anyway.

Wesley's colleagues stared at her as she pushed open the door to his office.

Although she was Adalson's niece, she had never come here. This wasn't a place that anyone could come and go as they wished.

It was the first time she had been here, and Wesley brought her here himself. Curiosity filled her heart as she ran her eyes over each item in his office.

His office looked more or less the same as what she had seen on TV. The decoration was simple, low-key but solemn. There was a large desk in the middle, a few chairs, a cabinet, and a lot of books and folders that lined the bookshelves.

On the desk were a few buttons for the intercom, a glass, a landline phone and some other stationery.

A dozen certificates and awards hung on one of the walls. Wesley had earned a ton of honors.

She sat down in Wesley's chair and randomly flipped through a few documents. Of course, those were just some common files like attendance records. The confidential ones were all locked somewhere beyond her reach.

After absentmindedly flipping through papers for a few minutes, she put them back and pulled out her phone. She began to text Joslyn. "Joslyn, guess where I am now?"

Joslyn had just woken up when she got Blair's message. "You don't have classes today. Why are you up so early? Where are you?" She didn't know of Blair's high fever last night.

"Early? Look at the time! It's nearly noon!"

Unconvinced, Joslyn retorted, "I know. But since you've already gone somewhere, you had to be up early. Get it?"

Blair sent the ellipsis to mean that she was speechless. Then she sent another message to answer the question herself. "I'm in Wesley's office."
