True Love Waits novel Chapter 585

"A lot of people said that. Everyone doubted our chief's sexual preference after he turned down Blair's proposal. We all thought he was gay. But, look at what the man's doing now? Tsk, tsk, the girl's scared by his passionate kiss," one of the men remarked, smiling mischievously.

"The girl he's embracing right now is Blair, for your information. She was trapped by the flash floods which came in South Mountain. You know, our chief rushed to save her himself."

"Hey I heard that story too. They said that our chief risked his life and jumped into the rushing river current to rescue a woman. Once he had carried the woman to a safe place, he himself was washed away by the flood. So was the woman Blair too?"

"What's our chief thinking? He loves Blair. We all can see that. But she had proposed to him once in a high-profile manner, and he said no at that time. Why? You know, if I were Blair, I wouldn't even give him a single glance now, not to say let him kiss me."

"You only say that because you have no idea how much Blair loves our chief."

"Tsk, tsk, listen to you! Do you think you are an expert at love?"

Lenard touched his chin and concluded amidst their fervent discussions, "Our chief is the typical breed of man: aloof on the outside, but soft as a squishy brain on the inside."

This group of gossiping men were Wesley's subordinates. They had come there to find Wesley and ask him to join a get-together. They hadn't expected to witness such a romantic and thrilling scene.

Wesley treated them like good friends in private, so they all knew everything about Wesley's estates in Y City, including this apartment. They also knew that it belonged to his brother.

Before Wesley had left the platoon, he had told his men that his family had come, and he was going to go to his brother's apartment that night. That was why Lenard and the other soldiers had come to this apartment to wait for him to show up.

They thought that they'd hidden themselves well and wouldn't be found easily. But suddenly, Wesley opened his eyes and let go of the woman in his arms. He tilted his head to look in a direction, a dangerous look in his eyes. In the dark, Talbot felt like Wesley's eyes were staring right at him, merciless and cruel. If he were to take them as robbers, god help them!

He held his breath and hissed to the others, "Don't move. Chief has discovered us!"

"Normally, our leader should've discovered us the moment he stepped out of the car, but he's a few minutes late this time. Seems like he's overly tempted by the beautiful girl," a soldier whispered in a husky voice.

When Blair finally opened her eyes, she saw Wesley staring in some direction. She followed his gaze and found a car. The car looked like a military car just like Wesley's. 'Anybody in that car? Are they here for Wesley?' she thought.

Wesley strode towards the bush near the car. Blair realized that there might be some people hidden near it. Who were they? Why were they hiding? As the footsteps approached closer and closer to the bush, the group of soldiers held their breaths and tried to hide themselves among the plants.

"Come out now!" Wesley stood by the military car and ordered loudly. Without a second's delay, some four or five men obediently emerged from the bush.

"Hi, Blair, long time no see," Lenard greeted, flashing a smile to Blair.

"Blair, we're all Mr. Li's men." The man who was talking to her was a new face to Blair.

"Chief, B-Blair... Good evening!" Bowman greeted them too. He seemed a bit nervous.

Blair exclaimed in her mind, 'Oh my goodness! Did they all just see Wesley kissing me so passionately?'

Her face was as red as a tomato now. That was so embarrassing. She flashed an awkward smile, quickly nodded to them and broke into a quick run. She went into the elevator straight away without giving them a second glance.

Back inside the apartment, she changed into her slippers at the entryway. Cecelia was sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV but her head was down. She looked sleepy. The noise at the doorway jarred her awake. She opened her eyes wide and looked towards the door. "Blair, you're back? Where's Wesley? Did he come with you? Did he give you a ride?" Cecelia asked, looking around.

"He... He met a few colleagues downstairs. They were talking, and I was a bit tired so I came up," Blair replied without raising her head. She put the shoes on the shoe rack and slowly walked into the living room.

"Colleagues? They are here to find him at this late hour? Maybe there's something urgent," Cecelia guessed.
