Ade walked out of the expedition team leader's office.
He seemed to be in a bad state, with a tired look, drooping eyelids and a faint indigo-colored tint under his eye sockets. He looked very listless.
When the others saw his appearance, they all felt a little sympathy and guessed that he was probably reprimanded and punished by the captain for violating the rules.
Even those who were on good terms with him did not come forward to comfort him at this time, lest they hurt him. They even ignored him passing by them, and were so arrogant that they did not even say hello.
Everyone thought that he must be angry because his rival had reported him to the police.
Of course, no one would notice his expression. Rather than being too tired, he looked as expressionless as a puppet.
At this time, the captain in the office stood up from his seat. There was a look of aftertaste on his face, as if he had just enjoyed a delicious meal and felt a heartfelt satisfaction.
He wiped the area around his mouth slightly.
Across his neck, there was a wound that looked like it had just healed. The pink flesh was slightly bulging, like a flesh crack.
…
After the vacation time was over, Ade was still sent out to perform tasks and was not punished with confinement.
This assurance, which was completely different from the initial one, made the man who had been on a mission with Ade and came back to complain unable to hold back. When he saw the captain who was invited here in the restaurant, he stood up and questioned him in a stiff tone.
His approach was too direct and disrespectful. It was like questioning the leader in front of most of the expedition team members why he did not make a fair decision.
"Via..."
The man's companion gently pressed his shoulder, looking a little embarrassed and awkward.
The captain just looked at him in surprise for a while, then suddenly laughed and said in a calm tone, "How about this, after the meal, you come back to the office with me, and I will give you a satisfactory explanation."
Although it seemed a bit strange to have to go to the office to talk, no one thought much about it. They just felt that it would be awkward for the captain to discuss such a topic in front of everyone.
After all, he is usually such an upright person.
And Via did not doubt what the captain could do to him - instead, he felt a little guilty because of the other party's overly peaceful attitude.
The captain probably has his own reasons for handling the matter this way.
He really shouldn't have speculated about the other party privately, nor should he have questioned his authority in front of so many people.
Thinking of the man like this, she felt a little uneasy as she tossed and turned.
When they finished lunch, Via walked directly to the captain, bowed slightly to him and apologized, "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have questioned your decision. You are the captain, you have full control over our actions this time, and you have your own considerations - I hope you can forgive my offense."
He said it so sincerely, and in public, everyone looked over.
The captain was slightly startled, and seeing the young man in front of him, he couldn't help but reveal some regrets, but his tone was impeccable and perfect, "It's okay, as long as you understand me."
