"Really? I told you not to. But what about my hobbies..." Sharon raised her head slightly and said with an embarrassed smile, "I'm a very stupid person. I don't have much time to rest every day in order to pass the lawyer exam. Besides Taekwondo, I probably only have football. When I was in college, most of the boys in my class were no match for me!"
Sharon spoke with some pride, and Alex's pupils shrank slightly. After a moment, he nodded and said, "Football? I understand!"
"Well, but there's really no need to send any more gifts." Sharon looked distressed as she saw Alex's serious expression.
"Don't worry about him, Sharon. He's a huge homebody. He spends all his time in the lab. He doesn't have time to spend the money he earns. It's a rare opportunity that he can take the initiative to buy a gift for you. Don't refuse. This will also reduce Alex's chance to interact with people."
Karen held Alex's arm, raised her head, and spoke in a somewhat coquettish tone.
Alex lowered his head, looked at Karen, and said seriously: "I have never failed to give you a gift."
"Yes, yes! But you only give gifts on various festivals. You never give gifts on ordinary days." Karen leaned her face on Alex's shoulder.
"And your birthday and the day we first met." Alex corrected seriously.
"You bastard!" Karen slapped Alex in anger, but soon smiled and said, "But I am also very satisfied. After all, you are so busy every day, and you can still..."
"Um..." Sharon, who had been eating dog food beside them, raised her hand in confusion and looked at the two of them and said, "Am I a little redundant now..."
This is a thank you dinner for her! Why did she become the superfluous one in the end?! Do singles have no human rights and can only watch others show off their affection?! ! !
It seemed as if there was a little man roaring wildly in her heart, but on the surface, Sharon still maintained that somewhat forced smile.
"Ah! Sorry, sorry! I accidentally forgot about you just now, little Sharon!"
Karen quickly let go of Alex's arm and apologized.
Sharon listened and reluctantly replied a few words "It's okay". Then the three of them sat down and ordered their food.
To be honest, she now had doubts about whether choosing Karen as the breakthrough point for the investigation was a wise choice.
He exhaled slightly, and before the meal came, he asked Karen with some curiosity: "Isn't Alex an employee of the Jintek Group like us? Even if he is very busy, as colleagues in the same company, it shouldn't be that he doesn't even have time to meet each other every day, right?"
"It's different. Alex's department is a confidential research department of the company. Not only is his range of activities restricted during work, but he also has a special place to eat and sleep. If it wasn't for half a month ago..."
"Karen!" Alex said with a frown.
"Ah! Sorry, sorry!" After smiling ingratiatingly at Alex twice, Karen shrugged her shoulders at Sharon and made a helpless expression.
"It seems like you've really entered a pretty troublesome department, Alex!"
Sharon said with a somewhat shocked expression.
"You are also a lawyer. You should know how troublesome it will be if the confidentiality regulations are violated. Although your freedom is somewhat restricted, this is also the inevitable price for getting a high salary."
Alex was explaining this, and Sharon nodded in agreement, "Yeah! Those rules are really troublesome! You don't know how many brain cells I used to memorize them when I was in school!"
Sharon looked like she was about to die, which made Karen laugh.
"Little Sharon is really cute, but let's not talk about us. Little Sharon, do you have a boyfriend now?"
Karen rested her hand on her cheek, with a hint of amusement on her delicate and beautiful face.
"No, I don't have the time. Just living now makes me tired. I will consider the issue of a boyfriend after I am through the probation period and have a permanent job."
"Is that so? Then I believe that little Sharon will be able to achieve her wish in no time. So, what kind of man does little Sharon like? When the time comes, Sister Karen will definitely help you find a suitable candidate!"
"Let's not talk about whether I need you to help me find a boyfriend. As far as I know, most people in the company call you an iceberg. Do you really know a lot of men?" Sharon looked at her suspiciously.
"What are you talking about! I'm just a little more serious at work. I'm still easy to get along with in private. It's just that those cowards only see the working side of me and spread nicknames randomly!"
After Karen said this in a somewhat annoyed tone, she calmed down and continued, "So, what kind of personality do little Sharon like in men? I will definitely help you find it out when the time comes!"
"Hu~~" He let out a light breath, looked at Karen who was pestering him, straightened his body, and said, "Since you want to know so much, I'll tell you!"
"I hope my boyfriend can be strong enough to never give up, brave enough to stick to his beliefs and never back down in the face of any situation, and smart enough to find a solution as quickly as possible when faced with difficulties. Well, as long as he is similar to Captain America, I will be satisfied."
"So, I'll leave my boyfriend to you, Karen!"
Sharon smiled with cute dimples on her face, but Karen's face was a little stiff as she listened.
God's righteousness? She really took on a very difficult commission.
The meal was served quickly and time passed quickly as we chatted.
After dinner, Karen drove Sharon back to the apartment where she currently lived.
"Alex, do you think there's something wrong with little Sharon?"
Inside the car, Karen, who was in the driver's seat, held Alex and asked.
As a person who had been in a relationship for four years, she was clearly aware of her boyfriend's wariness towards Sharon.
"Well, I noticed it when we shook hands. The skin on her index finger and base of the thumb was rough and had a thin layer of calluses. It was from shaking hands with guns for a long time. When I asked her about her hobbies, she only said that she liked rugby."
"Well, it could be that she thought guns wouldn't be a good gift, so she didn't say anything!"
Karen grumbled a little dissatisfiedly. She had a good impression of Sharon who saved her from the gangsters. Besides, she was one of the few friends she had.
"That's a possibility." Alex nodded, but soon changed the subject and said, "But according to the area you mentioned, it's a small chance that thugs would block the road. It's also a small chance that a colleague who joined the same company half a month ago would happen to appear there and save you."
"Add to that the fact that she concealed the fact that she could shoot, and the fact that you are my girlfriend. All the coincidences added together are not coincidences. There is at least a 90% chance that she is the person who caused the internal operations of our laboratory to be suspended."
"So Karen, although I'm sorry to say this, it's better for you to find an excuse to break up with her as soon as possible."
Alex gently stroked Karen's golden hair. After a moment, Karen, who was holding him, suddenly raised her head, looked at him and said, "Okay, okay, I'll do as you say. It's just a coincidence that little Sharon showed up!"
Karen complained a little, but didn't really care as she turned the key and headed towards the apartment where they lived.
I originally wanted to finish writing this paragraph in one breath, but I'd better leave a tail. I'll put it in the next chapter. After all, I'm too sleepy. Let me take a nap first.
Also, the book will be put on the shelves this Friday, which is the 17th. Please give your support then.
Daily recommendation!!!
