Chapter 15 About Robin
Julia was speechless. She couldn't believe her husband knew everything that was happening. Julia's expression, which had been so stiff all this time, was trying to smile sweetly, even though it was impossible. What should Julia do? Should she be honest with her husband? But if Julia confessed, it would definitely hurt her husband's feelings, and she couldn't bear it. This was quite strange, indeed, but what could she do? Julia thought her husband hadn't done anything bad to her, even though he was the head of the mafia. In fact, he'd always been incredibly sweet and protective of her until now.
"I don't know what to do either. This assignment is something I'd say is more difficult than anything else. I don't know where to start or even where to end it. I can only say yes to them without really making a definite decision, and to this day, I'm still wondering what I can do to find a compromise between all this."
Kay raised an eyebrow. His wife's answer was truly strange and unintelligible. It was as if the job she had taken on was indeed quite demanding, and even she couldn't handle it.
"Just tell me what you do, maybe I can help."
Julia's mouth snapped shut, and once again, her husband had said something she couldn't accept.
"Isn't this incredibly strange? How can I, a member of the police intelligence team, ask you, a mafia boss, for help? Don't be crazy."
Receiving such a sneer naturally made Kay smile wryly. The man then looked at Julia with a playful gaze. And for the first time, Julia saw Kay truly looking at her differently.
"Shouldn't you be taking advantage of me? I'm a mafia boss who naturally has numerous business connections, both with criminals and officials with shady political connections. If you tell me all your problems and ask me to investigate anyone, even within five minutes, I can get all the information you need. And of course, this is easy for you, isn't it?"
How could Julia tell the truth if what her unit wanted was something related to Kay?
"Never mind, forget it all. I try not to burden anyone and don't ask for anyone's help. I can handle all my work myself, and I hope you won't be offended by this."
Julia exited the elevator first, allowing Kay, sensing something strange about his wife, to immediately contact one of her trusted aides.
"Find out about Julia's work, and what she's currently looking for."
"Yes, sir."
"Rebeka, don't you suspect something?"
Rebeka, who was currently having lunch with Mr. Michelle, finally seemed completely confused by her boss's question.
"What do you mean? About Julia? I don't think there's anything strange about Julia at all. She's just a woman who's just had her heart broken, and it's natural that she's completely distracted from her work."
Mr. Michelle shook his head, as if Rebeka's answer was wrong.
"You're wrong. It seems more than that. For some reason, I noticed something strange about your friend, and I felt compelled to find out."
"What do you mean? I don't understand what you're getting at, Mr. Michelle."
"I know Julia and who she is. Usually, when a woman is in trouble, she chooses to be enthusiastic about her work and tries to ignore it. And initially, Julia came in feeling so enthusiastic, but for some reason, when we discussed the bloated situation of the biggest mafia, Julia suddenly seemed gloomy and even daydreaming. It was as if she had something on her mind, and that made me feel very strange."
Hearing Mr. Michelle's statement, Rebeka naturally smiled. “Doesn’t Mr. Michelle remember, if the reason Robin before he disappeared was that he was held captive by a very terrible mafia gang in this world. And I feel that maybe when we discuss the mafia gang it makes Julia remember the heartache of being lied to, more than that we all know it is the biggest mafia gang in this world who only know when investigating the gang is life. And do you think the expression displayed by my friend is something strange? In fact, I think if my friend looks excited and also happy to get a job like that is something strange and it could be said that my friend has suicidal intentions. So I think it’s normal, because Julia is human and she is a young woman who has a very long future. And calm down, it takes a process, even all parts of the government and also the police need decades to be able to get the location point where the mafia gang is, right? And this is just Julia and even that is something that can be said to be quite impossible. Instead of stealing Julia’s wood, wouldn’t it be much better if you encourage my friend?”
"Do you really think so?"
"Of course, I know Julia best, and you don't need to be angry with me. That woman is always dedicated to her work."
Mr. Michelle finally fell silent, not daring to make a decision, let alone think anything bad about Julia.
"Now, I have a question for you, sir. What are you going to do about that damned man named Robin? He hasn't even given any news yet. If he really wanted to resign, I don't think that would be a problem. It's just that I'm quite annoyed by his sudden disappearance."
"Actually, I wanted to speak to Robin directly about this matter. The problem is, he's not at his apartment, and his number is switched off. So how do you think I can contact him? If he came, I would just do everything and fire him on the spot, right?"
"I hope you make the right decision, sir. Because I don't want you to give opportunities to employees who don't want to work well. Isn't that right?"
Mr. Michelle smiled. He knew the woman in front of him was upset. However, he still tried to act calm and composed.
"Trust me, I'm quite professional about all this."
