  Chapter XXVlll

Campbell sat at his desk, occasionally squinting at his boss by the window.

It was already a week. Captain Winston was working in the Western Command’s Domestic Intelligence Office, not in the outbuilding.

Even though it was normal for him to work in the office instead of his home, it was unusual for Captain Winston. The upper management had so far turned a blind eye to the way he worked, that could be a security breach because of his position and performance.

But, why was he suddenly working in the office these days? Perhaps, it had something to do with the annex maid leaving soon…?

Campbell laughed at himself at the end of his absurd imagination. There was no way a man who was fearless enough not to be afraid to break the rules without hesitation would be afraid of a maid who was not half his size and would avoid the annex.

“Campbell.”

Campbell, who had smirked again and flinched.

“Yes, Captain.”

He straightened his back and looked at the captain, who was only looking at the papers on the desk. His eyes were sharply fixed.

Goosebumps grew on the back of Campbell’s back because he didn’t feel good. As soon as the captain lifted his index finger, he sprinted from his seat as if there were a spring attached to his hip, and walked up to the desk.

“What’s the matter?”

On the desk lay a pile of reports Campbell had submitted this morning. It was the result of investigating the domestic intelligence department and the personnel in charge of Winston’s annex.

While he didn’t notice anything that stood out, so he thought it was just a matter of unnecessary suspicion, the captain collected three files from them and pressed them with his index finger.

Immediately he lowered his voice and added,

“Under headquarters’ knowledge, covertly.”

After today, this mission is over.

“Come back safely.”

As she vacuumed the floor of the building’s hallway, Sally remembered Jimmy’s voice again from a few days ago and smiled. He seemed to regret that she was fired while trying to do her mission but didn’t say a word to her.

It seemed that he added that he wanted to see her soon. At that moment, the sad feelings melted away.

‘…Tomorrow I will see Jimmy after a long time.’

It’d been over a year already. She hadn’t returned to her hometown since she infiltrated the Winstons.

Sally sighed as she pushed the vacuum toward the entrance to the annex. It was because the nose of a pair of black shoes came into the edge of her view while looking down at the floor. She had just finished cleaning the carpet, and the shoes were about to get dirty again.

“Hey. Please, go out again…”

Sally, who was about to scold them to brush their feet on the rug on the stairway and come back in, hardened her face the moment she lifted her head.

Winston walked in with Campbell and several of the annex’s soldiers.

“Hello.”

Sally leaned her body against the wall of the hallway, avoiding him and only nodded her head.
