"Well, I've been here in Helios County for a while. I've long heard there's an important figure here nad Brett Sumrs, President Sumrs. County Mayor Shaw arrived earlier than , so he's definitely had dealings with President Sumrs. Could you... could you introduce him, so we can all get acquainted?"
Dirk Carter said this as soon as he opened his mouth.
Jabez Shaw actually breathed a sigh of relief.
Lately.
He had been waiting for Dirk Carter to broach this topic.
After all, it's absolutely impossible to be in Helios County without having heard the na Brett Sumrs.
Logically, Dirk Carter should have made a request to et Brett Sumrs by now.
If he hadn't, it would have been unsettling.
"Haha, Secretary General Carter, I t President Sumrs so ti ago, and he ntioned he wanted to et you. You were busy then, so I decided not to disturb you. Now that you've expressed the desire to et President Sumrs, I'll arrange it."
Jabez Shaw said.
Dirk Carter heard this.
His face lit up with joy.
And said, "Thank you so much, County Mayor Shaw."
"As always, Secretary General Carter, if there's anything you need, just ask, no need to be polite."
"Alright, alright, County Mayor Shaw, you've really shown your generosity. I'll rember this favor. How about eting tonight at nine? President Sumrs can decide the location."
"Nine in the evening?"
Upon hearing the ti, Jabez Shaw was taken aback.
Dirk Carter chuckled.
And said, "I'm quite the night owl, not too spirited during the day. But once night falls, I'm full of energy. eting President Sumrs when my spirits are high is the utmost respect for him."
What kind of logic is this?
Yet Jabez Shaw sensed sothing coming.
He smiled and said, "Alright, then I'll agree on President Sumrs' behalf. Once we confirm the location, I'll let you know."
"Great, great, then I'll take my leave now."
Dirk Carter stood up.
He wobbled out.
Back at his office.
Arlo Yarbrough and lody Holloway approached, inquiring about the progress of things. It was apparent they were worried about this move as well.
Dirk Carter recounted the situation.
Arlo Yarbrough frowned and asked, "You've set the ti but not the location. How can both things proceed simultaneously?"
Dirk Carter smiled slightly.
And said, "The location is already set."
"Set? Didn't you say Brett Sumrs would decide? Has he notified you yet?"
lody Holloway asked.
"No!"
"How can the location be set if he hasn't told you? I'm getting more confused."
Arlo Yarbrough scratched his head and asked.
Dirk Carter took a long breath and sat on the sofa.
And said, "Do you know why I imdiately asked to have lody reassigned once I t Jabez Shaw?"
lody Holloway and Arlo Yarbrough exchanged a glance.
Both shook their heads simultaneously.
Dirk Carter said, "In their eyes, I've been fooling around with lody for over half a month now. At this point, I ask Jabez Shaw to have lody reassigned; what would a normal person think?"
Arlo Yarbrough pondered.
And said, "They'd think you're no longer interested in lody."
As soon as he finished speaking.
Disappointnt appeared on lody Holloway's face.
It flashed for an instant.
Dirk Carter didn't notice.
He simply nodded.
And said, "Exactly, the persona I initially set up was that of a lecher, yet now I'm asking to reassign lody, showing I've grown tired of her. Then, I ntion I'm a night owl, like the nightlife, and set the ti for 9 PM. At that ti, we're not likely going for dinner; it can only be to a nightspot, and the highest-end nightspot in Helios County is the Endless Nights Club. So, while the location seems to be Brett Sumrs' decision, it's all according to my plan."
Once he finished talking.
Arlo Yarbrough got excited.
And asked, "Will there be a good show to watch tonight?"
"Indeed, whether things work out depends on tonight. You need to go to Endless Nights and prepare things for ."
Dirk Carter said.
Arlo Yarbrough promptly said, "Alright, I'll go make arrangents now."
After speaking.
He hurriedly went out the door.
Dirk Carter then turned to lody Holloway and said, "lody, go over to Britt and tell her the timing needs to sync with mine. These few steps can't miss a single one."
"Yes, I'll pass it on to her."
lody Holloway said.
Dirk Carter paused.
And looked at lody Holloway, sowhat confused.
On her face, there wasn't much excitent. Instead, there was a hint of resentnt between her brows.
"What's wrong? You seem a bit off today."
Dirk Carter asked.
lody Holloway waved her hand and said, "No, I'm not sick, I'm fine."
"Oh, then get busy."
Dirk Carter said.
lody Holloway remained standing, motionless.
Dirk Carter sensed sothing odd.
And asked, "lody, do you have sothing you want to say?"
"Uh... well..."
lody Holloway stamred.
Dirk Carter chuckled and said, "It's okay, whatever you have to say, just say it."
"Um... Secretary General Carter... did you and Sister Britt do that?"
"Do what?"
Dirk Carter didn't imdiately grasp it.
lody Holloway hesitantly said, "Oh, you know, that thing n and won do together... have you two... have you already...?"
Upon hearing this.
Dirk Carter understood and asked in surprise, "Britt Ford told you about this?"
"Did it really happen?"
lody Holloway asked.
Dirk Carter nodded and said, "Things got a bit out of hand at the ti. It's hard to explain; both of us didn't an for it to happen."
lody Holloway's face suddenly went red.
She lowered her head and said, "She didn't tell , I figured it out. Recently, she asked to go shopping with her for several sets of sexy lingerie. And every ti she's ntioned you, she blushes. I just figured it out."
Dirk Carter playfully tapped her nose.
And said, "You're pretty clever."
lody Holloway didn't seem particularly pleased by the complint.
Instead, she took a deep breath.
Raised her head to Dirk Carter, pouting, and said, "Sister Britt only acted with you once, yet you two had a relationship. I've been acting with you many tis, but you've never really touched . Honestly, do you not like , or do I lack the allure Sister Britt has?"
Dirk Carter found himself with a headache.
He pondered and asked, "Your Sister Britt is different from you. How do I say it... she has had n before; do you have a boyfriend?"
lody Holloway shook her head.
And said, "There are many who pursue , but I don't fancy any of them."
Dirk Carter said, "That's right, you should save your best for the one you love the most."
"I'm not a virgin anymore; I've had boyfriends before. I was even earlier in this aspect compared to both sisters."
lody Holloway quickly said.
As she spoke, there was a hint of pride.
