33: Chapter 33 Hero 33: Chapter 33 Hero They ordered two dishes and two bowls of rice, a very simple meal.
Sarah kept her head down while eating, her demeanor was very charming, and her movements were quite graceful.
James could tell Sarah was not from a wealthy family, and her family was probably quite average.
For a girl from an ordinary family to possess such grace was indeed very rare.
As he dined with Sarah, James suddenly remembered the days before he joined the military.
Back then, he and another girl would sit together and have a simple meal every day at noon.
Although the food wasn’t always tasty, those were moments James could never forget.
“Are you full?” Sarah looked up curiously at James, who hadn’t helped himself to the food for quite some time.
James smiled gently and said, “You eat first, I’ll eat after you’re done.” This was also what he used to say back then.
He always liked to watch that girl eat, and only after she was nearly done would he wolf down what was left.
He knew very well that she always ate sparingly, leaving more food for him intentionally.
“Ah, no need,” Sarah was startled by James’s gentle gaze and felt somewhat flustered.
It was then that James fully emerged from his reverie, shook his head lightly, and said, “Heh, then I’ll eat.”
James knew how to be considerate.
When taking food, he only took from the side closest to him, always leaving the other half untouched.
He was well aware that some girls cared a lot about such things.
Having executed numerous missions over the years, James had encountered many types of women.
Sarah quickly noticed how James was selecting his food, and her fondness for him grew instantly.
Originally, she was somewhat worried about going out with a male colleague for an inspection, but now most of those worries had dissipated.
Surely, such a well-mannered man would not bully her.
After finishing their meal, Sarah rushed to pay the bill, adding, “I can get reimbursed by the company for this.”
James did not argue.
Posing as Gina’s boyfriend over the holidays had earned him some money, but he had no savings to speak of and couldn’t afford to be extravagant.
Since she could get reimbursed, it was best to let Sarah cover the expense.
As they left, three young men in their twenties with a raffish air walked out of a private room.
Their hair was dyed in various colors, and they were dressed in odd outfits.
They reeked of alcohol and were also going to settle their bill when they spotted Sarah at the cashier.
Their eyes lit up, exchanging lecherous smiles with one another.
The restaurant was located in the suburbs, and it was rare to see a beauty like Sarah there.
The three were no good, and upon seeing such a beauty, even if they didn’t drag her away immediately, it was essential for them to catcall her at least.
A young man with red hair, wearing a leather jacket, approached Sarah and leaned on the bar with his left hand, asking with a smirk, “Hey beauty, are you alone?”
Turning her head and seeing the redhead, Sarah was startled and subconsciously covered her chest, her face showing a panicked expression.
“Don’t be scared, don’t be scared.
We’re civilized guys, won’t do anything to you.
Just making friends,” the redhead winked at Sarah.
Sarah was silent, and as she turned to leave, she found she couldn’t move.
Other boys had blocked her way from behind and to the right, which made her even more panicked.
Stuttering, she said, “I’ve finished eating, I need to leave.”
“Don’t go, let’s go sing some songs together.”
Sarah was too fragile and timid, which only emboldened the three ruffians.
Guys like them, little hooligans, loved to show off and chase girls.
They wouldn’t dare to do much against someone tough, but Sarah’s timidity made them bold.
In some self-defense manuals, it is said that when girls encounter hooligans, they must not show fear, as it would inspire more courage in the aggressor.
“That’s right, we’ll take you out for some fun, guarantee you’ll never forget it.” The guy on the right brazenly reached for Sarah’s face.
Although the bar owner was there, he was too scared to make a sound, and the other customers in the restaurant also did nothing to stop them.
They felt it was a pity to see a beauty like Sarah harassed by these three thugs but lacked the courage to confront them, some even with a disgusting eagerness for the spectacle.
Sarah, frightened to the point of tears, saw the man’s hand about to touch her face and could think of nothing but to scream.
Suddenly, a hand reached out, grabbed the young man’s wrist, and another person appeared beside Sarah— it was James.
Seeing James, Sarah clutched his arm as if grabbing a lifeline, and instinctively tucked herself between James and the bar in
Mr.
Lopez has told us before that the most important thing for a department is to have team spirit.
If we can’t work together, we are just loose sand.
Only through cooperation can a department perform well.”
When Sarah mentioned Gina Lopez, her eyes filled with admiration.
James couldn’t help but respect Gina Lopez’s charisma.
Indeed, Gina Lopez was an exceptionally capable woman.
