Silver Blade and Rose

Obtaining the consent of Bill and Lilian was easier than imagined. To be precise, it was Edwin who made persuading Lilian much easier.

He spoke neither fast nor slow, and explained the content of the contract concisely. There was no overlord clause, and it seemed that it was really just an ordinary employment contract, but the length of time was a little bit beyond expectation.The paper contract was placed on the small table in front of Lilian, and some points that needed attention were drawn with a pencil. Party A had already signed Edwin's name on the final signature position, and Party B was still waiting for their review. .

Of course, this is indeed just an ordinary employment contract. The contract between Edwin and Zals is a blood contract and is not affected by this contract. In other words, the contract relationship is the contract that binds them firmly together. .Lilian and Bill will never know about this, he won't say it, and Zals won't say it, they will only hold a copy of this contract, thinking that Zals is just working for him.

After confirming that the contract is fair and the remuneration is generous, Bill and Lilian glanced at each other, and then looked at Zals sitting next to him in unison: "What do you think?"

Zars blinked subconsciously, and said for no reason, "I think it's pretty good...?"

He was a little worried that if Lilian didn't agree to this matter, it would be difficult to end, and he was quite nervous, so he couldn't help pinching the sofa cover under the cover of the hem of his clothes.In the end, Lilian just looked at him seriously for a while, as if looking at what he was thinking, and then said: "Then do it according to your idea."

He blinked, and was stunned for a moment before he realized that Lilian had just agreed.

"If you like this job, of course we support you." Lilian put her warm hand on the back of his hand, looked at him with gentle and firm eyes, and there was undisguised encouragement and love in it, "Actually, you have not I feel a little sad for contacting us too much, but Bill and I are very happy to see that you have found the job and life you want."

Bill also nodded in agreement, and added: "Although she always thinks you are still young, in my heart, you have long been an adult."

Zars was dumb, and after a while, he lowered his head and smiled slowly.

"...Actually, I have always felt that you are talking about your support, but you actually don't want me to go to the police academy, and you don't want me to be a policeman after graduation."

This should not be his wishful thinking.Bill never told his colleagues and friends where he was studying, until he was about to graduate from the police academy, and when he came home, he met Bill's friend, who thought he was studying in which university.Although Lilian didn't do this, her best friend Lisa once approached Zars in private, expressing implicitly that his career plan made Lilian worry about his safety, and hoped that he could think about it again...

Lilian did not deny his guess: "It is indeed so."

Without waiting for Zales to say anything, she continued: "Based on your grades and internship experience in school, you should be a criminal police officer after graduation, maybe from the city police station, or from our area—I My father, your grandfather is a criminal policeman, I know too well what kind of family a good criminal policeman would have, and I don't want you to become like that.

"Bill and I would have preferred you to have a regular job, less dangerous and less busy. You wanted to be a policeman, and we had no objection, but glad you signed a long-term contract with Mr. Owen, as you have now. , have a stable job, and it won’t be too far away from us.”

She didn't deny her own ideas, but she didn't use her will as a parent to force Zals to do something, she was just happy that he had found a job she liked.

Zals had a little accident on the eve of graduation. Both she and Bill knew about it, because the instructor contacted them privately, hoping that they could cooperate with the psychologist to provide psychological counseling to Zals, so that he could get better faster, so that he could enter within the time limit. The police force became the official police.

Lilian had selfish intentions at the time, so after hearing that Zals received another letter of recommendation, she encouraged him to check the situation before making a final decision without hesitation.Now she found that what she had done at that time had an effect, Zals returned to his previous state, but became more mature, as if her baby had finally grown up.

"Thank you for your willingness to work with Zals for a long time." She solemnly thanked Edwin, "If possible, I hope you can convey this gratitude to his other colleagues for me, and thank them too."

"No need to do this," Edwin sat on the sofa closest to her, stretched out his hand to gently hold her arm, and let Lilian, who subconsciously leaned forward, sit up straight, "Zars helped me a lot, to be honest, I am also very happy to have such an excellent assistant by accident."

On the surface, 179 Rockhill Street is a cooperative unit of the city government, which specializes in handling the files of old and unsolved cases. Occasionally, it needs to go out to communicate details with other departments. It is an out-and-out "civilian unit".He is not surprised that Zals' parents want him to live a smooth life. This is a common problem of all parents who want to protect their offspring. Even Herlett has been protecting him when he was still there, but the chicks always leave the nest and learn to fly. By that time, Zals had already flown very well, and he didn't have to go back to his parents' nest to continue being his "baby".

He didn't say this, because Zars' parents didn't need to know this, as long as he knew that he was living well and working comfortably, he would be satisfied.He leaned on the sofa cushion, silently watched Zales sign his name on the contract, slowly clenched his fist, and took the power contained in that signature into his hand.

The written contract was established, and the bond between him and Zals became stronger.Edwin raised his eyes to look at Zals, and the other party just happened to look over, and nodded to him with a smile.

Perhaps because the goal is achieved, this smile is both satisfied and almost overflowing with joy. When Zals smiles, his eyes will bend into a crescent shape, and he does not hide his emotions. Therefore, the smile combined with his appearance and temperament is particularly contagious. .Edwin originally wanted to give him a smile back symbolically, but he suddenly realized something. The smile that just emerged from the corner of his mouth was suddenly driven away by him before it had time to take root.

Zars met his eyes, took a panoramic view of his emotional changes, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing," Edwin blurted out, stood up abruptly, and nodded slightly towards Bill and Lilian, "I suddenly remembered something urgent. You are staying home with your parents for a family day. I'm leaving first."

"Don't you need me to see you off?" Zars was taken aback.

Edwin shook his head, picked up his coat and hurried out to leave.Zals originally wanted to chase him out to ask what was wrong with him, but the sharp-eyed Lilian called out: "Baby, Mr. Owen left something behind."

Zars, who had already taken two steps toward the door, had no choice but to stop, and then looked back at the small box that had fallen on the sofa.

Edwin was wearing a black windbreaker. The box was also made of black velvet, and it almost blended with the windbreaker he took off and put on the back of the chair. Now it looked particularly abrupt when it fell on the light-colored sofa cover.Zals held it in his hand and estimated its size. It should have fallen out of the windbreaker pocket.

He didn't let Bill and Lilian see what was inside, fearing that there would be something ordinary people couldn't see, but when he opened the velvet box behind their backs, he found a bracelet inside, and a small and delicate handwritten card was attached: "To Mrs. Drake".

It was actually given to Lilian.

Zars handed the jewelry box to Lilian who was opposite, and shook his head under the other party's question "Why didn't you take it out just now, and you can't just return the gift now, it seems very rude", and said helplessly: "He didn't tell me to return the gift." I brought this, I think I originally wanted to give it to you as a meeting gift, but I forgot later."

"This is the brand that Lisa occasionally wears. A bracelet is not cheap." Lilian looked at the bracelet lying in the box, obviously liking it a little, but she pushed it back, "Just pretend you didn't open it, as if Send back what he missed."

It's not that she can't afford this bracelet or doesn't like it, it's just that she developed the habit of not wearing jewelry in the hospital before, and even when she got married, she only wore a string of pearl necklaces left by her mother. On the one hand, he asked Tozals to return the gift, but on the other hand, he might not wear it very much, which is really useless. It's better to pretend not to know, and let his son return this somewhat expensive gift to the other party.

Lilian was a little puzzled, she didn't know why the boss who was as handsome as a magazine model would give such expensive things to the employees' families, but thinking that Zars had just signed a long-term employment contract with the other party, she would feel at ease again , thinking that maybe it was just an unremarkable meeting gift from the other party.

What she didn't know was that Edwin originally planned to give this gift to her after meeting Bill, but later he was attracted by the photo on the wall in the corridor and the sound of "baby", and rarely forgot one thing... That's why there was such a joke about not presenting presents.

The three people present looked at the necklace in blank dismay. Zars knew what Lilian was thinking and didn't insist. He closed the box and put it in his pocket, intending to return it to Edwin when he went back.

However, the problem now is that the car keys are still with him, and the contract is also with him. The purpose of their trip has been fully achieved, but Edwin left his house one step ahead of time alone, and his whereabouts are unknown.

He knew the other party well. Most likely, Edwin didn't know how to take a taxi, and naturally he didn't have a mobile phone on him. He would never go somewhere on foot. Someone probably picked him up.But when he made a round of phone calls to ask, no one, whether Munn, Grant, or Sanchez, said that he picked up Edwin by himself, and Grant laughed at him: "That guy doesn't know how long he has lived, how do you look like that?" A parent of a lost child looking around?"

Zals was speechless. After hanging up the phone, he thought about it and decided to give up the "family day" that Edwin called this time, and stood up to put on his coat.

"I have to go too, and I'll come back to see you next time." He took a special look at Bill's legs and told him, "Be careful not to move around, and take good care of your injuries so as not to leave sequelae."

Zals didn't know why he was a little worried about Edwin. This feeling came from nowhere, but it kept lingering in his heart, and he couldn't let it go.He quickly put on his coat, and before Lilian could say anything, he waved his back to them and left the house quickly.
