The Third Winter Soldier

In the evening, Rosen handed the secretary a document and said with a tired face, "Go and arrange a driver for me to take me back."

The secretary was taken aback, looked at him with some doubts, and asked, "The driver?"

Rosen nodded, closed his eyes and leaned back in the seat, rubbing the fingers of his left hand firmly on the bridge of his nose.He pressed it a few times, and felt his eyes feel more comfortable. When he opened his eyes, he saw the secretary looking at him suspiciously, hesitating to speak.He asked: "What? Is there any problem? Are all the drivers employed by the company not available?"

The secretary quickly shook his head and said, "No, of course not, just, why..." He looked at Rosen, "Isn't Lilith always responsible for the driver's work?"

Rosen didn't speak, just stared at the secretary, not intending to answer, but there was a very unhappy expression in his eyes.

The secretary glanced at the document in his hand and said, "I'll arrange it for you now."

Rosen hummed and said, "Go!"

The secretary gave him a suspicious look, opened the door and walked out, then looked at Lilith who was standing by the door, and said in a low voice, "Did you make the boss angry? He asked me to arrange a driver to take him back."

Lilith looked at him upon hearing this, smiled slightly, and did not answer.

The secretary shrugged and said, "Well, no matter what, I'll make arrangements first, and you can figure it out yourself!"

Lilith smiled, watched the secretary leave, and looked at Rosen's office in a blink of an eye. She stood there silent for a while, and stretched out her hand to push open the door of his office.

Rosen was standing in front of the glass window looking out of the window, when he heard the sound of the door opening, he didn't look back, but asked, "Is there anything else?"

Lilith coughed lightly, cleared her throat, and said, "Are you done?"

Rosen was taken aback, and slowly turned around to look at the door. He saw Lilith standing there looking at him. He frowned slightly and said, "You haven't left yet?"

"Today's work is not finished yet," Lilith said.

Rosen's heart moved, "I said, you are free, you don't need to work for me anymore."

"Yes, but..." Lilith raised her eyebrows, "Don't you remember the terms we negotiated at the beginning? My salary... But it's calculated on a daily basis. The day is not over, and my work is not over yet. "

Rosen laughed in his heart at the emotion he felt when he saw Lilith not leaving. He looked at Lilith for a while and said softly, "It seems that you are really short of money."

"Yeah!" Lily nodded without blushing at all, and said, "I agreed to be your bodyguard just to make money. Of course, making money must be done in a proper way, right? Since I want to charge you today's salary, of course I have to start and end." .”

Rosen laughed, he sighed with a smile, and said: "You are the most straightforward person I have ever seen, no matter what, no matter when, you are always so straightforward, so straightforward People have nothing to say." It was so straightforward that he couldn't hate her!

Lilith nodded and said, "In the eyes of many people, being straightforward is annoying, embarrassing, and embarrassing."

Rosen looked at Lilith and said, "Yes, it's annoying and embarrassing, but," he smiled, "it also prevented many troubles in advance. Lilith, if you do business, you may be very successful .”

Lilith also smiled, and asked, "I heard that you are looking for a driver to take you home. So, are you ready to end today's work?"

Rosen nodded and said, "Yes."

Lilith raised the car key in Yang's hand and said, "I'm ready! How about you?"

Rosen glanced at the car keys, stared at Lilith for a long time, then nodded slowly, and said, "Me too."

Nemo Manor.

Lilith parked the car at the gate, looked up at the rearview mirror, and said, "You're home, Mr. Nemo."

Rosen opened his eyes from his doze, and turned his head to look out the window. It was dark outside, and the lights were on in his villa. Charlie must have come back. He stared at the lights of the villa and asked, "What are your plans for tomorrow?" go?"

Lilith turned her head and saw Rosen staring out the window, she nodded and said, "If you want me to leave tonight, I have no problem."

Rosen smiled, met Lilith's gaze, looked around her face, and suddenly asked, "Have you been a soldier before?"

Lilith raised her eyebrows and said, "What do you think?"

"I think, among the things I haven't investigated, maybe you have had this experience before." Rosen stared at Lilith, "Sometimes, you make me feel like a soldier."

The corner of Lilith's mouth curled up slightly, she smiled and said, "Who knows? Maybe your feeling is right, maybe it's wrong."

Rosen was silent, just looked at her quietly.

"You're already home, Rosen." Lilith smiled.

Rosen didn't speak, but still stared at Lilith, and said for a while, "If I'm in danger, will you come back and save me?"

"I don't know." Lilith shook her head. When Rosen heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes. Just as he was about to speak, he heard her say, "As you said today, I came back an hour late. If someone wants to kill you, all I can see is your body... If...you are really in danger, of course I will save you, but I don't know if I can save you."

Rosen looked at Lilith, he saw guilt on her face, he understood, he always thought that Lilith lacked apology for Anna's death, but it was not, at this moment, he seemed to understand something, but Unable to explain what he understood, he smiled at her gently and said, "Thank you, Lilith." After speaking, he opened the door and got out of the car.

Lilith watched him walk towards the gate, and let out a long sigh of relief, lowering her eyes to hide her emotions.

The next day.

Rosen walked down from the second floor, and saw Charlie wearing a tracksuit, holding a small hand and a gun, and crouching on the sofa dejectedly, "As far as I know, you haven't gotten up so early for a long time. , isn't it?"

Hearing his voice, Charlie jumped up from the sofa like a spring, waved his hand and the gun, and said loudly to him: "Uncle, why did Lilith leave? Did you fire her?"

With a twinkle in his eyes, Rosen asked, "She told you that I fired her?"

"No, she said she resigned, but I don't believe it! In my opinion, with such a stable and high-paying job, who is willing to resign, of course you fired her, didn't you? She was just embarrassed to say that she was fired Isn't it?" Charlie yelled angrily, "I really don't understand, Lilith is such a good bodyguard, why did you fire her?"

Rosen looked at him quietly, without answering.

"Uncle, why don't you talk? Am I wrong? Isn't Lilith the best bodyguard?" Charlie looked at Rosen with his hips on his hips, "In my opinion, even among the people I know, I don't see They used to hire such an excellent bodyguard like Lilith!"

Rosen walked up to him slowly, stared calmly at the angry Charlie, and asked, "Have you finished?"

"Uh..." Charlie looked back at Rosen, and found that his uncle's face was unusually calm. He immediately took a step back and said seriously, "Say, I'm done, yes, I've finished."

"So, from now on, you listen to me and don't say a word, can you do it?" Rosen asked.

Charlie swallowed, and nodded hesitantly.

Rosen nodded approvingly, took the gun from Charlie that he had been holding all the time, and asked, "Is this, she gave it to you?"

Charlie nodded, then shook his head and said, "No, this one is not for me, she said this one is for you!"

Rosen lowered his head and looked at this gun over and over again. This is the one that Lilith has always carried with him. Now, she left it to him. He raised his eyes to Charlie, and noticed that Charlie's eyes were lingering there. Putting the gun on, he put the gun in the pocket of his nightgown without any trace, and then said to Charlie: "Lilith... will no longer work for me from today, there is no such thing as she resigning or I resigning." Her problem, this is decided by both of us through negotiation, don't yell at me anymore, you have no place to intervene in this matter." Rosen looked at Charlie's head that was gradually lowering, and said coldly: "It's still Yes, Lilith is not the best bodyguard, you are still too young, and the world you see is too small, so, from today on, you can end your playful life, and I will arrange a private tutor for you to help you Tutoring until you get into MIT!"

"What?" Charlie was shocked, "Massachusetts! Uncle, you know it's impossible! How could I..." He received Rosen's stern gaze, and consciously swallowed the second half of the sentence.

"There is nothing impossible in this world!" Rosen stared at his head, finished speaking slowly, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

Hearing his uncle's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Charlie secretly raised his head to look in the direction of the kitchen, sighed heavily with his face down, and wailed in a low voice: "God, I'm finished!"
