"What's wrong with you? Why are you so serious?" Leena asked nervously as Kevin's seriousness was frightening her.
"Nana, have you read the report?" Kevin already knew Leena had read the report but he asked anyway. Although Leena had just lied about her eyeglasses, he could tell from her movements and expressions that she had cried.
"Yes. I've seen it," confessed Leena openly. Honestly, she didn't even care about the report at all. What she was concerned about though was the explosive news she heard in the hospital.
"Do you believe me?" Kevin asked anxiously as he feared to hear her say no.
"Have I ever let you down?" Leena looked at him sideways as she spoke in a shy tone. She felt much better now although her eyes were still red.
Instead of answering her, Kevin reached out his hand and pulled her into his arms. His kiss fell gently on her lips before it touched every inch of her skin. He couldn't speak whenever he was faced with Leena's faultless eyes, thus, all he could do was to express everything he felt through gentle kisses.
There were some times when actions spoke louder than words. A trusting look, a warm hug, and a gentle kiss were all more powerful than meaningless words. These had fascinated people greatly.
Faced with Kevin's kisses, Leena couldn't help but blush. She breathed softly and looked even brighter. It wasn't the first time she had kissed Kevin but she was still shy. Thus, she buried her head on Kevin's chest.
"Dorothy was held hostage by a mentally-ill fan that day and I happened to be nearby. I saved her. She came to the army base yesterday to invite me to dinner. She said she wanted to thank me for saving her life. I turned her down because I knew that you were waiting for me at home," patiently explained Kevin. He was patting her back gently with his big hands as if he was coaxing a child.
"Shh! Don't say anything. I trust you." Leena put her finger to her mouth and gestured him to stop talking. In this love endurance race, she chose to trust him unconditionally.
"Now can you tell me why you just cried?" Kevin asked her about what bothered him most. Since she chose to trust him, it would be impossible for her to be saddened by the unreliable reports that c
rtainment Weekly to write this apology letter?" Edward looked at the paper on his desk and thought, 'Why did TT Entertainment Weekly publish a letter of apology? I don't think I asked Anna to do this.'
"No. I think it was the Major General's request. I heard that he went to TT Entertainment Weekly after we left and stayed there for a long time. He might have told them something, thus, they did it." Anna replied honestly. She wasn't the type of person to take credits for something she didn't do.
"I didn't expect him to do that. I always thought that he was a meek fellow." A meaningful smile cracked on Edward's lips as he played with the phone in his hand. It seemed that he had underestimated Kevin. As a major general, he couldn't keep silent after being bullied.
"Then shall we send a lawyer's letter?" asked Anna cautiously. She knew that Edward was a thoughtful man who couldn't be seen through by a little secretary like her.
"No need. We'll see." It would be great if Kevin could solve it himself. In this way, Edward would be much relieved.
"I see. Then I'll go now." Anna was wearing a shiny ring on her finger and it caught Edward's interest as she was about to leave his office.
"Wait a minute. Did Aaron propose to you? When will be the wedding? You have to tell me in advance. I will prepare a wedding present for you." Edward already knew what happened when he saw the ring on Anna's hand. He was glad to see two of his most capable assistants getting married.
