Chapter 79: Chapter 79

“A banquet?” Faron fell silent. “I’ll pa** on this one. I shouldn’t be showing my face at an event like this.”

Faron was someone of power, and it was true that he had to pick what events he attended.

Wilbur chuckled. “Are you sure? There might be something worth seeing ”

“Something worth seeing?” Faron’s face lit up with curiosity. “I’ve got to be there, then. What banquet is this?”

“The city business banquet. You can find out where it is for yourself,” Wilbur said, then hung up.

He gave it some thought and took his own caller card out of his personal phone before inserting it into the phone the department had given him.

There was no way he was going to be lugging two phones around all the time.

put

his license and handgun back into the briefcase, then tossed it onto the pa**enger seat before driving back home.

It was only one o’clock in the afternoon then. Wilbur sat in the living room in silence, thinking long and hard about something

This banquet was definitely going to be something else. Faye’s father attending would definitely make things awkward, and Wilbur was certain that Fabian would go the extra mile to give him a hard time.

Wilbur was feeling helpless. Fabian was, after all, Faye’s father, and Wilbur had to respect him for that, at the very least. Faye had every right to argue with her father, but Wilbur was far less qualified

He thought about it and figured the best thing to do would be to just wait and see. Either way, he would respect whatever Faye decides

She was no

was not only working under Wilbur. The two of them shared a special relationship that was undefined, but it was definitely significant.

Time went by just like that, and Faye finally returned from work after six o’clock in the evening. Jose was also here, lugging in a large suitcase behind her.

Jose had been Faye’s driver and bodyguard ever since Wilbur had taken him down. He had been doing a fine job since

“Hello, sir.” Jose bowed to Wilbur respectfully.

Wilbur got to his feet, nodding at Jose. Thanks for the hard work”

“Please, don’t mention it.” Jose set the suitcase down in the middle of the living room and left right after.

Wilbur looked at the suitcase. “What’s in there?”

“Clothes I bought for you. Surely you aren’t thinking of showing up to the banquet in a T–shirt and jeans, are you?” Faye smiled.

Wilbur nodded, and Faye opened the suitcase. In it were a few suits, and several pairs of shoes.

Faye made Wilbur try them on one by one, taking her time to marvel at the sight before deciding on a pale blue suit with beige

loafers.

With the new clothes, Wilbur instantly looked a lot younger. Faye was more than pleased.

“You look way better like this.” Faye smiled.

Wilbur shrugged. “I still like my own clothes more. This isn’t very comfortable for me.”

“You can dress like this once in a while. There’s no harm in

Faye said.

Willur nodded.

“Let’s go. It’s already past seven o’clock,” Faye said.

Wilbur looked at Faye. “Have you really thought it through?

“I’m all yours. What are you talking about?” Faye rebutted swiftly, leaving Wilbur to blush awkwardly. This woman was truly not to be messed with.

“Alright, then. Let’s go.”

The two of them left, and Wilbur drove off to Seecher Hotel.

The Seecher Hotel was funded by the government and was mainly used to entertain authorities while also being open to the public.

Anyone who dined or stayed there was definitely someone of power, as regular people could not afford to do so.
