Chapter 1713
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âEr? Where is he?â
âI just saw his car. He must be here somewhere,â Talbot said in confusion and scratched the back of his
head.
âHey Look! Food! Chief must have brought this for us!â Lenard found a disposable paper bag and took
out two Lunch boxes and a thermos.
The rest approached him.
âChief is so nice to us. He always brings food. But this is hardly a snack. Thereâs not enough for us.â
Wesley always bought food or drinks for his men when he was off work.
âDonât complain. Itâs better to have a little than nothing.â Bowman opened one of the lunch boxes and
saw eight mung bean cakes. They looked rather inviting.

âWow, there are also mooncakes! They look delicious! Give me one!â
Everyone grabbed a mung bean cake and a mooncake. There were only two mung bean cakes and a
mooncake left. Talbot suggested, âTheyâre still wrapped. I guess he hasnât eaten yet. Weâll keep these
for him. Thereâs milkshake in the thermos. Want some? Weâve got disposable paper cups.â
The others shook their heads, declining the milkshake. Only Lenard nodded his head.
âIâm thirsty. Iâd like to drink some.â
âAlright. Letâs share it,â Talbot suggested and poured half of the drink into two disposable paper cups.
At that moment, the door opened and Wesley walked inside the office.
Upon seeing him, Talbot waved at him.
âThere you are, Chief! Weâve Left you a few cakes. Oh my! The cakes were so delicious. Where did
you buy them?â
Wesleyâs face darkened once he saw the scattered Lunch boxes on his desk.
âWho ate them?â he asked rigidly.
Talbot didnât see the sullen look on Wesleyâs face as he proceeded to drink a mouthful of his milkshake
before answering, âWe all ate them.
But donât worry. Weâve left some for you.â
âWho opened the boxes?â Wesley asked.
âI did, Chief. Why? Is something wrong?â Talbot pursed his lips in confusion
Wesley cast a cold glance at him before saying, âYouâll get fat after eating all those desserts. Go out
and do sit-ups. No less than a hundred sit-ups in one minute. Talbot, youâll do additional thirty push-ups
for every sit-up missed. As for the rest of you, additional twenty push-ups for every sit-up missed.â He
then caught sight of the cups of milkshake that Lenard and Talbot were holding.
âSince you two drank the milkshake, you get more exercise too. It will help burn off the calories. Go run
two kilometers with five-kilogram weights. Finish it in ten minutes. Youâll do additional thirty push-ups
for every minute excess.â
Everyone in the office fell silent, not quite understanding what was going on. It was the first time that
Wesley had given them punishments for such a seemingly harmless reason.
Nonetheless, they didnât dare protest. They were soldiers, and soldiers must obey orders. They
exchanged a few stumped glances at each other and then rushed out of the office posthaste.
On the training grounds, while they were doing sit-ups, Talbot gazed at the office building with his
brows knitted together in confusion and murmured, âWhat exactly did we do to piss him off? Where was
he before he arrived at the office? Did someone snitch on us to him?â He paused to consider it.
