“I’m sorry if this makes you uncomfortable, but someone has been secretly taking pictures of us!” Christopher replied.

The next thing Winnie knew, he had placed his black jacket over her head.

“Hey! What are you…”

She heard him running out of the restaurant before she could even finish her sentence.

I know Christopher covered my face to help hide my identity, but that was totally unnecessary! Does he not realize that I already have a pair of shades and a face mask on? I doubt anyone would be able to recognize me even if they got a picture of me! I was going to leave, but he left his jacket and the blood sample here when he ran off to catch that person, so I now have to stay here until he returns…

Feeling speechless at the thought of that, Winnie yanked the jacket off her head and sat down at the table.

After waiting for about twenty minutes, Winnie was starting to grow impatient when Christopher came back.

It became obvious that he ran all the way back as he was panting heavily and drenched in sweat. His shirt was sticking to his skin as he looked out of breath.

Winnie had thought she would soon be hit by a foul body odor, but what followed was a surprisingly clean scent.

She then grabbed an unopened bottle of water and handed it to him.

Christopher took the bottle over from her, but all he did was hold it in his hand and glare at her with a frown.

Feeling uncomfortable from his gaze, Winnie glared back at him and asked, “Why are you looking at me like that, Captain Bennett? Have I done anything wrong?”

“You…”
