Silly Bride novel (Winnie and Xavier)

“No,” clarified Winnie. “I just passed by your station and met two police officers that I know. One of them is Greta. You should know her because you have seen her photo before.”

“By the way, I saw…” Halfway through her sentence, Lisanne lowered her voice all of a sudden. “Winnie, I can’t tell you much because this matter is confidential.”

“Confidential?” Instinctively, Winnie frowned. “It must be a big deal then.”

“Yes, but I really can’t share the details with you. Please don’t ask me anymore.”

Winnie acknowledged her request and said, “I understand. Since you can’t tell me, then I won’t ask. But, Lisanne, please don’t take unnecessary risks and stay safe always.”

Winnie was aware that both Greta and James were not ordinary police officers.

That was especially true for Greta. All her assignments were very challenging.

Winnie recalled the day when she sent the body of Mason over. Greta took the initiative and asked James for permission to participate in the investigation regarding Mason. However, James turned her down straight away and told her that their superiors had assigned another case to her.

Winnie assumed that the assignment that Greta had must be related to Lisanne and the science academy.

With that thought in mind, Winnie reminded her again, “You have to take care of your own safety. You are a scientist, not a combatant. No matter what you may encounter in the future, save yourself first.”

“Don’t worry, Winnie. The police will protect us. Furthermore, I’m not alone. Oh, crap! I slipped up again. I really can’t chat with you any longer. In a short while, I’ll be going to the Director’s office.”

“All right then. I won’t take up your time. Please remember what I told you.”

“Got it.” After a while, Lisanne said, “After this, you may not be able to get in touch with me for some time. But there’s no need to worry. It’s normal.”

“I understand. Bye.”
