Chapter 793

During the meeting, Chad's apprentice, Donnie, whispered cheekily, "Boss, who was that gorgeous lady just now? If I tell Molly, do you think she'll storm the police station?" Chad gave Donnie a look that shut him up instantly.

Annie was sitting in the back row, zoning out as she stared at the figure in front of her.

Her colleague nudged her arm, "Hey Annie, what's up? You seem a bit off today."

"Huh? Oh, it's nothing." Annie lowered her head to her notebook, jotting down whatever was being discussed to keep her mind focused and prevent it from wandering.

Her colleagues were puzzled by her behavior.

"Annie, what do you feel like for lunch? I'm quick on my feet; I can run and grab us something."

Annie shook her head, "I'll get it myself. Let's just focus on the meeting."

"Alright."

At lunchtime, Donnie trailed behind Chad. "Boss, now that you and Molly are married, she hasn't visited our unit. Is it because you told her not to, or is she just shy about being married to her 'brother' and facing us?" Chad side-eyed him, "Why the twenty questions?"

Donnie smirked, "Just curious, boss."

When Chad and Annie bumped into each other at the food station, Donnie immediately greeted, "Hey Detective Annie, I'm Donnie from Economic Crimes, nice to meet you."

Annie nodded slightly, "Hi, I'm Annie from Homicide."

Chad shot Donnie a look, "You're talking too much."

Donnie: "Boss, what do you mean?"

Annie smiled, "He means you're wordy."

Donnie: "Boss, hanging out with Molly has really sharpened your wit."

Chad didn't pick anything, telling Annie, "Go ahead and order."
