Felipe Jipson withdrew his gaze and clearly noticed Zayn's intentions. He then asked Zayn, "Why don't you go down and meet him?"
Zayn ignored him and turned his head to look out the window.
There was a maple tree right in front of the cafe. From this angle, he could see the tiny green shoots emerging. Spring in Atlantic City this year came extra late and passed extremely slowly as if time had been stretched out. It was just too slow.
Even though it was spring where new life began, this did not make Zayn feel delighted. He took a sip of the coffee that had long cooled and looked up at Felipe. He said in a casual tone, but he sounded like he did not have much patience left, "When will you close the net?"
Opposite him, the man raised his delicate eyebrows with some surprise and wariness. "Didn’t we already start..."
"You know that's not what I'm talking about." Zayn impatiently interrupted his words.
Felipe looked at him rather helplessly and shrugged. "It takes time. We only caught Dale Wagner. Although it’s explicitly because of Ms. Juhl's accident, the people who were involved with him heard this and started to hide. We’ve laid out such an intricate and large trap not to catch a few scapegoats."
After saying that, he also leisurely picked up his coffee and took a sip. He teased Zayn. "What, you can’t stand it any longer?"
His question was nonsense and he laughed at himself.
Zayn was initially uncooperative and later took the initiative to help. He knew that Zayn had his motives and knew it was because of Lindsey. However, Zayn was not ruled by his emotions. Every step he took was steady and calculated, which made them handle this case with great convenience. This was the first time Zayn showed such an impatient side.
"One month at most." Zayn stretched out one finger and repeated word by word for emphasis, "I'll cooperate for one more month."
Felipe finally put away the playfulness in his eyes. This time, he changed his tone. "Zayn, you know that one month is a little too tight for me."
Zayn was unmoved. He had the usual indifference on his face and looked uncompromising. "It's been almost a year and I don't have that much time to play along with you."
Felipe knew Zayn well. If Zayn said this, it meant that his patience was really exhausted. Zayn was also reminding him probably because of their relationship.
At the time when he was trying to convince Zayn to cooperate with him, he used Lindsey as an example so that Zayn would willingly cooperate with them. It was then that he noticed Lindsey's existence was like a double-edged sword to their operation. Thinking of Lindsey's influence on Zayn, Felipe felt a headache and tried another method. "Then what about..."
Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zayn. "I'll solve it. I can help you with anything that isn’t convenient for you to execute."
The law could convict criminals, but it could also keep a good person firmly within their boundaries. Zayn had never considered himself as a good or bad person.
He had done a lot of unseemly things, but he had never gone against his conscience.
All except for Lindsey!
He could not care less about what anyone else thought of him, except Lindsey.
The fact that Felipe became the Chief of Police at such a young age was not only due to the political contacts of the Jipson family for three generations, but also because of his decisiveness and ability.
They had been investigating and collecting evidence for nearly a year, and their net was extensively laid out. One month was a little rushed, but not impossible.
After Zayn got an affirmation from Felipe, he left without hesitation.
When she called the office, her colleague also said that her assistant did not go to work.
Just as she was ready to hang up, her colleague whispered to her, "Just now, Lydia was called in for a talk with the President and came down looking very glum. Is our department alright?"
Lindsey was stunned. What did this have to do with Lydia?
No one at the office knew what happened to her yesterday, so Shaun should have called on Lydia for work matters. However, Lindsey was not sure. She just said that she was on leave and did not know anything, then she hung up the phone.
Everything seemed to be a mess, and Lindsey had no clue, so she called Shaun.
Shaun picked up quickly. "Linds?"
"It's me, Brother." Lindsey licked the corners of her dry lips and spoke with uncertainty, "I heard from a colleague that you called Lydia to your office today. Did something happen?"
Lydia was now the Head of the Consulting Department, so she usually had many opportunities to see Shaun alone, but this time, their meeting was singled out.
Shaun did not expect Lindsey to know so quickly and did not deny it. "Yes, I was just asking for some things." His voice was a bit serious, but he did not tell her exactly what it was about.
Before Lindsey said anything, he continued, "We'll talk in detail when you come to the office. There’s one more thing. I dismissed your assistant and I'll send out a notice later."
Lindsey was completely dumbfounded this time. "What? Dismissed? Why did you fire her?"
