Journey to Happy Ending

Chapter 1567 Visiting The Army Base (Part Four)

"Major General, can we end this punishment now?" Lee asked a bit hesitantly, pulling him out of his

thoughts. The soldiers were being punished and had been half-standing in the field for more than two

hours now. They had also missed lunch time. Lee thought that maybe this was enough.

"Yes. That's enough. Let them go eat lunch," said Kevin. He glanced at the time on his watch and

nodded in agreement. This kind of punishment was a necessary evil. If he didn't punish them for

messing up, they might never learn. That was not something he wanted to see from his subordinates.

"Understood, Major General," Lee saluted and immediately ran to the training field to relieve them from

the hell they had been in. He had a feeling that the Major General might go easy on them. It must have

had something to do with the phone call he had just answered. But that was just his guess.

Looking at Lee's retreating back, the corners of Kevin's lips lifted into a smirk. Then, he turned around

and walked to his office. He still had some paperwork to finish.

"Looks like I am no longer the Devil Drillmaster anymore. You are the real Devil here," a voice said from

behind him as he walked into the building. He stopped and turned to look at the owner of the voice.

Daisy was quickly walking towards him. It looked like she was in a hurry.

"I learned it all from you," Kevin immediately countered. He rubbed his nose a bit sheepishly. He was

always worried about his soldiers. And this time, he had lost his cool and decided to punish them

harshly for their mistake. He wanted them to remember the pain and not repeat their errors. It was for

their own good.

"Hey, don't drag me into this. You make it sound like I really am a cruel drillmaster," Daisy protested.

She was strict with the soldiers, that was true. But she would never admit that she was cruel and cold

towards them while they were in training. She surely didn't deserve that nickname.

"Where are you going? You seem to be in a hurry," asked Kevin.

"Oh, right! I almost forgot. I have some urgent errands to run downtown, so I don't have time to watch

over the Falcon training. You can take over, right? Sorry to dump this on you in the last minute." The

Falcon was a specially formed secret squad of elite soldiers. So the less people knew about it, the

better. They were keeping it under wraps. That was why only Kevin and Daisy were in charge of their

training. Now that Daisy was occupied, Kevin had to take her place for the day.

"No problem, don't worry about it. You take care of things on your side," Kevin replied while nodding his

head. Daisy didn't tell him what exactly she was going to do this afternoon, but he wasn't planning to

ask again. Everyone had their own secrets, especially when it came to professions like theirs. Kevin

figured that whatever she was going to do was either a secret mission or some personal matter. He had

no right to ask.

"I will," she said and then teased him playfully, "You know what, you are not as cold and distant as

people say you are." Kevin smirked. To him, Daisy was more like a little sister than some mighty Senior

Colonel, or the famous Devil Drillmaster. His feelings for Daisy were totally platonic now and she had

become a good friend to him.

"You are the one who is always cold and distant, not me," Kevin scoffed. He had a pretty smile on his

face, making him look more handsome than ever.

"All right, all right. Whatever floats your boat. Anyway, I should get going. Mark is waiting for me." Daisy

waved her hand and turned around to leave. But after a few steps, she turned her head back all of a

sudden and said, "Kevin, be good to Leena, okay?" She said that out of nowhere, then walked away in

a hurry again, leaving a shocked Kevin behind.

Kevin just stood there, staring at her back, with a confused look on his face. He had a feeling that Daisy

was suggesting something, but he didn't know what exactly she was hinting at. He planned to carefully

think about it later.

Leena arrived at the army base earlier than expected. But she didn't enter the military compound yet,

because she was in a bad mood. She didn't have the energy to talk to the soldiers' wives today. She

was tired and just wanted to see Kevin and go home together.

She looked around to see if Lee was waiting for her. He wasn't. She had arrived too early. But she

didn't want to call Kevin either. She just sat in her car, eyes fixed on the big gate of the army base,

thinking of everything and nothing. She decided to stay in the car and wait.

The soldiers at the gate of the army base recognized the beautiful Ferrari because their Major General

had driven it there more than once. One of them ran inside to inform Kevin that his wife was waiting

outside. So Leena didn't have to wait for too long. A few minutes later, Lee appeared at the gate and

ran towards Leena's car.

"Leena, you are early. The Major General told me that you would not be here until at least 5 o'clock."

Although it was already autumn and the weather was chilly, Lee still had a thin layer of sweat on his

forehead because he had run all the way to the gate.

"I didn't think I'd be here this early either. Is Kevin still busy?" asked Leena. She couldn't tell Lee that

she had intentionally arrived an hour earlier. She didn't want Lee to tell that to Kevin and worry him

unnecessarily. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

"Yes, he is still working. He is in the middle of something important right now and is not in his office at

the moment. How about letting me give you a tour around the army base? I don't think you have visited

before, have you?" asked Lee. He didn't know what else to do with Leena because Kevin hadn't given

him any particular instruction. It was a good idea to accompany Leena in visiting the army base. After

all, she seldom had a chance to visit the base, and she was a curious one. Lee assumed that she

might enjoy it.
