Chapter 36 - Substituting for Work

"So boring."

Smith laid on the sofa in his office.

It has been a week since Ophelia was taken into the investigation department. She has not been out since. 

Smith was depressed.

He could go out and find poor prostitutes for warmth.

However, their bodies and looks were not on the same level as Ophelia's despite them being skilled workers.

Smith lost interest instantly after thinking about how many customers they provide service to every day. 

"Boss, do you want a cup of tea?"

"No, just let me lie down here for a while..."

Smith was speaking halfway when he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

He initially thought that it was Eve who asked him, but it did not sound like her. Her voice sounded more like Ophelia.

Smith got up and saw that it was indeed Ophelia.

"Why are you out?" asked Smith.

"Why are you surprised, Boss Chen? Isn't it incredible? The spy that you personally sent in for investigation had been released."

"Do you want me to get shot or locked up for life?" asked Ophelia with narrowed eyes.

"No, you know that's not what I meant. I'm happy, really happy!" 

Smith shook his head immediately.

"Hmph!"

Ophelia snorted coldly and was very dissatisfied with Smith's answer.

At the same time, Eve walked over.

"Boss, Ophelia will take over my future works. She will also be the liaison between the investigator and you," said Eve.

"What? How did she become an investigator?"

He could not understand it at all.

A week ago, she was a spy for the secret investigation organization.

A week later, she became an investigator. 

"According to our assessment, Ophelia is fully capable of becoming a special investigator."

"Plus, ever since Ophelia changed sides, she had taught us a lot about the training of new recruits for the secret investigation organization."

"Therefore, we specially recruited Ophelia to be our field officer. She is specifically responsible for communicating with the boss."

Eve smiled.

Smith's expression was a little stiff. He looked at Ophelia and did not know what to say.

A week ago, Smith treated Ophelia like a spy. He had dealt with Ophelia through various means. 

A week later, Ophelia had successfully infiltrated the investigators and was also in charge of communicating with him.

"Boss, do you have any other questions?" asked Eve whilst smiling.

Eve looked at Smith who was in a daze.

"Can you change the investigator to someone else?" asked Smith. He was being cautious. 

"Why? Do you think I'm not suitable?"

Ophelia questioned Smith before Eve could even respond. 

"No, how can that be? I'm just afraid that you'll be tired."

Smith shook his head.

"Okay, since the boss is fine, I'll leave first. From now on, I'll do the company's internal work, and Ophelia will take over as the Secretary."

Eve then left the office. 

"Do you want some tea? I'll make some tea for you," said Smith. He felt a little awkward.

"I wouldn't dare to trouble the boss to make tea."

"What are you angry about?" 

Smith suddenly felt a little angry.

She used to be a spy.

After Ophelia stared at him for a long time, her eyes suddenly turned red. She laid on his sofa and cried.

Smith was stunned. He did not know whether he should go and comfort her. 

In the end, he just turned around and left the office. 

When Smith walked out of the office, he saw Eve. He wanted to ask her to change investigators.

However, before he could even speak, Eve said, "Boss, you can talk to her. She's actually a good girl. Your previous methods were a little too much. Just coax her well. She still cares about you."

Eve smiled.

"No, I'm... forget it."

Smith turned around and asked Barrett to go out with him. He was going to take a walk around the construction site to relax.

"Boss, you can enjoy your life in the future."

"You have no idea. When your classmate was in our department, she specifically consulted an instructor who taught female special personnel. She wanted to improve her professional knowledge on how to use women's advantages to obtain information under special circumstances."

"Based on my understanding, she learned it specifically for you, boss."

"So, boss, you understand?" Barrett continued.

Under special circumstances, using her own advantages to obtain information…

Professional knowledge?

"Is that what I think it is?"

After Smith reacted, he shouted.

"Yes, that's what it is," replied Barrett whilst nodding.

He was wrong about her. She even went to learn that for him. 

"Did I go a little overboard just now?"

"Turn around immediately! We need to go back to the company. I don't want to go to the construction site anymore," said Smith loudly.

"Ah…" Barrett was a little dumbfounded.

On the way back, Smith took out his phone.

He was researching on how to coax a girl so that she would not be angry.

A bunch of answers appeared instantly.

There were suggestions such as buying gifts, using romantic words, accompanying her shopping, emptying the shopping cart, and so on.

Unfortunately, all of the suggestions were not suitable for his current situation.

Smith was about to reach his company. He was very anxious because he did not have any experience in this area.

The answers on the internet were mostly nonsense.

Suddenly, Smith found the answer on his phone. 

Someone wrote, "What are you trying to coax her for? Is she your girlfriend? Are you done with her?"

"As long as you're done with her, there's no need to coax her. Just bring her home and get it over with."

 Smith was instantly enlightened after seeing his reply. 

That is right. Get it over with. 

He was good at it after all. 

When Smith returned to his office, Ophelia stopped crying. She was sitting on the sofa sulking.

When she saw that Smith had returned, she also ignored him.

Smith followed the advice from the internet and rushed up to her.
