Therefore, under such circumstances, facing the current situation, he had no other choices or reasons for hesitation and delay.
He needed to make it clear to the others about his ability to act.
Moreover, for himself, this was no time for jokes, he knew he had to at least understand the nature of the situation he was confronting.
He acted swiftly, soon after Violet left his office.
He appeared before Violet 'accidentally', very much like a persistent, pesky dog.
"Who would have thought to see you out and about on such a holiday, Captain?" He said with a laugh, a fake smile plastered on his face.
She didn't let him distract her, but his sudden appearance naturally slowed her pace.
Given the situation, he couldn't help but divert some of his attention to engage with this guy.
"I am only out for a stroll, Mr. Hawke, surely there is nothing much you need to remind me of."
Hearing what Violet said at this time, she immediately waved her hand and said decisively.
