In the morning, Locke suddenly woke up, reaching for the bedside table in a hurry to check the time. He realized it was already past 8:20 AM. Panicking momentarily, he remembered forgetting to set his alarm last night, and he had to attend his swearing-in ceremony for his new job this morning.
However, he quickly realized he was at the Grange Apartments, and he relaxed. The journey from the Grange to Willshire would only take about ten minutes, leaving him with plenty of time.
Feeling the smoothness on his arm, Locke turned his head and saw a beautiful face with golden hair scattered around it, long eyelashes, a straight nose, luscious lips, and fair, dazzling skin.
After finishing their drinks at the Sky Bar last night, Randy and the others wanted to continue drinking, so they all headed to a nearby club.
As soon as they arrived at the club, beautiful women flocked to Locke, unable to resist his charm due to his good looks and muscular physique, making Randy, Nathan, and Thaddeus feel insecure. Encouraged by Elsa, they goaded Locke into charming the bar queen to prove his charisma, secretly hoping he would fail.
Yes, just as women flocked to Locke, there was also a striking rose on the other side of the club, attracting men like bees.
Recalling the passionate night from last night, Locke couldn't help but feel a surge of desire again. However, the thought of the morning's induction ceremony instantly sobered him up. The people of Los Angeles needed him more than ever!
He pushed aside the arms and legs entwined around him, rolled out of bed, and headed to the bathroom.
In no time, Locke finished washing up and came out naked to get dressed.
The woman in bed was already awake, admiring Locke's body with her deep blue eyes. Upon being noticed by Locke, she showed no signs of panic or embarrassment, calmly greeting him.
"Hi..."
"Hi..."
Locke was a bit at a loss. Based on last night's performance, this beautiful woman wasn't a tease because he had been the one leading the way throughout the night. However, her calm demeanor was very queenly.
Feeling uncomfortable under her intense gaze, Locke hurriedly put on a pair of underwear.
The woman exclaimed, "Your physique is amazing, like David's statue, symmetrical muscle structure, not just chasing after strength..."
Locke then slipped on a T-shirt, feeling somewhat relieved. He also praised, "Your figure is also great, curvy and smooth, like Venus..."
The woman got up from the bed, extending her delicate hand to Locke. Her hand was pale and cold, but thankfully, he could see green veins.
"Rachel Cole, last night was a wonderful night..."
"Locke Lee, um, I have urgent matters to attend to, so I'll leave first. When you leave, please remember to lock the door. Thank you!"
Locke shook hands with the woman. He had waited for two weeks and had level 2 skills; it couldn't not be wonderful.
His eyes couldn't help lingering on the woman, and he wasn't just flattering.
Among the women he had encountered, Rachel Cole was definitely top-tier, beating them all in looks, physique, taste, knowledge, and status.
Rachel Cole, despite her young age, was the chief surgeon of the thoracic surgery department at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, one of the top comprehensive hospitals in the United States and the largest hospital on the West Coast.
According to her, she was too busy to date but felt a lot of pressure and had physical needs to fulfill.
After their one-night stand, she was very satisfied with Locke both inside and out and invited him to be her long-term partner.
After the induction ceremony, Locke found David and proudly showed off his police badge. "David, don't call me a rookie anymore. Please call me Officer..."
However, David didn't seem pleased, snorting, "I reminded you last night not to be late, and you almost messed up your induction ceremony just now!"
Locke felt guilty and muttered, "There was a bit of an accident..."
At this point, Randy led Nathan and Thaddeus over. The three congratulated Locke, especially Nathan and Thaddeus, staring enviously at Locke's badge.
Randy directly asked, "Locke, last night, did you... with that lady?"
Encouraged by their teasing the previous night, Locke approached Rachel Cole for a conversation, and after hitting it off, they left the nightclub early.
Seeing all three of them staring intently at him, Locke shrugged helplessly, saying, "Don't ask. It's just as you imagine. Otherwise, why would I almost be late just now?"
"Damn!"
"Holy shit..."
"Yes..."
Excitedly, Randy reached out his hand to Nathan and Thaddeus, each of them handing him $10, looking dejected.
Taking the money, Randy waved to Mona and Elsa not far away. Obviously, they had also participated in this bet.
He put his arm around Locke's shoulder, arrogantly declaring, "Locke and I are of the same kind. We're irresistible at nightclubs."
"Fucking hell, Nathan, Thaddeus, you actually bet against me. You should really get your eyes checked. I just met a doctor from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center..."
"Randy, you actually bet on me. That's so disrespectful..."
"I think I should get half of the winnings...
