Operation: Cobra Is Back novel Chapter 74

However, Duncan said with a matter-of-fact look on his face, "Ready for what? Vivian, you must get the wrong idea, I just came in a hurry and forgot to bring money. Vivian, is it okay for you to treat me to a meal?"

"A meal?"

Vivian froze for a moment, then her pretty face blushed. It turned out that she had thought too much.

"Is it very difficult? In that case, let's forget it ..."

Duncan said with a hurt look on his face.

"No. I'll treat you to lunch today!"

Being flirted by Duncan, Vivian's heart had long been in turmoil, and she hurriedly spoke firmly.

Duncan looked pleased and smiled, "Okay, then we have a deal. I'll see you at noon!"

Vivian felt that Duncan had put her in a complicated mood today. She nodded with her face blushed and didn’t dare to say more to him as she led the way.

They were going to report to the security department. On the way, because of Vivian's presence, they attracted a lot of people to glance at them frequently.

"Holy shit, who is that man? He's so close to Vivian!"

"I don't know. Could he be Vivian's boyfriend?"

"What? Vivian actually has a boyfriend?"

The crowd looked dumbfounded. Amid the murmur, Vivian's pretty face turned even redder.

Luckily, this didn't last long. Ten minutes or so later, they arrived at the security department.

Alan had just taken up his post and was reprimanding his subordinates in his office. When he saw Duncan and Vivian enter, he instantly smiled.

"Duncan, you're finally here!"

As he spoke, he greeted Duncan with big strides and heavily patted him on the shoulder.

In the morning, Alan had spoken up for Duncan, so Duncan had a good feeling about him and replied with a smile, "We're not disturbing you, are we?"

"No, no."

Alan smiled brightly and nodded to Vivian as a greeting. Vivian then smiled and said, "Alan, I'll leave Duncan to you. I'm going to go back to work."

"Okay!"

Alan certainly wouldn't refuse. After Vivian left, he brought Duncan to the crowd and introduced him grandly, "This is Duncan, you'll all be working together from now on."

Most of the people smiled at Duncan, but there was a small group of people who looked at Duncan with unkindness in their eyes.

As the saying went, where there were people, there would be all kinds of strife, and this was especially true of the security department of a large group.

Duncan had gotten rid of Gim Parker, who still had some henchmen in the company, so naturally, they would not have any good feelings towards him.

Moreover, when Gim was here before, they still had a lot of money to make. But when Gim was sacked, they lost their benefits and blamed these things directly on Duncan.

Only, because Alan was there, they did not dare to speak up.

"Duncan, thank you so much for today. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have been promoted!"

Alan looked at Duncan and said sincerely.

Duncan waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. You're very capable, or the president wouldn't have let you take over as the head, right?"

He laughed loudly and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about it. You are so noble and dignified, and you will surpass me one day. When the time comes, I'll have to ask you to take care of me more!"

The time passed quickly as the two of them bragged about each other.

After all, Duncan was Alyssa's personal bodyguard, and without Alyssa's dispatch, he didn't have much to do, so he just wandered around the company.

"Payne, should we ..."

At this moment, several people standing in the corner glanced at Duncan with an unkind gaze.

The man who was called Payne was a bald fat man. He was a veteran who had retired from the army and was usually Gim's right-hand man.

Now that Gim was gone, he naturally became the backbone of these people.

"Don't make a fuss for now. Let’s listen to Mr.Richards's instructions!"

Payne sneered, and the other men's eyes lit up as they nodded.

Duncan knew nothing about this. Finally, he waited until the noon break, and Vivian called him on time.

The two agreed to meet in front of the company. Duncan hung up the phone and was just walking out of the company when a beige Volkswagen Beetle drove by. The window fell down, revealing Vivian's good-looking face.

"Duncan, here!"

Duncan walked up and without saying much, opened the passenger seat door and just sat in, "Vivian, where are you taking me for a big meal?"

Vivian rolled her eyes at Duncan and drove the car up the road.

"I'm just an assistant. What big meal can I take you to? Let's just go to a random restaurant nearby, and this is also considered to be a welcome meal for you."

Duncan had little interest in food. Of course, he didn't want to get in touch with Vivian because she was pretty.

The reason he came to the Kent Group was that he had accepted the request of the JN City Military District.

JN City Military District and the Kent Group have been working together on a campaign. But as long as the research was not successful, the JN City Military District could not be exposed.

Because Alyssa's research was very special, and once it was revealed that she had links with the military, it would definitely cause a big stir.

So, they found Duncan, who was supposed to protect Alyssa, and with the support of the military district, it was even easier for him to do it, so they naturally hit it off immediately.

When he arrived at the Kent Group, he was unfamiliar with this place, and if he wanted to get some useful information, he naturally needed to start with Alyssa's assistant.

Of course, Vivian did not know what Duncan had in mind. Not long after, the two of them stopped in front of a rather upscale restaurant.

"Vivian? What a coincidence!"

Just as they were walking through the door, a woman's voice came from the side.

The two turned their heads to look, and they saw a rather attractive woman greeting them with a smile. Judging from her figure and appearance, she was considered to be a beauty.

"Bonnie? Why are you here?"

Seeing her, Vivian frowned slightly and greeted her politely without going forward. Obviously, she didn't want to have too deep contact with her.

This person was Vivian's classmate, and roommate, from her university days. Because both of them were relatively outstanding beauties in the school, this Bonnie Morgan often sought trouble with Vivian.

Vivian was also aware of her tricks, but didn't pay too much attention to her and chose to stay away from her.

"Oh, I came over here for dinner with my boyfriend. What a coincidence. We haven't seen each other for a long time either!"

Bonnie acted as if she was really cordial and took Vivian's arm before she was about to leave. She inadvertently glanced at Duncan, and noticing that Duncan was dressed in ordinary clothes, a hint of contempt appeared in her eyes.

"This is?"

Vivian didn't want to talk to her much, but Duncan keenly sensed the contempt in Bonnie's eyes, so he gave a playful smile and spoke graciously, "Hi, I'm Duncan, Vivian's boyfriend!"
