堂堂市公安局副局长啊，Laura Quinn又何时落魄到这等程度！偏生就算三番五次被那个小年轻给看了，还发不得火，甚至认真说起来还得谢谢人家！

A dignified deputy director of the city public security bureau—when did Laura Quinn ever fall to such a state! And yet, even after being seen by that young man several times, she couldn’t even get angry. In fact, if she were to be serious, she’d even have to thank him!

What kind of logic is that!

Jack Carter quickly took out a white T-shirt and handed it to Laura Quinn. But remembering that the shirt was bought from a street stall, he felt a bit embarrassed and said, “I don’t have any good clothes here, so you’ll have to make do with this.”

After speaking, with the benefit of experience, Jack Carter sensibly turned around and went back to the bedroom right away.

Seeing Jack Carter return to the bedroom, Laura Quinn hurriedly took off her shirt and changed into Jack Carter’s white T-shirt. But after putting it on, realizing that it was originally worn by Jack Carter, she couldn’t help but feel a strange, indescribable sensation.

“I’m done changing, you can come out now.” After getting dressed, Laura Quinn called out toward the bedroom.

Hearing this, Jack Carter came out again. When he looked up, his eyes couldn’t help but light up. His shirt on Laura Quinn looked a bit oversized and mismatched, but it gave off a casual, lazy beauty. Especially with her full chest pushing up the loose T-shirt, it exuded a unique, mature allure.

Of course, seeing his own clothes on a mature woman, Jack Carter also felt a vague, indescribable feeling.

Noticing Jack Carter staring at her, Laura Quinn uncharacteristically felt a bit awkward. But soon, she tugged at the shirt and said calmly, “Anyway, I want to thank you for taking me in last night, and for the clothes. I’ll return them to you another day.”

“You’re welcome. The shirt isn’t worth much, so you really don’t need to bother.” Although the T-shirt wasn’t worth much, Jack Carter, who didn’t have much to his name, still felt a bit reluctant. But thinking that it would be awkward if they met again, he pretended to be generous.

Although Laura Quinn also wished she wouldn’t have to see Jack Carter again, seeing that Jack Carter seemed just as eager to avoid her, she couldn’t help but feel a bit annoyed and disappointed. After all, she was a beauty—and one whose body he had seen! Jack Carter’s response always gave her the inexplicable feeling of a man pulling up his pants and leaving right after the deed.

“No, I will return it to you. I know you work at BLUENIGHT bar,” Laura Quinn blurted out.

Hearing this, a trace of surprise flashed in Jack Carter’s eyes. He had barely interacted with Laura Quinn last night, and most of the time he stood quietly in inconspicuous spots, only stepping forward when guests needed to settle their bills. He hadn’t expected Laura Quinn to recognize him.

What Jack Carter didn’t know was that Laura Quinn was a police officer with extraordinary powers of observation. Even though she went to the bar last night to drown her sorrows, her professional habits made her quietly observe her surroundings while drinking. Jack Carter was a waiter, moving around the bar all night. As an outstanding officer who had worked her way up from the bottom, how could Laura Quinn not recognize Jack Carter after just one night?

“All right then, my name is Jack Carter—‘Xia’ as in summer, ‘Yun’ as in white cloud, and ‘Jie’ as in outstanding. If you come to the bar, just tell them my name,” Jack Carter said, seeing that Laura Quinn insisted. Besides, he was indeed strapped for cash and needed to be frugal, so he nodded in agreement.

“My name is Laura Quinn—‘Qin’ as in Qin Shi Huang, and ‘Lan’ as in cloud mist,” Laura Quinn replied out of habit after Jack Carter introduced himself. But as soon as she finished, she regretted it deeply.

She was the deputy director of the city public security bureau. Although she rarely appeared on TV or in newspapers, her name and photo were still listed on the bureau’s official website. Even though the photo looked quite different from her real-life appearance, especially in casual clothes, if Jack Carter paid attention to the bureau’s website, it wouldn’t be hard for him to connect the name Laura Quinn to her true identity. If that happened, it would be a complete disaster!

Fortunately, after she introduced herself, Jack Carter didn’t show any unusual reaction, which put her a bit at ease. “By the way, where’s my bag?” she asked.

If Laura Quinn hadn’t mentioned it, Jack Carter would have almost forgotten. He quickly replied, “Actually, I was planning to take you to a hotel last night, but I couldn’t find your bag, so I had no choice but to bring you home. By the way, was there anything valuable in it? If so, you should report it to the police as soon as possible!”

Hearing that her bag wasn’t with Jack Carter, Laura Quinn actually felt secretly relieved. There was some cash, her phone, and her ID and police badge in the bag. If Jack Carter had gotten hold of it last night, her identity as deputy director would have been exposed. As for someone else taking it, she wasn’t really worried.

After all, her status as deputy director of the city public security bureau was no joke. Among the pickpockets in Jiangzhou, how many didn’t know her name? Anyone daring to steal her bag must not want to stay in Jiangzhou!

“All right, I understand. Thank you, goodbye!” Since her bag wasn’t with Jack Carter, Laura Quinn didn’t want to stay in the room a moment longer. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said crisply.

With that, she turned and walked toward the door. Her hips, wrapped in the hem of the T-shirt, looked round and perky, exuding a mature woman’s unique sensuality.
