As the night grew darker, the atmosphere on the terrace became heavier.

Upon noticing Gwendolyn’s furrowed brow and distant gaze, Cedrick tenderly embraced her and spoke softly. “I understand, I understand. Just look at you! Lately, you’ve been risking yourself in perilous locations because of this situation. You’ve lost a significant amount of weight. But now that we have a lead, leave the rest to me and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Please, don’t worry any longer, all right?”

Unable to find the right words to comfort him, Gwendolyn expressed her support by wrapping her arms around him and wordlessly nuzzling her head against his neck.

After a while, Cedrick delicately cupped Gwendolyn’s face in his hands and tenderly kissed her soft, rosy lips.

Then, he slowly slipped his hand under her nightdress and tenderly rubbed slow circles around her sensitive spot.

Gwendolyn moaned softly, and her entire body trembled with pleasure.

Cedrick brought her atop him, leaving the blanket discarded on the floor as their skin became illuminated by the moonlight.

The night turned to passion.

The following morning, under a cloudless sky, the sun shone brightly. Cedrick arose early and made his way to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

In the office, the air conditioner kept the air cool against the sun’s heat.

A stack of documents sat neatly on Cedrick’s desk. He typed away on his laptop, issuing orders in various languages.

Just then, a knock echoed on the door, and Jasper popped his head in, announcing, “Mr. Jenson, Mr. Kron has arrived.”

Channing’s robust laughter resonated from outside the door. “Ah, Team Nine, I’ve missed you guys. How about rejoining my team? I must admit, working with you all has been incredibly gratifying lately…”

Dressed in a burgundy suit, Channing exuded an air of jubilation. He entered the room with an enormous smile on his face, giving Jasper’s shoulder a friendly pat as he passed by him.

Jasper awkwardly shrugged off his hand and countered in a stony voice, “We only get along because of the rules in place.”

With that single sentence, Channing was abruptly reminded of the jurisdiction he was in. Since he was there to meet the head of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, he’d better adhere to their protocols and regulations.
