My Husband, Warm The Bed novel Chapter 1853

Adrienne thought of several candidates who could take over Quill, but they were all caught up in their own duties. There was no way any of them had the time to take over as the captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team.

The phone on her desk rang as she was pondering about it. She immediately answered, "Hello, forensic department, Adrienne speaking."

Zelson's voice came from the other end of the phone. "Adrienne, Quill's replacement has arrived. He wants all of us to gather in the conference room. Get ready."

"Oh, okay." Adrienne nodded in a daze, hung up the phone, and said to Linette, "I heard that the new captain has arrived, and he wants all of us in the conference room. I guess we'll know who he is soon. No need to keep guessing."

Linette nodded. "Okay."

In the conference room.

All the employees from each department were seated, including Quill. The captain's seat remained empty.

Everyone's eyes kept turning over to the entrance of the room, but they were disappointed.

Someone began to nag discontentedly, "What kind of arrogant a*shole is this? Is he trying to show off his power on the first day?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Quill already knew who it was, so he was very familiar with this arrogance. The new captain would not regard anyone in this room.

No, not everyone. Adrienne was an exception.

Thinking of Adrienne, Quill cast his eyes over to her. She was staring towards the entrance just like everyone else. Quill assumed that Jefferson hadn't told her in advance.

"Why can't we talk about it?" Another staff member said, "Sergeant Scott, you have led us for so many years. Every time we have a meeting, you are always the first to be in the conference room. He is a newcomer. Why is he so arrogant?"

Another person piped up, "Didn't someone question Sergeant Scott's ability two days ago? What's the use of praising him now?"

Many people in the team were tenured employees who had worked for Quill for many years. Most of them were content to be led by him. For many, it was like a bolt from the blue when Quill offered to be demoted this time.

"Sergeant Scott, I was angry that I haven't been able to uncover any evidence, so I spoke out of anger. I am not unsatisfied with you in any way." Olivia, who went against Quill the other day, truly blamed herself. If only she hadn't said so much the other day. "It was all my fault for not controlling myself!" she thought.

"Alright, everyone, enough." Quill waved his hand and motioned for everyone to be quiet. He looked at Olivia and responded, "I know you didn't mean it. I am the one who wanted to get a more capable person to take over. If we don't solve this case soon, none of us will be able to get a good night's sleep."

Everyone else kept silent. The new captain had called for a meeting but he was late, it was clear that he wasn't going to be a good captain to get along with. Hopefully, he would be really good at his job and at solving crimes.

Quill added, "You guys have to change the way you address me from now on. Just call me Quill."

"If everyone is done chatting, we can start the meeting now." At this moment, the door of the conference room opened. A tall figure appeared through the door as he spoke.

Before everyone could react, he sat down at the head of the conference table and introduced himself, "My name is Jefferson Hefner. I am the new captain of the Paramount Criminal Police Team. If there's anything you want to say, get it out now. After that, we'll start our work."

Jefferson Hefner!
