Kendrix smiled faintly as if he wasn't bothered.
He continued browsing the bookcase and took two books with him. He placed one book away. It was as if he had already picked this book beforehand.
Gary wasn't interested in the books at all. In fact, he found this person who completely ignored him to be quite interesting.
His eyes flickered and a smile appeared on his lips. He seemed to have come up with a plan. "Mr. Trevino, I'd like to propose something else."
Without raising his head, Kendrix simply asked, "What is it?"
"I'll ask my sister here and let you take her to school." Gary smiled faintly. There was a devilish smirk in his smile.
Kendrix was having a neutral expression instead. It seemed like he was already expecting to hear this.
It was slightly killing the vibe to see Kendrix not being anxious.
Gary asked again, "What do you think?"
"Have you really thought it over?" Kendrix asked.
Their conversation somehow sounded like that of two old friends. They didn't sound too awkward with each other.
Gary nodded and said, "I have."
"But then, I might not agree to do this," Kendrix said.
"You'll definitely do it." Gary laughed confidently. "You're a police officer. It's your job to serve justice and protect the public. You should've known this before choosing this career path."
"Who knows, I might not be a decent policeman like you expected to see," Kendrix said.
"Exactly. That's just one of the possibilities." Gary had already seen through him. "You're only acting like this because you know how deeply in love my sister is with you. There is no way for you to return the feelings, hence you wish to stop this as soon as possible."
Kendrix's gaze slightly froze before giving a faint smile.
Gary knew that he was right about this.
"However, you clearly don't know my sister well," Gary continued saying, "She's not someone who will give up that easily just because you give her the cold shoulder or yell at her."
Gary knew Sylvia well enough to know how obsessed she was with some things, like the wiretapping incident.
She would only stop if she was too upset to continue.
If that was the case, why wouldn't he at least try to protect her dignity?
He knew how determined Sylvia could be.
Besides, how could he allow Kendrix to take the lead in this?
The decision- making should still be in Sylvia's hands, instead of Kendrix's.
Kendrix raised his gaze at Gary and noticed the understanding in his eyes.
He nodded and said, "Even if you say so, she might not even listen to you, let alone be willing to leave with me."
