In the afternoon, Joyce took a short nap and woke up. Today, she didn't plan to go to the company. She wanted to go to the shopping center to pick out some baby supplies. Ever since she found out that she was pregnant with twins, her heart had been filled with anticipation. Although there was still no news about Iris, and she felt a little disappointed, she had to pull herself together. She needed to find something to distract her attention.
After all, every matter that arises cannot be solved in a short time.
After experiencing so much, she had gradually grown accustomed to adapting and enduring.
She tidied herself up, changed into loose clothing, and Darrin had already started the car, waiting for her. Joyce got into the passenger seat.
Darrin stepped on the accelerator and set off, heading to the bustling Harrods Department Store Center in the city center.
Joyce glanced at Darrin apologetically. "Hehe, the prestigious school participant has fallen to become a driver, bodyguard, and even accompanying me to the department store. I really feel guilty, Darrin. How about I talk to my father and have someone else replace you? Someone who was originally doing office work would be more suitable. You should go back to managing the Silver Eagles."
"Commander, the Silver Eagles have been disbanded," Darrin reminded her.
"We can establish another special forces unit. In any case, you should lead a special forces team and carry out special missions. That would be more suitable. Don't waste your time with me," Joyce said, leaning against her forehead and looking out the window.
"Commander, do you really think the Commander-in-Chief hasn't considered these things?" Darrin glanced at Joyce from the corner of his eye, his expression becoming serious.
Joyce straightened her posture. "What do you mean? Has my father assigned other secret missions to you?"
"Commander, I'm sorry, but I can't disclose that. I've already said enough," Darrin smiled. "Commander, you don't have to burden yourself. I really enjoy my current life."
Joyce remained silent. What did he mean by enjoying his current life?
Darrin took a deep breath. "As the head of the Silver Eagles, I always needed to conceal my identity. In the eyes of outsiders, I was just an inconspicuous serviceman. So, Commander, you have never heard of me, have you?"
Joyce nodded. Yes, indeed, she had never heard of the person behind the Silver Eagles.
Darrin glanced outside the window. "Now, I can live in the sunlight, and I already feel satisfied."
Joyce didn't say anything. She began to understand Darrin's thoughts. The days of hiding were not easy, and over time, one might even forget who they were. Even if they made sacrifices, they might not be able to clear their name.
"Alright, since my father has assigned you other secret missions, I won't mention this matter again in the future," Joyce respected Darrin's choice.
After a while, Darrin parked the car in an underground parking lot.
They entered the mall through an express elevator. Joyce was not interested in shopping, so she headed straight to the seventh floor where the baby and infant products were located.
As the elevator doors opened, she walked to the baby counter and began to browse.
A salesperson approached her with enthusiasm and asked, "May I ask if you are shopping for personal use or as a gift?"
"For personal use. I want to look at some items for boys. I also need a baby crib," Joyce replied.
"Alright, let me introduce them to you," the salesperson detailedly introduced various related products to Joyce, including bottles, toys, and various clothes that would be needed.
Joyce had experience taking care of children.
After listening to the introduction, she selected suitable bottles and some clothes based on the expected due date.
While wandering in front of the counter, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a somewhat familiar figure from the corner of her eye.
At first, she wasn't sure, but after a closer look, she confirmed that it was indeed Reuben. Reuben was accompanied by the female bodyguard she had seen at the National Hospital last time, or perhaps she was his subordinate.
He had actually come to the baby counter to shop?
Joyce was truly surprised.
Today, Reuben was dressed in a casual baseball outfit. Compared to the flashy appearance when she met him at the National Hospital, he looked much fresher. His silver hair was still eye-catching and drew exclamations from the salespeople.
