Lisa was obviously ignorant of this question and began to talk about her recent life. She talked about a successful case of her design, mentioned some recent partners, and complained about some minor troubles in her work. Kate listened carefully, nodded from time to time and occasionally made a joke or two.
Lynn just sat aside, occasionally looking up at Kate, but more often, his eyes stayed in the coffee cup. Lisa's words looked like background noise to him. He didn't feel bored or ignored, but he just felt that all this had nothing to do with him.
"Kate, you must come to my room to check it out. I brought some latest design drafts and show you the jewelry I bought recently." Lisa suddenly grabbed Kate's hand and said excitedly.
Kate hesitated for a moment and looked back at Lynn, "Uh... Lynn, do you mind? I might be leaving for a while."
Lynn shook his head lightly, "Go, I'll take a break here."
Kate's expression was a little apology, and she smiled and patted Lynn on the shoulder, "Okay, then don't run away, wait for me to come back."
Lynn watched them leave, leaning on the back of the chair, watching Kate's back disappear at the end of the hotel corridor. He put down the coffee cup in his hand, lit a cigarette, and looked at the sea in the distance through the rising smoke.
Have a break? Maybe, but he knew that he was not good at rest. His mind is still running at high speed, and even in this kind of vacation environment, his mind remains highly alert.
Ten minutes later, Lynn heard a sound that was not right.
It was the quarrel outside the hotel gate. He frowned, stened the cigarette in his hand, and stood up and walked towards the sound. When he walked to the lobby, he saw a tall man arguing with the hotel security guard. The man looked angry and his voice grew louder.
Lynn glanced at him and soon noticed that a piece of the man seemed to be bulging around his waist. He quickly walked forward and approached the security guard, "What happened?"
The security guard looked nervous, obviously frightened by the man's aura, "He came from outside and seemed to have some disputes with a certain guest, but he was unwilling to leave."
Lynn's eyes swept coldly to the man, his voice low and powerful, "Get out of here. Now."
The man turned his head and seemed to be stunned when he saw Lynn, but then he showed a disdainful expression, "Who are you? Hotel security guard or police?"
Lynn approached step by step, his eyes piercing straight into the man's heart like a knife, "No matter who I am, you shouldn't cause trouble here. Say again, leave."
The man subconsciously took a step back, but his expression was still tough. He seemed to want to say something, but when Lynn approached close enough, he couldn't help but raise his hands and slowly backed back, "Okay, okay, I'll go."
After watching the man leave, Lynn turned to the security guard and said, "Next time I encounter this situation, call the police directly."
The security guard nodded with a grateful look on his face, "Thank you, sir."
When Lynn returned to the café, Kate and Lisa were walking out of the hotel corridor. Kate was obviously very happy. She was holding a few Lisa's design drafts in her hand, and was excited to tell her something.
"Lynn!" Kate's voice came through the crowd, and she quickly walked up to him, "How long have you been here? Sorry, Lisa has so much to show me."
"It's okay." Lynn glanced at her, and said calmly, "It just happened to be something to deal with."
Kate frowned, "What's the matter?"
"Nothing." Lynn replied lightly, "It's just that there's a guy making trouble, it's been resolved."
A trace of worry flashed in Kate's eyes when he looked at him, but was quickly replaced by a smile, "Well, it seems you always have a way to solve the problem. I'll treat you to a drink later, which is a pity."
Lynn nodded, saying nothing more.
As night falls, the streets of Hawaii are still very lively. The street stalls wafted out the fragrance, tourists wore light summer clothes, hang out in groups of three or three, or poured into the brightly lit bars and restaurants. The air was mixed with the sound of brisk music and the low moan of the waves in the distance, as if the whole city was trapped in a lazy relaxation.
Lynn stood outside a low-key bar, his hands in his pockets, and his eyes calmly looked at the neon lights at the door. Kate and Lisa went out together a few hours ago, saying they wanted to "go for a walk by the beach." But Lynn's intuition told him that something wasn't right.
He was not a person who easily doubted others, but Lisa's actions made him feel vaguely uneasy. Her smile was too deliberate, and there seemed to be something hidden in her words that could not be said. Coupled with her sudden disappearance tonight, Lynn's intuition told him that Lisa had a secret hidden in her.
He pushed open the bar door and walked in quietly. The bar was dimly lit and the air was filled with the smell of alcohol and tobacco. The band played enthusiastic music in the corners, and several tourists danced happily on the dance floor, and the atmosphere seemed harmless.
Lynn swept his eyes across the room, his eyes quickly locking the target like a radar. He saw Lisa. She sat at the bar, wearing a dress that was brighter than during the day, and her makeup on her face became much heavier. She was talking to a man, with a professional smile on her face, and the man's hand was already maliciously resting on her shoulder.
Lynn stood at the door, frowning slightly. Instead of rushing to act, he chose to approach the other side of the bar, ordered a glass of wine, and observed quietly.
Lisa looked at ease, her fingers gently swiped across the edge of the wine glass, and she talked to the man in a delicate tone, but from the occasional flash of eyes, Lynn captured a trace of uneasiness and fatigue. It was not the look of a person who enjoyed the moment, but a person wearing a mask.
"Why is she here?" Lin En secretly wondered. The words Lisababy and Kate said seemed to point to a decent lifestyle. The design work she mentioned and her life experience were all incompatible with the scene in front of her.
A few minutes later, the man seemed to be drinking a little too much, his movements became more presumptuous, and his hands slid along Lisa's shoulders towards her waist. Lisa's smile stiffened, as if she wanted to break free, but she didn't want to attract attention, so she could only continue to pretend to be natural.
Lynn's eyes turned cold, and he put down the wine glass in his hand, got up and walked towards Lisa. His pace was steady and powerful, as if the noise of the entire bar could not interfere with his aura.
"Lisa." Lynn's low voice came from behind, interrupting the man's movement.
Lisa's body froze instantly, she suddenly turned around, and when she saw Lynn, the smile on her face disappeared in an instant, replaced by a complex emotion - surprise, panic, and a hint of shame that could not be concealed. .
"Linn? Why are you here?" She forced a smile and tried to hide her unnaturalness.
Lynn did not answer, but looked at the man coldly, his eyes as if he were a knife, "I need to talk to her. You can go now."
The man was obviously confused about drinking, but he also saw that Lynn's attitude could not be refuted. He stood up reluctantly, threw down a swear word, and left staggeringly.
Lisa frowned and stood up to leave, but was blocked by Lynn.
"What are you doing?" she whispered, with a hint of anger in her tone, "This is my business, it has nothing to do with you."
"Does Kate know what you're doing here?" Lynn ignored her rebuttal, but instead raised the question directly, staring at her for a moment.
Lisa's face changed. Her lips moved, as if she wanted to refute, but in the end she said nothing. After a moment, she lowered her head and sighed a long time.
"Okay." Her voice became low and tired. "Since you saw it, there is no need for me to hide it. Kate doesn't know, and I don't want her to know."
Lynn didn't answer, but just looked at her quietly, waiting for her to continue talking.
Lisa raised her head, a hint of anger and self-deprecating flashed in her eyes, "Do you think I am the successful designer she said? No, my job is gone long ago. My life is a mess, I need money, and this is My only way."
"Wine with me?" Lynn's voice did not fluctuate at all, but it made Lisa subconsciously tense her body.
"Yes," Lisa said gritting her teeth, "Go to drink, make men happy, and earn enough money to pay the debt I owe. I have no choice."
Lynn's brow frowned even more, "You can choose to tell Kate that she will help you."
"Help me?" Lisa sneered, "Kate is a good person, but she will never understand. She will try to change me, try to 'save' me, but you know? I don't need her sympathy. I just want to Solve these problems yourself.”
Lynn was silent for a moment, his eyes remained calm, but his tone became a little deeper, "Your approach will put yourself in a deeper dilemma."
"That's my business, isn't it?" Lisa's tone was a little stubborn, "Lynn, I know you have a good relationship with Kate, but I don't need you to take care of my life."
Lynn didn't say anything anymore, but reached out and took out a hundred dollar bill from his pocket and placed it on the bar, "You don't have to stay here tonight."
Lisa looked at the bill, her lips moved, and a trace of shaking flashed in her eyes, but she finally sighed softly and refused.
"Thank you," she whispered, then picked up her bag and turned to leave the bar.
Lynn stood there, watching her back gradually disappear into the crowd.
The next morning, the Hawaiian sun shone over the entire hotel terrace, the coconut trees swayed gently in the wind, and the sound of the waves was soft and rhythmic, as if it was some kind of secret call. Lynn stood on the terrace, holding a cup of hot coffee in his hand, his eyes falling on the sea in the distance. His face was as calm as ever, but he couldn't fully calm down what happened last night.
Lisa's plea and the words "Don't tell Kate" kept wandering in his mind. As an agent, he is used to discovering secrets and revealing the truth. But this time, he was facing a completely different situation. Not the criminal, not the enemy, but Kate's friend. A person who needs help but insists on letting Kate know the truth.
"You won't like to know." He murmured to himself at Feng, as if he was looking for a reason for his choice.
The sound of the doorbell interrupted his thoughts. He turned and opened the door and saw Kate standing at the door with his usual brisk smile on his face. She was wearing a light blue long dress with her hair tied casually behind her head, looking more casual than usual, but still so vivid.
"Good morning, Lynn." She raised her hand and shook a bag of fresh bread. "I just bought some breakfast at the bakery downstairs and brought your portion. I guess you're just making some again The coffee was just over, right?”
Lynn glanced at the coffee cup in his hand and nodded slightly, "Good morning. You got up pretty early."
"After all, it's a holiday, so you can't waste such a wonderful morning." Kate walked into the room, walked straight to the small table, and put down his breakfast. She looked up at Lin Neng, her tone with a hint of temptation, "Where did you go last night? When I came back, I found you were not here."
Lynn paused for a moment, but soon returned to his calm, "Go out and go."
Kate narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "What a short answer. You're always so mysterious."
"I'm used to it." Lin En's tone was plain, but his eyes didn't look directly at her. He knew that Kate was keen intuition, and if he said one more thing, she would doubt it.
Kate shrugged and stopped asking questions, but opened the paper bag and took out the hot bread, "Okay, I don't plan to question you. Let's eat something and then decide what we plan today."
Lynn sat down and glanced at the bread Kate handed over, but he found it difficult to focus on his breakfast. He is not good at lying, and Kate in front of him is obviously unaware of Lisa's situation. This feeling of concealment made him feel a little uncomfortable, but he also understood that some things must be silent.
"Did Lisa have an appointment today?" Lynn asked casually, trying to test it out.
Kate took a bite of bread and shook his head, "She said she didn't make any arrangements for the whole day today, maybe she just wanted to rest in the hotel. I wanted to ask her to go out with her, but she said she wanted to sleep in. Why are you asking this?"
"Nothing." Lynn's answer was neat, as if he was just mentioning it casually.
Kate looked at him with his head tilted for a few seconds, his mouth slightly raised, "Linn, do you know? Sometimes I'm really curious about what you're thinking in your mind. You always do this, and it doesn't seem to make sense to ask something. The question, but I know, you must be thinking about something complicated."
Lynn did not answer, but lowered his head and took a sip of coffee.
Kate stared at him for a while, then suddenly smiled, "Okay, I won't disturb your 'deliberate'. Today I have booked a short trip, and we can take a boat to the nearby island, what do you think Sample?"
Lynn looked up at her expectant expression and nodded, "Yes."
Kate's smile became even brighter, "Great! I promise I won't make you bored this time."
