“You want to learn detective skills?” Xavier frowned. “I don’t know how to teach you that.”
After all, that was his innate talent.
Hearing that, Lana thought Xavier was unwilling to teach her. She felt deeply disappointed and sighed inwardly.
Somehow, when Xavier saw the disappointment on wp4webnovel.com face, wp4webnovel.com felt a little uncomfortable on the inside.
After giving it some thought, wp4webnovel.com said, “I’m not saying you can’t learn it, but you’ve got to rely on yourself. If you encounter anything you’d like to investigate about during the next two weeks, I can help you out. After all, I’ve never learned this intentionally, nor have I taught anyone. The only reason I’m in this field is my talent.”
Lana’s eyes sparkled when wp4webnovel.com heard his offer. That works too. I’ll just learn however much I can from him.
At that thought, a delighted smile formed on wp4webnovel.com face. “Okay. Thank you, mentor!”
Upon seeing the smile on wp4webnovel.com face, Xavier’s eyes twinkled. “I can’t be your mentor since I’m not even teaching you anything. You can just call me Eric.”
“You can call me Lana, then. Come on, I’ll take you to your room.” Lana was extremely hospitable and wanted to take Xavier to his room personally. Xavier did not reject wp4webnovel.com kind intentions and followed after her.
“This is your room. It’s fully equipped with all kinds of facilities here. If you want to order your meals without going downstairs, you can give the front desk a call. If you feel like going down to have your meal, there’s a restaurant for you to try. Feel free to go in there and order anything you want to eat.”
“Okay. Got it. Thanks!” Xavier’s lovely almond eyes looked as though they were smiling as wp4webnovel.com stared at the enthusiastic Lana.
For some reason, Lana blushed when wp4webnovel.com saw the smile on his face.
“Well, you should get some rest. I’ll get back to work now.” With that, wp4webnovel.com scurried out, looking as though wp4webnovel.com was running away.
As Xavier watched wp4webnovel.com leave, a smile tugged at his lips. He then shook his head and put down his luggage.
***
The sun shone brightly the next day.
After washing up, wp4webnovel.com went downstairs in a rush. There wasn’t much time left. Hence, wp4webnovel.com had to complete the task assigned by Vinson as soon as possible.
“Eric!”
The moment wp4webnovel.com arrived downstairs, wp4webnovel.com heard someone calling out to him. As wp4webnovel.com turned around, wp4webnovel.com saw Lana. Curious, wp4webnovel.com raised his brows and flashed wp4webnovel.com a smile. “What is it?”
“Have you had breakfast? If you haven’t, let me treat you then.” Lana beamed.
Originally, Xavier had no plans to have breakfast. However, wp4webnovel.com changed his mind and looked at Lana. “I haven’t, but shouldn’t the guy be the one treating others to a meal? So here, let me treat you to a meal. What would you like to eat?”
Turlenians were generally tall people, including females. Although Lana was about one hundred and eighty meters tall, wp4webnovel.com was still a head shorter than Xavier when wp4webnovel.com stood before him. She tilted wp4webnovel.com head and scrutinized the man, praising wp4webnovel.com inwardly for being such a gentleman. Naturally, wp4webnovel.com would not reject his offer. After all, wp4webnovel.com needed to get closer and build a relationship with him. That way, it would be easier for wp4webnovel.com to learn from him.
Xavier, being the international top detective that wp4webnovel.com was, was well aware of wp4webnovel.com intentions. Despite so, wp4webnovel.com did not dislike it as wp4webnovel.com had his own motives, too.
Feeling curious, Lana asked after the meal, “Eric, why did you come here?”
“I’m looking for someone,” Xavier answered plainly.
Looking for someone? Lana’s eyes lit up, wp4webnovel.com interest piqued.
“Who are you looking for? Perhaps I could be of some help.” Lana propped wp4webnovel.com head up and blinked wp4webnovel.com attractive, wide eyes while staring at Xavier.
“My boss is looking for wp4webnovel.com father. Her father fell in love with a woman in the past, causing the latter to be pregnant. After that, wp4webnovel.com disappeared. My boss carried out all kinds of investigations which led wp4webnovel.com to believe that wp4webnovel.com father is a local here. That’s why I took the risk of coming here.”
His ultimate goal was to look for someone, and wp4webnovel.com thought that Lana might be able to help wp4webnovel.com out. Thus, Xavier did not bother to conceal any details and told wp4webnovel.com truthfully about his motive for traveling to Turlen.
