Chapter 389 Good Mood and Personal Favor
Selina knew that Luke was usually lazy when it came to cooking.
He would never make pan-fried pork dumplings, which took a lot of time, unless he was in a good mood.
Sweets like cake, on the other hand, were easy and convenient to bake in bulk, and were usually his first choice.
Luke smiled. “Sometimes, you’re just happy for no reason.”
Selina didn’t bother with it, and quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth.
As they were having hot soybean milk and pan-fried pork dumplings, in an apartment somewhere downtown, Rebecca slowly opened her eyes.
She was a little dazed when she saw an unfamiliar ceiling, before she recalled what happened last night before she passed out.
She lifted the blanket and took a look at herself.
She was only in her underwear, but she wasn’t entirely naked; most of her body was covered in bandages. Her broken bones had also been properly set.
The bullet wound on her back had been cleaned and treated in standard battlefield first aid style; it was simple but practical.
Except for the pain of her injuries, she didn’t sense anything else unusual.
Certain things that she had expected might happen didn’t seem to have happened at all.
Enduring the pain, she slowly sat up. The noise outside the window suggested that she was still in the city.
She grabbed the pistols on the nightstand and examined them, confirming that they were her special weapons. Even the clips were next to them.
She sighed in relief. Then, enduring the pain, she put on a tank top, a holster, and a long-sleeved shirt.
These had all been prepared for her next to the bed.
After everything was done, Rebecca got up and opened the window a little for a peek.
It was a regular street below with some foot traffic; nothing seemed out of place at all.
Frowning, Rebecca observed the scene for a few more minutes before she dropped the curtain, suspicion on her face. “What’s the meaning of this?”
She didn’t understand what that mysterious person from last night wanted.
He brought her to what appeared to be a safe house and treated her wounds, but left without leaving a note.
Did he really just want to see her kill Wolf Elsworth?
Frowning as she returned to the bed, she saw a bag of food and drinks from the convenience store next to it, as well as letters from a magazine cover which were arranged to form the word: BYE!
Was he truly gone? Rebecca fell into deep suspicion.
But the tough woman soon cleaned up everything, left the apartment, and disappeared into the crowd.
Luke, on the other hand, took Selina to work with a relaxed air.
Selina was already immune.
She had confirmed that Luke was in a better mood than usual.
Did he sneak out to see Miss Jenny again last night?
Of course, Luke had a good reason to be happy.
He only needed 20 Mental Strength to learn Rebecca’s abilities now.
Once he met the requirement, Bobby’s Mental Communication would be available to him as well… Maybe after he played a few more games of poker with the guy.
His experience in the system had reached 25,568 points. If he had guessed right, he would be level twelve when his experience reached 30,000 points, and he would get five stat points. Getting four thousand-plus experience points was a piece of cake for someone who had been earning more than two thousand experience points weekly.
Luke beamed as he made his plans.
When he sat down, Sonia glanced at him inquiringly.
Luke nodded with a smile, and she immediately walked over.
Next to his desk, she asked in a low voice, “Did you hear the big news last night?”
Both Luke and Selina shook their heads.
Sonia said in an even lower voice, “There was an intense fight at one of Wolf Elsworth’s mansions in the suburbs last night, with gunshots and explosions. Thirty security guards were killed. Wolf Elsworth is missing.” She observed Luke’s expression as she spoke.

Luke seemed surprised. “Kidnapped?” After a brief silence, Sonia said, “No one knows, but the Elsworth family has promised a million dollars to anyone who can give them Wolf Elsworth’s whereabouts, or a hundred thousand to anyone who has a lead.”
Luke clicked his tongue. “What a shame we won’t be able to earn that money. The boss doesn’t want us to touch their cases.”
Seeing his expression, Sonia was no longer suspicious. “It’s good that you know. I’m going back to work.”
Luke and Selina were only in the office for a short while, before they drove out to work on cases.
On the road, Luke’s phone rang.
He picked up the call via his Bluetooth. “Sheerah, what can I do for you?”
He looked for a spot to slowly pull over. “What? A performance? Are you kidding?” asked Luke in surprise.
A moment later, he replied hesitantly, “Let me think about it. I’ll give you an answer by noon. Bye.”
Selina looked at him. “The singer?”
Luke nodded. “Yes, her.”
“What is it?” Selina asked.
Luke put his phone away and said, “She asked me to work as a temporary bodyguard tomorrow.”
Selina said, “Seriously? Doesn’t she have her own bodyguards? Why does she want you?” Luke said, “Because the place she’s going to doesn’t allow bodyguards entry, and she can only bring two people with her. One of them will be her stylist, and as for the other, she hopes I can accompany her as a staff member.”
Selina frowned. “Where is she going? She can’t take bodyguards with her?”
Luke shrugged. “She didn’t mention. She only asked me to call her once I decided.”
Selina asked, “Don’t you have work?”
Luke said, “It’s a private job. We’ll board a helicopter at half-past five, and return to Los Angeles at midnight.”
Selina was lost for words. “Then it’s up to you.” This was a private job.
If Luke wanted to get closer to Sheerah, he could do her this favor, but it wasn’t a big deal if he didn’t.
Also, the trip would only take six hours, which didn’t affect Luke’s regular schedule.
Thinking for a moment, Luke called back to say that he would do it.
He was a little curious about how a singer usually prepared for a performance.
No matter how staid a person was, they would still feel curiosity, and Luke was no exception.
More importantly, the performance venue was a place of interest to Luke, so he would be killing two birds with one stone.
Sheerah was very happy and said that she would send a car to pick him up in the afternoon tomorrow.
At four in the afternoon the next day, Luke went home early with Selina and made dinner for her. Promising that he would record some of the performance for her, Luke got in Sheerah’s car.
The car was driven to a military airport, and Luke wasn’t allowed to enter until he showed them the temporary ID card which Sheerah had given to him last night.
