A Bumpy Road to Power

Just stopped a cab at the intersection.

Dirk Carter suddenly jolted.

He said to Gwendolyn Lewis, "You better not come with me. You should head back. No matter what punishment Kent Hamilton decides on for Braddock Yarbrough, it won't take effect immediately. I'm worried they'll retaliate against Elbert Rivers."

"What's your plan?"

Gwendolyn Lewis asked.

Dirk Carter thought for a moment.

He said, "Well, he's just a trainee officer. How about I appoint him as my secretary, since I need one anyway?"

Gwendolyn Lewis nodded.

She said, "Call me if anything comes up. I'll handle this right now."

After watching Dirk Carter get into the car.

Gwendolyn Lewis also turned back.

Dirk Carter's concern wasn't unfounded.

Kent Hamilton first took the opportunity to berate Braddock Yarbrough once.

Then he ordered him to suspend and reflect.

Since the personnel matters are handled over in Northvale District, even if something were to be done, it wouldn't be until tomorrow.

Not long after Dirk Carter left, Kent Hamilton also departed.

A furious Braddock Yarbrough vented all his anger on Elbert Rivers.

He ordered one police officer and two auxiliary officers to control Elbert Rivers and drag him to the restroom, but at the critical moment, Gwendolyn Lewis arrived.

"Stop! What are you doing?"

Braddock Yarbrough didn't expect Gwendolyn Lewis to return.

He was momentarily stunned.

He explained to Gwendolyn Lewis, "Secretary Lewis, it's a misunderstanding. We were just playing around."

"Playing around like this?"

Gwendolyn Lewis said sternly.

Braddock Yarbrough lowered his head and said, "I promise it won't happen again."

Of course.

His face was respectful.

In his mind, he had cursed Gwendolyn Lewis countless times.

"Comrade Elbert Rivers."

Gwendolyn Lewis called out.

A somewhat dejected Elbert Rivers stepped out.

"Mayor Carter asked me to see if you'd be willing to become his secretary?"

"Huh?"

Elbert Rivers asked in disbelief.

Gwendolyn Lewis repeated the question.

This time Elbert Rivers heard it clearly, and it wasn't a dream. He asked a bit nervously, "But I've never been a secretary before."

"Just answer yes or no. If you're willing, report to the City Government Office on Monday. I'll handle the personnel relations."

"Yes, of course, I'm willing."

Elbert Rivers said excitedly.

Gwendolyn Lewis nodded.

She said, "Alright, from tomorrow you belong to the City Government Office. Don't forget to report on Monday."

After saying that.

Gwendolyn Lewis turned and left.

Braddock Yarbrough, who was filled with malice toward Elbert Rivers just moments ago, now had a sour expression.

He's a member of the Alba Spire Street Party Committee and also the police station chief, but his administrative level is just deputy section level.

This was an achievement he only reached at 45.

And Elbert Rivers?

Merely a trainee officer who had just passed the civil service exam.

Hasn't even finished his probation period.

Directly promoted to the deputy mayor's secretary.

The administrative level of a secretary to the deputy mayor can be a full section level.

Wouldn't that make him Braddock Yarbrough's superior?

Thinking of this, despite his resentment, he still forced a smile, turned, and tidied up Elbert Rivers' recently messed-up clothes, saying, "Little Rivers, everyone was just joking with you. You aren't upset, are you?"

"Of course not."

Elbert Rivers said.

Braddock Yarbrough quickly said, "That's good, that's good. Since you're about to take up a position at the City Government, how about we grab a late-night snack together?"

"I'm sorry, Chief Yarbrough, I dare not eat with you. What if someday you fall from grace, and others say I've dined with you? That wouldn't look good."

Elbert Rivers said coldly.

Braddock Yarbrough felt anger surge.

But he didn't dare to show it.

Wanted to explain.

But Elbert Rivers had already walked away briskly.

Thinking about how he had offended the deputy mayor and City Government Secretary tonight and bullied a trainee officer who became the deputy mayor's secretary, Braddock Yarbrough broke out in a cold sweat.

He vaguely felt that his police uniform might really be at risk.

...

Veridia City's First People's Hospital.

Since it was already late at night.

Dirk Carter could only register for an emergency appointment.

After the nurse guided him into the ward, she said, "Please wait a moment. I'll call the emergency doctor for you now. Close your eyes and rest a bit."

"Thank you, nurse."

Dirk Carter said.

Although he had already washed.

Dirk Carter still felt a burning pain in his eyes.

Closing his eyes, he felt a bit more comfortable.

Waited for about three or four minutes.

He heard the sound of heels tapping on the floor at the door.

He could feel someone approaching him.

"How is it? Still uncomfortable?"

It was a woman's voice.

And it was a familiar woman's voice.

Dirk Carter's heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly opened his eyes.

The first thing he saw was a blur.

As the blur gradually cleared, a delicate face of a Veridia woman appeared in front of him.

The woman was smiling faintly, staring at Dirk Carter, and said again, "I asked if you're still uncomfortable?"

"Why is it you?"

Dirk Carter asked.

With those words, recently, Dirk Carter had asked countless times.

He immediately felt at ease.

It seemed to be another work of that mysterious person.

The female doctor in a lab coat before him was none other than Rosalind Sullivan.

The last time the two met.

It was at Dirk Carter's wedding.

She was also among the "Beauty Troupe."

Of course, like Elsie Eames, Dirk Carter didn't get a chance to chat much with her.

Seeing her again under such circumstances at Veridia City's hospital naturally brought an indescribable shock.

Rosalind Sullivan smiled slightly.

She said, "It seems you've met the others. But, I was the first to arrive in Veridia City. I was here before you even took office."

"Were you sent by that person too?"

Dirk Carter blurted out.

Rosalind Sullivan didn't answer, only attached an IV drip to Dirk Carter.

She took out a flashlight from her pocket.

After turning it on, she said, "Alright, let me examine your eyes first."

One hand parted Dirk Carter's eyelid.

Rosalind Sullivan leaned in.

Shining a flashlight in.

Because her body was inclined towards Dirk Carter.

Her unique fragrance invaded Dirk Carter's nose fiercely.

Among all the women Dirk Carter knew, Rosalind Sullivan was considered one of the most beautiful.

Especially her innate gentle temperament was unmatched.

He still remembered their first meeting was also in a hospital.

That time, in order to escape, Dirk Carter had stripped her clothes. Later, he specially bought her a set of lingerie as compensation.

Later, after learning about Rosalind Sullivan's background.

Dirk Carter helped cure her sexual disorder.

Rosalind Sullivan, in turn, organized a medical rescue team to aid Dirk Carter when he needed help.

In short, the little episodes between the two were indeed memorable.
