Chapter 718 Rum: Curaçao is the true loyal subject of the Great!
Curaçao was speechless, stunned by Rum's comforting words.
Rum, on the other end of the phone, watched as he rambled on and on while Curaçao remained completely silent. Far from feeling resentful, on the contrary…
He felt even more gratified.
This is Curaçao!
Rum was filled with inward感慨 (gǎnkǎi, mixed feelings of emotion and reflection).
This is Curaçao; although she won't grovel before me or say flattering things to please me, but...
She's really capable of handling anything!
These are the true loyal ministers, far superior to those who constantly address others as "sir" but accomplish nothing in reality...
Just like today, Curaçao quietly accepted the tequila invitation but didn't get into Bourbon's car. Was it because she disliked Bourbon and preferred tequila?
Is it because she wants to betray him and join Gin's side?
No, neither!
It's because she's loyal!
Curaçao must know what her boss is thinking, and she is absolutely loyal to him.
She got into Tequila's car, seemingly because Tequila pressured Bourbon into backing down, leaving her with no choice but to get in. But in reality, it was quite the opposite...
Curaçao got into Tequila's car for the sake of the bigger picture!
She knew very well why she had been sent to Tokyo.
And Curaçao, she has also been working hard towards this goal..........................
She got into Tequila's car because she realized that while Tequila was outwardly threatening and intimidating Bourbon, she was actually venting her anger on Curaçao.
The subtext is——
If you, Curaçao, don't get on the train with us and don't come back with us, then you might as well give up in Tokyo!
You will conduct all your operations in Tokyo independently. Our Tokyo branch will not interfere in your affairs, nor will we send anyone to cooperate with you...
Rum knew that Curaçao had seen through this, which was why he obediently got into Tequila's car.
Sure enough, after Tequila took Curaçao back, it wasn't as simple as just obediently escorting her back to the villa...
He met up with Cherry and the others, accompanied by Curaçao!
From Curaçao's few words, one can guess that he spent the entire day surrounded by Cherry, Tequila, and Chianti.
It's common knowledge that I don't get along with Gin and his group.
So, what kind of good treatment will Curaçao receive among Cherry and his men?
The answer is obvious.........................
Therefore, Curaçao must have spent a day suffering under the wrath of the guys at Cherry's Tokyo branch.
Throughout the day, Curaçao not only had to be vigilant enough to ensure that Cherry and Gin didn't find out about her mission, but also had to feign compliance to maintain at least a superficial harmony and unity between the two sides, so that she wouldn't find herself unable to move an inch in the Tokyo branch...............................
It's easy to imagine how difficult that day was for Curaçao!
It was so difficult that she couldn't even answer one of her own phone calls.......................
Thinking about this, Rum shook his head inwardly.
I was just too worried and confused.
Curaçao's loyalty to me is as clear as day, and I should have acted decisively after failing to get through on one phone call.
However, she still made several phone calls and sent several messages.
This kind of behavior is truly disheartening to his subordinates......................
Fortunately, I was quick to realize this.
In the conversation just now, there was no excessive questioning about who should be held responsible for Curaçao's brief loss of contact; instead, the focus was on reassurance.
“Uh, Rum,”
After a moment of confusion, Curaçao was about to admit his mistake again.
"Actually, I got along quite well with Tequila and the others today."
"I'm sorry I didn't answer the phone today because..."
"Well, it's good that we get along well."
Unfortunately, Curaçao was still unable to finish speaking.
Rum repeated her words, speaking gently.
"You've had a long day too."
"Actually, there's no need to rush to call me back. You can call me back tomorrow after you've rested better. I trust you completely..."
"Just rest well today. I'll tell you the specific tasks when you meet with Bourbon tomorrow..."
Rum went on and on for a long time before hanging up the phone, seemingly genuinely worried about disturbing Curaçao's rest.
Curaçao looked at the phone in her hand, which was already ringing with a busy tone, and blinked her two naturally heterochromatic eyes.
Since Rum said to rest, then... rest for one night?
