"Oh... oh."
Stuart Weston seemed half-convinced and nodded.
But neither of them left.
Unlike Stuart’s agitation, Calvin Ramos seemed calm, but his presence always palpable.
"You, come with me."
Out of helplessness, Austin Shepherd spoke directly to Becca Reyes.
After speaking, he turned around and left first.
Becca hesitated for a moment, looked back at Calvin Ramos, then followed Austin’s step.
Office Building.
With Austin Shepherd’s military rank, plus his occasional technical work, it seems adequate for him to have an office.
However, he didn’t enter.
This late, he needs to avoid doing what should be avoided.
"You can start first."
Stopping in front of a big tree, Austin Shepherd stared at Becca Reyes and spoke somewhat leisurely.
Becca looked up questioningly, not fully understanding his intention.
"Alright, let me ask then," Austin Shepherd stood straight, his usually bright face now a bit serious, "Our conversation this time won’t be disclosed to anyone, so rest assured."
After hesitating slightly, Becca looked at him carefully, nodded relaxedly, "Hmm, I trust you."
This person is worthy of trust.
She’s always thought so.
"How did they start fighting?"
"I’m not sure," Becca shook her head, "They just... started."
"Alright," Without doubting her, Austin Shepherd continued asking, "How’s the relationship between Calvin Ramos and Stuart Weston?"
"Very good."
"And between you and Stuart?"
"Do you like Calvin?"
"He seems to care about you a lot, so the two of you..." Austin stopped before he finished asking.
He respects Becca and also gives her the chance to skip the question.
However, Becca suddenly raised her head and said seriously, one word at a time, "We’re dating."
Austin Shepherd was momentarily stunned.
Such a straightforward confession, he didn’t expect at all.
"As you said, I can trust you." Becca tilted her head slightly, a hint of a smile in her eyes.
Austin Shepherd snapped back to reality and immediately smiled, "The Forces don’t forbid dating, it’s your business."
Becca agreed.
However, dating during the training selection period might likely draw intervention from the political instructor.
"Of course, you guys will need to keep it a secret for some time," Austin Shepherd added.
"Let’s leave it at this. Don’t let it affect the training, solve it privately."
"Huh?" Becca was a bit surprised and said quite appreciatively, "You’re really different from other officers."
"Of course," Shrugging, Austin Shepherd smiled, "I’m only responsible for the training, not your life."
He spoke quite casually, almost irresponsibly.
But as he said, he’s not responsible for their lives. He can’t take this responsibility, so he only focuses on the training. Regarding other matters, they are to decide themselves. He might even help them avoid bigger trouble by covering up for them.
Suddenly, Becca’s mood improved significantly.
Having such an instructor is indeed interesting.
Looking at the time, Austin said, "If there’s nothing else, you can go."
"Alright, goodbye."
Nodding slightly, Becca obeyed and turned around to leave.
"Wait." Austin suddenly called out to her.
