Burning Passion: Love Never Die

She couldn’t help but let out a sigh. He was never good with sweet or romantic words. He only showed his resolve with actions.

On the night of the evening show, Blair and Wesley arrived at the military camp together. The other soldiers clamored at the sight of the two together.

Wesley scanned the faces of the soldiers around him and then proceeded to introduce Blair with so much composure.

“Everyone, this is my friend, Blair Johnson.”

Of the numerous men that worked under Wesley, there was one whom Blair didn’t know. He seemed quite frank with the man since he teased excitedly, “Chief, I remember you saying she’s Lieutenant General

Jenkins’ niece the last time she came here. Now you’re telling us she’s your friend. So by next time, will she be your girlfriend?”

The entire group burst into laughter except Blair and Wesley. One was shy, the other stoic.

“Yes, exactly! Chief, we’re supposed to bring a family member here tonight. And you’ve brought Blair here! We all understand what that means. So I guess you should just be honest with us!” another soldier echoed and added to Blair’s misery.

“Chief, in any case, we all know what Blair means to you!” the soldiers said in union.

As the rumble of cheer and exclamation grew Louder with every passing sentence, Blair’s face got hotter and redder in shyness. She was trying her best to maintain a polite smile on her lips but it was getting increasingly difficult. On the other hand, Wesley had kept a calm face throughout the torture, betraying no emotions, as if he weren’t the talk of the soldiers.

“Cut the crap! ALL of you! Go do whatever you’ve been told to do. If you continue with this nonsense, then be ready for extra training sessions,” he ordered coldly as he scanned the men around him.

“While everyone else is enjoying the show!” he added, seeing a grin that still hadn’t faded on one of the soldier’s faces.

The entire group immediately turned around in one uniform motion and dispersed. As they ran off, Blair heard someone say, “Come on guys, run! Retreat quickly! Chief’s got hundreds of ways to torture you to death!”

Blair chuckled under her breath as she saw them flee. It felt quite liberating! Wesley shifted his eyes towards her.

“Come to my office first.”

“Yes, Colonel Wesley.” Blair saluted him playfully since there was nobody else around them now and they could be as cute as they wanted.

Wesley grinned, and then told her in a stern voice, “Your salute isn’t right. It’s too far below the standards. Want me to train you?” The last sentence was less stern and felt more evil than it should have!

“Oh! No, no… I’m heading to your office right now! I am never saluting you again!” As she dropped those words, Blair took to her heels, running as fast as she could. She didn’t even look back. Based on how strict Wesley was with his subordinates, she knew for sure that he wouldn’t let her pass the bar so easily. For all intents and purposes, it would easily take her about a couple of weeks just to learn how to salute. So, of course she wasn’t going to let him train her.

On her way to Wesley’s office, Blair bumped into Adalson and unable to protest, was taken to his office instead.

Adalson slumped down in his chair comfortably and told her, “I had a hunch you would be here tonight. And boy was I right! Here you are!”

Embarrassed, Blair tried to explain, “I don’t go to work these days. I feel bored staying at home all day Long, so I’ve come to see tonight’s show.”

And although she didn’t point out the person who had brought her,

Adalson clearly knew the answer without even asking. From NôvelDrama.Org.

He thought about something for a moment, and suddenly said, “You know what? I’LL have someone make a little change in the programs. You are going to sing a song tonight.”

Blair widened her eyes in shock.
