Chapter 42 Releasing Pressure
Tessa’s apartment is in the Siam District, not very spacious but the interior decoration is exquisitely done...
Mountain Eagle stood on the balcony of the apartment, watching Suka and Jelate who had given them a ride back, drive away from the parking lot below the building...
He turned his head to take the bottled water that Tessa, who had somehow changed into pajamas, handed him and said with a smile, "Isn’t it a bit wrong to use me as a shield to deceive your own mother?
It seems like your mother is particularly against you continuing the investigation. If I were you, I’d seriously consider having a talk with her."
Tessa took a sip of water and naturally wrapped her arm around Mountain Eagle’s, looking at the night view of Bangkok, her expression somewhat helpless, "You don’t understand my family...
Both my father and mother come from Police families; they understand better than anyone the problems one must face to be a successful cop in Thailand.
They support me on the surface but deep down, they really don’t want me to be a cop, so they’ll try to get me away from the front-line police work whenever they have the chance."
Tessa looked at Mountain Eagle, who wore a puzzled expression, and said, "I know they are concerned about me, but they don’t understand my feelings...
I grew up in a family of police officers, and as a child, my play was all about cops catching criminals.
Their conversations during gatherings were all about who caught which criminal and who received what honors...
Since my childhood, I’ve been fantasizing about becoming a good cop, protecting those in need."
