Desire Me If You Can-Chapter 16
Grayson was smiling, but the staff members who saw his face were sweating coldly behind their backs.
“No, we really don’t know either... ... .”
“Please give us some clues. How can we figure out who did what in that situation?”
“Yeah, once the work is done, that’s the end of it. We don’t necessarily argue about who did what right or wrong. Even if we find the person who did wrong, we’re just trying to come up with measures to prevent it from happening again. We’re not trying to blame anyone.”
Everyone was talking about the right thing, but Grayson wasn’t interested at all in those words. All he was interested in was who the extreme omega was that had knocked him out by pouring pheromones on him.
“Is this all there are to the team?”
Grayson asked, pointing with his finger, and Wilkins ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ said with a dissatisfied expression, “Yeah.”
“Oh, Dane’s missing.”
Everyone looked at him at the words someone said. Grayson muttered beyond the team members who were cursing each other with their eyes.
“Dane?”
Another team member responded with a chuckle as he briefly wiggled his eyebrows as he said his name.
“Yeah, the kid who broke your head with a fire extinguisher.”
Laughter erupted here and there. Grayson also laughed, but his eyes were still cold.
“I just tried, it didn’t work.”
“Oh, it’s such a shame. I could have done it.”
Grayson smiled back at the man who was sulking and whining.
“I think so too.”
He didn’t have to ask what the hidden meaning was. In the frozen atmosphere once again, Grayson emptied his remaining beer and looked around the group.
“Excuse me.”
They stared at him blankly for a moment as he turned around and walked toward the bathroom.
“Why is that guy looking for Dane?”
The others asked Ezra, who was the first to speak, as if they had been waiting for him.
“Ezra, what happened back then? I did adjust to you, though.”
“Wasn’t that the first time you clashed with Dane today? Wasn’t he out of his mind back then? He probably didn’t have time to talk.”
“What happened that made that punk grind his teeth and come all the way here! Tell me quickly, so we can respond?”
“Wait, wait.”
Ezra threw his hands forward in confusion at the barrage of questions. He looked embarrassed as everyone stared at him.
“I don’t know either. I just arrived at the scene with you guys.”
“I wasn’t there. Explain in detail.”
Wilkins was commanding from outside at the time. If he had known this would happen, he would have gone in himself. After the incident, he would listen to the report, but generally, the stories about who saved who were completely useless. I couldn't figure out what was going on with my team.
"Uh... ... That, well... ... I followed Dane, and there were two other victims. Why, those crazy twins... ... . They were already out of their minds, and that guy was fine. But I don't know what happened, but those two kept going crazy and I had a hard time... ... ."
"But then?"
Unable to contain his impatience, Wilkins urged him on, and Ezra pointed in the direction where Grayson had disappeared with a distorted face.
"That kid suddenly fainted."
"What? Why?"
"Suddenly?"
Everyone reacted in the same way to the sudden voice. Ezra shook his head in embarrassment.
"I don't know, why did that happen. I didn't see it, but I think Dane did it."
"Dane? How?"
When someone asked, another voice answered as if it had remembered something.
“Oh, by the way, didn’t Dane say he was in the military?”
“Yes, he said he was deployed to the Middle East.”
Everyone had the same thought. He must have used a special technique he learned in the military.
“Why is it that on YouTube, they knock him out by hitting his neck like this?”
As one of them made a gesture of hitting him with his palm, the others shared their knowledge.
“They say that if you hold on to anything here, you’ll be knocked out.”
“There must be more to it than that. You’ll receive special training.”
Everyone nodded in agreement.
“Anyway, when that guy got knocked out, the other two’s crazy behavior also died down a bit... ... They were rescued separately, and Dane and I threw him out the window.”

“... ... Did something happen to his head because of the way he got knocked out?”
“No, judging by his personality, he might have just gotten angry at being hit.”
“Yeah, then it makes sense that Miller is trying to find Dane.”
“So he was looking for the person who hit him. So that means that reward is actually revenge?”
When someone spoke, Ezra stepped forward and said something.
“That’s why I tried to hide it somehow. If it happened during the day, and he found out that it was the same guy who hit him and knocked him out, he would really try to kill him.”
While everyone was convinced, one person raised an objection.
“Even Miller would have a hard time getting away with murder.”
“If it’s Miller, there are many ways to do it without using physical force.”
The objections soon died down. In the end, they agreed on one thing. They would absolutely, absolutely, no matter what, keep the fact that Grayson was looking for Dane a secret.
With loyalty to their comrades who risked their lives.

Those idiots.
Grayson stiffened his expression as he crossed the hall and headed to the secluded bathroom. It was obvious that they were hiding something. Should I grab them one by one and break their fingers?
There were many ways he could think of, but that didn’t guarantee that they would tell the truth. There were countless studies that showed that torture was not effective in getting confessions. Unless it was just for fun or pleasure, there was no reason to bother with it. Above all, the truth was important to Grayson. If it didn’t help him get the truth, he didn’t want to waste time on such useless things.
Is it just a matter of waiting?
He hadn’t expected this kind of situation. Isn’t that why he became a firefighter? Anyway, if he kept watching closely, he would eventually find out.
Thinking that way, he wasn’t tired at all, even though it was already quite late. He could finally meet his destiny. Just the thought of it made his irritation disappear and instead filled his body with energy.
Every time he failed, he would get excited and expectant again. This was the most enjoyable time in Grayson’s life, imagining someone coming to him. Maybe he wouldn’t be able to sleep properly until he found his destiny. But he wouldn’t be tired at all. Grayson was about to have the most important moment in his life.
Right now.
When he opened the door while whistling, something came into view. A woman leaning her arms against the wall, leaning her upper body forward, moaning, and a man moving his waist behind her... ... .
Chest.
Grayson stood there without even blinking, staring intently at the man’s large, elastic breasts. Every time the man moved, they tugged and tugged, and then relaxed. Grayson was momentarily lost in thought, watching the muscles rise and fall.
The man’s body looked like a well-carved statue. A heavy penis appeared and disappeared beneath his six-pack abs, then appeared and disappeared again. The two were connected as one, and the man was walking around inside, holding the woman’s chest with one hand and her waist with the other. freewebnøvel.com
Grayson vaguely realized that he had mistaken the store’s supply room for a bathroom. It was only for a few seconds, but when he belatedly remembered that he had been staring blankly at other people’s sex, or more precisely, the body of a man who was engrossed in sex and thrusting into a woman.
Suddenly, the man turned his head. A neat face, somewhat aroused by sex, came into Grayson’s sight. The moment the red-blond hair and blue eyes were etched into his retina, his pretty eyebrows twisted in annoyance.
Oh.
That was the extent of his memory.
