Chapter 1267: Chapter 1267

Jane McCain was furious.

She followed Allen Rivera downstairs, got into his car, and her tears were still flowing, even her fingers were trembling slightly.

She wasn’t just angry, she felt wronged! Heartbroken! Embarrassed! Furious!

Allen handed her a tissue, Jane took it and wiped her tears, only then did she wonder, how did Allen happen to be here at this moment?

Was he here investigating a case?

She sniffled and said, "If you have things to do, go ahead, you don’t need to bother with me..."

Allen replied, "I came to find you."

"Huh?" Jane looked up at him in shock, then realized her makeup was probably ruined from crying, she quickly turned her face away and covered it with the tissue.

"How did you know I was here?" she asked softly.

"I went to your office to find you, your assistant said you came here," Allen said, "I’m not familiar with this area, it took a few laps from the parking lot to find the right place."

Jane was startled, then realized in surprise, "You’re Mr. Riviera?!"

Allen slightly raised his eyebrows, looked at her, his eyes seemed to say: You didn’t know my last name is Riviera?

Jane awkwardly lowered her head...

Her fingers clasped the tissue tightly, intertwining.

"Do you have some time later?" Allen asked her, "Let me take you out for dinner."

"Yeah, I have time." Jane replied softly.

Allen didn’t say anything more and drove off.

The car was driving through traffic, both of them silent; the car was extremely quiet, only the occasional honk from outside could be heard.

Jane’s tears had already stopped.

She rummaged through her bag quietly, sneaking out a small mirror to check her face, seeing that her eyeliner had smudged, she quickly took out a wet wipe to clean it, then applied some makeup again.

Being in the fashion industry, she needed to apply makeup every day, and her bag was always filled with small samples of cosmetics.

After reapplying her eyeliner and a bit of powder, Jane looked at her makeup in the mirror and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She couldn’t help but think: It’s good that he drives smoothly, so it doesn’t affect touching up my makeup.

After finishing with her face, Jane sat up straight and her eyes inadvertently glanced at Allen’s face.

He was still the same, with an otherworldly, ascetic look.

Short dark hair, a pure white shirt, and every fold on his dark grey cashmere coat was so straight and neat, just like the man himself, wise and efficient.

Allen was very perceptive, his eyes still on the road ahead, he had already sensed that Jane was looking at him.

"What’s wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing..." Jane’s face reddened slightly, she quickly turned her gaze aside, pretending to admire the scenery outside the car window.

Although there were only cars outside, nothing else.

Probably unable to bear the excessive silence in the car, Jane tried to make conversation with him, "It’s been a while since we last connected, what have you been busy with lately?"

"Working on a case," Allen replied concisely.

Jane wanted to bite her tongue.

Look at the kind of question she asked!

What else could Allen be busy with? Of course, he was busy with cases! But if it involves work, it’s not convenient to ask more.

From this, it was clear that her choice of topic was not wise, the conversation ended before it even started!

Jane cursed herself in her heart.

After cursing herself, she felt defeated, thinking that she and Allen were indeed not a good match.

Unexpectedly, Allen followed up on the topic, "We went to a town near Clearwater to assist in an investigation, stayed in the mountains for a while, and recently just came back."

"Prosecutors need to go into the mountains?" Jane was a bit surprised, "Isn’t there someone in charge locally?"

"There’s a local person in charge, but cases that can’t be solved locally are handed up, and higher authorities integrate resources and send people to assist the local prosecutors," Allen explained, "There were several cases of villagers being killed by birds of prey, so we went into the mountains to understand the situation."

"I see..." Jane half understood, "Will the birds be dealt with if caught? Now, most medium to large birds of prey are protected animals under the country..."

Allen laughed lightly, "We didn’t go into the mountains to catch birds."
