Chapter 1810
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
She couldnât 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.
âEveryone, this is my friend, Blair Johnson.â
Of the numerous men that worked under Wesley, there was one whom Blair didnât know. He seemed
quite frank with the man since he teased excitedly, âChief, I remember you saying sheâs Lieutenant
General
Jenkinsâ niece the last time she came here. Now youâre telling us sheâs your friend. So by next time, will
she be your girlfriend?â
The entire group burst into laughter except Blair and Wesley. One was shy, the other stoic.
âYes, exactly! Chief, weâre supposed to bring a family member here tonight. And youâve brought Blair
here! We all understand what that means. So I guess you should just be honest with us!â another
soldier echoed and added to Blairâs misery.
âChief, in any case, we all know what Blair means to you!â the soldiers said in union.
As the rumble of cheer and exclamation grew Louder with every passing sentence, Blairâs 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 werenât the talk of the soldiers.
âCut the crap! ALL of you! Go do whatever youâve been told to do. If you continue with this nonsense,
then be ready for extra training sessions,â he ordered coldly as he scanned the men around him.

âWhile everyone else is enjoying the show!â he added, seeing a grin that still hadnât faded on one of the
soldierâs faces.
The entire group immediately turned around in one uniform motion and dispersed. As they ran off, Blair
heard someone say, âCome on guys, run! Retreat quickly! Chiefâs got hundreds of ways to torture you
to death!â
Blair chuckled under her breath as she saw them flee. It felt quite liberating! Wesley shifted his eyes
towards her.
âCome to my office first.â
âYes, Colonel Wesley.â 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, âYour salute isnât right. Itâs too far below the
standards. Want me to train you?â The last sentence was less stern and felt more evil than it should
have!
âOh! No, no⦠Iâm heading to your office right now! I am never saluting you again!â As she dropped
those words, Blair took to her heels, running as fast as she could. She didnât even look back. Based on
how strict Wesley was with his subordinates, she knew for sure that he wouldnât 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 wasnât going to let him train her.
On her way to Wesleyâs 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, âI had a hunch you would be here tonight.
And boy was I right! Here you are!â
Embarrassed, Blair tried to explain, âI donât go to work these days. I feel bored staying at home all day
Long, so Iâve come to see tonightâs show.â
And although she didnât point out the person who had brought her,
Adalson clearly knew the answer without even asking.
He thought about something for a moment, and suddenly said, âYou know what? IâLL have someone
make a little change in the programs. You are going to sing a song tonight.â
Blair widened her eyes in shock.
