Mei Man starts with black robe pickets

Chapter 14 Maeve's Ex-Girlfriend
Bang bang bang.

Maeve knocked hard but cautiously on the door in front of her.

Roger and Kimiko stood aside, and Kimiko followed closely beside Roger.

"Is this what you mean by 'safe place'?"

Roger looked at this apartment where anyone could come in, and asked Maeve.

Maeve explained to Roger: "I haven't seen Irina for many years, and the group will never find out about Irina no matter what."

"is it?"

Roger looks at the camera inside the apartment.

Maeve glanced at the camera and said: "The camera here has always been broken. Irina once asked the nearby security to respond, but it seems that it has not been repaired."

"Better fix it, or your friends are not safe."

Roger looked away from the camera and said.

Mev looked at Roger one more time and said, "It seems that you are not from the motherland."

"Do you believe it now?"

"No, I just confirmed it more."

Bang bang bang.

Maeve knocked on the door a few more times, but no one came to answer the door.

Roger waited for a while and asked: "Although I don't want to spoil the fun, I didn't hear anyone's voice inside. If you don't mind, can I..."

"No, there should be no one inside."

Maeve stopped Roger from looking inside with clairvoyant eyes, sighed and said:
"And I suddenly remembered, I shouldn't have come here, I shouldn't have troubled Irina, especially...with you."

"Oh, then should I avoid it?"

Judging from Maeve's expression, Roger probably understood what was going on, and asked half-jokingly.

Maeve shook her head and changed the subject: "... Irina is not here, we have to find other ways..."

"Maeve?"

Before Maeve finished speaking, at the entrance of the apartment, an African-American woman with slightly dark skin stood at the door of the apartment, looking at Maeve, the people from her country and Kimiko beside her in surprise.

Roger observed this African-American woman. Although this woman is black, she is not a pure-bred black. Her skin is more like the color of a white person after tanning. Generally speaking, it is still a passing eye.

Roger is certainly not racist, he just doesn't like black people very much.

Facing Maeve who suddenly appeared at her door, Irina didn't know what to do. She looked at Roger after the disguise, and Kimiko beside Roger, and said:
"First... come in and talk."

……

In Irina's house, Roger and Kimiko sat side by side on the sofa, and Maeve and Irina went to another room to talk.

They had their own things to talk about, and Roger understood, so he didn't join in, and just waited for the result of the conversation between the two.

But although Roger didn't want to eavesdrop, his damn super hearing made him have to listen to Irina and Maeve's loud quarrel.

"The first time we haven't seen each other for so many years, you brought me this trouble?"

"Irina, I...I don't want to, but apart from you, I can't find anyone else I can trust..."

"So what about the people from the motherland? Go find him!"

"It's a long story, Irina, I don't want to quarrel with you, can we be patient?"

"How did you make me patient? Who was the one who left me without even saying hello!? Who is the one who came to see me again without notice? Maeve, what am I in your eyes? Yours Secret lover?"

"Irina..."

The room was full of noise, Roger and Kimiko looked at each other, looked at her eyes looking at him, and turned on the TV with a guilty conscience:
"Ahem, let's watch TV. It seems that they will have to wait a while to finish their argument."

Kimiko couldn't understand what Roger said, but she understood the word 'television', nodded to Roger, and turned her attention to the TV.

After an unknown amount of time, Maeve and Irina came out of the room.

The remaining anger on Irina's face was still there, but she looked at Roger and Kimiko who were sitting in the living room watching TV, the anger on her face was reduced a lot, and she looked at Kimiko and asked:
"Is this the girl you were talking about?"

Maeve replied: "Yes, she is a foreign girl who was trafficked here, and there is no suitable place for her right now, so please take care of her for a while."

"Why not hand it over to the police?"

"If it was handed over to the police, she would die."

"what?"

Irina stared at Maeve with wide eyes.

Maeve pursed her lips and said, "Her identity...is related to the Walt Group, so she cannot be exposed to public view in a short time."

"So, what kind of trouble am I getting into?"

"..."

Maeve stared at Irina, and suddenly said: "I shouldn't have involved you... Sorry Irina, I shouldn't bother you, Roger, we should go."

Maeve suddenly changed her mind, and Roger also felt that it was really unsafe to put Himiko in such an ordinary person's home, so he didn't say anything.

But at this moment Irina said:
"Stop, Maeve."

"..."

"You've got me involved, whether you want it or not, now I know the existence of this girl, and you should have no one else to rely on now, right? Otherwise, you wouldn't even think about coming to me."

Irina sighed.

Her anger towards Maeve gradually subsided, she looked at Kimiko softly, and continued:

"She can live in my house, but the time can't be too long. During this period, you'd better find a place where she can live for a long time."

"Irina..."

"Come on Maeve, don't look at me with this expression, I'm not because of you, understand? I'm because of myself."

Irina said mercilessly.

Maeve nodded, indicating that she understood what Irina meant.

Knowing that the matter had been settled, Roger stroked Simiko's head, and said to her with gestures and gestures:
"You're going to live here for a few days now, be obedient and don't hurt her, understand?"

Although Simiko didn't quite understand what Roger meant, she could feel the kindness from Roger and the others, so she nodded to show that she would be obedient.

Roger gave Himiko a thumbs up, raised his head and said to Irina:
"Ms. Irina, this child doesn't speak English. Please teach her some daily expressions during this time. Also... thank you, you are a hero, Ms. Irina."

"I'm not a hero."

Irina quickly denied it, and glanced at Maeve and said, "Nor is she."

……

In this way, Kimiko was temporarily put on hold at Irina's house, and Maeve and Roger chose to walk back to the Water Group.

Originally, Roger wanted to fly back with Maeve, but Maeve refused. She wanted to be quiet at this time.

Maeve helped a lot, and of course Roger would satisfy her little request, so he specially picked a small path that not many people would take, and walked with Maeve to the Water Group.

"Irina...is my ex-girlfriend."

On the way, Maeve suddenly said to Roger.

Roger was not surprised at all and said: "Hey, I heard it, sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop, but your voice is a little..."

"It's okay, anyway, since I brought you here, I didn't even think about hiding it from you."

Maeve said with a smile, but the smile was not pretty.

Seeing this, Roger asked, "So, how did you break up?"

"because of you."

"?"

"To be precise, it's because of the people of the motherland, you know."

Hearing what Maeve said, Roger understood that this was another mess left to him by his predecessor.
