Although that person looks quite serious and serious, like the type who is extremely responsible and meticulous in his work, but he doesn't forget to eat and sleep like that, right?
People are like iron rice and steel, and they will always look for food when they are hungry... So, he didn't really eat in the morning and noon, right?
Charlotte, who had always judged things accurately, suddenly felt that she could not judge this Ares Randall.
In the past two days, she always thought that she had a very good understanding of this officer, but in the end she was too arbitrary.
How deeply can she understand him?
Standing at the door of the military commander's office, Charlotte moved everything in her hand to her left hand and knocked on the office door with her right hand.
She had a vague sense of luck, hoping that this person was not in the office now.
In that case, it would mean that he had already gone out to eat, and she would not be considered derelict in her work.
But for some reason, Charlotte had an inexplicable premonition—Major General Randall had not eaten breakfast or lunch.
"Please come in." A slightly cold voice came from inside the door.
Charlotte has become very familiar with this voice recently.
Sure enough, her sixth sense came true again.
Charlotte opened the door and walked in, standing not too far away as usual, and gave a standard military salute in the direction of the other party.
On the other side, Ares was busy with his work as usual.
After hearing footsteps, he looked up.
But it only lasted a moment, and he was soon back to work.
Charlotte sighed lightly, she really made a mistake at work.
In the final analysis, it was because she did not understand her commander's weekend arrangements clearly that this mistake occurred.
The work schedule of military units is different from that of ordinary work units. They do not have weekends in a strict sense.
Unless you apply for a long leave, there are many people working in various military units on weekends.
Charlotte ignored this and took it for granted.
Even if it's just a seemingly trivial meal delivery task, Charlotte doesn't like problems caused by her own fault.
Realizing her silence, Ares raised his eyes and looked at her again: "Is something wrong?"
Although he has a cold expression, he cannot suppress his outstanding appearance. His blood-red eyes alone are enough to attract everyone's attention.
The tear mole in the corner of the right eye is like a finishing touch, which is particularly confusing.
If he hadn't always been cold and aloof, few people would be able to resist this appearance.
Charlotte looked at this man who worked to the point of selflessness quietly, looking at him more seriously than usual.
Perhaps because her gaze was different from usual, Ares also rarely looked back at her.
The two people just looked at each other silently, without being aggressive or searching, they just looked at each other.
After a long time, Charlotte finally said: "Major General, have you had lunch today?"
At this moment, Ares understood her intention.
Lowering his head again, he looked at the documents on the table again: "No."
Charlotte asked again: "Then would you like breakfast?"
Ares didn't even raise his head and continued to reply: "No."
Charlotte looked at him from beginning to end. This man really... didn't take his body seriously and skipped two meals in a row.
Should I say that he is a complete workaholic, or that he cannot take care of himself?
In short, now, Charlotte feels that this person is not as "smart" as he usually behaves.
is not that right? He can miss two meals in a row. Is he forgetful or stupid?
In Charlotte's eyes, Ares Randall has always been impeccable.
He has outstanding intelligence and is the most dazzling new star in the federal military.
This person who will definitely take a prosperous road in the future seems to have no weaknesses or flaws.
He is perfect in everyone's eyes.
But now, Charlotte suddenly realized that he was actually not even 30 years old, and was younger than himself at the end of the world.
This age is not considered old even on Earth, let alone in this interstellar age where longevity is common.
But for such a young man, he has responsibilities that others cannot imagine on his shoulders.
As the future heir of a top family and an extremely young holder of the rank of major general, Charlotte can imagine how many things he needs to handle every day.
The pressure on him comes from both the military and his family.
But this person still has such a serious and meticulous character, and will not slack off on these things at all, so he will devote himself to work even on weekends.
Ares Randall, maybe...he is also a simple person.
In other words, surprisingly simple?
It's just that his mood is too cold on weekdays, his abilities are too strong, and his status and background are aloof, so it will give people the illusion that this person is particularly "mature" and "difficult to get along with", and you cannot be reckless in front of him.
But now, in her opinion, he is just a young man with a heavy sense of responsibility.
In fact, his life is not easy, it can even be said that it is not easy.
Ordinary people can't bear that kind of pressure.
Charlotte seemed to suddenly realize another side of Ares, and her original defensiveness against him also weakened slightly.
She was thinking about these things in her mind, but she didn't make excuses for her mistakes, but worked hard to find ways to solve the problem.
"Major General, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you had the habit of working overtime on weekends, which delayed food delivery." Charlotte expressed her apology very sincerely, "If possible, I hope you can give me a chance. Now Prepare your meal again.”
However, in the face of Charlotte's suggestion, Ares said: "No need to be busy, the cafeteria has stopped serving meals, you can go back to the dormitory to rest."
He thought she didn't know the meal times in the headquarters canteen, so he made it clear so she wouldn't make another trip in vain.
It seems that for him, missing one or two meals is not an important thing.
Charlotte lowered her eyes slightly and looked at the other person again, making it difficult to tell what she was thinking.
But one thing is for sure, she doesn't intend to leave like this.
"Major General, when I went out shopping, I bought some simple ingredients. If you don't mind, I can borrow the kitchen utensils in the tea room and make you some food on the spot." Charlotte said slowly.
Ares, who was busy at first, stopped again when he heard Charlotte's words.
He looked up at her and saw Charlotte looking in his direction calmly.
Seeing that he was silent and didn't express his position, Charlotte raised his hand again and signaled what he was holding.
