Chapter 37 Things I Want to Do
Kevin was really surprised by the proposal of the Homelander.
Perhaps he had been acting too harmless recently, which caused the Homelander to misunderstand him.
So he was ready to give Kevin a part of the benefits that originally belonged to the Transparent Man, hoping to win people's hearts.
Thinking of this, Kevin didn't find it strange, because this was what the Homelander would do.
As long as the Homelander's own interests were not threatened, the Homelander would be a good captain for everyone and a good boss in the team.
But once someone threatened his position, the Homelander would instantly become a demon.
Staring at the Homelander's smile, Kevin did not hesitate, and responded with an equally bright smile:
"Thank you, Captain, I will work hard to do it well."
No one would complain about too much money. Taking over the job of the Transparent Man also means getting more wealth and having a higher influence in the Water Group.
Isn't this what Kevin has always dreamed of?
The Homelander seemed very satisfied with Kevin's answer. He smiled kindly at Kevin and waved his hand to signal Kevin to leave.
Then he turned his head and stared at the portrait of the Seven Team not far away, lost in thought.
Kevin took a quick look and confirmed that the direction was Madeline's office, so he didn't bother him anymore. He turned around and walked out of the meeting room and went straight to the Seven Team's lounge.
The company had already handed him the script of "Deep Sea", so he took advantage of the time now to study the script carefully and figure out the characters in it.
The reason on the surface was like this, but in fact, Deep Sea went to the lounge for another purpose.
Because he was going to meet someone.
A person who was also unpopular in the Seven Team.
Queen Maeve.
Queen Maeve was resting in the lounge at the moment.
Click.
When he arrived at the door of the lounge, Kevin hesitated for a moment before pushing the door open. As a result, he smelled a strong smell of cigarettes in the room as soon as he entered.
Following the smell of cigarettes, he looked at the sofa in the lounge. In the smoke, Queen Maeve, who had just finished patrolling, was sitting on the edge of the sofa with her legs crossed.
She was sitting on the sofa with a cigarette in her hand, puffing out smoke and looking out the window, wondering what she was thinking about.
Maeve turned her head to look at the door until she heard the sound of the door opening.
But when she saw that it was Shen Hai, Maeve turned her head back, and it seemed that she had no intention of greeting Kevin at all.
Kevin didn't mind, and seemed to come over casually and sit opposite Maeve. After a while, he looked at the wine bottle on the coffee table and said as if chatting:
"Drinking right after work?"
"Does it have anything to do with you?"
Maeve smiled at the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were very cold.
Smile is Maeve's disguise color. Many years of "acting" career have made her accustomed to disguise. No matter when, she will smile.
Only in the eyes may there be some changes.
Kevin ignored Maeve's cold eyes. He leaned back a little, lying comfortably, took out his mobile phone and opened the script. While reading it, he said casually:
"We are colleagues after all, it's okay to show some concern, right?"
Kevin's words seemed normal, but Maeve looked at Kevin with a very strange look:
"Deep Sea, is your head okay?"
As she said, she glanced in the direction of the conference room.
Although they were separated by walls and several rooms, he seemed to be able to see the scene in the conference room and see the countryman sitting in it.
Kevin knew what she was worried about, and he also understood that it was actually a bit risky for him to come to talk to Maeve now.
But except for Kevin being able to meet and chat with Maeve at work, he had no suitable reason to go to Maeve privately.
So even if the countryman was in the conference room, Kevin had to come and chat with Maeve.
How is the relationship with Maeve related to Kevin's preparation for "that thing" in a few days.
Although he knew that his countrymen might not necessarily look here or hear the voices here, Kevin still tried his best to control his breathing and heartbeat and act normal.
At least he looked normal, and then he slowly opened his mouth and said with a smile:
"Don't say that, I just thought about whether you can make a cameo in my movie recently, so I came to talk to you."
"Cameo? Are you serious?"
"Of course, otherwise would I come to you?"
Kevin answered easily.
Maeve looked at Kevin deeply, staring at him for a while, and then threw the cigarette butt in her hand into the ashtray and extinguished it, and also smiled and asked back:
"You have really changed a lot recently, Shenhai, because there are new people, so you want to show off in front of the new people?"
"If you think so, it's not impossible."
"Well, then go and play with the new little girl who is now hot with you, don't bother me."
Maeve said it word by word at the end.
After speaking, she leaned back and lit another lady's cigarette.
Kevin didn't move. He just looked at her quietly for a while, then stood up feeling bored.
"Okay, although I know you don't like me, well, you don't like others, but I still hope you can appear in my movie. If you have any ideas, you can call me at any time. You know my phone number, right?"
"..."
Maeve ignored him and just smoked quietly.
Kevin shrugged and walked to the door of the lounge to leave. Before leaving, he paused and said again:
"Also, although I think it's unlikely, if you encounter any unhandled actions at sea in the future, you can call me. The sea is my territory, right?"
After saying this, Kevin left the lounge and went straight to the elevator.
Entering the elevator, watching the elevator door close and slowly descend, Kevin's nervous mood relaxed a little.
It turned out that he was a little risky just now, and fortunately, the motherland didn't pay attention to this.
Kevin thought in his heart, recalling Queen Maeve's experience.
Queen Maeve, formerly known as Maggie Shaw, was the ex-girlfriend of the motherland. She had been a couple with the motherland, and later broke up with the motherland for some reasons.
But although she broke up with the motherland, the motherland did not intend to let her go.
Because Homelander still likes her, and still regards Maeve as his beloved, even though Homelander is obsessed with Madeline now.
Homelander is extremely paranoid about the people he likes.
He does not allow anyone to fall in love with Maeve emotionally, nor does he allow any man to have close contact with Maeve.
Kevin remembers deeply, or in the deep sea's memory, that when Queen Maeve attended an Oscars ceremony, a producer once pestered her.
Everyone can see what the producer is thinking, which is nothing more than wanting to sleep with Maeve.
Maybe the producer treats Maeve as an ordinary actress, or he really likes Maeve and wants to pursue her.
But anyway, the producer did something he shouldn't have done.
So two days later, the producer was found with his head and body separated, his head in the burning office, and his body in the toilet cubicle.
And this is the end of getting close to Maeve.
Kevin knows this, or everyone in the Seven except Starlight knows this.
Therefore, no one in the team dared to approach Maeve, and no one dared to be too close to her.
From the beginning to the end, Maeve's partner was only one person, that is Homelander.
Therefore, Maeve has always been alone.
This is why Maeve thought that he was crazy after Kevin went to chat with him.
To be honest, Kevin didn't want to get close to Maeve and offend Homelander.
But if Kevin wanted to accomplish what he had always wanted to do, to save the 123 people who were supposed to die at sea, Kevin had to build a good relationship with Maeve now.
As long as Maeve called Kevin on the day of the incident and gave Kevin a reason and qualification to participate in it, Kevin could try to change the tragedy that should not have happened, thereby gaining a lot of plot points in one fell swoop and impacting [Job Change].
This is the real purpose of Kevin's meeting with Maeve.
In fact, there are many things to say, and I even want to open a single chapter to chat with everyone.
But I thought it was too long-winded, and no one might read it, so I just put it here.
First of all, I want to say that I am very grateful for everyone's support. Your collection, viewing, and suggestions are all motivation for me to continue writing.
In fact, I never thought that this book would be read by so many people before. So far, so many collections and so many people support me, which really makes me a little flattered.
To be honest, this puts a lot of pressure on me, but at the same time, it also gives me a lot of motivation to continue writing this book.
I also know that my writing is not very good, and the plot so far is also very bland.
This is because I am sometimes too long-winded... This is an old problem of mine.
Because I am always worried that if I don't describe it in detail, some readers will not know what happened, or why the character made such a choice, so I can't help but write a little longer.
As a result, the plot that should have been arranged was moved to the next chapter...
I will try my best to correct this problem and strive to make the plot more compact. I hope everyone can continue to read it.
In addition, this book is not only about the black robe world, but will also travel to other worlds in the future, which means that this is a "American variety show".
I'd like to explain this to everyone so that everyone can be mentally prepared.
Um... I've said a lot without realizing it, I'm really sorry.
Anyway, in the new month, I will continue to work hard, and I hope everyone can support me, vote for me, and read me! Thank you!
