Dahlia Hughes's office is in the county government building.

The two walked one in front of the other on their way out of The County Committee building, not saying a word.

They came to the open space between the two buildings.

Only then did Dahlia Hughes frown slightly and say, "Transferring me might just be the first step. Next, things won't be easy for Donal Lewis, and your future situation will also be tough. After all, everyone knows you played a significant role in the last two confrontations."

"It's okay, I'll take care of myself."

Dirk Carter replied.

Dahlia Hughes nodded and said, "I believe in you."

No more words were exchanged as Dahlia Hughes was just about to turn and leave.

Suddenly, something came to her mind, and she asked, "Are you free tonight?"

"You say it."

"How about going for a walk at Chanticleer Lake Park?"

"Sure."

Dirk Carter nodded.

Dahlia Hughes gave a slight smile and said, "Then 8:30 tonight, don't miss it."

Leaving those words behind, she walked away.

By evening.

Stillwater's County Committee received a call from the city, saying the Municipal Communist Party Committee meeting had ended, where they passed the decision to transfer Dahlia Hughes to Sunward County.

Sure enough, there's no smoke without fire.

What is meant to come true will always come true.

At 8:30 in the evening.

Dirk Carter rode over to Chanticleer Lake Park.

At the far end of the lake, faint lights could be seen in the distance, which was where the resting area was located.

On the other end, where Dirk Carter was currently standing, was Chanticleer Lake Park.

Since it's quite a distance from the county town, there were few visitors in the park, just a handful of people coming for a run.

"You've arrived?"

A sudden tap on his back startled him.

Turning around, it was none other than Dahlia Hughes.

Today, she wore that familiar long trench coat again.

Wrapped up tightly.

Dirk Carter asked, "Another new outfit?"

Dahlia Hughes smiled slightly and said, "I told you before, I bought several sets, planning to wear them for you one by one. Today is the second one."

Under the street light.

Dahlia Hughes unfastened the buttons.

Regardless of the public setting, she opened her trench coat.

The outfit underneath today was even more enticing.

A bright red sheer top, under the dim streetlight, clearly outlined two contours.

The lower half was even simpler.

Also a pair of bright red triangular panties.

The material was also sheer.

Like the previous one, it was of the open-crotch style.

The long legs pressed together still couldn't block the lush greenery from coming into view.

No wonder they say the allure of a hint is greater than being completely bare, and it's not unfounded.

The sight of Dahlia Hughes before him was like a walking flame.

Even though the autumn night was somewhat chilly, a fire ignited within Dirk Carter.

"Should we find a place?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dahlia Hughes smiled beautifully and said, "How about right here? I've never tried 'wild' before."

"Right here?"

Dirk Carter was taken aback.

Although there weren't many people in the park at this time, there were still occasional passersby.

Seeing Dirk Carter's surprised look, Dahlia Hughes provocatively asked, "What? Afraid?"

"Tch, what do I have to be afraid of? I'm a man; why would I be scared of you?"

Dirk Carter replied.

Dahlia Hughes grabbed Dirk Carter's hand and led him into the nearby greenery.

The greenery was formed by a row of Pittosporum balls.

About a meter high.

Just as they got settled, a distant elderly jogger slowly approached.

Normally, if they were planning something, they'd at least wait for this elderly person to pass by first.

Dahlia Hughes didn't wait.

She squatted down, helped Dirk Carter unzip his pants, rummaged a little, and took out the goods.

At this point, the elderly person was only five or six meters away from them.

Though Dahlia Hughes was concealed by the greenery while squatting, and the lighting was dim, it was still a public place.

Dirk Carter had planned to remind Dahlia Hughes to wait.

But it was as if she deliberately wanted to spice things up, immediately going for it.

The combined environmental and physical stimulation twisted Dirk Carter's expression while the jogging elderly person came nearby. To avoid awkwardness, Dirk Carter quickly started doing chest expansion exercises to make himself look less out of place.

The elderly person, jogging and glancing at the strangely standing young man in the greenery, continued running past.

Until the footsteps gradually faded away.

Only then did Dahlia Hughes wipe her mouth and stand up, teasingly asking, "How was it? Fun?"

"It was fun, but what am I going to do now that you've fired me up?"

Dirk Carter asked.

Dahlia Hughes turned and looked into the distance, saying, "Let's go there."

"Go there?"

Dirk Carter was perplexed.

Knowing full well Dahlia Hughes was pointing at nothing more than a park bench under the shade.

Arriving at the bench.

She pushed Dirk Carter down on it.

Under the cover of the trench coat, she mounted directly.

The two of them became one in such an "open and aboveboard" manner.

From afar.

Dirk Carter looked neatly dressed.

With the cover of a large trench coat, Dahlia Hughes's body showed no apparent irregularities.

They merely looked like a couple in love, with her sitting on his lap.

In reality, they were united as one.

Dahlia Hughes gently swayed her body, her movements gentle and non-violent, yet in this situation, the pleasure it brought was no less than breaking out in a sweat.

Besides, occasionally there were runners passing by.

The two would tactically lock heads and start kissing intensely.

In this way, any passersby wouldn't be able to tell anything.

The entire process lasted about half an hour.

Dahlia Hughes suddenly felt a warm surge.

Her body slumped down as well.

She nestled beside Dirk Carter's ear, whispering, "When I'm in Sunward County, take care of yourself, and keep an eye on Alfie Grant. Once I'm gone, his position might waver."

"Don't worry, I will."

Dirk Carter assured.

Dahlia Hughes bit his earlobe and murmured, "If you hit a snag, remember to call me. I'll help you as much as I can."

"Hmm, you take care too."

At this moment, warmth surged within Dirk Carter's heart.

He had to admit, among all the women around him, Dahlia Hughes was the oldest. Although she was an exceptional beauty, compared to others, she was somewhat less striking.

His connection with her began as a mere release of primal desire.

But by now, the seed of emotional attachment had sprouted within both their hearts.

Especially Dahlia Hughes, if not for the constraints of society, she truly wanted to be with Dirk Carter for the rest of her life.

Thankfully.

Both he and she were rational.

The day after Dahlia Hughes's departure.

Dirk Carter received a call from Zoey Moss.

On the phone, Zoey Moss informed Dirk Carter that lately, Alfie Grant had been frequently associating with Sherman Summers.

The thing he worried about most over the past few days had indeed happened.

The transfer of Dahlia Hughes made it evident.

Sherman Summers was starting to "cleanse" the inner circle.

Dahlia Hughes was the first, but would definitely not be the last.

Regarding Clifford Levin, Alfie Grant's stance was clear as day; he had fully pledged allegiance to Donal Lewis.

However, their connection was inherently fragile.

Alfie Grant aligned with Donal Lewis merely to survive the crisis brought by Kian Holden.

Once Kian Holden was tackled by Caleb Ford, his crisis naturally vanished as well.

With Dahlia Hughes being transferred, the position of the executive deputy county head became vacant.

Among the candidates eligible for this position, Alfie Grant had the highest probability.

Reaching the position of the head of the Organization Department, Alfie Grant was no fool; he could see whose game led to Dahlia Hughes's promotion.

It was only natural for him to curry favor further with Sherman Summers.

And Sherman Summers, in his effort to secure Alfie Grant, would naturally offer the executive deputy county head role on a silver platter.

Sure enough.

After several days of to-and-fro interaction between the two.

The Municipal Communist Party Committee issued an order appointing Alfie Grant as the executive deputy county head of Stillwater County.
