Orty said with an innocent face, "What's the problem with me?"
"You're so pretty, it's normal to get hit on. Cops are normal people too."
"Thank you for comforting me, you really have a way with words."
"I had a good teacher."
"Then he must have a lot of female friends."
Luke laughed, "He's getting married."
Orty squatted down, opened the safe, and took out a check, "Deputy Chief Luke, this is your advisory fee for one year, three hundred and twenty thousand US dollars."
"Thank you." It was the first time Luke had received such a large check, which he placed inside a document and put into his briefcase, "Do you have time tonight? I'll treat you to dinner."
"Are you asking me out?"
"No, just a simple expression of gratitude."
"If that's the case, I'd rather keep this gratitude, and skip the dinner."
Luke nodded, but showed no intention of leaving, "How is the thief, Orleans Sith, who burgled your house that night?"
"Why suddenly bring him up?" Orty countered.
