"Major General, can we end this punishment now?" Lee asked a bit hesitantly, pulling him out of his thoughts. The soldiers were being punished and had been half-standing in the field for more than two hours now. They had also missed lunch time. Lee thought that maybe this was enough.
"Yes. That's enough. Let them go eat lunch," said Kevin. He glanced at the time on his watch and nodded in agreement. This kind of punishment was a necessary evil. If he didn't punish them for messing up, they might never learn. That was not something he wanted to see from his subordinates.
"Understood, Major General," Lee saluted and immediately ran to the training field to relieve them from the hell they had been in. He had a feeling that the Major General might go easy on them. It must have had something to do with the phone call he had just answered. But that was just his guess.
Looking at Lee's retreating back, the corners of Kevin's lips lifted into a smirk. Then, he turned around and walked to his office. He still had some paperwork to finish.
"Looks like I am no longer the Devil Drillmaster anymore. You are the real Devil here," a voice said from behind him as he walked into the building. He stopped and turned to look at the owner of the voice. Daisy was quickly walking towards him. It looked like she was in a hurry.
"I learned it all from you," Kevin immediately countered. He rubbed his nose a bit sheepishly. He was always worried about his soldiers. And this time, he had lost his cool and decided to punish them harshly for their mistake. He wanted them to remember the pain and not repeat their errors. It was for their own good.
"Hey, don't drag me into this. You make it sound like I really am a cruel drillmaster," Daisy protested. She was s
inform Kevin that his wife was waiting outside. So Leena didn't have to wait for too long. A few minutes later, Lee appeared at the gate and ran towards Leena's car.
"Leena, you are early. The Major General told me that you would not be here until at least 5 o'clock." Although it was already autumn and the weather was chilly, Lee still had a thin layer of sweat on his forehead because he had run all the way to the gate.
"I didn't think I'd be here this early either. Is Kevin still busy?" asked Leena. She couldn't tell Lee that she had intentionally arrived an hour earlier. She didn't want Lee to tell that to Kevin and worry him unnecessarily.
"Yes, he is still working. He is in the middle of something important right now and is not in his office at the moment. How about letting me give you a tour around the army base? I don't think you have visited before, have you?" asked Lee. He didn't know what else to do with Leena because Kevin hadn't given him any particular instruction. It was a good idea to accompany Leena in visiting the army base. After all, she seldom had a chance to visit the base, and she was a curious one. Lee assumed that she might enjoy it.
