Chapter 339 - Angry Honey (2/2)
”Revon forgot to tell--” She paused at Wang Shi's words, ”--its is all over the news that one of your men sneak attacked Suyin. We disclosed nothing further, people can make their own stories. Don't put any hopes on election now.”
Zeldiz's fist clenched. ”I'll take your leave, Dr. Wang. Thank you,” she said with clenched teeth. Getting out, she kicked the flower vase kept outside. Then a sharp slap across Zara's face. ”I was never this humiliated before. Why can't you just die instead?”
Zara cradled her slapped cheek, crying, ”I'm millions of times better than Suyin. Young. Rich. Beautiful. Good family background. Just like him, we too belong to a strong political and business family. Why did you kneel and scolded me in front of him? This is not you.”
”Idiot. You do not know the power named Wang Shi. He's never alone but has the support of his three brothers from the Feng family, Xiu Mei, and underworld king Lu Xion. Offend one, and you offend everyone. Thank your stars that he is letting you go even after you dared to attack his beloved.” Zeldiz said with gritted teeth, her sharp nails digging in Zara's arm, ”I'd rather you be dead than get on the wrong side of these men. Once more you did something like this and I won't shy from getting rid of you.”
”No!”
”Oh, try me dear.”
Zara hung her head, ”Yes, mumma.”
******
”Bro, Sister Suyin is calling me--” Jin glanced at the screen, and then Wang Shi lying on the couch, rubbing his temples.
”Tell her, I'm in the emergency. Won't come home tonight.”
”Bro--”
”Just do as I say. Or do you need the order from President's son?”
*******
[Stuck in an emergency. Asked me to inform you not to wait. Won't make it to dinner.]
Suyin bit her lips as she read Jin's message. Why ask Jin to message? Why not pick her calls? She looked over her shoulder. Sitting at the dinner table, Honey had his eyes set on her.
She instantly held the phone over ear. ”Oh, emergency? Is it serious? Ah, intestine rupture. Damn, it's a long complicated surgery. Yeah, I can understand you won't be able to join us for dinner. It's alright, I'll accompany them tonight. Will send a bento for you later--”
RING RING
Suyin gathered up every bit of her nerve as she turned to face Honey. Her phone ringing. Honey calling.
He narrowed his eyes at her.
”I-I have to leave for the hospital.” She walked to the corner to fetch two food bowls and slide them across Bagheera and Cleopatra. ”Keeping a serving in microwave. There are three slices of chocolate cake in the fridge. I saved it for everyone. You guys love it, right?”
Only silence. Forget about Honey, even the two pets didn't spare her a glance. ”I-I might be late. Do eat everything.” She literally was talking to herself. Or maybe the walls. Just what was she hoping? She grabbed a shawl and keys, paying a last glance at the closed door, two pets sitting outside in wait, untouched food, and the laptop on the table with the movie Mowgli on standby.
