Chapter 17 meeting an old sfriends (1/2)
[Inside a fancy restaurant]
Lexi elegantly sips her tea as she glanced at the very few people inside the premises. Since the establishment was meant for important and wealthy people, Lexi could recognize a few of the familiar faces from the entertainment and business industry.
However, despite the humiliation that was dawned on her by the scandal Morris scattered, Lexi kept her stoic expression -- not minding some of the odd glances that were cast upon her.
”Are you sure that Mr. Tanaka is here? chu?” Churu inquired as she also scrutinized the whole area as if she was a little soldier -- ready for an incoming attack.
'No, but it's worth the try.' Lexi responded telepathically. Though she already tried to make a proper appointment to Wren Tanaka, alas, she was told that the CEO Tanaka wasn't available at the moment and the arrangement might probably take a few months due to his busy schedule.
”How would you know if it was him, chu?” the little dumpling inquired again. Since after all the research Lexi had done, they didn't gather a single photo of the said respectable man. Hence, Churu was quite intrigued by how will Lexi knew who is her target.
'I'll hear it. Sissy, in this kind of place, a hotshot tycoon would be treated differently with many lackeys or girls accompanying him.' Lexi said in a matter-of-factly tone. The reason why she needs to properly observe her surrounding and listen very carefully.
'Ohh… were gonna eavesdrop, chu!' Churu was on fire hearing their certain mission and her almost non-evident ears doubled it sized.
Seeing her earnest to help, Lexi can't help but chuckle by Churu's adorable determination. Surely, Churu is the friend she needed who pushed her to do the things that should be done despite the task given by the system.
As Lexi elegantly sips her tea, she heard a very familiar voice of someone she clearly remembers.
”Lexi?”
Arching her brows, Lexi slowly puts down her cup of tea as she composed herself and turn her head to the side with class.
