Chapter 120 I missed you (2/2)
Abigail Fan cleared her throat after hearing Lexi's sarcastic remarks. She knew for sure that Lexi didn't liked her statement, so, she kept her thoughts to herself.
Just then, Lexi's phone rang that made Lexi flinch. Searching for her phone on her handbag, Lexi's brows raised seeing Ethan's caller ID; M.I.A on the screen.
Still, Lexi answered the incoming call after several rings, ”Yes?”
”Hey… on your way back to the hotel?” On the line, Ethan softly inquired.
Lexi's shoulders relaxed and she was relieved after hearing that he was fine. Too bad, she could not ask if Churu was with him as he could not see the flying adorable dumpling that completes her day.
”Hmmm.” Humming a tune, Lexi responded as she leaned her head on the front passenger headrest.
A momentary silence dawned on the line as neither of them talked. Yet, Ethan was already satisfied with the fact that she was there; not hanging up like usual.
On the other hand, Lexi didn't bothered to hung up as she patiently wait for him to talk about the reason for his call or whatever he'd say.
”Lexi…” Breaking the peaceful quietness, Ethan gently uttered as a subtle smile formed on the side of his lips.
'I missed you,' He added inwardly.
”Hmm?” With a laid back tune, Lexi was somewhat baffled why her heart and mind felt so peaceful just knowing that he was there?
”Can I see you?” Mustering his courage, Ethan Lu inquired.
”You're still here?” Arching her brows, Lexi didn't answered but instead, questioned back.
”Ah, yeah. How can I leave without treating you to dinner? So… will you grant my request?” Ethan paused as he nervously wait for her reply. Though he didn't expect that she'd agree, Ethan still tried as he could not go back to the city without spending time with her.
”But, if you're tired, I understand.” Regardless of his desires to see her, Ethan could put that aside as he didn't want to pressure her. After all, Lexi was probably tired from the whole day of filming.
”Uh, no…”
”Huh?”
”I mean, I am actually hungry -- make sure its a good noodle house. Don't pick me up, send me the address, I'll head there now.” With that said remarks, Lexi immediately cut off the line as she bit her lower lip.
Meanwhile, Abigail Fan glanced at Lexi from time to time and could not help but wonder who was she talking on the phone? Earlier, she offered Lexi some food but she refused as she told her that she's full… but now, she's hungry? Also, who is she gonna meet?
Despite the questions that hovered on her mind, Abigail Fan didn't probe knowing Lexi's personality.
”Drop me off in this address.” Lexi informed her manager of the location that Ethan sent and pursed her lips. She then fixed her appearance on the mirror which left another batch of questions on Abigail Fan's head.
