96 A chance meeting (1/2)

I'm stunned. Nanny urges me, I just open the door blankly and get into the car.

”We need to hurry up.” Nanny didn't find Yanny, and when I look in that direction again, Yanny has already hided.

When I start the car and drive out of the parking lot, I just remember that it was me myself asked Yanny to wait for me in the parking lot! I asked her to call me out later!

”Exposure! This exposure!” I think it over and over again.

”What's wrong? You don't look very well.”

I shake my head and vaguely say, ”Nothing,” but there are some murmurs in my heart.

Yanny saw Nanny's intimate contact with me! If this information diffusion from her mouth, I would be over! At least everyone in the company knows! And then in their eyes, Nanny and I become lovers. Well, maybe I'll be treated as greedy for Nanny's wealth. But I don't care about this.

What I care about is my relationship with Nanny. I can't let it come to light! I can't let everyone know! Because I don't know how to deal with it now, or I haven't thought out a clever way to solve the problem. If it's exposed now, it's terrible.

I drive in an absent-minded way. I didn't even hear Nanny calling me twice, until the third, when I come back to my mind: ”Hmm? What did you say?”

”You've just gone the wrong way. You should have turned.”

”Well... Ah?” I calm down and say, ”By the way, where are we going?” I was really in a mess. It takes me several minutes to ask this question.

Nanny frowns slightly: ”Chen Yang. Are you really OK?”

”It's all right!” I decide not to tell her, ”Where do we go?”

”Outside the city... Well, the private club area on the eastern outskirts? Do you know there?”

I'm somewhat surprised, and I couldn't help turning around and looking at her. ”Private club area in the eastern suburbs?”

Are there the casino?

”Minister Kim lives there this time. He asked me to take you with him on the phone just now. Chen Yang... Well, can I ask you something?”

My heart is a little confused, casually say: ”What?”

”Minister Kim. He seems to have a good impression of you. The Korean business is very important for our company. Many people in the company have made a lot of efforts for this. Now the key lies in their Korean company. Minister Kim speaks in their company with great weight. Now he's very fond of you, so...”

”I see.” Nodding, I laugh and say, ”You can rest assured that I am a member of the company now. I will deal with him well. I have a sense of propriety.”

But I still have some worries in my heart. Is it really OK to go to the casino? Otherwise, Juan and Yumi have asked me to stay away. Now let me go to the casino, I always feel weird.

And, Yanny, won't she say something to others? Hope she won't!

I turn around at an intersection in front and drive to the eastern suburbs. When I see a convenience store on the roadside, I stop. After thinking about it, I whisper, ”Nanny, would you mind help me to buy a pack of cigarettes?”

Nanny is slightly shrunk and smiles softly, not unhappy with my request. Instead, he opens the door and goes out with joy.

With a sigh, I take out my cell phone and dial Yanny's number.

The phone rings several times, but she doesn't answer the phone. My heart sinks. I dial again. She still doesn't answer the phone this time. But then she sends a text message:

”?”

There's nothing else, just a question mark.

I think for a moment and sent a text message to her: ”Can you don't tell?”

Then she texts back, ”OK! But when you come back, let's talk.”

I sent an ”OK”. Just at that time, Nanny has come back. I put the cell phone back to the pocket. Then I take the cigarette and look at it. It is a box of pretty expensive cigarettes.

There's some uneasiness in her eyes: ”That's the best thing in the shop. Is it OK?”

I'm dumbfounding. She really seems to have become a girl who has just fallen in love with her lover.

”This one is very expensive. I usually don't buy it that expensive. To have ordinary cigarettes is good enough for me.” I smile.

She looks nervous: ”Ah? Let me go to change for you.”

”No need.” I hold her down and start the car: ”This is fine. Thank you.”

I feel a little better, at least I know that Yanny would not tell the scene she had seen just now. I believe she will keep her words.

Now that the secret has been kept, I just focus on the purpose of this time.

”Minister Kim wants to see me. Is he trying to play another game of cards?”

”I don't know.” Nanny shakes her head. ”But... Well, it doesn't matter to tell you anyway. There's a member based hotel which is not opened to the outside. There's an underground casino inside it. Chen Yang, you can't talk about it outside, do you understand?”

”I know...”

She looks at me and says, ”Oh... You knew it, didn't you? You know Yumi, and she works there, so you knew there is a casino there long ago!”

I speak nothing. What she said is the truth, and I don't want to lie to her. So I had better keep silent. In this way, neither affirmation nor negation is tantamount to non-statement.

She hesitates for a moment: ”Chen Yang, I always have a question in my heart, how do you know Yumi? Are you familiar with her? You told me before that you only met her twice before. So do you know what Yumi does there?”
