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

“We need to hurry up.” Nanny didn’t see 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!

“Exposed! We’ve exposed!” 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 thing spreads from her mouth, then 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 a man of greedy for Nanny’s wealth. But I don’t care about this that much.

What I care about is my relationship with her. I don’t want it to be exposed! 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 would be terrible.

I’m driving in an absent-minded way, even don’t hear Nanny calls me twice, until the third, then 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’m really in a mess. After driving out so long time, I just remember to ask this question.

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

“It’s all right!” I decide not to tell her, “Where are we going?”

“Outside the city… Well, the private club area in the eastern outskirts, do you know there?”

I’m somewhat surprised, and I can’t help turning around and looking at her: “Private club area in the eastern suburbs?”

The casino?

“Minister Kim is staying there this time. He asks me to take you together 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 with you. The Korean business is very important to our company. Many people in the company have made a lot of efforts for this. Now the key is lying on their Korean company. Minister Kim speaks in their company with great weight. Now he’s very fond of you, so…”

“I see.” I nod, 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? Juan and Yumi have already 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 and drive to the eastern suburbs. When I see a convenience store on the roadside, I stop the car and say to Nanny in a low voice: “Nanny, would you mind help me to buy a pack of cigarettes?”

She first freezes, then smiles and agrees to my request without any unhappy. Instead, she opens the door and goes out with joy.

With a sigh, I take out my mobile phone and dial Yanny’s number.

The phone rings several times, but she doesn’t answer the phone. My heart is sinking. I dial again. She still doesn’t answer. 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 send an “OK”. Just at that time, Nanny has come back. I put the mobile phone back to the pocket. Then I take the cigarette and take a look. This one is pretty expensive.

There’re some uneasinesses in her eyes: “That’s the best 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 that expensive cigarette. Ordinary cigarette is enough for me.” I smile.

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

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

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

Since the secret has been kept now, I just focus on the purpose of this way.

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

“I don’t know.” Nanny is shaking 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’s working there, so you have already known there is a casino there long ago!”

I speak nothing. What she says 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 is doing there?”
