Chapter 361 - To make the right decision (1/2)
Han Ye showed Phantom around the place before saying, "I don't know what you need... Erm, do you need help in the bathroom?"
"Just a chair, thanks," said Phantom. He would need something to hold on to but he figured he could just use the wall for now.
"Alright then," murmured Han Ye. He walked about the house and took a few chairs. Once he had compared a few chairs with Phantom's wheelchair, he held a wooden red step stool as he said, "This one is the nearest in terms of height. There's no handle but the shower area at my bathroom is equipped with grab bars. It's a little high but..."
When Phantom raised a brow at him, Han Ye explained, "I twisted my ankle badly before. It's faster to shower by holding onto a bar than to sit down… Anyway, I'll take a shower first. I'd leave the stool inside once I'm done. If Head Manager Han drops by, take the food away from him, then tell him to f*ck off."
Phantom blinked before nodding, "Alright?"
As expected, not long after Han Ye went to shower, someone rang the doorbell. Since the intercom was placed higher than what he could see, Phantom had no choice but to ask without seeing the visitor's face.
"Who is this?"
There's a moment of silence before he heard Head Manager Han's voice asking, "Who is this?"
Phantom heard Head Manager Han's voice earlier at the conference and he recognized it. So, he immediately went and unlocked the door.
There was a step between him and the door but luckily, there was a shoe cabinet that he could use to support himself as leaned forward to open the door.
Head Manager Han stared at him for a few seconds before asking, "Mr. Lu, what are you doing here?"
"I'm staying here temporarily," said Phantom. When he saw the takeaways in Head Manager Han's hand, he asked, "Is that for Mr. Han? He mentioned that you'd be dropping by…"
Head Manager Han gave Phantom the takeaways before saying, "Since you're here, I won't be staying. Make sure that he eats. I'll bring more food tomorrow."
Phantom nodded. He watched as Head Manager Han walked off. He then pushed the door shut and went into the kitchen.
While he was arranging the boxes, Han Ye came out in his blue pajamas. He was drying his hair with his towel when he asked, "I see he came. What did he bring today?"
"Japanese. There's some sashimi, sushi, a bowl of unagi-don, a bowl of udon soup. What do you want? I'll heat it up for you."
"I don't feel like eating. You should eat," said Han Ye before he walked away.
Phantom sighed. He heated up the bowl of unagi-don and the noodles before he placed everything on a serving platter.
Once he had everything placed on his laps, he wheeled himself to the living room where Han Ye was drinking.
By the time Phantom placed the food down on the coffee table, Han Ye was already starting his third can of beer.
"You shouldn't drink on an empty stomach. Eat something," said Phantom.
"You eat."
Phantom sighed. He placed the food aside and grabbed a can of beer from the fridge next to the couch and drank it.
When Han Ye looked at him, Phantom said, "I don't feel like eating alone."
Han Ye frowned. He was fine with hurting himself but he did not like to watch other people suffer. It would be bad if Phantom had a stomachache later.
He sighed before he picked up the noodles and start eating.
Phantom smiled slightly. Whether it was Kai Xin or Han Ye, getting them to eat was easy.
The thought of Kai Xin caused him to drop his smile. As he picked up the unagi-don, he asked, "Mr. Han, don't you hate me as well?"
Han Ye shrugged, "I don't know everything… and call me Han Ye. It's weird for you to call me Mr. Han if we are going to be living together."
