Chapter 523 - The Bait (1/2)

When Cali heard Rui's reason for disclosing everything to Candice, she was left speechless and as she had nothing to retort she had to be quiet again because Rui was right. She was the first one to disclose it to Edward.

She sighed and wondered to herself why she did that.

”Since how long do you know her?” Cali asked out of curiosity.

”Not too long. More or less a year or something. She was actually a pediatrician at Yang Globals hospital. So we were colleagues also.” Rui explained.

”Why does she call you Dr. Meddler?”

Rui chuckled at that question as he recalled those series of awkward and funny times with Candice. But then it was a long story. He would not dare tell Cali that at some point he got scared of Candice Yao because the woman truly had an exceptional and scary air to her.

”Why are you laughing? Is there even something funny in what I asked, huh?” Cali chided. She hated it thinking that Rui was thinking about his happy moments with the woman, that was why he was given such a nickname by her!

”Nevermind! I'm no longer interested in finding out how you were a meddler to her.”

”Okay.” Rui plainly answered with a silent sigh of relief.

Cali could not help it because she was still itching to ask for more and find out the kind of relationship they shared.

”Is she still single?” She asked in a little low voice next, stuttering a bit because of hesitation.

”Yeah..” Rui simply answered, trying hard to hide that amused grin on his face. He could only interpret one thing when Cali asked more details about Candice, and that was definitely something good for him.

And he was anticipating to hear more of Cali's curiosity.

”So you two are close?” Cali asked.

”Yeah you could say so. We both used to bicker a lot before and banter with each other often as well. There came a point that I thought I'm interested in her. To be honest, Candice is a very mysterious woman.

She is someone hard to decipher and one who will definitely do something crazy suddenly.” Rui sincerely responded. If Cali did not come into his life, he probably would end up chasing Candice but then Cali came knocked in his life and his heart also fell for her unexpectedly.

”Bicker?!” Cali questioned and Rui nodded. He surely described the woman with great intense admiration!

Cali could no longer help it as her nostrils started flaring. Her face could not be painted and was too crumpled. She was glad Rui was driving and could not see it.
