65 The Call (2/2)
she just barely made a few steps when her phone rang again. when she checked that it was still the same unknown number she rejected the call. but then again, it was persistent. she decided to block the number but a message appeared. when she opened it, her world froze.
'answer. it's about your father!'
she looked around to find a secluded space but couldn't find any. in the end she went back to the office where liu zijian stayed and since the latter was already in the meeting, no one would be around.
she answered immediately when her phone rang again.
”d'mmit meixiu! why are you so paranoid?” the irritation was clearly obvious on the woman's voice.
she sounded so familiar.
”i won't if in the first place you introduced yourself! just who are you?” she started to get angry as well. 'if you're cursed with someone you didn't know and you didn't get upset, you're definitely not normal.' she inwardly said as she rolled her eyes.
”seriously, you didn't know me?”
”duh! would i ask if i do?” she annoyingly answered but she stopped when she realized the way the woman spoke. ”han mingxia?!?! your in k country? aren't you...” before she could finish the woman on the other line cut her sentence.
”wow, thank you! you finally remember me! i thought getting married and experiencing the carnal activity made your brain mushy!”
”shut up! you think i would even enter this situation if you didn't escape?!?”
”oh come on, don't talk as if you didn't like it!”
”enough! what do you know about my father?”
”a lot. but we need to meet.”
”i'm not in the capital.”
”two days from now, free your time. late night better. alone.”
”that would be hard!”
”that's your problem. i'll call you again to tell you the place.”
after the call ended she wasn't able to move for quite some time. how on earth she could go out late at night alone? and what did han mingxia mean when she said she knew a lot about her father?
her phone rang again but now it's liu zijian. for sure he's looking for her and wondering why she's late.
”where are you? you're not yet here.”
she's right. he was looking for her. it was only for a mere few minutes. now, how could she sneak out at night? she released a deep breath before she answered.
”i'm on my way. i just forgot something.”
”alright. the meeting won't start without you.”
she wanted to answer that she's just an insignificant assistant 'secretary' thus the meeting could definitely start without her but she simply answered, ”okay.”
