Chapter 141 - The Lopez Cousins (2/2)
”Where are you?”
Fraine twitched her mouth and mumbled to her head. 'He and Rodney are not mistakenly cousins!'
”You don't need to know. I'm going back tomorrow.”
Still, her tone is cold. She waited for the guy to reply, but he remained silent for half a minute.
”You're on the beach?”
Damn! His ears are good! He could have guessed it because of the gentle waves hitting the shore. Now she could not deny anything nor make an excuse.
”Yeah, to breathe some fresh air.”
”Okay. Just don't forget to keep yourself warm at night. You might catch cold breathing the night breeze.”
It was Fraine who is speechless this time, and she remains silent in the next seconds. With the silence between them, she could hear a woman's sweet voice in the background.
”Zaijan, the French investor, and our Canadian business partners have arrived. Let's go. We have to greet them.”
”Okay. You go ahead. I'll be there in the minute.”
Fraine need not guess. She is sure that this woman in the background is cursing her inwardly.
”Fraine, I need to hang up. Don't forget to take your medicine on time.”
She frowned, listening to the man at the end of the line. It irritates her that she was treated like five years old.
She survives living alone for many years, and she handles herself very well. She doesn't need someone to dictate her life.
However, she didn't share her thoughts but stubbornly murmured to her head. 'And who told you to call me?'
She didn't reply to the guy on the other line and let him speak till the end.
On the other side of the world, Zaijan heaves a long sigh. He massaged his forehead and pressed his left temple. He could feel the back of his head throbbing from a severe headache.
”Alright. I need to go.” Zaijan said goodbye after a long moment of silence. He ends the call and puts back his phone in his coat pocket.
He frowned. He already dismissed the woman in front of him; her face exhibited how displeased she was.
And she couldn't take it anymore to be ignored like this.
”Sometimes, I wish I was the mistress here to be pampered and showered with your attention!”
Zaijan sat up from his chair and walked past the woman.
”We are not married yet, but you start acting like a nagging wife.” He scoffed.
”Zaijan Lopez!”

Fraine put down the phone on her lap and stared at it.
Everything is almost perfect but then ruined by this series of calls from those cousins. They're only ruining her wonderful vacation!
Sometimes she could ask herself if those men are truly Vincent Shen's cousins.
Why does the Shen president look gentle, but his cousins are a bunch of idiots and playboys?
How if?
”Fraine, are you alright?”
Suddenly, she was pulled out from her deep thoughts when a hand patted her shoulder. Not only that, she was shaking gently.
She looked up and saw Hailey's worried face.
”Oh. Hailey. Did you say something?”
”I asked if you are alright? Are you feeling okay?”
”Yes, I am! I feel fine. You need not worry. I'm just thinking about something not important.”
”Hmm... Alright. It's time for lunch. Shall we?”
”Okay!”
