CHAPTER 698
Ren put on his best smile as well and turned around to go make his call.
He would tend to the matter at hand later, but now, he needed to inform his boss and that was what mattered most.
Watching him leave silently, he walked away from the kitchen and went to her room to make his call. Chen’an did not say anything.
She waited till she was sure he had gone in and shut the door before she made her move.
Ever since he stayed with her, he had not had any cause to call someone but now he did. It simply meant it was an important call and something that may open her eyes to a lot of things.
.....
Meanwhile, as soon as he got in, he quickly dialed the number he wished to call and waited for the person to answer.
“Hello.”
“Hello,” the masculine voice on the other end of the phone asked in a somewhat angry voice.
“Boss, it is me.”
“I know,” he replied sharply.
“What took you so long in contacting me?”
“My apologies. I...”
“Do not tell me you encountered a problem now?”
“If you do not want to know, I would not tell you I encountered some problems,” Ren joked.
“Ren.”
“I know, I know. My apologies sir.”
“Fine,” he let out a soft sigh. “What is your status? Did he find you out?”
“Yes, and he sent his men to get me.”
“And Li Jing?”
“All good. He protected her well. Sadly, I cannot say the same for me. I was shot though but I escaped and have been hiding.”
“Hiding?”
“Yes, I had to flee my car and got shot. Now, they still lurk around my car. Which was why I could not call since.”
‘I understand. And whose number is this?” He inquired.
“Oh, the friend housing me.”
“Friend?” His brows raised up, as he awaited a reasonable explanation of things. “Explain.”
“She helped me.”
“She? Why do I not have a good opinion about that? Sometimes the feminine gender can be easily influenced.”
“You have nothing to worry sir. It is under control. I would be paying her in due time once I am properly healed and fit to work.”
“Alright. Do not forget to keep an eye out. Knowing Ye Cheng, he would not rest until he gets what he wants done. I advise, Lie low.”
“I have been doing that for the past five days, or so,” Ren informed him, as he tore his gaze to the door to be sure no one was there, then he fixed his gaze back at the window.
“That is true. However, lay low. This is quite important you see. nI cannot afford for things to go awire or that we be discovered or exposed.
“I am willingly to fix things up no matter. I would be on the look out. However, when would the attack be?”
Chen’an’s eyes widened hearing his words. She placed a hand over her lips while her eyes moved frantically.
“I do not know for now. I would inform you but just so they act without my consent, I need you to report as soon as you can.”
“Got it sir. Also, please I would be needing some supplies and a phone delivered to where I am. I would leave soon and start my operation properly.”
“Got it. Leave the address of where you are for me and I would have everything delivered at a particular time tomorrow.”
“Thanks. I await it then. I am at...”
Chen’an’s brows creased as she rested against the wall for a minute before she mocved away and went back to the kitchen.
She could not really speak concerning what she heard. All she knew was the fact that he had talked to the employer but he was careful not to make mention of his name and that would be hard to find out.
She turned back on the gas and placed the sauce pan on the fore. She got out a wooden spatula and used it to turn the sauce in the frypan.
Several thoughts plagued her mind concerning what she had heard just now from her eavesdropping.
She heard the door click open and then a few seconds passed, it closed back.
His footsteps on the floor where light, so she could hardly hear him, however when he got close enough, she could perceive him.
“Hey, thanks , I am done with your phone,” he stretched his hand holding the phone to her and smiled
“You are a darling.”
She turned to look at him and rolled her eyes before taking her phone from his hand. “I know I am a darling.”
“Great. So, is the meal done?”
“Don’t you know how to cook?” She asked him sarcastically.
“Hmm, I do not know why you are angry at me, Chen’an.” The second those words flew out of his mouth, he wished they had remained in and not flown out. She glared daggers at him.
GULP!
“Umm, Chen’an, my bad. I know I should never have said what I said. It was a slip of tongue.”
‘No.” She turned around fully. “You really should know why I am angry.” She tightened her hold on the spatula and took steps in his direction as he retreated.
“You came close, held me, touched me and tried to kiss but then you stopped?” The look on her face showed so much dread, that he swallowed hard at the sight before him. “And now you ask me why I am angry?”
“I am so sorry. It was really a slip of tongue.”
“Great. I hope that tongue can save you now.” His feet backed away till he met a resistance.
The door.
A small nervous smile appeared on his face as she lifted her spatula up to hit him. He waited for it to come down first and as soon as it did, he gripped her wrist, turning her around, till it was shim who was pinning her down like a prey.
“Got you now, love. Since I made you angry, why not I make up for it?”
