. Raising people's hopes of fright .
The atmosphere was quiet... But, someone's phone ringing broke it.
It was jimeng's phone ringing.
"Pick it up already". xueCheng urged when jimeng wouldn't just stop staring at the phone's surface after bringing it out.
"I'm scared.". He replied, bitting his tongue and putting on the puppy face look.
"What for?.". Anying asked. Puzzled.
Jimeng sighed. Slumping into his seat, he explains. "You see, I called my manager and told him I'd be resuming work tomorrow... But then you came and I had to postpone my resumption date to few Days later.. if I pick up this call, then would I know if my request was approved or declined. ".
Collective ' oh-s ', were his response, before he picked up the call with a resigned sigh.
He was going to do it tither way so why postpone it.
5 minutes later... His call ended, and all three pairs of eyes focused on him immediately.
"What'd your manager say?.". Anying asked him.
"She agreed.". Jimeng replied already having a wide smile.
"Really?.". xueCheng asked.
"Yeah. She said they found out about your friendship tickets. ' it's good for your fame and the company. Try your best ' she said.". Jimeng replied mimicking his manager's voice at the end.
The model had guts....
"That's great then.". xueCheng said. He turned to Xiao hua who had her face plastered to the window, wanting to reprimand her for not joining in on their conversation.
But Karen's voice interupted his advancement.
"Excuse me.". He said.
"Yes?.". Answered xue.
"We're almost at the hotel. My boss told me to inform you about his butler.". Karen began....
Huh?.
That pretty much got a girl's attention because...
Xiao hua removed her face from the window immediately... Preferring to turn and squint her eyes at Karen's direction... Hope they weren't going to meet with another serial killer or something...
Oh she was so ready to kill people if that was the case.
Anying who sensed her killing Intents. "Hey calm down girl.".
"Alright. I will.". Replied Xiao Hua, deciding to face her window again ... But Karen could pretty much still feel the killing Intents being directed towards him ... Threatening him to say the wrong word.
Colour me wow he was impressed... For a girl to have such intents.
"Go on Mr Karen". Jimeng urged ... In the mood for gossip... I mean, in the mood to clear the bad mood as a leader figure for the group. so Karen then cleared his throat when he heard Anying's voice.
"It's nothing serious actually. Just, he tends to misunderstand people's words. That's all.".
Silence followed ... I mean ... The fuck?!. To take people's hopes of fright up like that and then smash it viciously?!. Does this guy know the aura they just exited?!.
"That's all?.". Xiao hua asked.
" Yes. ". Replied Karen, then he Apologized when he realized what he did. "I'm sorry if I had your negative hopes up.". Well he had no clue they came from violent homes.
" It's ok .". xueCheng said. "Right?.". He asked Every one else trying to verify the guy's safety.
" Right ." The rest of them chorused ... Well Xiao Hua mumbled it out.
The rest of the journey was filled with silence... They were all relaxing... Anying didn't like it that way but, he could very well make out the masked expression of fatigue on their faces. so, he didn't ask them to play with him.
Instead, he used the short minutes they used in driving to download games.... The first one he downloaded was arena of death ... It took up a large amount of space...
And also, the reason he downloaded that first was because it took a lot of time before a user's data was transferred... Good for him though, he still remembered his goggle account's password.
So, when he logged in on his phone, he was able to also use it to log into the game.
...
They arrived in front of the hotel by 2:30am.
Karen was the one to walk them into the premises before waving them goodbye after pointing them the silhouette of an Adonis at a corner.
It was a five star hotel .....
Anying now had to wonder if the man plucked money from trees or he was really that rich.
