“I really admire her! Ulric doesn’t even care about her, what chance do I have?”
“That’s true.”
After a few words with Johnny, Lion hung up the phone.
He immediately contacted Mr. Wong, asking him to inform Rosalind that there was an urgent matter in Wayer City requiring her return.
Ulric was also in Jingtown, and Lion couldn’t let Ulric have the opportunity to approach Rosalind.
After putting down the phone, Lion was about to lock the screen subconsciously, but his gaze inadvertently caught a phone number saved on his mobile.
It was Sirena’s mobile number.
He had secretly taken it from Johnny’s phone earlier.
But he didn’t call.
Now was not the time for final steps; he didn’t want to escalate the situation.
…
When Mr. Wong called, Rosalind was still troubled about the driver’s matter.
She wanted to meet the person soon to find out exactly what had happened and how her medication had been countered.
“When will you return to Wayer City? We need you here.”
“Things here are pretty settled, so maybe the day after tomorrow! Lion is also in Jingtown, I’ll ask him.”
“Okay, sounds good!”
After hanging up, Rosalind checked again if the driver had responded.
The longer it took, the more unsettled she felt!
Finally, she received his message.
Wayer City driver: [Let’s meet at 7 PM tonight at B&C?]
[Okay! I’ll also bring your invoice.]
She quickly got ready, even putting the invoice in her bag beforehand.
Just as she stepped out of her hotel room, she saw Lion standing at a corner nearby, smoking.
Upon seeing Rosalind, Lion extinguished his cigarette and walked towards her, “Did you rest well?”
“Yes.”
“What are you up to?” Lion looked her over, noting her attire clearly meant for going out.
“I’m meeting a friend. He helped me last night, and I’m treating him to dinner as a thank you.”
Lion smiled.
This friend of hers, most likely one of Ulric’s men!
Otherwise, how could he know about these things, even acting before Zenith could harm her.
“Mind if I join you? I’d like to thank your friend too.”
Rosalind faltered, her brow furrowing slightly, “That… might not be convenient. He doesn’t know you.”
“Once we meet, he will! After all, he did me a great favor too. Without being in Jingtown, Zenith’s people would have targeted you, and your friend timely stopped them. I must thank him no matter what!”
Rosalind certainly didn’t want to bring Lion along.
Especially since she and the driver were only meeting for the second time-what was he to them?
“He’s from Wayer City. Maybe you can meet him when we get back there. Today is about thanking him, and it’s not really convenient to bring you along.”
“Then I’ll just drive you there.”
Lion didn’t press her, mainly wanting to see who this person was.
This man of Ulric’s, he needed to know his enemy.
“I can take a taxi by myself.”
“I’m free anyway, why take a taxi? What, are you worried about what I might do?”
“… Fine then.”
Rosalind didn’t want to argue with Lion; her mind wasn’t on this. She just wanted to meet the driver and hear what had happened last night.
Lion drove her straight to the restaurant. Since it wasn’t time for their appointment yet, Rosalind stayed in the car, discussing work-related matters with Lion.
