Chapter 1005

“Let me tell you something,” he began, his voice filled with mischief. Whenever I was out with these buddies of mine, lan would never answer my calls. He would just hang up on me. But recently, because of all the ruckus in the Raymond family, he decided to pick up the phone. But I can bet you, he won’t show up here. He’ll call in less than a minute.”

No sooner had he voiced this prediction than his phone began to ring. It was indeed lan calling.

Ryan didn’t pick up. Instead, he bumped his shoulder against Maja’s in a friendly nudge.

“See, he never calls me first. But now, he’s panicking.”

Ryan then hung up on lan right in front of Maja.

But in less than a few seconds, lan called again.

Just like Ryan had said, lan was indeed panicking.

Ryan kept hanging up, but this time, lan sent him a video call request.

Ryan nearly dropped his glass of whisky. He knew lan was desperate, but he didn’t expect him to be this desperate.

Ryan was a bit scared now, worried about what might happen when lan eventually showed up.
