My Love, Enlighten me

Kenny suspended his hand with chopsticks in the air.

Then he put down the chopsticks in a hurry and was going to reach his phone but was stopped by Gloria.

“Carl Cook was on it now.”

Gloria did not want him to get back to work at this hour, so she told him that, while the fact was she did not know whether Carl could deal with it or not.

Yet Kenny still took it and then dialed the number of Carl.

Carl Cook just laid down after a busy day but got woken up. He picked the phone without a look at the number.

“Who the hell is this?!” He shouted.

“Me.” One word of Kenny and Carl was sober.

Carl softened his tone a lot and then said.

“Holy shit, my young master. Don’t you think it’s too late to call me right now? If you got that time, please do me a favor and check the whole thing of Si Chengyu, will you? Gloria has also been involved, and for that, I don’t even have time to sleep these days.”

Carl Cook and Kenny Clarke were close friends, and when it comes to important things, there will be straight talk

“And we don’t know what the one behind this want from us, but he clearly knew the relationship between you and Gloria, or he wouldn’t stick to Gloria like a goddamn chewed gum on the floor, leaving us in this tricky situation.”

Kenny kept listening without a word, making Gloria unaware of what Carl was saying.

After Kenny hung up, they both sat there quietly and did not say anything for a long time.

“I met Si in the company today.” Gloria broke the silence.
