When Ning Ran came out of the shower, she saw Cheng Xiangyun clinging onto her phone and seemed reluctant to let go of it.

“What are you doing? That’s just an old phone. Do you want it?” Ning Ran frowned as she asked.

“I was just thinking about how nice would it be if this phone were mine.” Cheng Xiangyun sounded like an infatuated school girl.

“Damn! I think there’s something wrong with you. Otherwise, why would you want this outdated phone?” Ning Ran replied, looking at her with disdain.

“Geez, it’s not about the phone. It’s the person who calls this phone whom I want,” Cheng Xiangyun muttered under her breath.

“What are you mumbling to yourself? Are you going crazy?”

“Sir Chen just called to look for you.” Cheng Xiangyun finally stopped digressing.

“What did he say?” Ning Ran asked nonchalantly as she continued drying her hair with a towel.

“He didn’t really say anything,” Cheng Xiangyun answered with a pitiful look on her face.

Ning Ran was puzzled for a moment, but broke into a smile shortly after. It was exactly Nan Chen’s style to call without a specific reason.

“You should give him a call back,” Cheng Xiangyun suggested as she passed the phone back to Ning Ran.

“Not now, I’m still drying my hair,” Ning Ran replied.

“Goodness gracious! Is drying your hair more important that returning Sir Chen’s call?” Cheng Xiangyun raised her voice in disbelief.

“Sir Chen is a human being; I am also a human being. Why should returning his call be more important than drying my hair?”

Ning Ran went back to toweling her hair dry after saying that.

“Fine. You win.” Cheng Xiangyun shook her head, at a loss of words. “No wonder people say, ‘he who knows not, fears not’.”

Ning Ran took her time drying her hair. She even applied some moisturizer on her face before calling Nan Chen.

Right after the call went through, Nan Chen spoke with hint of displeasure in his voice, “Why did you take so long to return my call?”

Ning Ran was about to explain to him that she had just finished showering when she realized that something did not seem right. Why is he shouting at me?

“Mr. Nan, I’m not your employee, I have no obligations to return your call immediately,” Ning Ran retorted mildly.

“Go downstairs now. There’s a car waiting for you, be quick,” Nan Chen said.
