Qu Leqi stopped, turned her head, and said, "You tell Mr. Nian yourself! Otherwise, Mr. Nian might think I didnât relay the message or that I used some tricks. Iâm not going to take the blame for this!"
"I donât have a phone."
Su Jin, after being glanced at by Qu Leqi, obediently handed over her phone to Heather. However, the latter looked at it and said, "Number."
Actually, she knew Nian Shenâs number; he had given her his number and the hotel room number. She had a photographic memory, and those digits were already etched in her mind.
But she didnât want people to know she knew Nian Shenâs number, to avoid the impression that she had memorized it on purpose, which could lead to unnecessary controversy.
Qu Leqi was about to recite the number to her when she suddenly hesitated. No! Wouldnât that expose Mr. Nianâs number to Su Jin? If Su Jin got to know, it might quickly spread throughout the whole crew!
These little vixens, does she not know what they are plotting? Absolutely canât give them any chance!
"Alright, alright! Use mine then!" Qu Leqi, very reluctantly, handed her own phone over to Heather, "Are you this poor to not even afford a phone?"
When Heather took it, Nian Shenâs number was already on the screen, and she directly dialed it.
It rang a few times before it was picked up.
"Hello?" Nian Shenâs voice was very calm.
"Mr. Nian, itâs meâ"
"Heather?"
She was momentarily stunned.
She was ready to say her name, but Nian Shen had already recognized her voice.
"Yes, itâs me, Heather. About dinner tonightâ"
"Uh, just come over with Qu Leqi," Nian Shen didnât seem to be just talking on the phone; he seemed to be multi-tasking, "Yi Yang will pick you up and bring you both over."
"No, Mr. Nian, I think I shouldâ"
"What?" Nian Shen clearly wasnât paying full attention, speaking intermittently as he conversed with someone else in French.
Heather understood French, among many other Romance languages. Once you understand one of these, learning the others becomes easier.
Heather has always been a quick learner, mastering basic everyday conversations.
At the moment, Nian Shen was discussing business, using all business jargon. She could only catch bits and pieces, understanding only a few words and phrases.
"Okay," Nian Shen seemed to misunderstand something, "Then Iâll ask Yi Yang to find another person, and you each can have a car."
"Itâs not thatâ"
He probably thought she was still in conflict with Qu Leqi and did not want to ride with her?
She was not the type to be petty, she simply didnât want to go!
"Be on time, Iâll show you the progress on the necklace, there are pictures sent over."
"...Okay."
In the end, Heather couldnât say anything and just handed the phone back to Qu Leqi.
Qu Leqi very reluctantly took her phone back, without saying anything.
Obviously, she didnât refuse at all!
But she didnât want to meddle in her matters anyway, since Nian Shen was surely hers! Heather shouldnât even think about it!
Curiously, Su Jin asked, "What does Mr. Nian mean by having you and Qu Leqi go to dinner together?"
"Nothing, just dinner."
Laughing, Su Jin said, "Definitely more than that! Otherwise why would Mr. Nian only invite you two to dinner? Not us? There must be a reason."
Heather smiled and said nothing.
Yes, who knows.
