This time, heâs causing trouble for her again.
She replied: Whatâs the matter with you now?
Mo Jun Tian: A badass racing team from the neighboring city just hammered us, and now weâre stuck on the mountain...
Heather: ...
Heather: Go die, bye.
Are you still a kid!
Racing against others every day, and the key point is, you lack the skills!
Mo Jun Tian: (Crying) Sis...
Heather: Alright, alright, where are you guys?
If she doesnât solve this issue today, sheâll be harassed to death by his messages!
Mo Jun Tian: Weâre on the top of Autumn Mountain...
Heather: Autumn Mountain?!
Mo Jun Tian: Sis, my beautiful goddess sister! (Sobbing) Donât abandon me...
Heather: I really canât stand you guys...
Traveling all the way to such a far place as Autumn Mountain!
Driving from here to Autumn Mountain takes two hours even without traffic! Itâs almost outside Linyang City! Itâs like going from the west of the city to the east, totally opposite of where she currently is, theyâre really something!
Mo Jun Tian: Sis, you have to come!
Heather: Alright, shut up!
Closing her phone, Heather was about to say something to Nian Shen when he received a call and said a few things.
After he hung up, he said first: "It seems thereâs an issue at the company, I have to go."
"Wait a sec..." Heather stopped him, "Let me talk to Lucia first."
A headache! Who knows if it will work.
If Lucia doesnât agree, sheâd have to make Mo Jun Tian wait another hour.
Heather went to the window to call her.
"Lucia, itâs Heather."
"Hello..." Luciaâs voice on the other end was also resigned, "Heather, do you think weâre the kind of friends who can just call each other anytime to say hi? Why do you keep calling me?"
"...Sis, I donât want to keep calling you either, but I need to discuss something with you. I need to leave for a bit, but promise me, donât make a move on Nian Shen, alright?"
"..." Lucia paused for three seconds, "Are you joking with me? Such a good opportunity for you to leave, and I donât make a move, do you want me to spend my whole life here in Linyang wasting time with you? Iâve spent so long on this crappy task and havenât completed it, the leader is unhappy!"
"...Then be the middleman and help me reach out to him. I want to talk to him."
"Wait, youâre not the old Heather anymore, why should I help you just because you want to talk to the leader?"
"Just help out for old timesâ sake, canât you?"
"No way!"
"Iâll call you sister."
"Even if you call me mom, it wonât help!"
In fact, Heather found it quite embarrassing herself, actually asking an assassin for a few hours to spare someone... But if it werenât because Lucia was someone she knew and understood her personality, she wouldnât even have asked in such a way.
Sheâs a competitive person; picking a time when Heather isnât around lacks challenge. But also, itâs possible she wants to get back to that person sooner.
"Are you sure thereâs no room for negotiation?"
"...How much time do you need?" Luciaâs tone suddenly changed, agreeing.
"Really? Give me four hours!"
"No way, two."
"Two really isnât enough, how about three and a half?"
This negotiation seemed a bit inexplicable until Lucia agreed to give her three hours, at that moment Heather suddenly felt like flipping the table.
What the hell?!
Luckily she wasnât really going to assassinate, otherwise, wouldnât she be driven insane?
