Chapter 1003: Had nothing to begin with
He frowned. Seeing that there was still silence, he said again, “I’m sorry...”
Before Lu Benlai could say the rest of the sentence, “May I ask who you are? Why aren’t you speaking?”, the other party hung up the phone.
The words that Lu Benlai wanted to say were stuck in his throat.
When he heard the busy tone of “Du du du du”coming from his phone, he felt an inexplicable sense of panic.
“Mr. Lu, it’s time for you to board the plane.”The flight attendant saw that Lu Benlai was still not moving, so she walked over and reminded him.
Lu Benlai came back to his senses. After putting his phone away, he walked toward the boarding gate. After taking two steps, he stopped again.
For some reason, he felt that the phone call just now was not simple..
After some thought, he took out his phone and returned a call.
After the call was picked up, it rang many times, but no one picked up.
Lu Benlai frowned, and his heart became even more uneasy. After thinking for two seconds, he made another call.
This time, after the call was picked up, it did not ring many times, but no one picked up. Instead, there was a response very quickly, but the call was hung up.
It was clearly a call from the other party. It was fine if he didn’t speak after the call was connected, but now that he called, he didn’t pick up the call. What was the meaning of this?
Lu originally wanted to dial the phone a third time, but before his fingertips touched the phone screen, a text notification popped up on his phone screen.
It was from the unfamiliar phone number that had just called him..
“Hello, Sir, I’m here to give you cufflinks. May I know which private room in the restaurant you’re in?”
Lu Benlai saw this message, he suddenly realized why this phone number looked so familiar... it turned out to be the mother of the little girl that he had sent home yesterday... he had arranged to meet her at the entrance of the restaurant today, and he was really too busy today. After a last-minute business trip, he kept picking up the phone and completely forgot about this matter.
Lu benlai quickly replied, “I’m sorry, I’m really sorry. I have a last-minute business trip today, so I might not be able to meet you.”
“Oh, I see. Then if it’s convenient for you, why don’t you give me an address and I’ll send it to you? or, if you have other contacts, I can send the cufflinks over...”
Originally, Lu Benlai had decided to meet him tonight, but now that he had broken the agreement, he was indeed a little embarrassed. Lu Benlai thought about it, he replied, “Tomorrow is the weekend. Are You At Home? If you’re at home, I’ll get the driver to pick it up at the entrance of your neighborhood. This way, you won’t have to go through the trouble. What do you think?”
“Okay.”
Lu Benlai did not reply.
He lifted his feet and continued to walk towards the boarding gate.
After walking for a short while, his phone rang again.
It was a message from the little girl’s mother.
“Your driver will be here tomorrow. Let him contact this number. This is my aunt’s phone number. I promised my daughter that I would accompany her to Ocean Park Tomorrow, so I’m not at home. However, I’ve given the cufflinks to my aunt at home. She’ll Be Free Anytime.”
Lu Benlai was not in a hurry to reply. Instead, he first told his driver about the general situation. After the driver replied about the time he would be there the next day.., he then sent a message to the little girl’s mother. “The driver will be here at three o’clock tomorrow afternoon.”
“Okay, I will tell aunt to pay attention to your driver’s call at that time. I’m really sorry to have troubled you.”
