Chapter 1385 Annoyed
“Lana, can you drop by the hotel? I’d like to ask a favor.”
“Oh, you need me there right away? Okay, I’ll head over now. Calm down, calm down. I’m going now,” replied Lana
as she tilted her head to keep her phone between her ear and her shoulder. While doing that, she reached for her
purse and coat.
“Mom, Dad. There is an urgent matter I have to attend to, so I won’t be staying here tonight.” She grabbed her
purse and shoved her arm into her coat while gesturing at her phone. After shouting that to her parents, she fled
the place as though there was no tomorrow.
“Lana, remember to come home tomorrow. We have a blind date set up for you,” shouted Lana’s mother. Her
words made it into the phone and Xavier couldn’t help snickering when he overheard that.
“Was that a snicker? What the hell is so funny about that?” Lana was so annoyed that she slammed the door to her
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtcar shut before howling into the phone a little.
“Awh, are you annoyed?” asked Xavier. He was deliberately pushing Lana’s buttons, and she was so annoyed that
she rolled her eyes at him.
“Quit yapping and tell me what you want.” Earlier, she was thankful to the guy for calling at the right time and
rescuing her from her parents. That appreciation dissipated after she heard how amused he was at her horrible
situation.
Xavier behaved more professionally once he heard that. “Let’s talk in person. It’ll be difficult to explain the situation
over the phone.”
“Okay, I’ll be there soon.” replied Lana. She hung up, put her phone away, then started driving.
The second she entered the lobby, she saw Xavier sitting on the couch and playing on his phone. A mischievous
glint flashed past her eyes and a devious idea crawled into her mind. She circled around to his back…
“Eric!”
“What the f*ck? Damn, you scared me,” yelped Xavier. He was so surprised that he cussed in Chanaea and
dropped his phone.
Huh… I didn’t know that he was such a scaredy-cat. He even dropped his phone! Now that I think about it, Eric
sometimes acts as though he were a kid who was caught doing something bad. In fact, he’s fumbling right now.
“Oops. Sorry, Eric. I was just angry about you snickering at my misfortune earlier, so I thought I’d pull a small prank
on you. I didn’t realize you are such a scaredy-cat.”
Just apologize nicely, will ya? Why did you have to include that last sentence and call me a coward?
Lana worried that Xavier would get angry, so she changed the topic and asked, “Why were you looking for me,
anyway?”
“Changing the topic, are we?” He glared at Lana a little before asking, “You know your way around the new medical
school, right?”
“Yes, I do. Why are you asking that?”
“I want to work as a bodyguard in that place. Can you help me out?”
Curious, Lana asked, “Why would you want to be a bodyguard there? Do you already know what you’re looking
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmfor?”
Xavier shook his head. “No, not yet. I just think my investigation would go much smoother if I work there and build a
rapport with the others.”
Lana nodded. The prince made an announcement that he had hired a foreigner to teach the citizens on how to be a
medical practitioner. Anyone who was willing to learn could enroll because the royal family would pay for
everything. As a result, many had already applied for a spot there.
The country lacked medical practitioners, so royalties and descendants of noble families were to learn how to be a
doctor. That idea was etched into their brains ever since they were a kid.
It was a rather smart move to go work as a bodyguard there.
“I’ll make some calls and update you on the matter tomorrow,” replied Lana.
I knew it. She can help me get in! Xavier’s lips curved into a smile. “Thanks, Lana.”
At the same time, in Paelsford Manor.
“San, what did that man from yesterday want from you?”
After having a meal together, the family gathered around. Mrs. Wilhelm suddenly remembered the incident that
happened at the Celestial Lake.
“He came to give me an ATM card,” replied Arielle while munching on some apple.
