BXBX NOVEL Chapter 251 - Phone Dating
"I don't know, you need to figure this out. It has been two days but he hasn't called or even messaged me yet, what if he is in trouble?" Kiara panicked. It had been two days since she had last heard from him, he had promised to call her as soon he comes back but he hasn't. Though she knew that it was normal for him to be absent during missions, she still couldn't help but feel worried and anxious for him.
"Well, what if he is back but forgot about you?"
Scrunching her brows, Kiara retorted, "No, he did not forget about me."
"And how are you so sure? Whatever it is girl, he is a man and it's hard to trust them," Elizabeth stated.
"No you—" Kiara stopped midway when her phone started ringing. She quickly grabbed it and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the caller ID. Shoving the phone in Elizabeth's face, she scoffed, "You see that? I told you he would never forget about me."
Not paying heed to anything that Kiara was saying, Elizabeth diverted her attention towards her laptop screen.
Without wasting any more time, Kiara rushed out of the room to receive the call.
….
Outside.
"I thought you would not receive my call," Linhou chuckled.
"And I thought you wouldn't call," Kiara replied.
When he did not say anything for a really long time, she scrunched her brows. "Hello, are you there?"
"I am very much present, just trying to control my heart which is brightly beating after hearing your sweet voice," he answered.
Pursing her lips to stop herself from blushing hard, she cleared her throat. "You are very cheesy."
"You can blush as much as you want but too bad I cannot see you," he sighed.
Keeping quiet for a couple of seconds, she inquired, "So how was your mission?"
"Well, it was quite smooth and I am on my way back home." Pausing for a while, he added, "It took a little longer than I had expected but well, at least the work was done and the boss is happy."
"What kind of mission was this?" she inquired.
"I can't tell you what exactly it was but let just say that it was not a fatal one but it was very challenging," he answered.
Without waiting for her reply, he continued, "Well, since we are phone dating until we meet personally, there are a few thighs we should clear between us."
"What? Who is dating whom?" she chuckled.
"You and me. I am talking about us."
"I don't remember dating anyone."
Thinking for a while, he stated, "Let me send you a virtual rose and ring."
Before she could understand what he meant, she received a text from him which was an emote of rose and a ring along with a text which said "Will you be my virtual girlfriend?"
Helplessly shaking her head she chuckled, "How do you even come up with things like this?���
"Lets just say that your virtual boyfriend is a very talented man," he proudly stated.
When she did not say anything, he inquired, "So what do you think?"
"I think it's worth a shot," she smiled.
"Okay so since we are officially phone dating now, let's set some boundaries for our professional side." Without waiting for her reply, he continued, "There is no problem from my side but I do believe that you have been asked not to associate with me or anyone from our side yet so—"
Widening her eyes in shock, she snapped, "How do you know that?"
"Honey, there are many things that I know. Anyway, since it's forbidden from your side, there are things that we cannot tell each other and it's not because we don't trust each other but it's like being unfair to our bosses."
"Alright go on," she instructed.
"So until we meet officially and the differences between our groups are solved, lets keep the professional information to ourselves? Deal?" he inquired.
Since whatever Linhou said made sense, Kiara agreed to it. Though she was asked to stay away from them for the time being, she very well knew that Linhou and the others were not foes. Considering the fact that they would work together in the future and that she really liked Linhou, she decided to give in.
"Deal."
"Great, I am driving right now but I'll give you a call as soon as I reach home, okay? Miss me."
After hanging up the call, she jumped in joy before rushing towards her room.
...
One hour later.
Ning and Yichan's place.
Glancing at the watch, Guiren sighed, "Where is this man?"
Looking at Jason who was busy playing games on his laptop, Guang frowned, "Why don't you call him?"
"Who?" he inquired.
"Linhou," Guang snapped.
Without taking his eyes off the screen, he answered, "Don't worry boss, he will be here soon."
Just then Linhou entered the mansion along with a man who had a black cloth wrapped around his eyes and his hands were cuffed at the back.
"Sorry everyone, I had to stop by a store and grab some food because my travel buddy was feeling super hungry," Linhou informed everyone before sitting on the couch.
Massaging his neck, he sighed, "I feel so exhausted, travelling is so tiring."
Looking at the man, Yichan frowned, "Who is he?"
"Remember the surprise I was talking—"
Cutting him off, Jason groaned, "Oh please don't tell me that you brought a human home because you think he has an elephant shaped nose or gun shaped eyes."
Rolling his eyes at him, Linhou snapped, "No man but how cool it would be if such a unique kind of human really existed."
"Linhou come to the main point," Bojing stated.
Sticking his tongue out, he started explaining, "So while I was looking for the irritating doctor, someone bumped against my car and he would have definitely died if I hadn't applied the brakes on time."

SPECIAL AUTHOR'S NOTE:-
Hey everyone, I had to take a short break because I wasn't feeling well for the past few days. I think I burned myself out during the win-win event last month. It has been really stressful and I almost ended up in the hospital again like last time.
But now I feel a lot better and you can expect regular updates for all my books (even One last time).
I hope you all are okay too :)
Lot's of love,
Sofia ♥
