Chapter 351: THINKING ABOUT YOU
"Especially what you did to my parents."
Hailee said the sentence loud enough, leaving the several people around the room stunned enough to stare at each other.
What had George done to Hailee\'s parents?
The eight pairs of eyes in the room looked confused as they cast their gazes between Hailee and George and none of them could utter a single word amidst the row between George and his niece.
However, that didn\'t mean they didn\'t have their own assumptions and what they came up with was way too terrifying for them to even think of it as a possibility.
Is it possible…. Something like that actually happened?
It was no secret that people like them, when it came to power and wealth, would do anything to achieve both and George was no exception...
However, they did not dare to express that opinion, because it was too twisted to be brought up.
On the other hand, George felt his cell phone, which he had placed in his left pocket, vibrate suddenly, signaling an incoming call.
By looking at George\'s simple gesture alone, Hailee could guess the situation on to the point. "Why don\'t you just pick up your phone?" Hailee tilted her head and looked at her uncle with lazy eyes. "Maybe something important happened at home."
At this point, George really wanted to run across the room and give Hailee a hard slap on the cheek for being so bold to mock him in front of these important people.
However, that would only be a wish, where the twelve bodyguards surrounding Hailee alone were enough for George to know what the end result would be.
Fuck!
And the cell phone in George\'s pocket was still vibrating, indicating that whoever was calling him now had an urgent situation to talk to him.
================
Even though Lexus didn\'t go to the office today and was asked to rest, it didn\'t mean he could enjoy this relaxing time.
Throughout the morning and afternoon, his head felt like it was going to burst from the pain and he threw up every time he tried to eat something.
Lexus\' condition only slightly improved after noon when Doctor Bram came to check on his condition and gave him some medicines that Lexus had to take and put him on an infusion. Lexus finished two infusion bottles until he felt better.
And when Ramon was on his way home, he took the time to call Lexus to ask what he wanted.
His brother, on a very, very rare occasion, offered to buy him something.
Of course Lexus would not let this opportunity pass. Even though he didn\'t really want anything and there was no other dish that was much tastier than Hailee\'s, he still wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
"You\'re going to finish it all?" Ramon frowned when he heard Lexus\' unreasonable list of requests. He knew that his little brother was only asking for so much food just because he had the names in his head, not because he really wanted to eat them all.
"Of course, I\'m so hungry," Lexus whined. "I\'m sick, remember? I need lots of nutritious food. You better get me some good food."
Lexus didn\'t get an answer from Ramon after he whined like that, because after that his brother cruelly disconnected the line, leaving Lexus to guess for himself, whether he would be given food or not.
But, that didn\'t matter, because as Ramon had expected, Lexus didn\'t really want all those dishes.
And he also knew why Ramon was suddenly a little warm to him.
The two of them were just looking for the right time to discuss this. Discussing Leon\'s issue was such a sensitive topic and even though neither of the two wanted to talk about it, still the pent-up emotions weren\'t good.
================
Ramon came home three hours later with all the dishes Lexus wanted and glared at his brother.
"Hey, I\'m sick, remember? Don\'t stare at me like that, you will make me sicker…" complained Lexus, who was now opening the nearest food box and eating it.
It was noodles with beef, which was spicy and scorched on Lexus\' tongue, so he took the second dish which happened to be asparagus soup and started drinking it instead.
"Lexus," Ramon said, he then sat down on the nearest sofa and looked at his brother.
Since Lexus wasn\'t at his best, he decided to stay at Ramon\'s house, especially since Hailee wasn\'t around either.
The woman was spending the night at the Tatum residence, which meant it was the first time Ramon and Hailee were away from each other after their marriage.
"I know what you want to say," Lexus muttered. "Wait for me to finish eating."
Hearing that, Ramon then took his cellphone and stood up from the sofa. He made his way to the balcony of the room and called Hailee, while waiting for Lexus to finish eating.
Ramon felt like not going back to his room because he knew Hailee wasn\'t there to wait for him.
His woman was tens of kilometers away from him and this left him annoyed.
"What are you doing?" Ramon asked shortly as soon as Hailee picked up his phone call.
================
The day was really exhausting for Hailee, but also quite fun, especially since she managed to embarrass George in front of the crowd by ousting him from his current position, which was certainly a very refreshing thing.
Not only that, Hailee even imprinted in her memory the look on George\'s face when he found out there were several police officers looking for him at home while some of them directly came to the office, carrying an arrest warrant against him.
"I managed to find Aileen," said Pyro after Hailee picked up the phone.
Of course the news was like an extra gift for Hailee, which brought a sweet smile to her lips.
"Wait for further news from me," said Hailee and then cut the line off, she wanted to immediately tell Ramon this, and describe how her day was.
However, before Hailee could reach Ramon, her husband had called her first.
"What are you doing?" Ramon asked shortly after Hailee picked up the phone call.
With a sweet smile and sparkling eyes, Hailee replied, "Thinking and missing you," she said.
