He frowned, but seeing that there was still silence on the other end, he spoke up once more, "I'm sorry …"
The remaining 'May I know who you are? Why aren't you speaking? 'before Lu Benlai could finish his sentence, the other party had already hung up on him.
Just like that, the words that Lu Benlai was about to say got stuck in his throat.
Hearing the 'du du du du' tone from his phone, he couldn't help but feel a little flustered.
Seeing that Lu Benlai wasn't moving, the air stewardess walked over and reminded him, "Mr. Lu, it's about time for you to board the plane."
Recovering from his daze, Lu Benlai put his phone away and began making his way to the boarding gate. However, after taking two steps, he suddenly paused.
For some reason, he felt that there was more to that call …
After a moment of contemplation, he took out his phone and gave the other party a call.
After the call was connected, it rang many times, but no one answered.
Lu Benlai frowned, and the uneasiness in his heart intensified. After contemplating for two seconds, he made another call.
This time, the call went through, but unlike before, there was no one picking up. Instead, there was a response very quickly, but the other party had already hung up.
It was one thing for the other party to remain silent after picking up the call, but when he called the other party, the other party didn't pick up either. What was the meaning of this?
Lu Benlai wanted to make a third call, but before he could touch his phone screen, a notification popped up on his screen.
It was from the unknown number that had called him earlier …
[Hello, sir. I'm here to deliver the cufflinks to you. May I know which compartment of the restaurant are you in?]
Upon seeing this message, Lu Benlai suddenly realized why he found this number so familiar … It turned out to be the mother of the little girl whom he had sent home yesterday … He had arranged to meet her at the entrance of the restaurant, but he was simply too busy today. After going on an abrupt business trip, he had been busy answering calls nonstop, so he had completely forgotten about this matter.
Lu Benlai quickly replied: [I'm sorry, but I have to go on an abrupt business trip today, so I won't be able to meet you.]
[Is that so? If it's convenient for you, can you give me an address so that I can mail it to you? Or perhaps you have another contact, I can deliver the cufflinks to them …]
Lu Benlai was the one who had decided to meet Zhang Xuan tonight, but he was the one who had broken the appointment. He felt a little embarrassed, so Lu Benlai pondered for a moment before replying, "It's the weekend tomorrow. Are you at home? If you're at home, I'll ask the driver to pick it up at the entrance of your neighborhood. That way, it'll save you some trouble. What do you think? "
"Alright."
Lu Benlai didn't respond.
He lifted his feet and continued to walk towards the boarding gate.
After walking for a short distance, his phone rang again.
It was a message from the little girl's mother.
"When your driver comes tomorrow, ask him to contact this phone number. This is my auntie's phone number. I promised my daughter tomorrow that I would accompany her to Ocean Park, so I won't be at home. However, I gave the cufflinks to my auntie at home. She's always available."
Lu Benlai wasn't in a hurry to reply. Instead, he briefed his driver on the situation, and after the driver informed him of the approximate time he would be heading over tomorrow, he sent a message to the little girl's mother: [The driver will be there at around three in the afternoon tomorrow.]
