Sunny has never seen such a serious housekeeper in all her life, and it's like having the one from the TV show replayed in front of her, which makes her feel a little weird.
But soon she doesn't have time to wonder. Because she sees Andrei sitting there with a smile on his face in his black suit.
Yes, he is sitting in a wheelchair.
Sunny asks quietly behind Kevin, "Can't he walk?"
Kevin replies softly. Then he walks up as Andrei watches him, "Mr.Hawkins."
Andrei smiles, "Kevin, you're here. And this is?"
Saying that, he looks at Sunny behind him and a strange feeling crosses his eyes.
But soon he restrains the look and smiles at Sunny as well, "What's your name?"
Sunny is at a loss for words. She looks at Kevin and her earlier grand gesture of coming to revenge for Troy is gone.
"Just answer directly."
"My name is Sunny."
Andrei raises an eyebrow unexpectedly as he hears the name, "Your name seems familiar."
Something that happened before flashes through his mind, making him looks at Sunny in front of him in an absent mood.
"Kevin, I'm scared when he looks at me like that."
Kevin can't help but laugh inwardly and then answers quietly, "Don't be scared, he doesn't eat people."
"Ahem, just sit down." Andrei looks at t Sunny and Kevin, who keeps looking at each other, and understands that he is scaring her, so he quickly greets them to sit down.
For some reason, Sunny looks at Andrei's empty trousers and gets the feeling that he's not the man she thought he was.
"Kevin, hurry up and talk."
Sunny is still rather afraid of the awkward silence, especially in this situation. The three of them sit smiling face to face, but each of them has their own thoughts in mind.
Kevin receives instructions from his girlfriend and clears his throat, "Mr.Hawkins, I came here mainly because I have something important to ask you."
Andrei then turns his attention to Kevin, "Well, just say it."
"My friend, Troy, who you also know."
Kevin says as he keeps his eyes on Andrei, trying to see something in his face.
But Andrei, the old fox, hides his expression well. Even though Kevin keeps staring at him, he doesn't see anything.
"I know him, go ahead."
"He got a call from a strange number yesterday. I don't know what the caller said to him. His state of mind isn't good now and he's still in the hospital."
Hearing this, Andrei raises his eyebrows, "Yeah? That would be a real pity."
Kevin only then continues, "That number seems to be yours."
Sunny can feel her back sweating at Kevin’s words, not to mention how tense her face is. Andrei, however, remains calm.
"Oh? My number?" He says as he touches his pocket, "I don't have my phone on me."
Kevin never expects him to answer like that and he feels his face twitch.
To prove his innocence, Andrei calls in Kasper, who has just gone down, "Have you seen my phone?"
Kasper scratches his head. He looks as confused as his master.
"Your phone? If I remember correctly, your phone lost a few days ago."
What?
Sunny and Kevin both looks at each other. Really?
"Mr. Hawkins, you actually didn't go to retrieve your phone. Aren't you afraid that someone will pick it up and use it indiscriminately?"
Andrei smiles and glances at Kevin, "If someone dares, then you think I'll let him go?"
Kevin can't go on as he hears the threat implied in his words.
"Well, we've been bothering you for too long. We won’t affect your rest. We will take our leave now."
Kevin says as he winks at Sunny, indicating for her to stand up.
Sunny stands up obediently. She smiles apologetically at Andrei and then follows Kevin with Andrei's nod of acquiescence.
"Kasper, see the guests off. Kevin, come spend more time with me when you have time."
After nodding, Kevin turns around and puts away his smile, following behind Kasper with an indifferent face.
It is only after they both waved Kasper into the car with a smile that Sunny has time to ask questions.
"Kevin, why did you just suddenly leave?"
"He still has the phone, and he's lying."
"What?" Sunny is curious as to how he sees it. Andrei and his servant speak so sincerely that she thinks he's really lost his phone.
"Would he be so calm if it was really lost?"
"Why not..."
"A guy like him must have secrets on his phone. Do you think he wouldn't go looking for it if he did lose it?"
"Oh... I was thinking maybe Bella stole her dad's phone and then did all these things."
"... It's possible."
...
"So you've been analyzing this for a while and you still have no definitive proof?"
"You've said I'm analyzing it. Besides, he's warned me, so what can I say?"
Sunny listens to him as if he isn't having the same conversation as what she hears.
