Seeing Bun's eyes turn red, Linda wondered
Whether something unpleasant happened between her and Brian Ho.
But Linda Xia didn't ask any more for fear that Bun might recognise her.
Her relationship with Brian was not public knowledge.
Only Charles, Amy, Sarah, and Linda knew about it.
How could the eldest daughter of the Nalan clan know? That would be fishy.
Linda heard a loud bang coming from the restroom.
The toilet cubicle door wouldn't open because Linda had blocked it with a bucket and a mop.
Exerting as much effort as she could, Amy still couldn't open the door.
"What's happening? Why won't the door open?" Amy panicked, pushing the door like crazy.
Upon hearing her shout, Linda and Bun smiled at each other.
"She must be totally annoyed now. Let's get out of here before she calls for help. Anyway, she's the eldest daughter of the Qi clan who came to attend your celebration today. She's a Nalan clan guest."
"Who cares? She's a Nalan clan guest, not mine! I will make sure to keep her in there the whole night. No one will come to help. That's what I'm going to do!"
"How do you plan to do that, Lady Nalan?" Bun asked with great curiosity.
"I'll have the network signal blocked around this area."
Bun sized up the lady before her who somewhat bore a resemblance with Lady Linda in appearance and in personality. Bun was well-disposed toward her.
"Lady Nalan, I should probably go. Lord Nalan and Lady Violet must be wondering where I am. It's nice to meet you. Thank you for helping me out tonight, " Bun said in all sincerity.
Linda didn't want her to go, but she understood and said, "Bun, you are always welcome here. If Amy ever gets you in trouble, come and find me. I will give her hell!" Linda's eyes turned red because she didn't know when they would see each other again.
She hoped in her heart that Lisa treated Bun well.
"Thank you, Lady Haley! It's very kind of you to say so. I will visit you when I'm free. But how do you know my nickname, Bun?" Bun asked in bewilderment.
"Uh... I heard Lady Mu call you Bun when I passed by your table today. It's Bun, right?" Linda quickly made up an excuse.
"Yes, that's right! My full name is Bonny Lu, B-o-n-n-y. Okay, I really need to go. See you soon, Lady Haley, " Bun waved her hand farewell as she trotted away from Linda.
She didn't expect to take so much time in the restroom. Her Ladyship and His Lordship must have been waiting for her.
Violet and James were in the car waiting for Bun.
"Is there anything wrong? Why is Bun taking so long?" Violet asked James Mu who sat next to her.
"What's the rush, my dear? Be patient!" James was amused by his wife's short temper.
Surprised by Linda's call, she immediately answered, "What's the matter, Linda?"
"I need your help, Lily. Do you have any way to block a cellphone signal so that messages can't be sent out?"
"Yes, I can. But why?"
"I trapped Amy in the bathroom, but I can't keep her in there for long if she calls for help, so I'm trying to cut off network signal. No phone calls and no messages. What do you think?"
Amused by her prank, Lily Jiang burst with laughter and said, "No problem. I can easily make a software program to cut off her signal. No one will get her message."
"Brilliant! But you have to hurry before she escapes. If her family finds her, our plan will be screwed, " Linda hastily said.
"Copy that!" Lily answered.
Linda was determined to teach Amy a lesson, but she was worried that the bucket and the mop wouldn't be enough.
"Lily, Where is Nel?" Linda asked.
Lily Jiang threw a glance at Nelson who was standing beside her. She bashfully responded, "Uh...He... He's with me."
"Tell him to bring me a padlock right this instant. I'm going to lock her in the bathroom the whole night."
"You are so bad. Hahaha.... All right. I will tell him."
Nelson got to Linda ten minutes after the girls hung up, with two huge locks in his hands.
