Suny fastened the seat belt and found Austin staring at her when she looked up.
“Is there anything on my face?” She smiled.
That was impossible. She was sure that she had removed the makeup and washed her face before she came out of the park.
“Was it fun?” Austin shook his head.
“Yeah.” But actually, she thought it was less challenging.
She’d got a good memory. She could process those clues in her mind after reading them once, reorganize, and find the answer.
“What would you like to eat for dinner?”
Suny didn’t have a plan. After all, she was not hungry after having some desserts.
But, she said while she was looking at Austin, “How about Bishounen?”
“OK!” Austin answered and started the car slowly.
Suny received a text message from Alicia after dinner. The paparazzo took their pictures when she left without any makeup on her face. The paparazzo had nothing arresting since they had failed to photograph the crew or the stars in the Recreational Vehicle, so they had to upload the photos of Suny and Austin.
But neither of them was in the entertainment circle, so the photos didn’t fascinate the public. If Alicia wasn't sensitive to gossip, Suny wouldn’t have known it from the beginning.
“Well, Austin is good to you now. I heard from the paparazzo that Austin has been waiting in his car outside since three in the afternoon.”
Reading the message from Alicia, Suny couldn’t help to look at Austin, “How long have you been waiting for me?”
“Just a while.” Austin raised his head and looked at her.
Suny simply stared at him but said nothing.
“Since around three in the afternoon.” Austin couldn’t stand the stare.
“Why did you come so early?”
He didn’t say a word. Instead, he just looked her in the eyes.
Why did he arrive so early? Of course, he missed her a lot!
“I am done.” Suny crooned.
“OK.”
“Let’s go home,” Austin answered her.
It was still early when they left Bishounen.
Suny remembered that they were running out of toothpaste when they were waiting at the red light. She turned her head and looked at Austin beside her, “Pull over later by the square. I want to get some daily necessities.”
“OK!” He parked the car five minutes later and they went out of the car.
People living around were taking a stroll along the square. Some families were taking a walk after dinner and quite a few young couples like them were idling around. There were more people in the shopping mall. It was torture to stay in without air conditioners turning on in such a scorching summer.
This was the second time that Suny and Austin went shopping in the mall. The first time was that Suny took him to get the slippers.
Suny put her arms around his neck tightly and let him carry her upstairs.
She must get up early the next day. So, she fell asleep soon after taking a bath. Austin found Suny asleep when he finished his work and returned to the bedroom. He turned off all the lights except a night light and went into the bathroom with a bathrobe.
Austin found his phone vibrating on the night table when he finished bathing. He frowned and picked up the phone quickly in case to wake Suny up.
It was from Elijah. Austin just hung up on him. But Elijah was such a risk taker. He called again in a few seconds. Austin knew how cheeky Elijah was! If he didn’t answer this phone call, Elijah would keep calling him again and again until he powered off the phone or picked up the phone.
Suny was sleeping soundly in bed. Probably she was tired today. He went over and tucked her hands and feet in. Then he went downstairs to the second floor and answered the call from Elijah, “You’d better have something serious to tell me!”
Elijah, on the other side of the phone, could feel the anger in it, but he did have something big to tell him, “Do you know who Suny is in Phantom, dude?”
Hearing Elijah’s words, Austin was a bit surprised. He knew Suny had been keeping her head down and no one could figure out that she was Suny, which meant that Suny was really good at keeping it a secret.
But what Elijah said didn’t necessarily mean that he had figured out who Suny was. Then, he just followed the trend and asked, “You know?”
Elijah was a bit smug when he found out Austin didn’t know who Suny was. “You don’t know it, do you? Actually, Suny in Phantom is Rosa Lee herself!”
After he had found out the big secret, Elijah snorted, “You see? Where there is Suny, there is Rosa. Whenever important meetings are held, Rosa must be present! Moreover, as I see it, the shareholders and staffs in Phantom are far more polite and humble to Rosa than to any other secretary. It’s normal that the staffs are respectful and polite to Rosa since she is Suny’s senior consultant and secretary. But why even the other shareholders and board members are so respectful to her? Here’s the only answer!”
Austin frowned with despise and answered perfunctorily, “Oh! Good for you! I am hanging up if you don’t have any other things. Suny has to get up early for the show recording tomorrow morning.”
Well, he had overestimated Elijah! Austin hung up the phone after he finished talking.
Elijah was stunned and confused at it. Wasn’t it striking news? Why was Austin so calm and emotionless?
