Have I Told You Lately novel Chapter 25

Frowning, Osmond looked serious too and didn’t seek for any excuse.

After all, it was he who brought Rachel here. If anything should happen to her, despite accusations from other people, he would feel like hell himself.

So, he gave the address to Kenneth, along with his phone number and added, “Let’s split up. If you find her, please give me a call.”

Without waiting Osmond to finish his words and looking at him, Kenneth walked away and strode towards the gate.

Osmond was kind of shocked and he frowned watching Kenneth’s back.

...

Back in the convenience store, luckily the director could speak English, so Rachel managed to borrow a charger. She found a seat and restarted her phone two minutes after plugging in.

She was about to call Osmond when tons of messages began popping up on the screen in just half a minute.

Rachel’s brain suddenly blocked out.

She blinked her eyes and slowly came to herself. Then she instantly clicked several ones to check.

All were missed calls and messages from Osmond asking where she was and why didn’t she answer the phone.

While pressing the return key, she inadvertently saw a familiar number which made her stiff.

Kenneth?

Was he looking for her, too?

Suddenly the phone rang. Lost in thought, she shivered over the sound and pressed the answer key without hesitation.

“Hello, hello”

“Where are you? Why didn’t you answer my calls?” A familiar deep voice came from the other end of the phone, in which she caught a trace of anxiety.

She froze and then answered stiffly, “My...My phone was dead.”

“Send me a location and I will come pick you up.” The man didn’t ask further.

Rachel wanted to ask why he was looking for her, but thought the question was pointless. So, she pretended to be cool and rejected, “There is no need. I just charged my phone. I can take a taxi back to hotel.”

“Are you sure you can find the right route? This isn’t China.” The man sneered and then added quickly, “I am driving and can’t be distracted. Send me your location. I am coming.”

With that, he didn’t give her the chance to reject again and hung up the phone.

Rachel felt a bit embarrassed and was about to talk back before he hung up. She was indeed a direction idiot, but not a total idiot. Wasn’t she capable of asking for directions? Besides, GPS could help too.

Rachel curled her lips but still sent her location to Kenneth on Wechat. Having been walking for several hours, she was too tired and didn’t want to go find a taxi.

While waiting, she made another call to Osmond.

“Hi, Osmond.”
