Lie To Me novel Chapter 40

"Where have you been?" Hans asked as I sat beside him in the conference room.

"Washroom. Are you here yet?" I said, roaming my sight around to see if the new Plant Manager is already inside, but I didn’t see anyone who’s unfamiliar so I guess, nothing yet.

"There's still fifteen minutes more," Hans answered.

The meeting starts at three o'clock and there are still fifteen minutes left.

"Busy?" I asked.

When Mikael was still the Plant Manager, even though it wasn't the right time, as long as he saw that the members were complete, he would start immediately.

Well, that's Mikael.

Hans shrugged. "Maybe. We're not close so I can find out," he replied.

My brows creased. What's the problem with that and it's so ugly. "Did Eli step on you? Why do you seem to be conceiving?" I asked.

News flash: Eli's pregnant.

Hans glared at me and I didn't do anything but laugh at him. I became even more irritated.

"I have something for Eli. You'll come later before you go home, huh?" I told him instead.

"You just give," he said.

I immediately shook my head. "No. It's just you, you're the wife. Just tell me it's from me," I replied.

Hans's attitude rolled his eyes at me. "Baka kasal," ani n'ya.

Another news flash: Eli's pregnant but she doesn't want to get married yet. Reason for Hans to sulk each time he got.

"I'll change my mind too, just wait," I said.

Hans tsk-ed. "I've been waiting for her for years, Jia. I just want to get married, she doesn't want to."
