Chapter 1188 The phone rang for a long time, but Harold did not dare pick it up.
In the end, he had no other choice. He closed his eyes, picked up the call, and answered while stuttering, “G George...”
The person on the other side of the phone was stunned for a moment before she chuckled in a clear and pleasant way. “What‘s wrong with you, Harold?”
When he heard the familiar voice, Harold’s eyes flew open in disbelief. “Grapie? Why did you call?”
‘George didn‘t call me? Why was I panicking, then?‘ “Yeah. It‘s me. Didn‘t you see the caller ID?” Ninian‘s sweet voice traveled over. It was laced with amusement.
Harold‘s face instantly turned red. He felt awkward.
The reporters whom he ignored still surrounded him. Harold waved his hand at them to chase them away. “Go. Shoo!”
As he spoke, he started ordering the hotel staff, “Get rid of all the flowers. They‘re embarrassing!”
Once he said that, he returned to the suite and slammed the door shut.
The reporters looked at each other at a loss outside the door.

“I’ll give you a kiss, Harold. Don‘t be mad anymore.” Ninian acted cute and spoke in a soft voice, “Everett said that you gave me a surprise, so we have to give you something in return. We have to reciprocate favors, right?” “Hmph! That guy is so petty!” Harold huffed. “Tell him to wait. I‘m not going to admit defeat like this!” “Don‘t be mad, Harold,” Ninian said, “Everett still has something for you. Do you want it?” “Heh! I don‘t want it!” .
“Fine. Everett heard that you ran into some problems in a research project in your lab lately and couldn‘t solve them no matter what. He was just thinking about helping you,” Ninian said mournfully. “Looks like you don‘t need it.”
“What? Wait! Hang on just a second!” Harold called out to her. “How did he know that I have troubles in the lab? And are you sure that he can help me?”
Harold‘s voice was full of doubt, but it also contained hope and curiosity that he could not hide. Ninian‘s eyes crinkled up in amusement at the other side of the phone. She exchanged a look with Everett, as if they already knew this would happen.
“I don‘t quite know about this. Why don‘t you talk to Everett? I think he can give you some good suggestions.”
