It wasn't long before Angela received a text back from Arvin, and the answer was, "Yes".
"Yes?"
...
At Gu's Family House
Arvin looked at the two women coldly who were having a happy conversation. Suddenly, he stood up and walked away.
"Arvin, where are you going?" Teresa called him to stop at once.
Arvin answered curtly, "The washroom!"
After he left, Nita heard his phone ringing and found the message which came from the Little Girl.
As a lady of reputation, who knew how to achieve her aims in life, Nita clearly knew how to deal with the situation. Nita had some misgivings about touching Arvin's phone, being that it was his own property, and anything on it was concerned with his personal privacy. But when she thought of Angela texting Arvin, her Arvin, those misgivings were replaced by her smoldering jealousy. She couldn't help picking up his phone, and she found that Arvin's phone wallpaper was a photo of Angela.
Nita checked the content of the Little Girl's message.
Teresa was surprised to see what Nita did. She couldn't understand why Nita picked up Arvin's phone. Mobile phones are very personal. This was an invasion of privacy!
Since the screen was locked, Nita could only reply one sentence to Angela.
Therefore, she typed "Yes" and sent it out.
"Nita..." Teresa was unhappy. How dare she do something like this? Teresa thought out of confusion.
Before now, Nita was totally oblivious to what she had done. But now she finally realized its full weight. She texted Angela back through Arvin's phone, pretending to be him, lying for him!
Although she wanted to delete it, she didn't know the password of Arvin's phone.
"Oh, crap!"
"What are you doing?" Suddenly, she heard Arvin's cold voice. Nita was so afraid that she almost dropped his phone.
She managed to calm herself down and tried to smile, "Arvin, I just watched your phone..."
Then, she looked at Teresa for help.
Arvin took big strides and snatched his phone away. He unlocked the phone and checked what she had done.
"It's too late! I'm going to bed! Mum, I'm not going to stay here from tomorrow on!"
Teresa got panicked. "Your grandmother is coming back, you..."
Arvin stopped her, "My grandmother will not be happy if she knows what you have done. You are forcing me to stay with her!"
At the thought of his grandmother, Arvin looked forward to seeing her. He knew she was fond of Angela.
"Arvin, auntie never put any pressure on you, don't get her wrong." Nita acted with a little guilty.
Arvin looked at her face and wondered what on earth she did.
"I don't need your explanation. I totally understand it. It's too late and I want you to leave my home, Miss Nita." Arvin was extremely sick of Nita's demeanor in every facet. So he unceremoniously asked her to leave.
Nita's face turned pale when she heard what Arvin said.
It was getting darker and darker outside. Daisy held Angela in her arms, who was choking with sobs. They didn't go to bed until well past midnight.
Next morning
Arvin received a call from Kent, "Doctor Gu, I've just received words from someone in the research and development department. Angela didn't come for work this morning."
"Why? What's wrong?" Something was wrong. Angela is so crazy about labs that it's impossible for her to quit the job in the research lab.
Kent thought for a moment, and said, "Do you want me to look into it?"
"Absolutely."
After hanging up the phone, his phone rang again. It was Nancy.
'Why is she calling me?' He thought.
