"Yes, I've inquired about her information. She went to work as usual these past few days," answered Kent.

Arvin nodded and instructed, "Investigate Susan Bao's background and also Nita's. I want to know everything about them." He suspected that Nita had instructed Susan to do it.

It was highly possible.

"Okay, Mr. Gu."

"Any news about Adam? Has he done anything suspicious?" asked Arvin. He had to get more information about Adam Geng. Meanwhile, he would like to employ and train Malik Jia as his replacement.

"Adam is very mysterious. I've arranged for someone to keep an eye on him, but I still couldn't find out where he lives," said Kent. He had once made a joke suggesting that they could drink some beer in Adam's house. But Adam smiled and dismissed it.

'Mysterious?' That wasn't a character that an assistant should have. Arvin said, "Arrange for more people to investigate him."

"Yes, Mr. Gu."

The next noon, after they had finished their lunch, Arvin and Angela left the resort.

Because of the accident last night, Angela had to throw away everything in her locker and buy some new ones, so Arvin took her to a shopping mall.

When they arrived, Angela saw a beverage shop on the roadside and got out of the car first. Arvin then drove the car to the parking lot himself.

Moments later, Angela came out of the shop, holding a cup of Tie guanyin* Tea Mousse in her hand. When she saw Arvin, she had a mouthful of it and placed it in front of Arvin's lips.

(*TN: Tie guanyin, a sort of Chinese oolong tea)

Arvin wrapped his arms around her waist, lowered his head, and took a sip through the same straw.

Angela was amused, so she teased him, "Mr. Gu, the great doctor, aren't you a germaphobe?"

"It depends."

Angela was not satisfied with his reaction, so while pinching his cheek, she teased some more, "Now, give me a smile! How can you put on a serious face while you say something sweet?"

Arvin tittered. He gripped her hand and threatened, "Stop pinching my face, or I'll punish you!"

"Punish me? How?" asked Angela.

Arvin then whispered in her ear, "For example, at night, in bed, I'll..."

Angela immediately blushed. She slapped his arms in protest and said, "How can you be so shameless?"

Wearing an innocent look, Arvin raised his eyebrows and asked, "What did I do? How am I shameless? I meant that I want to help you massage your aching waist. What's shameless about that?"

Angela said, "It wasn't what you meant just now!"

"Then, you tell me. What exactly did you think I meant?"

Angela's face flushed red for a while, and she couldn't utter a single word. Seeing her expression, Arvin couldn't bear his laughter.

After they went into the shopping mall, Arvin stopped kidding around.

In an inconspicuous minivan on the roadside were two women sitting side by side.copy right hot novel pub
