A Mysterious Man novel Chapter 136

“Michelle, I had resigned. Don’t panic. What happened to HL Group?” Sunny is somewhat puzzled.

“Roger has already rushed over, but everyone in HL Group has a lot on their plates now, so I wonder if you’re safe. After all, I recommend you for HL Group.”

What Michelle says is in disorder, but Sunny feels warmth.

“Michelle, thanks for your concern. I had left HL Group. I didn’t have time to tell you because of the special situation before. I’m fine. You have to take good care of yourself.”

After settling down Michelle, Sunny frowns and looks at Kevin.

“What’s wrong? What happened to HL Group?”

The voice in the phone is clear, so Kevin can hear Michelle shouting in the phone clearly.

“I don’t know what happened, but it is definitely not a good thing.”

“I’ll send someone to investigate it tomorrow. Do you need a few days off from the hospital? There is plenty to do. If I get busy, I can’t take care of you...”

Sunny wants to say that she will be fine alone. However, when she sees that Kevin’s eyes are filled with worry, she thinks that it is better for her to follow his advice.

“I’ll ask the director for leave now. Wait for me for a while.”

Kevin thinks for a moment and says, “I’d better come with you. Anyway, it’s the same wherever I wait.”

Sunny agrees him, so they walk to the director’s office together.

“Director, I am Sunny. I’m in the middle of something at home. Could I take a few days off?”

The director is an old and unmarried woman.

When she hears Sunny say that the latter is in the middle of something, she looks up with glasses and asks, “What’s the matter?”

“My father passed away.”

Sunny has already learned to lie through her teeth. Kevin, who is eavesdropping outside the door, feels interesting and raises his eyebrows.

“Is that so?”

“My mother died when I was very young. My father is the only family I have, so I hope to settle his affairs by myself.”

Sunny says as she remembers her father, who had passed away for a period of time. However, she has not found out the real cause of his death, nor has she revenged for him.

“I see. You can take a few days off until you finish settling his affairs.”

After that, the director straightens her glasses and looks down on her files expressionlessly.

“Thank you, Director.”

Sunny excitedly bows to the director, and then pretends to wipe the tears off her face before running out.

“Good for you.”

Kevin looks at Sunny running out and praises her in a low voice.

“Just a piece of cake.”

“Let’s go. What should we start from?” Sunny asks.

“Come with me to the company. I’ll finish my work and leave it to Hogan.”

However, Sunny is somewhat worried, “If you leave everything to Hogan, what are you doing?”

Kevin leisurely folds his hands behind his head and says, “If I have to do everything by myself, then why should I be the president? Why should I hire a group of staff?”

Sunny also thinks so and she doesn’t think of it anymore.

“Go and get your car. I’ll wait for you.”

Sunny says righteously.

Kevin shrugs his shoulders with hands up and says, “Miss, you should at least go downstairs. What’s your point of stopping on the second floor? Do I need to drive the car up to second floor to pick you up?”

Sunny says stubbornly, “I mean to ask you to stop your car on the first floor, and I’ll slowly walk downstairs.”

Unexpectedly, Kevin is impatient. He directly grabs Sunny’s arm and says, “Cut the crap. Move on.”

When they reach the first floor, Kevin gets a phone call from Hogan.

“Boss, where are you now? A gentleman came to the office and insisted on seeing you.”

Kevin looks at Sunny in surprise, and asks, “Who is he?”

Hogan says, “His last name is Louis. He said that he knew Miss Sunny?”

Kevin finally knows who the man is.

“Tell him to wait for a moment. I will be back soon.”

After Kevin hanging up the phone, Sunny curiously leaned forward to him and ask, “Is someone looking for you?”

Kevin plays the car keys in his hand and says, “A couple is looking for us in the same time.”

Sunny immediately understands, “Hon...”

She almost blurts out “Honey Roger”, but she stops in time when she sees Kevin’s profile.

“Roger?”

And she tactfully changes her word.

Kevin answers, “Yes. I don’t know he is looking for me. Let’s go. Since he is waiting for us, we’ll go and meet him.”

Before Sunny can say no, Kevin drags her away.

“Slow down, I won’t run away.” Sunny says.
