Chapter 493: Did a Grim Reaper Visit Your Dream?
Calix decided to follow Xander to the latter’s car before shooting him any questions. Edward and one of Xander’s personal assistants, Mr. Wei followed from behind as they headed to the basement parking lot.
The basement was quiet, save for the occasional low hum of the engines coming from the coming and going vehicles. Two security stood safeguarding the entrance that connected the complex to the parking lot.
The lights above basked on the men’s figures as they walked in silence. Calix eventually saw Xander’s driver, Mr. Gong standing outside his friend’s luxury sedan.
"Good evening, CEO Qin and CEO Xu."
Calix returned the middle-aged man’s greeting. He was familiar with Mr. Gong because the latter worked as Xander’s personal chauffeur for years.
Mr. Gong joined Edward and Mr. Wei waiting outside the car. The former had already heard from the personal assistant that their boss would be having a private talk with Calix in the car.
"Get in," murmured Xander to which he earned a scoff from Calix.
"No need to tell me."
Opening the door, Calix sank into the backseat of Xander’s sleek, black luxury sedan. He closed the door softly behind him as his friend entered from the other side.
Calix leaned against the plush, dark leather of the seat, making himself comfortable. He took in the scent of rich cologne in the air, mingling with a faint trace of something minty.
"Speak now. I don’t have the entire night to wait," Calix parted his lips, letting the words roll out of his tongue, "Unlike you, I have my wife and daughter waiting at home ah."
