Chapter 575: A murderer’s child (3)
Her first reaction was to want to rush back to Xiehan’s office and tell him about it but she stopped herself at the last moment. Something was not right. Why did he report her movements while outside the car when he could have done it inside? This was a very careful bodyguard from her memory of him and he couldn’t have made such a rookie mistake.
Besides, he could have reported the movements via text. The fact that he spoke about it outside and on a phone call loud enough to be overheard was suspicious. Was it possible that he wanted her to overhear it in the first place? It was a wild assumption but more likely than him making a genuine mistake.
It took a while for her to try and figure out whether he had overlooked the possibility of getting caught despite knowing that she was merely in the building and him tricking her. She couldn’t figure out a single thing that he would gain from making her believe that she had caught him, but that didn’t mean she would simply ignore her gut feeling. She grabbed her phone and made a call to Xiehan, knowing that the bodyguard would hear her.
"Xiehan, I suddenly don’t feel like going back to Lin Media Group on my own. Could you accompany me?"
She closely watched the chauffeur for his reaction. He didn’t have any, which proved that he either knew she was there all along or was good at hiding his reactions.
"Okay." Xiehan answered. She walked to the car but only spoke to the chauffeur.
"You can go home. Xiehan will take me to the company and you can pick me up later." She instructed.
"But ma’am, sir is very busy." He protested.
She forced a smile. "I know. But there is no such thing as a husband being too busy in a pregnant woman’s dictionary. What can I do about that?" She exaggerated, giving a remark that would definitely shut the other party up.
Xiehan hurried down immediately and led her to his car.
"Are you crazy?" He reprimanded her. "You knew something was wrong with him which I guess is why you called me, but you still stood that close to him? What if he kidnapped you?"
