Chapter 391: Understand That Feeling
Xander laughed loudly, seeing Rui’s distressed face as the latter entered his office.
"I heard Kane Li is a handsome YOUNG man, same as Cali’s AGE..." Xander teased putting stress on a few words, not letting his dear friend off that easily. It so happened that Ralph was with him when Rui called and asked for investigating and sending the details about Shane’s family.
"He’s just a kid." Rui grunted while he sat on Xander’s couch. He rested his head on the backrest and closed his eyes. He shouldn’t give much thought to such a petty thing, but that Kane was getting on his nerves.
Xander stood up and joined him on the opposite couch. "Based on your expression, I can tell that your lunch did not go well. I doubt if it’s because of Cali so it’s probably because of Shane’s brother." Xander pointed out with squinted eyes.
Rui sighed and opened his eyes to give Xander a sharp glare. "When are we going to leave? Can you go first and I’ll follow you as soon as Kane has gone back to his country?"
Xander had that crisp laugh and said, "Don’t tell me that Rui Dee is getting alarmed by a mere little boy? Bro, that Kane will not go back to country V unless he finds his sister. He’s the implant here to search wherever Shane is."
Rui thought of that already, but he was not comfortable with Kane staying in Cali’s house like a snoop dog.
"He had already stayed with Cali for so long while Cali did not meet you yet so what’s with this insecurity Rui? I’m sure Cali sees her only as a brother because if not, those two should have been an item already." Xander reiterated. Rui knew that as well, just that he was still feeling uneasy. He trusted Cali, but he did not trust the Kane guy.
He had this cunning aura around him. He was ready to attack anytime for his advantage. He could tell by how Kane delivered his words that he would not retreat without having a fight.
It was too easy for Xander to read what was going on in Rui’s mind.
"I thought you wanna give Cali more time to adjust. Treat it as a test in your relationship and see if what Cali truly feels for you is really that deep." Xander added with a grin.
