Chapter 219
Seeing Zack's reflection on her car's rearview mirror getting smaller, Katherine finally heaved a sigh of relief and felt relaxed.
Recalling how shameless Zack was earlier, she could not help but vent her irritation out through her thoughts.
‘He really troubled me just to send him off, huh? The nerve of that man!’ But now that she had left him in the middle of nowhere, she then said to herself with a smirk on her face, ‘That's what you get for doing that”
The place where she had left Zack was at least 9 miles away from the city.
It would not be easy for him to contact anyone to pick him up as Katherine took away his phone.
So, if he wanted to go home from this suburb, he had to walk for three to four hours straight.
However, Katherine just thought Zack deserved it as he kept bothering her, and she had to put up with his annoying presence for twenty minutes on their way here.
When Katherine finally reached the city, she decided to stop at a police station to hand Zack's phone over.
It was already eight o'clock in the evening at that time.
So, seeing someone at the station at this hour made the officer stunned.
After regaining his senses, he immediately attended to Katherine and asked, "Good evening, Miss! You have something to report?"
Katherine smiled faintly and shook her head.Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She then took out Zack's phone, handed it over to the officer, and said, "No, I just want to leave this phone here.I happened to pick it up on the road.I just thought this was the right thing to do"
The officer on duty glanced at the mobile phone in Katherine's hand.
In just one glance, he could say that the phone was not a common model.
In fact, he knew it was expensive.
"Oh, is that so? Please come in and register first, the officer said, pointing to the table where she should fill up.
Katherine raised her eyebrows and followed what the officer had said.
It only took her five minutes to finish her purpose in the police station.
Afterward, she already came out and drove to her villa.
Her trip was a bit long as she arrived at her villa at already nine o'clock.
As soon as she got home, she immediately took a bath, did her skincare routine, and finally went to her bed peacefully.
Meanwhile, Sean, who was preparing to go home early to sleep, suddenly received a call at nine-thirty in the evening.
He wondered who that insensitive person was, disturbing him so late that night.
When he checked his phone to see who the caller was, he saw an unfamiliar number.
With that, he immediately turned down the call.
But the caller seemed persistent as it called again right after he had rejected it.
His head immediately heated up as he answered the call to know who the bastard was.
"Who is it?"
Sean asked the caller; irritation could be heard in his voice.
‘Why can't I have a peaceful time?’ he frustratingly thought.
"It's me" the caller simply replied.
Hearing this familiar cold and indifferent tone, Sean immediately changed his expression.
"Zack? Whose number is this?" he asked, confused as to what happened to his friend's old number.
The number Zack had used to contact Sean was unregistered.
If not for his curiosity, he would have hung it up directly.
Zack was not in the mood to answer Sean's question, so he told him his location instead of answering his friend.
"I'm at the 24/7 convenience store now at the New Live Intersection.Hurry and pick me up here"
"How did you get there..."
Sean wanted to ask first, but his friend seemed like he was not in the mood to have a chit chat with him.
As he heard the end call tone, he controlled himself to curse his friend.
He then immediately picked up the pants he had just taken off when he was about to take a shower earlier and put on his shoes to fetch Zack at the latter's current location.
However, the address given by Zack was vague, resulting in Sean spending twenty minutes finding his friend's exact location.
"Why are you here?"
Sean wonderingly asked as soon as he had found his friend.
Zack then twisted the bottle cap of his drinking bottle and drank it before glancing at his friend.
"You're so talkative.
Sean only frowned when his friend diverted their topic to him.
"Did you already forget that I drove all the way here to pick you up in the middle of the night? So, at least tell me why you are here.And where's your phone, by the way? Why did you use someone else's to call me?"
Zack first got into Sean's car before answering the latter.
"Katherine brought me here and took my phone with her."
Trying to comprehend what Zack had said, Sean's mind immediately went haywire.
"Sorry, I don't get it.Katherine brought you here, but why did she leave you here? Why didn't she take you with her? Also, why did you two come here in the middle of the night? Is it because it's bright enough here for you two to enjoy the stars and the moon?"
As he spoke, Sean looked up at the sky and added, "But there are no stars tonight."
"Didn't your teacher tell you that the moon and stars are sparse?" Zack replied as a matter of factly.
Hearing how smart the latter answered him, Sean suddenly felt stupid.
"That's not my point.I mean, what exactly is going on with you guys?"
Zack only looked at him and asked, "Aren't you going to drive or not? If not, then I'll do it,"
Sean's stubbornness only lasted for two seconds, and he surrendered in the end.
He then took the steering wheel and began to drive away.
After about five or six minutes of driving, Sean finally seemed to process what Zack had said earlier.
He then looked around and saw that there was a night stall not far ahead.He drove over there and eventually stepped on the break.
He faced Zack with a smile and asked in shock, "Zack, are you serious? Do you mean, Katherine intentionally brought you here and took your phone with her to let you walk back to your home?"
Zack was stunned as his friend finally grasped his situation.
He later turned his head and looked coldly at Sean, who was now laughing at him.
"It's still early.Do you want to go to the boxing arena?" Zack asked, dead serious.
