Because You Are My Lady novel (Sharon and Stanley) novel Chapter 701

At lunchtime, Ariah tried to give Jimmy another call, but his phone was still turned off.

Slightly worried, she frowned, wondering what was going on with Jimmy and why he didn't update her about his situation.

In the evening, Ariah gave David a call after she got off work. Hearing that Jimmy did not turn his phone on, David seemed surprised. "Ariah, Captain Hudson did ask for a leave yesterday, and he said that was going to take you out on a trip. In fact, he hasn't been working for the past two days."

When Ariah heard that, she was stunned.

Hurriedly, David asked from the other side of the phone, "Ariah, is Captain all right?"

"Yes, he's alright. I'm guessing that he has some personal matters to take care of, and he perhaps he doesn't want to trouble you, so he lied and told you that he went on a trip with me." That was the only possibility that Ariah could think of.

Immediately, David breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay then."

In the end, David even asked her what matter was Jimmy dealing with and whether it was troublesome. Besides, he also asked why Jimmy didn't tell them about it. However, Ariah didn't know how to answer David's questions, so she just casually gave a simple answer.

Fortunately, David didn't continue to pester her.

After Ariah hung up the phone, she hailed a taxi and headed home. However, when she turned her head and looked out of the window, she suddenly thought of something, and her eyes lit up.

Felipe!

Back then, in the hospital, Ariah had saved Felipe's contact number.

Although Jimmy had gone to save Nicole, in order not to implicate David and the rest, Jimmy did not tell them about it.

But he needed manpower, so who would be able to help him?

Other than Felipe, perhaps only Ricco would be the one.

Immediately, she called Ricco and Felipe, respectively. But just like Jimmy, Ricco had also turned his phone off.

However, Felipe's phone was not turned off.

The thing was, he didn't answer her call.

Therefore, Ariah could only call him over and over

again.

When she arrived at her apartment, her phone was almost out of battery, but Felipe still did not pick up his phone.

Angrily, Ariah cursed as she threw her phone aside and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

Fifteen minutes later, she came out of the kitchen with a bowl of instant noodles in her hand, and she heard the phone on the tea table buzzing.

As Ariah's heart skipped a beat, she quickly ran over to pick up the call.

"Hello..."

However, just as Ariah answered the call, she heard two beeps. It turned out that her phone was automatically turned off because it was out of power.

"Ah!"

Hurriedly, she found the charger and charged her phone as she waited impatiently to make the call.

This time, Felipe picked up the call in an instance. "Are you crazy? You called me so many times that my phone battery almost died..."

"Felipe!" Directly, Ariah interrupted him, "Did Jimmy go to find you and Ricco?"

However, he paused for a moment and said, "I don't know."

"What do you mean you don't know?" At that moment, Ariah became annoyed.

"I really don't know. Ricco has not been with me for the past two days. I even thought of asking you whether Jimmy had asked Ricco out."

Then, Ariah fell silent.

As a matter of fact, Felipe had no idea what happened either.

Could she have guessed wrongly?

"I've called you so many times just now. Why didn't you answer my call?" Suddenly, Ariah asked.

"Ahem, I was in the toilet just now, so I didn't hear your call." Embarrassed, Felipe answered.

That answer left Ariah at a loss for words.

"Do you still have anything to ask? If there's nothing else, then I shall hang up and go have my dinner." A moment later, Felipe uttered.

Then, Ariah frowned. For some reason, she somehow felt that Felipe was hiding something.

"Felipe, do you remember the last time we met, you promised me that you would agree to one of my requests no matter what it is?"

In disbelief, Felipe asked, "What do you want?"
