"Yeah, Major! You should worry about yourself for now. She even seemed to steal your boyfriend!"
Xiang Wai frowned at that, "Captain Zhai is not my boyfriend."
"Even if he is just an ex, he actually ignored you for another girl. Shouldn't you be mad?"
"Do I look that petty to you?" snorted Xiang Wai and walked away.
Of course, she won't let anyone else see that she was mad at Zhai Yanjun. She wanted to beat him up into a pulp for ignoring her. Not because he ignored her for Raelle but simply because he ignored her presence. She had always hated it when people ignored her. How could she let her ex-boyfriend go who actually knew how much she hated being ignored?
He was simply looking for death!
Yes, she was just that self-centered. And she was quite aware of that as well.
Meanwhile, when Raelle walked out, she found Cloe pacing back and forth outside the door. Seeing Raelle, she rushed up, "Chief!"
"What are you doing here?" asked Raelle.
"We were still on the call when I heard a commotion. When the call disconnected, I tried to figure out what was going on," Cloe gave her the detail of what went down and how she got here.
"Did you ask someone to get me out of here?" asked Raelle.
"How can I let you stay inside?" retorted Cloe. "Besides, you have donated so much money, everyone. It's the least they can do for you in return."
"Why do I feel like you're more offended than me right now?"
"I am!" said Cloe. "I am very offended right now. How can they treat you like a criminal?"
"I barely spent any time here," said Raelle.
"Not acceptable!" was Cloe's response. She took deep breaths and realized something, "Chief, why do I feel like you're actually enjoying this?"
"Well, I wouldn't say I'm enjoying it but..." Raelle looked over in the direction where Xiang Wai came out from and added, "It's really interesting."
"Interesting?" repeated Cloe and scratched her head. She was quite familiar with what kind of taste her boss had. Since she said something was 'interesting' around here, it only meant trouble! And surprisingly, she definitely won't be a part of that trouble.
"Cloe, if someone wrongs me, what happens to that person?"
Cloe didn't even have to think as she replied, "Miss MJ is gonna have someone's head on a platter again?"
"Let's see if she really does that this time around," said Raelle.
"She definitely will," answered Cloe.
"Even if the other person is my elder sister?"
Cloe's eyes widened when she heard that. "You... Chief... What... What the hell?"
Raelle didn't pay attention to her as she said, "As I said, it'd be interesting to see how Yanyan handles this one."
"Saozi!" Raelle turned her head and looked at Zhai Yanjun who came running. "It seems to ask my grandfather for a favor was worth it. You're out. Thank goodness or Xian would kill me!"
"Your maternal grandfather is in politics?" asked Raelle. Zhai Yanjun nodded his head. "You didn't have to ask for a favor. I have my ways to get out."
"That won't do, Saozi! At the end of the day, you're my Saozi. Even if I know you'll be alright on your own, I still have to do what I can," responded Zhai Yanjun.
"Your ex-girlfriend is fierce," commented Raelle.
Zhai Yanjun coughed at her comment, "How did you...?" He shook his head, "Right, Xian said your perception is scary. I should have believed him."
"What are you saying? Chief is scary even as a person," Cloe couldn't help saying from the side. As Raelle turned to look at her, Cloe chuckled at said, "Sorry! I didn't mean it."
"Yes, you did," was all that Raelle said to her. Then she turned to Zhai Yanjun and said, "Thank you for help!"
Zhai Yanjun smiled foolishly as he waved his hands, "Oh, no! Don't say that. I didn't do anything. You didn't even need my help. If anything, my help was like a drop of water in an ocean. Really insignificant."
"We should never devalue a drop of water," said Raelle. "Some people have only that much of offer."
Zhai Yanjun was stunned by her words and suddenly smiled softly at her as he nodded his head. "You're right."
"Wife!"
Raelle paused when she heard that familiar voice and slowly turned around. She kept blinking at Shui Xian who stood there along with Soren. Shui Xian ran over and hugged her tightly, "Thank God, you're okay!"
Soren also stepped up and said, "I really apologize, President Raelle! If I knew we'd get caught up in this mess, I'd have never asked you to come to the clubhouse for the meeting."
Shui Xian glared at Soren, "This is truly all your fault! Because of you, my wife had to suffer!"
Raelle patted Shui Xian's back as she said, "I didn't suffer at all. You can stop assuming things." She looked at Soren and Shui Xian for a minute before saying, "Seeing how you both are here, that means you both also asked for help to get me out of here. I really am popular."
Shui Xian placed his arm around her, "Wifey, did you just realize that you're popular?"
"Not really," answered Raelle.
"How about I take you out on a meal to show how sorry I am?" suggested Soren.
"You better go and spend that time with your kids," retorted Shui Xian.
"Yeah. Don't try to act like a lightbulb," added Zhai Yanjun. "You're clearly not welcomed."
"Neither are you," said Shui Xian.
Zhai Yanjun raised his arms in defense, "I'm pretty self-aware, Xian!"
"Good for you!"
"Since you're okay now, I should get back," said Soren. "Let's reschedule the meeting."
Raelle nodded her head and said goodbye to Soren.
"I should also get back to my job," Zhai Yanjun also spoke up. "Saozi, I'll see you on the weekend!"
Shui Xian shooed him away and tucked Raelle's hair behind her ear as he walked close to her. When he suddenly got the call from Cloe, he was truly taken aback. Even if he knew that Raelle was taken by the Special Forces, he was scared for a moment.
Perhaps, it was the aftereffect of what he just learned last night but for a moment, he was truly very scared.

Cloe didn't even have to think as she replied, "Miss MJ is gonna have someone's head on a platter again?"
