C18 What Are You Doing at Night?

Lola's phone suddenly rang in her small apartment. She was taking a shower, so she didn't hear the ringtone. However, the phone was right beside Noah. The little guy looked up and saw the caller ID on the screen. The corner of his mouth twitched. It was the devil king.

As expected, his mother was sharp and unique.

"Lola." There seemed to be a hint of emotion in his deep voice.

"Why aren't you talking?" Seeing that she didn't answer for a long time, he thought that she didn't hear him and repeated, "Why aren't you talking?"

"Mom is taking a shower. Is there anything you need?" The child's unique voice made the person on the other end of the phone freeze.

"Why did you pick up the phone?"

"Mom is taking a shower, so it's the same if you need anything."

"About that, I..." For the first time in his life, Brett wanted to show his goodwill to a child, because this child was related to him by blood.

"If you need anything, just wait for her."

"Oh." Although he was the CEO, he was used to all kinds of situations. However, facing his own son who he didn't remember, he felt very flustered and lacked confidence.

"Oh, what? Are you going to settle the score with my mother or do you want her to work overtime at night? Why would you call her at midnight? Are you trying to seduce my mother?"

"I... No."

Brett felt his heart tighten. It seemed that it would be very difficult to recognize his son in the future.

Then, the bathroom door opened and Noah smiled, "Wait, I'll call someone for you."

"Son, whose phone is this? The insurance company? Tell her that we won't buy insurance. I will live a long life." Lola asked as she wiped her hair.

"Mom, can the insurance company call you at this time?"

"Who is it?"

"Devil King He."

Lola didn't need to think about any problems. The first sentence was, "Then tell me that I'm not here or that I'm asleep. Ah … I'm so sleepy. I'm going to sleep."

Brett was looking for her. What kind of crazy idea did he have? It was so cruel. The scene of a man pointing at her and asking her to do something was already appearing in her mind. It was definitely heart-wrenching.

"Mom, it's too late. I said you were taking a shower." Noah waved his phone and handed it over.

"Ah!" She was shocked and rushed over to snatch the phone. She held the phone and looked at Noah in panic. Her face was full of resentment.

Son, son, I was so good to you, but you betrayed me!

Noah smiled and shrugged his shoulders. He shook his head as if he was saying that he had to face it.

Lola was uneasy. She held the phone and slowly calmed herself down. "That … Mr. Hunt, what's the matter? Did I not finish my work today? It's already night time. If I haven't finished my work, then I will do it tomorrow. I'm sleepy tonight." Then, she purposely yawned.

"You're already so sleepy at this hour? Are you a pig?"

"That's right, I am a pig! Boss, you should look at the time. I am as beautiful as a flower, and I need to take care of my appearance. I have worked hard for you during the day, so please let me go at night."

"I didn't ask you to rest."

"Then why did you call me? Did you say goodnight?"

"No."

"What is it? Could it be that you called me at night just because you have too much money?"
