"So I''m not someone?" asked Chester sarcastically.
"Okay, okay. Stop teasing me. I have to keep my attention on Anya to see if she''s up to no good again!" said Francine shyly.
"Sure," said Chester. After that, he quietly observed Anya with Francine.
What they saw was Anya talking seriously-sometimes gritting her teeth-to the man opposite her as though they were deep in an important conversation.Please check at N/?vel(D)rama.Org.
The man opposite her looked to be in his early forties. He would nod and bow to Anya from time to time. It was obvious he was working for her.
After 15 minutes or so, the man got up and left, leaving Anya alone in the coffee house sipping her coffee in a daze and lost in thought. Not long after that, she left too.
Francine wanted to follow Anya after she came out of the coffee house, but Chester stopped her.
"She''s going to find out we''ve been spying on her if we tail her now," he said.
"I just want to see whether she''s going home or meeting up with someone else," replied Francine worriedly.
As a third party, Chester was able to remain level-headed.
"Since she''s already out of jail, it''ll be easy for your family to get someone to look into her. You''re only going to expose yourself if you follow her now, and it''ll be harder to know what she''s getting up to."
After thinking about it, Francine thought Chester was right. It would indeed be easier for her to expose herself in broad daylight. What if her impulsiveness cost them the whole operation?
Thus, she called Xante instead to ask her to look into when Anya was released and what she had been up to so far.
Xante was also shocked to hear Anya had been released from prison. Since the matter concerned Corinne, she immediately agreed to look into it.
Francine still did not feel any better after hanging up the phone. All sorts of thoughts raced through her mind at what could happen.
Chester stroked her head gently. "There, there. You''ve done all you could. Now, we just have to wait patiently for the news."
Francine snapped out of her thoughts and looked up at her ever-gentle boyfriend. "Sorry, Chester. The movie probably started by now."
Chester smiled kindly. "It''s okay. I don''t have to watch the start of the movie to know the ending. Let''s go. We should be able to catch the second half of the movie if we go now." Francine nodded guiltily. "Okay. Don''t worry, Chester. We''ll watch the second half of the movie today. Next time, I''ll treat you to another round to watch the first half."
Chester was amused by her. "Sure. I look forward to that."
The two of them chatted all the way to the cinema.
Meanwhile, in Newmoon Group''s building.
Xante became restless after getting the call from Francine. Like her, she was worried that Anya would cause trouble for Corinne again, exacerbating her already tricky situation. Just right after Xante had instructed her subordinate to look into Anya, Sunny pushed open the door to her office and swaggered in.
"Hey, Xante!"
