Annie coughed slightly, then said with an awkward, "Boss...he...several days ago, in the dead of the night, he sat on the deck..."
"He sat on the deck to do what? Can you just say it in one go? You're making me anxious!" Jennie was about to break down.
"He sat on the deck for the whole night and wrote a love letter!" Annie blurted out. She did not even need to imagine that on the other end of the phone, the girl's face must be blushing red right at that moment...
Jennie was annoyed, "I thought you were going to tell me something really outrageous, but that's it? Why did you have to stutter forever?"
Annie mumbled, "Je, big boss's love letter was written for you, wasn't it?"
"Mmm..." Now it was Jennie's turn to hesitate.
Annie carefully chose her words as she found it difficult to go on, "Big boss's writing skills are really...in need of some working on...the deck was filled with crumpled up paper from a whole night of writing. Some of the other bros saw that and could not help but to help suggest to him what to write. They all ended up getting beaten up by him. The boss insisted on writing it himself..."
He had actually spent a whole night writing those few sentences...
Jennie buried her face in her hands, "Haha, I hope that he will use this perseverance to work on other aspects..." Such as not messing with her anymore...
Jennie paused, then continued to ask, "Apart from this, were there any other unusual habits?"
"Nothing, Je!" Annie answered confidently, then deliberated for a moment and added on, "Actually, come to think of our recent movements, it has been a little unusual!"
"What's unusual about it?" Jennie immediately asked.
"For example, our movements in your country seems to be increasing...also, Big Bro wanted to return to the country several days ago, but because a very important cargo suddenly had issues, he has been spending the past few days dealing with it!"
"Is that so?" Jennie frowned. Increasing activity here? I wonder if this is related to Lisa...
Jennie then nodded, "Okay, let's just leave it at that first. If there are any more oddities, remember to report to me immediately!"
Annie sounded unwilling, "Uhh, Je, this wouldn't be too good right? I don't want to be a mole!"
Jennie's lips curved into a smile as she reminded, "Annie please, you only care about your big boss now, so Je is no more, huh? Who saved you once upon a time?"
Annie became anxious, "Je, of course I didn't forget. It was you who saved me!"
Jennie nodded, satisfied, and she said, "Good! So, you're not a mole! You're an undercover spy! Understand?"
Annie replied, "Oh...understood..."
"Mmm, good, okay, I'm hanging up now!"
"Hold on, Je..."
"What is it?"
"Je, is there really no way for you to ever return again?" Annie said as she took on a melancholic tone.
Jenniw listened to the sound of the ocean from the other end and slowly closed her eyes. She mumbled, "When someone has been in the dark for too long, it's inevitable that one will be drawn towards the light. The days in my past have indeed been very carefree, yet my heart was like a plant with no roots...I couldn't find meaning for my existence...even though the days now are hard and restrictive, I'm enjoying this challenge, enjoying this feeling of having a goal...do you understand?"
"Je, are you serious? Or are you just pretending to be cool?" the other end of the phone replied with Annie's uncertain tone.
Jennie didn't say anything.
Fine, it was her fault, she should not have messed with the naive little girl. Now she has really dug herself into a pit...
