Crash-landed On An Island With Nine Beauties novel Chapter 175

"Hey, how did it go? Any complications? Should I come there to break some jaws?"

There was a light laugh that came over the speaker.

"What will I do with you, Damien?"

Came the playful voice. Damien's face was peaceful at the voice. It was as though it was a voice he had been wanting to hear.

"You didn't answer my question yet."

Damien went straight to the point again.

"I don't think it's something we should talk about over the phone. I mean, where did you go in the blink of an eye? A moment you were standing beside me, another moment, you were gone. How did you do it?"

YOU DON'T WANT TO KNOW.

And that was the truth. She was fragile. She had a pure heart. Though she was strong and hardworking, yet he knew too well that she wouldn't be able to handle something like that.

"I guess you were engrossed in the moment so you weren't looking. You know when someone are in shock, we miss out on some details. That must have been what happened. It's nothing out of the ordinary."

Even Damien was intrigued by his own ability to play around with words. He didn't think of that before now, it must have come with time. With the moment.

"You are right. That must be it. There's no other explanation."

THERE IS, SWEETHEART.

"That brings me to the major thing. As much as I want to ask how you got my number, I mean it's been forever since we met. The main question is where you got that super huge money from. Damien, are you into money laundry, drugs or something more scary? I mean, I can't wrap my head around it... One trillion dollars. Just like that?"

Damien didn't have anything to say to her yet. He figured that she might still have more than enough to say.

"Do you have an idea what daze you left the manger in? I'm sure you have no idea. He's still in shock. He doesn't believe that someone wants to buy his restaurant which is worth only a hundred and fifty million dollars for one trillion. I mean, it's nuts. Damien, what's happening, I'm about to run mad..."

Damien wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. Hearing her voice came with a very soothing feeling. He wasn't really listening to what she was saying, his mind was bringing back the memories of the past with her.

There was nothing he could do for her that would be too much. Nothing good. Whatever he did for her, it was well deserved.

Unlike those whom he had been good to for no reason, she would be the first person who was worthy of whatever good he could think of.

Also he realised that she wouldn't take no for an answer. She wouldn't be left hanging. She was the type who wants to get to the root of all matter.

"I hope you can get yourself a BSC in a Flight course. You should chase your dream. Find someone you trust who could manager the company for you, then go chase your dream. You deserve everything good you get. It breaks my heart to see you suffer. You know how much I love you."

He advised. He heard shaky breaths over the speaker. Then came sniffles.

"Don't tell you are crying."

He noticed.

"I'm not..."

She bursted out crying loudly. It broke Damien's heart. He wished he could shed a tear or two in tune but his face was a rock. It was relatively impregnable. Not after going through all phases of hell.

He sniffled. He could feel his eyes burning. His eyes wanted to make an effort but the saline liquid had other ideas.

"Let's talk some other times. You would make me cry. But the effort is not paying."

He went plain with her. He heard her chuckle over the speaker.

"You are not going anywhere."

She protested.
