MY LITTLE SUNSHINE

After Zhong Feng returned to Australia the following day, Hu Lei received the call that she had been expecting for a while. She felt both anticipation and fear as she picked her phone.

"What news do you have for me, Vlad?" She asked as soon as she answered.

"Oh, now I am Vlad once again." The Russian laughed.

"Other names come to mind. I can use them if you wish." She said with irritation.

"No, no, I am pleased that we are friends again, Jane darling."

Hu Lei did not correct his address. It was not like he would listen anyway.

"So, what do you have for me?"

"Have you told your husband about your plans? By the way, thank you for the invite to the wedding."

"There has been no wedding yet. Keep wasting my time, and I really won't invite you to the wedding."

"He might kill me if he finds out that I helped you if things go wrong. He is not the man he used to be a few years ago." Vladimir said with a wistful tone as he remembered the conversation he and that man had had.
