Chapter 846: Get Your Major General On The Phone (part two)

An empty laugh came out of his chest. He really had no idea how it felt to marry a rich woman who was financially independent. Did he appear as he married her to step up the social ladder? He was lucky that his original family was financially well then.

It took Lee more than one hour to arrive at Kevin's apartment. He rang the bell to inform Kevin of his arrival. He was undeniably shocked at the sight of his Major General when the door opened though. Their heroic team head was wearing an apron while holding a kitchen knife in his hand. He never saw such things happened in his Army house, thus he suddenly asked himself if it was already the end of the world! What was wrong with his Major General?

"Stop being idle. Come in. The dishes will be ready soon. Help me clean the house after you eat." Kevin walked quickly to the kitchen as soon as he let Lee in and finished his words. He did not have time to care about Lee's astonished expression. The dish on the stove was about to be over-cooked!

It was the first time for Lee to step into this house after Kevin got married. He was afraid that he might meet the hostess, so he was a little over-cautious as he looked around. He had never talked to Leena and had merely seen her from a long distance once.

What are you waiting for? Go and get the bowls." He was still stagnant as Kevin took what he cooked from the stove. A slight frown formed on Kevin's face as he saw Lee was still in shock and did nothing.

Major General, is your wife not home?" Lee finally found the strength to move and follow Kevin around the kitchen.

"No. She's in Paris. She has a dissertation to deal with. I wouldn't have called you here if she were home," Kevin replied. He did not need to take care of everything at home when Leena was around. She would usually arrange everything for their house on set. It was something he never got to think of until she was not home. Now he realized that it was not an easy job to run a family. It needed the devotion to make a home.

"Major General, is your wife still a student?"

Lee asked curiously. The idea that Leena wasn't home made him comfortable. It was not that he was afraid of Leena, it was just that he did not know how to get along with women from rich families. After all, he had the stereotype that most of them were quite arrogant and they would look down upon other people. He worried that he might offend her without even realizing it. He did not want to get too close to them.

Yes. But she will graduate soon. You go and put the rice into the bowls. There is one more soup I'm cooking. We can start the meal as soon as it's done." Just like Daisy, Kevin was kind to his bodyguard. He never suppressed his men or looked down on them.

Ok. Maybe I can cook the soup!" Lee usually cooked for Kevin whenever they were in the Army Base, thus, he knew his food preference very much.

No need. It'll be done soon. Don't feel stressed and nervous here. Just be yourself. There's no difference between here and the army base." Kevin bought many vegetables earlier and stacked them in the fridge. He started cooking right after he was done cleaning their room. He had estimated the time that Lee would take to drive from the Army Base to his home. He knew beforehand that he would reach there around lunchtime.

"Yes, I see." Lee never really felt nervous around Kevin. The only reason why he hesitated was that he thought Leena was there. He got no clue how to act around her if ever.

There were not many dishes at lunch but they were enough for two male soldiers. Nevertheless, their meal tasted a whole lot better compared to their usual lunch in the Army.

Kevin was not good at cleaning the house but Lee was an expert on it. He even made it look like it was just a piece of cake. Right after lunch, Lee started his work immediately as Kevin went out of the house to deal with some quick businesses. Kevin wasn't even aware that he forgot his phone. Lee was busy cleaning when the phone on the desk suddenly rang. He quickly picked the phone up at the thought that call might be an emergency. He didn't even care to check the number. That was how he did his work. It was part of his duty to answer his Major General's phone whenever he wasn't around back in the Army Base.

Hello! This is Major General Kevin Gu's number. Who's that speaking, please?" He answered his boss' phone while holding a mop on his other hand.

"This is Louisa Ye. Get your major general on the phone." The way Lee addressed Kevin as Major General made Louisa understand that she was talking to his subordinate. Thus, she talked impatiently and never intended to show any politeness. She always had a condescending manner over regular soldiers. She was the Commander's daughter after all.

Sorry Ma'am, but Major General is not here now. Do you have anything urgent? Can I take a message for you? Or you can call later." Head tilted to one side, Lee answered in a polite manner. Louisa Ye… this caller's name did somehow ring a bell but he couldn't recall where he had heard it. He furrowed his brows.

Stop it! Just hand the phone to him. I don't trust your words. Don't try to fool me." Louisa did not believe that Kevin was not there. She called his private phone and thought that he would bring it with him no matter where he went.

Miss, I am telling the truth. Major General went out and forgot to take his phone. I really don't know where he is now." Lee kept patient and explained to her. He should be polite because he did not know who she was after all. The fact that she called his major general's private phone made him think that she probably was his family or friend. Being rude would not be the best route for him if that was the case.

"Let me tell you this, I am your Commander's daughter. There will be consequences if you dare to lie to me." In order to get what she wanted, Louisa even mentioned her father to threaten Lee. Her beautiful face was distorted with a deep grimace.

What? You are the daughter of the Commander?" Lee screamed in surprise as he secretly complained about her not being just a simple woman. No wonder that her name sounded familiar. But Major General was really not here. Where could he find him in such a short time?

Yes, I am. So give the phone to him now. I need to speak to him." Louisa sneered complacently. She always felt superior whenever she spoke with any soldiers. She was in the first place, their boss' daughter.

Miss Ye, Major General is really not here. I swear! What about this? I will tell him you have called once he's back and asks him to call you back." Lee became more respectful after hearing Louisa confirmed who she was, but her arrogant tone made him least comfortable.
