Jax's expression must have given away his unease because Ruan's grin faltered quickly. "I was joking, of course," he said and chuckled again. "I am heading into the bathroom to take my bath." He cleared his throat and walked straight to the white door opposite the bed.
Once he was away and Jax was alone, he walked toward the compact desk and sat down on the chair. He placed the bag on the table and brought out the phone and a sleek silver laptop. As he delved deeper into the bag, he discovered a black credit card. He unboxed the phone, turned it on, and waited for it to boot. Then he saw a message pop up in the notification box, clicked on it, and found a single message.
"Call me."
The message was from a number saved as Lucas, and he didn't hesitate as he dialed the number. The phone rang for a moment before a harsh tone sounded from the speaker. "It took you long enough to call me," a deep, gravelly voice sounded.
"Hello, sir, I apologize…"
