Chapter 109: HAILEE'S PLAN AND LEXUS' REPORT

"Do you know any journalist who is working for a gossip magazine? I have a super juicy headline that I want to publish," Hailee asked Ian when the man was done grumbling because Hailee didn't call him soon.

"After all this time you didn't tell me what happened between you and Ramon, but you called me to ask about a journalist for a gossip magazine?" Ian's voice still sounded annoyed.

Not only did Hailee just tell him that she was still alive and would soon marry Ramon Tordoff next week, but also Hailee had just interfered his sleeping time.

Understandably, when the sun was just rising, it was Ian time to sleep after his work every night.

Hailee did tell him that she was going to marry Ramon, but she didn't give the exact date and Ian found out about this from the news on television.

Therefore, it was quite annoyed the man to know that he was the one who didn't hear any news about it, though he was close with her.

"What do you want to do? What news do you want to publish?" Ian asked suspiciously. He knew Hailee well enough to say that this girl had some absurd plan in mind.

If only Hailee wasn't from the Tatum family and she wasn't engaged to Theodore at the time, which made her hold back a little, then nothing would be able to curb her 'naughtiness'.

Even though this girl looks cute and innocent from the outside, but when her 'bad side' appears, she can even embarrass the devil with her crazy ideas.

Even now, Ian still found it difficult to follow Hailee's sometimes unreasonable and shocking way of thinking.

"Answer my question first," Hailee said as she ate the fruit that had been cut by one of the servants at the Tordoff house.

"Wait a minute," Ian muttered as he tried to remember of the many acquaintances he knew, whether any of them was a journalist. "I think there is ... but, he is not a journalist for a gossip magazine."

Hailee frowned and asked, "Then?"

"Business magazine," Ian told him. "More specifically, his line of work involves diamonds and precious stones. I think your family might know this man."

Since Hailee's family is in the same field, Ian thought Hailee must have heard his name.

"Who?"

"Ben. Ben Kingston." Ian remembered his name because he had recently met him.

Hailee tilted her head, she did hear the name, but didn't really know Ben Kingston personally.

However, this seemed much better. "Okay, can you connect me with this Ben?"

"Wait a minute Hailee… what are you going to do? You won't do anything stupid, right?" Ian felt worried, now he got up from the hospital sofa, the place where he was waiting for his younger sister. By the time he got in, his younger sister was sleeping, thus he also chose to sleep on the sofa in the room until Hailee woke him up.

"Trust me, there is nothing stupid about what I am going to do." Hailee reassured Ian, but a wicked smile was etched on her lips.

"I couldn't trust you when you say something so assuredly," Ian said, squinting his eyes as if Hailee was in front of him.

"By the way, how do you know this Ben Kingston?" Hailee tried to distract Ian and change the subject.

"He is a visitor to the arena, he is a gambler." Ian explained briefly, because Hailee didn't need to know the details. "And don't change the subject Hailee, you can't do this to me."

Hailee laughed at that. Ian, when curious, was very difficult to divert, therefore, she had no other choice but to answer honestly about her plans. "Alright ... alright ... so, this is ..."

And after that, Hailee spent the next hour talking to Ian.

After their chat was over, Hailee immediately went up to her room and changed into lounge wear which were much more comfortable.

Meanwhile, her cell phone beeped, indicating an incoming message. It must be Ian, sending Ben Kingston's number to her.

However, before Hailee could call the reporter, she first had to call someone else.

In one smooth motion, Hailee laid on her stomach on her bed and picked up her cell phone to call Lexus.

While waiting for the man to pick up the phone, a smile slowly crept on to Hailee's lips. She couldn't wait to hear his future brother- in- law's comments.

"Hello?" Lexus said hello. "You are not calling the wrong number, right? Why did you call me?"

Hailee laughed at Lexus's comments. "Of course not. I miss you, we haven't seen each other for a few days."

Lexus rolled his eyes dramatically at that statement. "If you miss me, cook me something."

"I have news that is much better than food," Hailee said in a mysterious tone and turned around. "It is about Ramon."

Hearing that, Lexus's eyes lit up, the gossip side inside him started to tingle and he listened intently to what Hailee had to say. "What? What?"

"Have you met Ramon this afternoon?" Hailee asked, making sure Lexus didn't know about the lipstick stain on his brother's collar.

"Not yet," Lexus said, shaking his head and growing more curious because this involved his brother. "I am planning to go to his room after I finish a document he asked for. What is wrong?"

Then Hailee revealed about the lipstick stain and the reason why she did it.

"He really embarrassed me at breakfast, you know…" Hailee muttered, listening to Lexus laughing out loud.

"My brother actually said that?" he asked between his laughter. "I can't believe he said something like that."

"So far, what kind of a person is Ramon?" Hailee asked carefully, not wanting to make Lexus suspicious. She really wanted to know what the real Ramon was like, because every time she was with him, Ramon repeatedly shattered her expectations about the image of a successful young businessman with a cold personality.

Who would have thought that Ramon had an affair with Giana Smith?

Therefore, Hailee wanted to know more about Ramon. If Giana had the courage to come to Ramon's office and confront him, then it was very likely that she would do the same in the future and Hailee didn't want anyone else to interfere with her domestic life.

Maybe it is time for Hailee to pay extra attention to this matter.

"To be sure, Ramon is not the one to utter such words," Lexus said and began to mumble. "I should have been there and heard firsthand how my brother was defending you."

Hailee couldn't help but smile. Even though she was a little annoyed and embarrassed earlier, but when she thought about it again, it felt cute when Ramon did that for her.

"If he is like that to you, then he thinks you are special," Lexus said, which made Hailee's smile even wider.

Afterward, they had some small talk, mostly Lexus who asked about what strange behavior his brother had been with Hailee at the Tatum residence.

Of course, Hailee only said things they could talk about and didn't bring up overly sensitive issues.

They gossiped for a few minutes, until Hailee ended the call because she remembered that she still had to call Ben Kingston.

"Don't worry, I will report what happened at the office later," Lexus promised. "This is definitely going to be fun, it has been a while since something nice happened at the office." He giggled in amusement, imagining how Ramon's expression would look like when he found out what his future wife had done.

After that, the line went dead and Hailee proceeded to call Ben Kingston.

==============

After hanging up the call, Lexus quickly finished his work and rushed to get to Ramon's study.

He just walked in without knocking on the door first and made his brother lift his head from behind the laptop in front of him.

"This is what you asked for," Lexus said cheerfully and then sat across from Ramon leaning forward to catch a glimpse of the lipstick stain Hailee had left.

Hailee said that she kissed Ramon's right side of the collar, so it should be still noticeable.

But, after paying close attention, Lexus frowned, because he didn't see what he was looking for.

"What are you doing?" Ramon, who realized that Lexus was staring at him intently, stopped his activities and looked at his younger brother with a frown. "If you are done, you can go."

"Ah… that…" Lexus made excuses to stay there a little longer and continued looking at Ramon, it was just that, his brother asked a question that he didn't expect and Lexus reflexively answered it.

"You are here to check the lipstick stain on my collar?" asked Ramon suddenly.

"Yes," Lexus replied instinctively, but then he raised his hand and shook his head violently. "No, no, for what?" he asked frantically, as he realized that he had exposed his main purpose.

On the other hand, Ramon squinted at the sight of Lexus's obvious reaction. "You can tell Hailee to stop playing tricks like this. If she wants to repay me, do well."

Ramon had noticed the lipstick stain right after Hailee kissed the collar of his shirt, only he didn't say anything and let the girl think that she could get her revenge like this.

Therefore, the first thing Ramon did when he got to his office was to replace the white shirt with a new one.

Ramon always had several sets of clothes in the spare room in his office, to anticipate things like this.

And the lipstick stained clothes were now hanging nicely in the closet in his private room.

On the other hand, hearing that, the corner of Lexus' mouth twitched. This couple is really weird...

"So, what are you waiting for?" Ramon raised his eyebrows at Lexus. "Are you so free that you need additional work?"

"You always threaten me like that!" Lexus grumbled, but then he stood up and stepped out of Ramon's study.

Lexus then immediately called Hailee as soon as he closed the door behind him and the girl picked up the phone on the third ring.

"Your mission failed, Ramon knows and now he's changed his clothes." Lexus reported his findings to Hailee and could hear sighs and grunts from the other side of the line.

But, before he could say anything else, suddenly the door behind him opened and the figure of Ramon appeared from it.

"You startled me!" Lexus almost cursed in front of Ramon. It could be so bad if those swear words left his lips.

But, without saying anything, Ramon just took the cellphonefrom Lexus, as if he knew who he was calling, and coolly said in a deep voice.

"I will pick you up at seven."
