Picking up the phone, I saw that it was Na Jie calling.
Immediately, I remembered the harsh words Wen Xiaoqing had left with, and my heart leaped into my throat.
"Hello, Na Jie?"
"I'm at your massage parlor now, come over."
As expected, Na Jie's icy voice came through the phone, completely devoid of her previous tenderness.
I remained silent for a moment before saying, "Right now? It's really late..."
"You have ten minutes. If you don't show up, don't bother opening your shop tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, I felt a pang in my heart. It looked like Wen Xiaoqing must have gone to Na Jie to complain.
Given that Na Jie had given us the storefront for free, if she wanted to take it back, we wouldn't have a say in the matter.
If that happened, all our efforts over this time would have been in vain, and we'd be back to square one.
With that thought, I took a deep breath, "OK, I'll be right there."
