Chapter 6 Voice Message Replay
I froze for a few seconds, then quickly pressed the voice message to stop it from playing further.
At that moment, the atmosphere in the store suddenly quieted down.
People turned to look at me.
Especially Lu Xuchen, who paused in his frying, and looked at me in disbelief.
Almost everyone present had heard that voice message.
The atmosphere grew awkward.
"I... accidentally played it out loud, s-sorry everyone, please continue eating."
Under everyone's gaze, I stammered an explanation.
The others, seeing no more entertainment, continued their meals.
My best friend poked my arm and asked curiously, "Why do I feel like your Master likes you?"
"No way?"
I denied it instinctively. A few seconds later, hurried footsteps came from behind.
The hand holding my phone was gripped and lifted.
It hurt a bit.
"You... play that voice message again for me."
Lu Xuchen's voice came from behind, trembling.
I turned my head to look.
He seemed panicked, hard to control.
When he looked at me, his gentle face had an indescribable joy.
I didn't understand his enthusiasm.
But I still played the voice message for him.
As soon as that deep, deliberately lowered voice came out.
Lu Xuchen's hand holding mine trembled.
"Boss, when will my Fried Skewers be ready? I'm starving."
"Yeah, and mine!"
A few impatient customers grumbled.
Lu Xuchen turned and said, "Coming right up."
Then he let go of me, glancing at me several times.
His tone became polite, "Do you want anything else? I'll fry it for you. Wait, I have something to tell you later."
"No." I said, "Okay, you go ahead."
After he left, I quickly pulled my best friend and left.
Once outside, my best friend asked confusedly, "Why did you leave? He had something to say to you."
"I felt like it wasn't good news. He suddenly got enthusiastic abnormally. Better to escape first."
When I got home, Master suddenly called me.
As soon as I answered, he said immediately, "Apprentice, why did you leave without waiting for Master?"
I paused for a few seconds.
This voice didn't sound right.
My Master had a super super low bass cannon, but this voice sounded so clear.
"Who are you?"
"I, I am your Master."
"No, Master's voice isn't like this."
"No, that was... "
Without letting him finish, I hung up.
I didn't know who was pranking with Master's phone.
But that voice sounded familiar.
I felt like I had heard it more than once, like today.
