Sidney paused for a moment before answering the call. "Hello?"
"Turn around," came Maria’s lazy voice from the other end of the line.
Sidney followed her instruction and turned his head, spotting a car parked nearby.
Maria was in the driver’s seat, waving at him to come over.
Fawn, noticing his gaze shift, looked in the same direction and asked curiously, "Who’s that?"
Sidney hung up the phone and turned to Fawn.
After a brief pause, he said, "Miss Powell, I might need your help with something. It might be a little awkward, so if you're uncomfortable, you don’t have to."
Fawn blinked her wide eyes, still confused. "What do you need help with? Tell me first."
...
Maria sat in the car, watching as Sidney continued chatting with the girl.
Her brow slowly furrowed.
“What’s going on here? Isn’t that girl his client?” she thought.
What could they be talking about that was taking so long?
Just as Maria was about to lose her patience, Sidney finally made his way over, with Fawn following closely behind, her large, inquisitive eyes locked on Maria.
Maria rolled down the window and looked at Sidney. "Get in the car. I have something to talk to you about."
"What do you need to talk to him about? He’s busy right now," Fawn interrupted before Sidney could respond.
"This is Miss Powell, my client. I’m in the middle of something. If it’s urgent, you should just say it now," Sidney said calmly, glancing at his watch.
Maria smirked, her tone playful. "Are you sure you want me to say it right now?"
Sidney remained calm, nodding. "I’m busy, so make it quick."
With a sly grin, Maria said, "You left your underwear at my place. When do you plan on coming by to pick it up?"
