Inside the hospital room…
Cynthia was still seated beside her friend and shortly, a phone rang. She looked around the room only to discover it was her phone ringing as she ignored it. The phone rang continuously but that didn't bother her. It was a call she picked up a few hours ago that kept her friend in such a situation so she thought that picking up the call now would cause another chaos.
The caller on the other hand didn't give up anytime soon. The phone kept ringing and Cynthia had no other option but to see who the caller was.
She stood from her seated position as she took a few steps forward towards the sofa where she had left her bag earlier. She took the bag and brought out her phone but she was too late to get to the phone because the call had already ended before she got there. She saw 6 missed calls and when she checked, she realized it was her boss calling her as she decided to call him back.
The moment she dialled his number, so many things ran through her head. She knew she would receive another Punishment from him because she had no intention of going to work the next day. Her friend Sophia needed her and she wouldn't mind if her boss would punish her or not. She knew his punishment for her this time around would be severe painful but that didn't bother her. It was a problem for another day. Right now, her friend is her priority.
Still holding her phone in her hands, she continued to call her boss but it was unfortunate he wasn't picking up. After he had missed her call four times, she got tired of calling him as she decided to drop her phone on the bed but it was unfortunate that the moment she dropped the phone on the bed, her phone rang and when she looked on the phone screen, she saw it was her boss calling again. She let out a heavy sigh of fear, her heart started to pant heavily that she heard the sound of her heart, beating so fast. She was damn scared!
Meanwhile, the policeman kept watching Cynthia and Sophia through the CCTV camera while the man on a black outfit didn't give up yet. He kept calling Cynthia and was getting impatient for her to pick the call. His eyes blazed with anger. He gritted his teeth and squeezed his left arm as if he was getting ready to throw a punch at someone as he continued calling Cynthia's number.
Back inside the hospital room…
Cynthia decided to pick the call.
With or without explaining, she knew that man has no simpathy at all. Explaining to him doesn't really matter but she needed to.
On the phone…
"Good evening sir. I'm sorry that I didn't pick the call earlier. I wasn't in a better situation to pick it up. I'm really sorry sir." She apologized and waited a bit but because she didn't hear any response from the caller, she decided to continue her statement.
"Sir please, I…." She struggled to speak. She knew she was about to touch the tail of a lion but she had to.
