When Suny got stuck in a traffic jam on her way back, her phone rang. It was from Robert. She estimated that the traffic jam would last for a long time, so she picked up the phone instead of using Bluetooth, "Hello, Robert."
"Are you home?"
"Not yet. There's a traffic jam."
"What did you say to Charlie today?"
Suny understood what Robert meant. She remembered that at lunch she mentioned that he was single. She said guiltily, "We talked about what happened recently."
"That's all?"
Robert seemed to smile, "Charlie asked me if I'm seeing someone."
Suny started to play dumb. "Charlie said that he wouldn't meddle in between me and Austin, but I needed to get to know other men."
"He's right."
Suny could hear Robert was gloating, so she asked defiantly, "When will you bring a woman back?"
"You'd better worry about yourself."
"When you worry about me, don't forget you're having a trouble too."
"Is that how you talk to Austin?"
"Are you trying to change the subject?"
"I know what I'm doing."
"Me too."
They were not in their puberty, so it was best for others to stay out of their relationship. Robert understood that. However, since he suddenly had a sister, he wanted to protect her. Suny just was much smarter and more independent than he had imagined.
"All right, drive safe. Text me when you are home."
"Okay, bye."
After hanging up the phone, Robert glanced at the photo on the table. He picked up a cigarette and lit it. Was he waiting for Jayme? Seriously? If he saw her again, he would choke her to death.
Okay, now, Suny received a call from Austin. It was already half-past eight. She saw that the traffic jam seemed to have eased a little. Suny answered the phone with a Bluetooth headset, "Hello, it's me."
"Are you on your way back?"
"Yes. There's an accident blocking the road."
"Be careful, baby."
Austin would only call her "baby" when they were having sex. Suny blushed when she heard that. "Okay." She hung up the phone and the road ahead finally began to clear up.
It was already nine o'clock when Suny arrived at the villa. As soon as she came out of the parking lot, she heard M's voice, "Welcome home, Miss Holland. Mr. Johnson is home."
A few days ago, Suny recorded Austin's face into the face recognition system. M was now able to easily identify what he said.
