Evelyn paused, recalling the 'Miss Juliet' he was referring to. At that time, she was worried about Beryl taking the heavily intoxicated Marcellus home, fearing that something might go wrong. So, she had left her phone number as a precaution.
"Do you want me to send it to you now?"
"Yeah, thank you."
"No problem," she replied. After a pause, she asked, "Why are you looking for Beryl's number, Kevin?"
Upon hearing this, Kevin sighed helplessly, "It's all because of Marcellus. He must have said something wrong to Lucas again. They had a fight, and he drank heavily yesterday. His stomach condition acted up. It seems no use for me to advise him; it might be better to talk to Beryl."
If either of them was a bit more considerate, there would be no issue.
Evelyn nodded in agreement, "You can tell Marcellus really cares about her. Have a good talk with her; she seems to be very reasonable."
"Okay, let's talk later. Go ahead with your work."
After hanging up, Kevin immediately dialed the number Evelyn had sent him, looking as worried as a concerned father.
At six in the morning, the call rang for a while without an answer. Just when the automated message 'Sorry, the person you are calling is not available now' started, Kevin hung up the phone.
She's probably still sleeping at this time.
Just as he was about to put his phone aside to call later, the phone in his hand suddenly vibrated. It was the same number he had just called.
He promptly answered, "Hello, is that Miss Juliet?"
