At ten-thirty that night, Jack still hadn't heard anything from Lucian, and he was starting to feel frustrated. Did they really develop the antidote?
At that moment, Jack's mind was filled with doubts.
While he was starting to feel upset, his phone that was on the table rang.
Jack froze momentarily and turned to see the caller ID on his phone.
When he saw that it was Lucian calling him, his expression softened, and he sneered, “Well, some things are inevitable.”
He ignored his ringing phone and walked around the office with his hands behind his back. In the end, he stopped and stood still in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Jack was on cloud nine as he overlooked the view of Horington and listened to the phone ring.
“Mr. Damaris, are you not answering Mr. Farwell's call?” Kevin asked puzzledly. Mr. Damaris has been waiting for that phone call the entire night. Why is he not answering the phone at once now that Mr. Farwell is calling him?
Jack turned around unhappily and glared at Kevin. “Are you stupid? He's only calling now because he's at his wits' end. So what if I want him to feel desperate for a while longer?”
Jack wanted Lucian to feel hopeless and miserable because Lucian had tricked him.
When the phone stopped ringing, Kevin looked at Jack's expression cautiously.
There, he saw Jack looking slightly tense.
Evidently, Jack wasn't sure if Lucian would call him again.
