Vermont stared at his phone blankly, belatedly realizing that hanging up so abruptly might have been a little inappropriate.
But he could not believe how the woman on the other end of the phone twisted his words and said that he had a baby with Felicity.
Considering what she said and the fact that he ended the call so abruptly did make him look like a scumbag who did not want to take responsibility after getting someone pregnant.
He paced back and forth anxiously, trying to organize his thoughts and figure out how to explain himself when he called back later.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea popped into his head. ‘Isn’t miss bandit the best witness to prove my innocence?’ So, he immediately came out of the bathroom and walked to Felicity’s door, asking, “Miss bandit, are you in there?”
A bell rang from inside the room, and Felicity answered, “Yeah, why?”
“Can you open the door? I need to talk to you,” Vermont said as he initiated a video call with Florence.
He thought to himself, Tm sure that Mrs. Thompson will forgive me if Felicity puts in some good words for me.’ So, with his back to Felicity’s door, he raised his phone high and struck a selfie pose, intending to have both Felicity and him in the frame.
With his pose ready, he continued calling out to Felicity from outside her room, Miss bandit, come out now.”
Felicity sounded a little impatient. “Stop rushing me. I’ll be right out!”
Vermont could not wait any longer as he urged, “Just come out for a second. I just need to talk to you for a moment, then you can go back in.”
“Okay, okay.”
Felicity pulled up the neckline of her costume in front of the mirror and cursed inwardly, ‘Damn, which genius designed this? Pulling it up exposes my waist, and pulling it down exposes my chest. The pants are so short, and there’s even a long tail hanging at the back.
