Meredith.
I wasn’t bothered whether Draven ever got me a phone or not. And I had never felt bad.
"Is this expensive?" I asked Dennis, turning the phone pack to him.
If the servants didn’t have this, it could be that it wasn’t necessary for them to have it, and it was expensive because, if the price was low, then they could have been able to afford it on their own.
"So you can pay me back?" Dennis retorted, a smirk lining his lips.
I blinked. "How did you know?"
I didn’t think he would know the inner thought I had concerning his gift to me. I would be uncomfortable knowing he had handed me something expensive and would either want to return it at the end of the day or pay back with cash, even if I didn’t have the money.
I didn’t have a job after all. Maybe it’s time to get one.
Dennis pointed a comical finger at me. "You look like it. And I am aware you don’t like owing favours. But this is a gift from your friend."
Taking his hand back, he cocked his head to the side and added, "But if you are that desperate to return the favour, impress me on today’s lessons."
I exhaled deeply, nodding in understanding.
Dennis helped me set up my new phone.
I couldn’t understand a handful of things he said, despite showing me on the spot. And I told him it would never stick.
"At least that isn’t what’s important," he said.
Then he took out a mini-card and told me what it was called: a SIM card, before slotting it inside the phone.
I understood it was a small device that would allow me to make and receive calls. He told me it had my number dedicated for me alone.
"Once you give it to anyone, they will be able to dial it on a phone and reach you. Do you understand?"
I held his gaze for three seconds before slowly shaking my head.
"Of course, you wouldn’t," he mumbled to himself.
My gaze darkened. The next moment, I slapped him on the arm.
"Hahahaha... I’m sorry."
Dennis saved his contact number on the phone with the name, BF, before showing me how to reach him.
When he dialled that number, his phone blared with a loud noise.
My jaw dropped. I was wowed.
Then I made him redial his contact and answer the call from his phone.
"We will try this later today," he said, after thinking for a while. "I will call you once it’s time for dinner, and this is how you answer any calls once they come in."
Then he proceeded to show me, before making me practice. He only stopped after I got it right thrice in a row.
"You must think I’m a dummy," I mumbled, concluding based on what had happened. Despite my saying that I’ve understood now, he didn’t listen.
