Chapter 851 Blocked Her
Gilbert’s face abruptly changed when seeing the person coming in. He quickly ended the call with his fingers.
Madalyn came over with chicken gnocchi soup. She looked at his cell phone suspiciously, “Who did you call just now?”
“No one.” Gilbert took the chicken gnocchi soup and said, “Grandma, why didn’t you knock on the door before you came in?”
Madalyn frowned, “Why? Do you have something to hide from me? You didn’t say anything when I came casually into your room before. Why are you fussing about it now?”
Madalyn turned her attention to his mobile phone again as she said, “Tell me. Who are you calling just now? Why are you afraid I’ll hear it?”
“Grandma, don’t be suspicious all the time. I was just on the phone with an unknown client.”
Madalyn obviously did not believe it.
Suddenly, a call rang at this moment.
Madalyn hurried over to see. She saw the words ‘Unknown Client‘ appear on the screen. Madalyn pursed her lips in embarrassment and looked at him, “I’m not suspicious either. Answer the phone quickly. Don’t delay your business.”
Unexpectedly, Gilbert did not answer the phone at all but hung up the call directly.
Madalyn was stunned, “Gilbert, what are you doing? Isn’t this your client?”
“It’s just an unknown, small–scale client. Why should I bother? He is probably bothering me again because the cooperation has not been concluded.”
Madalyn believed him. She nodded and said, “You’re right. Such small clients are really annoying. Block him later.” Gilbert took his phone and blocked that person as soon as Madalyn finished.
In fact, he was afraid that the woman would call again. It would be miserable if Madalyn could not help but pick it up when the call kept coming in. So it was safer to block the number.
