The anxious Sasha started pacing back and forth in the room. She asked, “Lennie, are you sure he’s going to be fine on his own? Will anything bad happen to him?”
Lance, who was lying on the couch, furrowed his brows when he heard Sasha’s question. His abysmal pair of eyes flickered as he answered her query in a sarcastic manner, “If you’re worried about him, why don’t you hail a cab and go after him? I’m pretty sure you’ll make it in time if you depart immediately.”
Alright, what the heck is wrong with him? Why won’t he stop picking on me?
Instead of starting a fight, she got herself something to eat to make the most out of her limited time.
“Lennie, grab something to eat! I’m sure you’re starving after such a long flight!”
“Thanks, but no thanks.”
Lance, who was seated on the couch, had his eyes glued to his phone with a frown as though he was occupied with something important.
Sasha wondered if he was in the middle of another game. In the end, she placed his favorite sandwich and a cup of milk in front of him.
In order to get herself ready for the appointment with her client, she headed into the bathroom to take a shower.
Buzz! Buzz!
All of a sudden, the phone she left behind started ringing.
Lance looked up and finally strode over after a few seconds since the caller showed no signs of giving up.
“Hello?”
The moment he picked up the phone, Solomon asked, “Lance? Where’s Sasha?”
Lance looked in the direction of the bathroom and queried with a serious look, “What do you want from her?”
“Can you get your cousin over at once? I need her to—”
Solomon couldn’t even finish his sentence as Lance brought the conversation to an abrupt halt by hanging up the call.
What the heck? Did he just hang up my call? What on earth is wrong with him? Is he out of his mind?
I’ll let it slide if it’s something trivial, but I’m in the middle of something serious that requires Sasha’s attention!
On the other hand, Sasha, who had just made her way out of the bathroom, noticed that someone had accessed her phone without her consent.
She looked at Lance and asked, “Did anyone call me?”
Lance had no intention to keep Sasha in the dark, so he answered with a deadpan look, “There was a call from Solomon.”
Solomon?
Sasha, who had put on a bathrobe, continued drying her hair and asked, “Has he mentioned anything? Is everything fine on his end?”
Initially, Lance had his eyes glued to his phone, but when he caught a whiff of Sasha’s unique scent, he instinctively raised his head and looked in her direction.
