The missed calls and several messages were from the same person – Leo's agent, Collins.
Mirabella tapped open Messenger.
Collins: [Mirabella, the schedule for the sports brand commercial shoot is set.]
Collins: [It's tomorrow.]
Collins: [Tomorrow at 10 AM. Can you get the day off? If it’s too much hassle, I can swing by your school and sort it out for you.]
Collins: [You there?]
Mirabella checked the time stamps. The last message was sent half an hour after the previous ones. She pondered for a moment. Taking a day off shouldn't be a problem, so she replied directly via Messenger. [Had my phone on silent, didn't notice. Tomorrow should be fine.]
No sooner had she hit send than a little red exclamation mark popped up in the chat box, with a line of text underneath. [Message sent, but rejected by the recipient.]
Mirabella: [?]
Still, that red exclamation mark showed up.
Holding her phone, Mirabella was a bit stunned. She looked up, incredulous, and waved her phone in front of James. "Can you make heads or tails of this for me?" Was it what she thought it was? Had she been blocked?
James glanced at Mirabella before his eyes settled on her phone screen, only to see the failed message prompt. His gaze then shifted to the nickname at the top, [Collins].
