"You go ahead, then. I've made plans." I wanted to eat and shop with Cecilia.
"Good job! Your husband is in the hospital and you're still in the mood to dine out with others. Do you even have a conscience?"
I was irritated and did not want to talk to him any longer. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up now."
"I'll give you 20 minutes. If you're not here by then, you’ll bear the consequences." He lowered his voice threateningly.
"I'll bear it, then." I was unfazed as I hung up the phone immediately.
I was already irritated before. Now, I was annoyed. Another phone call came in and I thought it was Theo once again. When I lifted my phone, it was an unknown number.
After a moment of hesitation, I answered the call.
"Wandy, I've missed you." A lazy drawl was heard from the other end of the line.
I shuddered. Tyler Schuman! 1
There was a tingling sensation on my scalp as I tried t o calm myself down. "Anything important?”
He had disappeared after the fight last time. I thought he would leave me alone, but now, it seemed like it was impossible.
"I just miss you." His tone was slightly bratty, but it could still send chills down one's spine. 1
"If you’re bored, go get a girlfriend. Stop using me as your pastime." I was sulky. Theo alone was enough to make me frustrated. Now, there was Tyler Schuman too? Just kill me already.
He chuckled. "I won't date if I can't find anyone as adorable as my sister."
"Lunatic." I was annoyed, and my head was pounding furiously. I did not want to waste any more time with him. I hung up.
As I was about to get in my car, Keith appeared out of nowhere and stood in front of my car door. His face was solemn as he stood upright. "President Lane, President Grant has asked me to escort you to the hospital.”
"When did I say that I was going to visit him and asked him to fetch me over?" I knew now that the consequences Theo had mentioned earlier were to resort to brute force.
Keith was silent, but he was adamant as he stood in front of my car door. He did not allow me to get inside my car.
"How annoying can all of you be? I said I'm not going!
