He finally cracked a smile, albeit a cold one.
It had been almost two weeks since he had heard from her.
This woman finally called him.
Since leaving for Ivebridge, she hadnât texted or called.
She had become so bold.
If he hadnât sent someone to keep an eye on her, he would have thought sheâd run away.
Theodore pushed the phone away from him.
âMr.

Theodore snorted, âItâs too late for her to call me now.

The phone continued to vibrate across the desk.
âYou didnât contact Ms.
Edwards either,â Horace murmured, noncommittally.
Theodore shot Horace a warning glare, and Horace shut his mouth.
The phone stopped vibrating and Horace continued with his report.

His impatience was obvious.

Although his expression didnât change, it was obvious he was anxious.
Horace snickered.
âWhatâs the matter?â Theodore asked abruptly, his tone cold.
Ariana hesitated before answering, âIâm in trouble.

Theodore frowned.
He stayed silent for a few seconds and then asked, âWas there something wrong with the program recording?â
He tried to keep his tone softer.

At the mention of this, Horace opened his phone to check the trending topics and showed Theodore.
After a quick glance, Theodore knew what had happened.
He also knew that Ariana was in a very helpless position.
But he was still unhappy with her for waiting so long to call.
