Gale was still in his office when his phone rang. He looked at the ID and felt like he should just ignore it. It was good that Elise hadn't done anything to get in his way in the last couple days, but it didn't mean she had given up on that idea.
It was the third time she was trying to get in contact with him, but he didn't have any interest to bother with her. Yet the phone kept on ringing its melody growing on his nerves.
"What is it?" he finally asked while standing up. Since he was stopped from working, he might as well use that time to get more coffee. It was the only thing keeping him on his feet, after all.
"Stop acting like a fool and let me help," Elise said, sounding as annoyed as he felt. Why couldn't she just find another hobby instead of bothering him?
