The moment he answered the call, everyone in the room could hear his mother's voice because of how loud she was.
Excusing himself from the two people who stifled their laughter, he walked to the floor to ceiling windows.
"What is it now?" He whispered and turned back to check if Lina and Benji were listening.

Reuben on the other hand was patiently listening to his mother rant about her hectic day with the Zhengs who had stopped by for lunch.
'Asst Kim was right! That stupid woman couldn't control her big mouth!' He rolled his eyes.
"Reuben, why was Talia crying so bitterly when she came home?" She sternly interrogated him.
