When Reuben heard the question that was thrown at him, he froze and turned to look in the direction of his guest room.
He took a sigh of relief when the door closed after the person had just entered it.
'How could she hear such a soft voice?' He wondered and cursed himself for being careless.
He hastily rose from his seat on the couch and strode in the direction of his study.
"Uh… What… What voice, Kitten?" He replied while trying his best to keep his voice from trembling.
'What if she is still not convinced and asks more questions?' He looked around the room in anxiety.
Getting an idea he turned on his laptop and played a random video from the news channel.
He even raised the volume so that she might hear the female newsreader that had appeared on his screen.
"You mean this? I was watching the news." He explained and even went as far as moving the phone closer to the laptop so that she might hear the anchor's voice.
