Hearing the familiar voice, Angelo seemed to understand something. While Drake was not noticing, he took a chance to lunge forward and take the phone from Drake.
When she saw the name on the phone, Angelo hung it up at once. She gave a long breath, thinking that Drake indeed called Hale.
She didn't want Drake to meet Hale now because she didn't want Drake to know Angelo, his brother, had left Hale.
Though she had made an excuse to Hale, Drake might see it through. So, she didn't want him to know it so soon.
"Give it back to me."
Drake reached out for the phone. But he was so upset that he didn't think carefully about why Angeline did just now.
"No, unless you send me home."
Angelo stuffed the phone into her bag and then played her old trick. She went to Drake, grabbed his sleeve, and gently shook it.
It used to work every time. But she just neglected that she was Angeline now.
