"Hey? Hi," Jared said with surprise, he hadn't expected her to pick up the call.
'What's up?' Ariana asked, with a casual tone as though she hadn't been avoiding for days now.
"I'm good...and you?" I have been dying to hear your voice. He didn't add the afterthought obviously.
'I'm good, uh, how are you feeling?' Her voice at the other end sounded a bit uncomfortable.
Does she really not want to talk to him? Jared couldn't help but frown.
"If you cared, you would have called earlier to know how I am doing," he didn't intend to sound harsh but it came out as though he was accusing her.
She went silent for a while, seeming shocked by his statement and he didn't say anything as he waited for her to respond.
'Uh, I am sorry...I have been busy with...some work,' it sounded like a lie, an apparent way of avoiding him.
"Sure, because you are the CEO of two companies, after all, right?" He said with a little bit of sarcasm. Jared sighed.
