Lincoln answered the phone.
For the first time, Lorin at the other end did not start to speak instantly.
It was probably somewhat awkward for him. After all, it was less than 20 minutes since their last conversation and now he had to convey a completely opposite message to Lincoln…
If Lincoln had a bit more understanding of social protocols, he should have spoken first to give Lorin a way out.
However, Lincoln was somewhat disgruntled from before, and coupled with his fun-loving personality, he remained silent.
"Ahem, ahem!" Lorin had to awkwardly clear his throat twice, then as if the last conversation hadn't happened at all, casually said, "I'm just the messenger here..."
...
This conversation was even shorter. Just three minutes later, Lorin hung up on Lincoln.
Then, the [Lover Contract] was back online.
