Nicklaus took his eyes off his paperwork and fixed his eyes on his phone at one ring. He picked up the phone and when he saw it was from Mr. Adams, he swiped towards the answer space without much thought.
He needed something else other than his paperwork to attend to and although he doesn't welcome calls from Mr. Adams, the call seemed to be a good distraction.
"Go on," he ordered the moment the call was connected, expecting it to be something worth his time and attention.
However, a few minutes into the call, his jaw clenched in the hardest way possible. His fist on his table clenched so hard that his knuckles turned white and he tried to hold himself.
He forcefully held himself back from getting mad at Mr. Adams in the most disrespectful way. Giving the man the title of being Arissa's biological dad, he decided to be as respectful as he could but he wasn't able to. He could not.
