There are many times when a phone call has saved people from awkward situations and at this moment, it did.
Nolan asked a very sensitive question. She could not tell him, not because she did not trust him but because she had no idea why herself. Was it fear? Hatred? Whatever it was, she is yet to find out.
On hearing the voice from the other end, she took the phone away from her ears to glance at the caller ID before placing the phone back in her ear.
"Is there a problem?" she asked then glanced at Nolan who gave her a questioning look
She shook her head before she heard the person on the other line say, "No, I just want to see you"
"Sir, I-"
"Please" Mr Marvin interrupted
With his tone, Leila knew something was up. She brushed it off and not wanting to tell him no, she replied, "I'll try"
"Alright. Before the week runs out" he said,
"Okay" She placed the phone down and took a sip from her wine
