On Saturday, Bella White had arranged to go to Lily Furniture Square with Mateo Torres to buy furniture, so after having breakfast, she prepared to leave home.
Just as she started the car, a call from Mateo Torres came through. As soon as she pressed the answer button, Mateo's deep, caring voice echoed from the mobile phone.
"Bella, where are you at?"
"I've just started driving. If there's no traffic jam, I'll be there in about twenty minutes," Bella replied truthfully, as her place was some distance from Lily Furniture Square.
"Okay, then drive safely. I'm already at Lily Furniture Square. I'm going to take a closer look at this bed."
Mateo's low voice came from the phone, and when he mentioned the bed, there was an ambiguous laugh in his tone, causing Bella's face to involuntarily flush red, as if she were a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl hearing about an adulterous couple for the first time.
