Shawn Clegg picked up the phone again.
He looked at the number he had dialed before, hesitated for a long time, and then pressed redial.
He placed the phone to his ear quietly, waiting attentively for the signal to transmit...
This moment felt exceedingly long.
And it was somewhat nerve-wracking.
After what seemed like an eternity, Shawn finally heard a cold female voice from the other end, "The number you have dialed is switched off..."
Switched off!
Shawn's anger reignited.
He immediately turned his wheelchair, heading to the nearest room without caring who was inside, and knocked forcefully on the door: "Daisy Wright! Come out here now!"
Come out here... out here... here...
The hallway was empty, echoing back his words.
The door he had knocked on gave a muffled sound, as if to tell him his anger was pointless.
Daisy was not inside.
"Master Shawn?" a servant was startled and hurriedly came out.
Shawn felt a moment of embarrassment.
