Maya's fingers tapped rhythmically on the armrest as she dialed Luis's number. "Luis, darling, I miss you," she purred into the phone, her voice taking on a sweet, coquettish tone. "Can you come home now?"
Luis's gruff reply cut through her playfulness. "Don't play around, Maya. You know I have a lot of pending work here."
"But I am missing you," Maya whined with feigned petulance. "How about you take me on a vacation?"
Luis sighed heavily, frustration was evident in his tone. "I am here in this city for business, Maya, not for holidaying. If you want to go out and have fun, then go. Don't trouble me."
After a moment of pause, he commanded sternly, "And one more thing: Silas called me and explained everything. He apologized and is ready to compensate you. Silas is an important partner, and I don't want any trouble with him because. I need him for this project. Resume the shoot as soon as possible."
