She glanced at the screen and saw it was Jake.
Eliza furrowed her brows in confusion.
When she had been kidnapped, Vaughn had changed his place of work to another branch to keep her safe.
Since then, she hadn't heard from Jake, so why was he calling now?
Vaughn noticed her reaction and asked, "What happened? Who called?"
Eliza looked at him, her voice tinged with concern. "Jake."
Vaughn's eyes darkened at the mention of Jake's name. "Don't pick it up."
Eliza nodded, her stomach knotting with unease. The phone rang two more times before the call was automatically cut off. Moments later, a message notification flashed on her screen. She glanced at it, her heart pounding.
The message read: "Hello Eliza, I'm back in town. Can we meet, please? I'm sorry about what happened last time. I wanted to apologize to you, but I was allocated in a remote area."
