"Finance is ..." I was in the middle of expressing my thoughts on finance when my phone suddenly rang inside my bag, causing me to freeze in place. The loud ringtone echoed through the silent room, drawing everyone's attention to me. I felt a wave of embarrassment wash over me as I realized that I had committed a major crime.
As I hesitated, unsure of what to do, Roman, with his unreadable expression, calmly instructed me, "Pick up your call." He dared. His tone held an underlying note of displeasure, and I was taken aback by his command.
I wasn't sure if it was okay to pick up the call like he had said because why would I pick up the call in the middle of something important like this? I cursed myself and cursed the person who had ruined this moment for me.
Before I could act, the vice president of the group tried to intervene, "President" she called, but Roman remained unfazed, ignoring her completely.
