Until she knew his intentions, it was best to remain polite and professional.
She sent the message, and a reply came back almost instantly.
[Would it be possible to have a voice call?]
Vivica frowned, hesitating. He was a man she barely knew; a sudden request for a voice call felt somewhat improper.
Just as she was wavering, the lounge door opened and Joseph walked in.
“What did he say?”
Vivica turned her phone screen toward him. “Look, he wants to have a voice call.”
Joseph sat down beside her and nodded decisively. “Call him.”
“Okay.”
With him by her side, her anxieties vanished, replaced by a newfound resolve. Without another thought, she hit the call button.
In Sydville, Raymond was surprised to see an incoming call so quickly, but he answered promptly.
“Hello, Ms. Lynn. My apologies for the intrusion,” he said, his tone just as courteous as before.
Vivica put the call on speaker. “Not at all, Mr. Smith. How can I help you?”
“Ms. Lynn, it’s like this… I told you before that you look like a friend of mine. That wasn’t entirely true. You actually resemble my aunt.”
