Chapter 13 Mystery

He was sure. After picking up the call, indeed, something would happen afterwards. As far as I remember, that's always been the case. Taking a deep breath, Nicholas convinced himself to swipe at the green mark on the phone screen and started talking.
• "Hello..."
• "It's been a long time I haven't heard from you, Nick. Are you very busy there?" There was a tinge of irritation in every word he said.
