Aveline immediately hung up the call.

Lucas glanced at her and asked, "Why didn't you answer?"

Aveline responded curtly, "That's none of your business."

Aveline closed her eyes briefly, exhaling a heavy sigh before calmly replying, "Lucas, I don't feel like I need to report every little thing I do to you. You mean nothing to me."
