When Russell saw the caller ID, his brows furrowed, but he still answered, "Hello?"

Rina's voice came through, "Where are you? Why aren't you home yet?"

Russell's tone remained indifferent. "I'm not coming home tonight."

"You can't!" Rina's voice suddenly rose. "You have to come back! Russell, have you forgotten what you promised me? How long have we been married? Did you forget?"

His expression was cold, and his words even colder. "I'm busy. Stop being unreasonable."
