Jasper's hand that was tidying Alyssa's hair paused. He looked at the phone screen too.
"Alyssa, do you know this number?"
"No."
"Are you going to answer it?" Jasper frowned slightly.
Alyssa had never answered any unknown calls. She rarely received them either.
This time, however, her heart was beating faintly with expectancy. It felt like if she didn't answer the call, she would miss the opportunity of gaining millions.

Alyssa and Jasper looked at each other. She immediately placed the call on speakerphone and recorded it. "M-May I know who this is?"
"I-Is this Ms. Alyssa Taylor?" the girl asked softly.
