The moment Joanna Haynes heard that, her rage hit the roof!
“Bruce Everett, what is your problem?”
“Heh, you’re the one who called to ask me out, not the other way round!”
“With this attitude, I don’t think there’s even a need for us to meet!” With that, Bruce hung up on Joanna.
He was confident.
He was very confident that Joanna would call him again.
“Hello, hello…” Joanna said a few times in exasperation. However, all she could hear was a beep signaling that the line was busy.
Beep, beep, beep!
Bruce’s phone vibrated again.
After Bruce had hung up, Joanna was so angry that her face turned purple. She immediately dialed his number again.
Seeing that Joanna had called him again, Bruce pursed his lips and smiled.
He knew that she would call again.
Beep, beep, beep!
His phone kept vibrating but he purposely

Soon after…
A familiar tone came
from the other end of the line. “Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable…”
Joanna brushed away the stray hair on her forehead before sending a text to Bruce.
“Answer the phone right now, I have something to ask you!”
Bruce looked at the text from Joanna and a hint of mockery appeared on his handsome face.
He could tell that she was anxious!
As long as she was anxious, she would start panicking. When that happens, it would be too easy for him to deal with her.
Beep, beep, beep!
Joanna’s third call came quickly!
After his phone vibrated for a while, Bruce slowly picked up the call just as the call was about to end.
“Hello! Speak!”
Joanna took a deep breath and tried hous
best to suppress her anger as she asked, “Bruce Everett, what exactly do you want?”
“What is that supposed to mean? What exactly do you want?”
“Where are you now? I need to see you!” Joanna’s tone sounded cold.
