Toby furrowed his brows. Did she delete my number?

When Sonia noticed that the caller wasn’t speaking, she tilted her head in confusion, ready to hang up. It wasn’t until then that the caller responded. A man’s deep and melodious voice came through. “It’s me.”

 

Sonia’s pupils contracted, and she stopped writing. When she checked the screen of her phone, and as soon as she saw the familiar string of numbers, she pulled her lips into a thin line. It really is him!

Even after their divorce and having deleted all of Toby’s contact details, she could recognize his phone number at first glance. After taking a deep breath, she ignored the sourness within her by putting on a poker face as she spoke. “Do you need something from me, President Fuller?”

Toby’s face fell as soon as he noticed the coldness in Sonia’s tone. She was being so gentle when she didn’t recognize me, but she flipped when she did. Suppressing the feelings of dismay within him, he pulled his lips into a thin line. “I would like to apologize to you.”

Sonia leaned back after tossing her pen away. “Apologize? Did you do something that warrants an apology?”

 

“It’s my mother. Sorry for giving you trouble.” Toby hung his head low, his tone apologetic.
