Disgusted by his words, Theodore sneered and said slowly, "I heard that we're in need of workers in the western area. You should go over there and help out tomorrow."

With that, he hung up the phone.

Feeling more irritated now, he took a sip of coffee. He started dialing Ariana's number but stopped himself after typing two digits.

She should be the one to come to him.

Theodore checked the time. It was nine pm. She should be in the hotel by now. Normally, while a wife was away on a long trip, she should call and let her husband know her schedule.
