“Here's your phone, sir." Horace handed him his phone and continued, "Last week, Mrs. Anderson wanted to talk to you and asked where you were.”

“Why didn't you tell me that earlier?" Theodore snapped furiously, grabbing the phone in a hurry.

He checked his call log, and, as expected, there were several missed calls from her.

Horace pursed his lips, avoiding eye contact nervously. He didn't dare to say anything. It was indeed his mistake. At that time, he didn't reach out to Theodore because he was worried he wouldn't want to be disturbed. Horace regretted that decision now. He should have followed his intuition and told Theodore as soon as possible.

Theodore had become irritable. If he had known he would receive calls from her earlier, he would have brought his phone with him.
