"Hello, Tyrone?" While contemplating how to broach the subject of her delayed return to Tyrone, Sabrina received a call from him.

“Have you had dinner?" Tyrone asked.

"I just finished eating," Sabrina replied.

Sabrina heard Tyrone’s resonant voice over the line, accompanied by the rhythmic clatter of a keyboard, suggesting a late-night work session. "Sabrina, are you done with your work yet? When will you come back?"

Just a few hours ago, Tyrone himself meticulously selected his photos for a magazine feature, and the office was already in the process of arranging them for typesetting.

Pausing for a moment, Sabrina curled her lips, dodging the question casually. "Is Jennie still in Wanda's house?"

Tyrone was taken aback. He caught on to Sabrina deliberately changing the subject, sensing something was up. He pressed his lips together before stating, "Yeah. When will you catch a flight? I will pick you up when you land... Don't tell me that you can't come back."

Sabrina knew she couldn't fool him. She heaved a heavy sigh and confessed, “Lately, I've been... Well, I can't come back for the time being..."

Her voice waned as she spoke, the weight of her admission hanging in the air.

"What's wrong?" Tyrone's tone shifted to a more serious note.

“I got an invitation to shoot for a new brand. If everything goes as planned, I might be able to come back next weekend. But if things don't go well..."

Sabrina left the sentence unfinished, knowing Tyrone could grasp the unspoken implications.

Tyrone didn't say a word. Listening to his silence, Sabrina continued seriously, "Tyrone, you promised me I could work here, and I had made a commitment to that person..."

As Sabrina's voice took on a more alert tone, Tyrone felt a sense of helplessness and said, “I haven't said anything yet. How do you know I won't agree?"

“Your tone is..." Sabrina's lips stretched into a relieved smile.

“Tyrone, you're the best. I know you'd understand! Don't worry. I'll finish my work as soon as possible!"

When Tyrone heard her address him in such a sweet tone, something occurred to him. She hadn't called him in such a way in a long time.

As this thought Lingered in Tyrone's mind, Jennie's childish voice in the background interjected into the phone conversation, "Tyrone, are you talking to Sabrina?"

"Yeah, would you like to come and chat with her?"

"Yes!" Shortly after, Jennie's voice became louder as she neared Tyrone's phone. "Sabrina! I miss you so much!"
