Requesting Mr. Patel to stand in for her, Sabrina rose and stepped into the corridor to
answer the call.
“Hello?”
She spoke into the phone, but there was no response.
After several seconds of silence, Sabrina’s voice held a hint of confusion as she inquired,
“Tyrone?”
A low, masculine voice finally replied, “Yes.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCuriosity piqued, she questioned, “What’s the matter?” Sabrina couldn’t help but sense a
peculiar air about Tyrone this evening.
“I’ve had a bit of wine, and I wanted to hear your voice, Tyrone said slowly.
“Why are you drinking again? Doesn’t it bother your stomach?” Sabrina inquired with
genuine concerns.
Tyrone responded, his voice firm, “I know what I’m doing.”
He probed further, “Are you in the hotel right now? Or are you outside?”
Sabrina hesitated momentarily before replying, “I’m outside.”
Tyrone breathed a sigh of relief but then listened as Sabrina continued, “I am having
dinner in the restaurant, and I’ll be heading back to the hotel soon.”
Tyrone didn’t get along with Blayze. The fact that she was with Blayze would undoubtedly
drive Tyrone crazy. Therefore, Sabrina lied.

A sneer involuntarily tugged at Tyrone’s lips. Sabrina had proven herself a proficient liar.
“Really?” He feigned ignorance.
“What did you have for dinner?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAfter a brief pause, Sabrina responded, “Roasted fish.”
“Which restaurant? I recall there’s a place called Lotus Restaurant on Girin Road with
excellent roasted fish,” Tyrone remarked.
Sabrina found herself momentarily taken aback.
Fortunately, she had indeed savored some delectable roasted fish on a previous visit to
Violetholt, so she knew a restaurant that matched Tyrone’s description.
“Deep Lotus Restaurant.”
Tyrone continued, “I’ve heard of it, though I’ve never dined there.
Please grab a menu for me. I’ll give it a try next time I’m in Violetholt.”
Sabrina struggled to regain her composure.
