Careless

"H… Hello?" I stammered, standing around a hidden corner of the venue.

"Kaito, long time no see!" Chiharu replied. "Are you so excited to hear my voice that you're shaking?"

Nothing more than a whistle reached my ears. Although my heart wasn't beating fast, every beat felt like a punch. When I least expected it, my biggest fear returned.

"Knock, knock. Is anyone there?" Chiharu joked.

"What do you want?" I retorted.

"My, my. What's up with that growl? You should know to be polite toward your threatener at your age."

"Can you afford to say that on a call?"

"I can afford to call you, Kaito. It doesn't matter what I say, no one can track this call in any way."

"What if someone is standing next to me and listening?"

"You're smarter than that. Also, I'm watching the camera in your glasses and I also can see if the speakers are enabled."

That sent shivers down my spine.
