296 His Suspicions

A tall figure stood at the wall to ceiling windows and gazed outside as his hand held the phone to his ears.

Reuben gritted his teeth as he glanced outside the window and noticed that the Sun had already set yet there was no sign of Lina to be found in his house.

He had been used to seeing her face once work was done for the past couple of days and now he was annoyed that she had not yet returned home.

"Hello?" The voice from the phone which had been ringing until now made him snap out of his thoughts.

'He finally answered!' Reuben scowled and then turned away from the window that he had been standing at for quite a few minutes now.

"Where is Lina?" He interrogated and made sure to use her name instead of the endearment he usually called her with.

The person on the other side of the phone sneered and then rolled his eyes when he heard these words.
