Meanwhile...
"Why isn't he answering?" Ivy murmured to herself, listening to the line ring. When the call abruptly ended, she looked at her phone with genuine wonder in her eyes. "He told me to call him as soon as possible after I read his message."
Ivy shook her head and tried reaching Tiger once more. Much to her dismay, this time, she couldn't reach him at all.
"What's going on?" she muttered, peeling her phone from her ear. "He always answers my calls..."
She trailed off as a sudden sense of dread crept up her spine. Her heart suddenly thudded, making her clasp her chest. Deep lines appeared between her brows, and she gripped her phone a little tighter.
"Could it be that he's in danger?" she wondered to herself, almost choking on her own breath at the thought.
