Not her choice

Leo picked up his phone and checked the caller. He frowned hard before picking it.

It was Reuben, Ella's claimed boyfriend.

He has been disturbing the life out of Leo since he gave him his number, but as a fellow man, he understood quite well how ones feel when truly in love.

They don't mind being a nuisance, as long as it helps in their pursuit.

He just pity him for who he fell for.

"Hello!" Leo spoke up, as he picked the call.

"You have not been picking my call, Mr Raymond. I hope everything is good? I just want to ask if Ella is back." Reuben said.

"Sorry for not picking up, I was very busy with work." Leo replied.

"I'm so sorry. I hope I didn't disturb you." Reuben apologized.

"You did." Leo replied.

Clara: "..."

Reuben: "..."

"Can you give me a few minutes to round up with what I was doing, please?" Leo asked.

"Yeah sure, I'm sorry once again." Reuben said, feeling bad.
