There was silence on the other end, likely from anger so intense that he couldn't speak. Fredy, understanding, handed the phone back to the woman in the back seat. Cynthia giggled as she took the phone.
"Hmm? Who's calling?"
Who would remember her and call her? A lonely person like her...
"Master—"
Fredy wiped the sweat from his brow, praying she wouldn't forget who the Master was.
However, it was as if she saw through his thoughts. Tilting her head and furrowing her delicate brows, she opened her mouth and asked, "Master? Who's that?"
Fredy was instantly frozen in place, then covered his head and turned back around. The driver, startled, almost swerved the car. Sure enough, a loud roar came through the phone.
"Cynthia!"
The shout startled Cynthia awake for a moment, but she quickly drifted back into her haze. She weakly leaned against the back seat, holding the phone to her ear, nodding to herself seriously.
