This was driving her crazy! She regretted moving here under his oppressive authority in the first place. Now everything was becoming more and more complicated! The more she thought about it, the more overwhelmed she felt. Finally, she reluctantly told Victoria:
"Victoria, I might not be able to make it over for the next few days. You and Gary handle things for now. I'll call you when I have time!"
As soon as she sat back down, she was met with his disapproving gaze. Feeling awkward, she let out two sheepish laughs and lowered her head to eat. But just after a couple of bites, her phone rang again, nearly making her choke.
She had no idea what was going on today. Normally, no one contacted her, yet suddenly her phone was buzzing non-stop. This time, she didn't even dare look at him. Hastily saying sorry, she rushed out to answer the call.
