Chapter 4 - 04 - Girlfriend
Back at school, Lilian threw herself into revising her thesis. By the time she met with her advisor and finished discussing the feedback, it was already late at night when she returned to her dorm.
Her phone had been on silent during the meeting, and when she finally checked it, she saw several missed calls—all from Morrison.
She hurriedly called him back.
"Mr. Morrison, did you need something?"
His voice was lazy on the other end, a playful tease curling around each word.
"Can’t I call you just because I want to?"
Lilian blushed slightly.
"I didn’t mean it that way... I had my phone on silent during the meeting. I just saw you called several times..."
She wanted him to know she’d noticed—and that she cared.
He chuckled softly, his voice like warm wine on a winter night.
"It’s nothing important. I just wanted to make sure you got back safely."
"Oh. Yeah, I’m back at the dorm now, just about to wash up and go to bed."
