Chapter 64- Just a friend
The large suitcase slammed heavily onto the floor with a dull thud, rattling the entire room. From downstairs, Linda’s sharp voice immediately rang out, yelling up at him,
"Morrison, what’s wrong with you tonight?"
Morrison took two long drags from his cigarette before his nerves finally settled. Then, he pulled out his phone and dialed Lilian’s number.
Meanwhile, back at the Mos residence, Lilian had returned to the sofa with Karl, resuming polite conversation with Madam Mos and Lord Mo. Suddenly, her phone buzzed loudly on the side table.
Seeing the caller ID, Lilian nearly jumped out of her skin. Hastily, she grabbed the phone and shielded the screen from view. She gave a quick smile to Madam Mos and Lord Mo, apologizing softly,
"Sorry, I need to take this."
She stood up and walked away, careful to keep the call private.
Since breaking up with Morrison, Lilian had deleted his number from her contacts, but after having spent so much time together, she still remembered his number by heart.
In other words, even if deleted, his number was etched in her memory.
Karl, sitting beside Lilian, caught sight of her hurriedly snatching the phone. Curious, he glimpsed the caller ID. Though it was only a string of numbers, his sharp mind immediately recognized it.
Frowning, he pulled out his own phone and searched through his contacts. His gaze settled on a familiar name.
Lilian moved a few steps away before answering. Fortunately, the Mos family’s grand living room was spacious enough to keep her conversation private.
