Chapter 212
Elio’s response was brief. “Whatever you want.”
“Whatever I want?” Quincy seemed thrilled. “Alright, chief, I got you.”
After ending the call, Elio tossed his phone onto the desk without a care.
He turned around to look out the window as Astrid’s face replayed in his mind.
She should be home by now, right?
What was she doing?
The incident online today was a big deal; would it affect her?
After some pondering, Elio felt restless.
He spent about an hour wrapping up his work, then made his exit. Once in his car, he rang up Roman.
The first call went unanswered.
He dialed again, and Roman’s excited voice came through. “Elio, what’s up?”
“Hurry, Astrid! Hit him, hit him!”
The noise on the other end was overwhelming.
“Where are you, Roman?” Before Elio could finish, Roman hung up.
But from the sounds of it, he was at the arcade, and it seemed like he was with Astrid.
While he was worrying about whether Astrid was upset about the online incident, she was out playing games at the arcade with Roman?
And the most important thing was that they went without him and had no plans to include him.
