Joe tossed his phone aside and returned to the bathroom.
…
Rosa tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep.
She hadn't had a decent night's rest in days. After the party, she had planned to have a good conversation with Joe that night, but then he unexpectedly left for a business trip that stretched over several days.
During this time, it felt as if Joe had vanished. She kept telling herself not to rush into contacting him, but he didn't reach out to her either.
The situation remained tense. Today, she could no longer hold back her anxiety. After some deliberation, she decided to call Calvin.
"Ms. Reese?" Calvin answered.
"Is Mr. Sowle very busy these days?" she asked bluntly.
"Yes, Mr. Sowle has been very busy lately, leaving early and returning late. Some issues with a partnership have caused some complications," Calvin replied.
Hearing that he was genuinely occupied, Rosa sighed in relief. "When will you all be done and back?"
"We've wrapped everything up today, so we'll return tomorrow."
A flicker of joy surged through Rosa. "Great! I just called to check on Mr. Sowle's whereabouts. Please don't mention this to him."
Calvin hesitated for a moment. "Understand."
After hanging up, Rosa felt as though she could finally breathe again.
