I nodded with a smile. "Thank you."
Miss Woods was quick and served us the hot dishes in no time. When I was eating with Theo, his phone that was on the table rang.
When we came down, he was afraid that Mason or Zedd would look for him, so he brought his phone along with him. Yet, the person calling him now was not either one of them.
Seeing Cindy’s name on the screen, I frowned without saying anything.
Theo did not intend to answer the call and changed his phone to silent mode. He just let her continue calling.
Even without the noise, the phone of his screen was constantly illuminated and I would see her name as soon as I raised my head. I felt slightly irritated. "You can either switch off your phone or pick up the call."
Theo frowned. "Just let it be. She won’t continue calling if I don’t pick up."
I slammed the chopsticks on the dining table. "I’m annoyed by the constant calls. Either you pick it up or switch off your phone. Otherwise, get out of my sight."
When he saw how mad I was, Theo could not
understand my outburst. "I didn't ask her to call me, did I? What can I do about it? Do you need to be so mad at me?"
I glared at him. "Yes!"
After yelling, I continued, "If I were you, I would have blocked her number. You're just giving her chances to pester you, no?"
"You’re just blaming the victim now.” Theo's expression turned cold.
I laughed in anger. "You’re not the victim. You're guilty.”
