"Hello?" Coralie picked up the phone and answered the call.
"Hiya, Miss Chariott, do you still remember me?"
She thought it was from Skylar, but there was a strange voice with a hint of familiarity on the other side of the phone.
"Who is this?" Coralie asked.
"I'm so sad that you have forgotten me. It's me, Franklin!"
He introduced himself.
Only then did Coralie think about Franklin Moore...
Franklin did help her back then, but she seldom met him. He always had a different woman around him every time she saw him.
"Ah, it's you. What's the matter?" She said.
Coralie's mobile phone number remained the same as before.
Thus, she didn't feel strange that Franklin knew her number.
But it was strange for him to contact her.
"Oh, I just want to ask you if your clothes fit? Is the food good?" He asked.
"You were the one who sent it to me?" Coralie was surprised.
"Of course! Yesterday I booked a room here with a babe, and I happened to see you going into a room with your clothes all soaked. I knew it definitely wouldn't dry up this morning, so I kindly asked someone to buy you some clothes. How is it? Did that move you?"
Franklin was blabbering by himself.
However, Coralie felt so awkward at this moment. There were undergarments in the bag that was sent to her. Such a personal thing was given to her by a person who could barely be regarded as her ordinary friend...
"Were you the one who sent it to me?" She repeated.
"Yeah, what do you think? Who else will think of you except me?" He replied casually.
Although Franklin had said so, Coralie still refused to believe it.
"It can't be you. The size of the clothes..."
Coralie wanted to say that the size of the undergarments was completely correct. If Franklin bought it casually, how could it be so well-tailored?
"I'm not going to lie to you. I have a special ability. I can guess the measurement of any woman at a glance. From your response, it seems that I hit the jackpot again."
"Thank you," Coralie could only say this.
She really couldn't believe it.
Since Franklin had admitted it, she could no longer ask if these things were sent by Skylar. It would come off as a strange question.
"Don't mention it. This is my number. I assume you didn't have it. Save it now and remember to come to me if you need anything." Franklin originally wanted to hang up the phone after saying it, but in the end, he deliberately added, "By the way, I'm single."
After that, the call was disconnected.
At first, she was bubbling with expectation at the bags of clothes, but at this time, her hope had completely vanished.
However, she still felt that it was odd for Franklin to send her these clothes. She would rather believe that it was Skylar who sent it to her.
......
On the other side of the phone was Franklin in his home. After he hung up the phone, he picked up another phone that was on handsfree mode. It was connected all this time.
He picked up the phone and said, "Uncle, I've done it. You have to give me the order you promised!"
From the other side of the call came Skylar's displeased voice. He gritted word by word, "I'll give you the order, but only half."
"Why? I asked someone to buy and send her those clothes early in the morning, but you only gave me half?"
Franklin was furious!
