Benjamin Shaw pulled out the buzzing phone from his pocket and glanced at it. He didn't pick up, choosing instead to hang up.
After hanging up, he put the phone back in his pocket. Before he could take his hand out, the phone started ringing again.
When he heard the phone ring again, Benjamin furrowed his brow slightly. Alice Turner caught this little expression as she looked at him.
She glanced at him without saying a word and walked toward the living room, leaving the space for him to mull over the phone.
When Alice reached the living room door, she heard Benjamin answer the phone, "What's up?"
His tone and attitude were not pleasant. Whether it was because of the person on the other end or because of her going into the living room, it wasn't clear.
"What's wrong? Did someone upset you?"
Calling was Sophie Snow, and even through the phone, she sensed Benjamin's bad mood. Not knowing what had happened, she was filled with doubt.
