Hearing Benjamin Shaw say there was a call coming in, Alice Turner thought it was true and worried it was a call from Thomas Fisher. She immediately walked over to Benjamin not far away.
Buzz buzz buzz!
Before she could reach him, she heard her phone ringing, and her steps instinctively quickened.
"Give me..."
The word "phone" hadn't even left her mouth when she saw Benjamin pick up the call, her heart skipped a beat, and she stopped in her tracks.
"Enough already! My ears are about to grow calluses because of you." This call wasn't from Thomas Fisher, whom Alice was worried about, but from Charlotte Shaw who had just called.
Seeing it was his sister calling once again, Benjamin picked up the call without hesitation, and when he spoke, he was even less polite.
Hearing Benjamin say this, Alice finally realized it was Charlotte calling, and her heart, which had just been in her throat, instantly settled down. She stood not far behind him and didn't continue to move forward.
