Faux Vows, True Desires

Chapter 5

Lucinda heaved a sigh of relief. Now she wouldn't have to pay for his rent.

Stefan's phone started ringing out of the blue. He was driving, so he couldn't pick up, but the caller was relentless, the phone kept ringing non-stop. He had no choice but to take out his phone from his pocket with one hand and handed it to Lucinda, who looked puzzled.

"I'm driving, can't answer the phone, can you check who it is?"

Lucinda felt awkward about it, but she couldn't say no. When she saw the caller ID was "Ike", she felt nervous.

Ike had no idea that his sister Lucinda was the one holding Stefan's phone, neither did he know that Stefan was driving when he called again. Stefan looked at Lucinda quizzically, "Who is it, Lucinda? Why didn't you pick up for me?"

"Stefan, I can't take the call."

Although Lucinda had prepared herself for how to face her family when she decided to rent Stefan, she still felt a bit flustered when her brother Ike called.

Well, she needed some time to compose herself.

"It's my brother." Lucinda added.

Stefan was a bit surprised. He and Ike were college buddies, but they weren't close. They just kept in touch sporadically over the years since graduation, and occasionally met up for a few drinks. That was it. "I'll take it." Stefan slowed down and pulled over, luckily, parking was allowed here.

He took the phone from Lucinda and answered Ike's call.
