"No way," Darren said right off the bat. "Natalie wouldn't do that."

Darren knew how much Natalie liked him; with her personality, she wouldn't dare block him. Raising an eyebrow, Darren confidently dialed her number again, but all he got was a cold beep. He scowled and tossed his phone onto the table, staring at it for a moment before suddenly shouting, "Tony! Lemme use your phone!"

Tony quickly handed over his phone.

Darren dialed Natalie's number, and to his surprise, it connected after just two rings.

"Who's this?" A sleepy voice came through the line. Of course, it was Natalie.

Grinding his teeth, Darren snapped, "Natalie, who told you to block me?"

His angry voice blared through the speaker, almost blasting her eardrum. The only time she remembered hearing a man sound so angry was with Darren. Natalie switched to speakerphone and held the phone a bit away from her ear, her tone steady as she asked, "Mr. Luther, can't you be a bit nicer?"

"What did you say?"

It hit Darren like a ton of bricks when he knew that she hung up him. He wanted to chuck the phone.

Seeing this, Tony quickly cleared his throat to warn Darren, "Uh, Mr. Luther! That's... my phone."

"She's got some nerve!" Even though Darren stopped himself from chucking the phone, he was still furning. "How dare she block me and hang up? Is she out of her mind?"
