Mia was slightly stunned. She glanced down at her phone. It was Timothy.

Her head shot back up as she replied gracefully, “Oh, don’t bother. It’s a scam call.”

Dominic frowned as he asked, “Who’s harassing you?”

Mia pursed her lips before coming up with something plausible, “Um, I have been receiving calls about whether I’d fancy a renovation, since I just bought my house not long ago.”
