Danrique's tone changed immediately.

Though she felt timid inwardly, Francesca decided to stick with it after glancing at William quickly. “Yeah, why?”

“You realize that the time right now on your side is one o'clock in the morning, do you?” Danrique's voice sounded like the sharp wind in the winter through the phone. “Francesca, you blacklisted me on your phone and hung out with a man late at night. Splendid. You did well!”

“That's not it, I-”

As she wanted to explain further, the phone was immediately hung up by Danrique. It happened so fast that Francesca, still holding her phone, was left dumbfounded. “Da*n it. He hung me up.”

“You just had to stir up trouble,” William sternly scolded Robin while seeing this.

“No, this is not your problem. He's just being mean, that's all.” Francesca, however, was not bothered by what happened. “All right then, let's not be affected by him and continue our meal, shall we?”
