Jeffrey felt like Karen’s words were just a brush-off.

“Answer? How can you give me an answer?”

They didn’t even have each other’s phone numbers. Was he supposed to just wait around, hoping she’d pop by to give him her decision?

Karen hesitated for a moment, then with a half-smile, she said, “Oh, alright then. Jot down my number, it’s 555-867-5309.”

After rattling off the digits, she turned to leave.

Jeffrey grabbed her sleeve before she could walk away!

The next second, his phone played a soulless electronic tone—

“The number you have dialed is not in service. Please check the number and dial again…”

Karen was taken aback. She didn’t expect him to call right then and there!

The situation was awkward to say the least.

Jeffrey just stared at her silently.

Slapping her forehead, Karen said, “I must’ve mixed up a digit. Try dialing it again!”
