132 Who Is On The Line

~Sylvester~

I held the phone to my ears, wondering who was on the other end of the phone.

"Who am I speaking to, please?” n.ove.lx.o I asked, and there was silence.

I could not understand the need for the drama. I was getting impatient, but I relaxed, knowing that the caller wanted me to be apprehensive.

"How are you doing today, Sylvester?" the caller asked me.

Something was condescending about their tone. They spoke to me like an elder would speak to a child. As if I were stupid and beneath them.

"I am fine, thank you,” I said with all the calmness I could manage.

David tapped me and frowned, and I held up my index finger, n.ove.lx.o indicating he gives me a minute.

"How may I help you?’ I asked.

"You know who is speaking, don't you?" the voice asked, novel.xo and honestly, the caller was getting on my nerves.

"I do not. Please introduce yourself," I said, and the caller laughed.
