Harriet had no idea who could be calling at this hour.

‘Could it be Molly?’ She wondered.

After a moment of silence, a dark smile curled on his lips.

“It’s Vernon calling. Would you like to answer?”

His eyes held a mysterious glint, leaving her unsure of his true intentions.

He seemed to be hinting that if she dared to answer the call, he would smash the phone.

Harriet wondered but soon dismissed the ridiculous thought.
