Did I just make him stop whatever he was doing in the toilet to take my call? Oh my god, what had I done?

I slapped my forehead, trying to shake the image of what he might have been doing out of my mind.

“I wasn’t expecting you to gather that much money so quickly, to be honest.”

I giggled. “That company’s a ticking time bomb, so holding onto its shares was too risky. I figured I might as well get rid of them before anything happens,” I explained.
