The Woman From Hell

Green Orange.

Sitting in the office, I hesitated about whether I should give Caroline a call.

"What are you thinking about so deeply?" Shannon asked the moment she came in.

I raised my eyes and looked at her. "The children need someone to look after them. I was thinking if I wanted to have Caroline come over."

"That's an excellent idea considering Caroline is fond of you. She'll definitely take good care of them," Shannon put down her bag and answered rightly.

I looked at the phone but still did not make the call. "But Caroline has always been with Theo. It would be kind of bad if I called her over."

"Wanda, we've reached this point now. What's there to feel bad about? Also, you're just expressing your thoughts to Caroline. Whether or not she wants to come over is her decision." Shannon's words really woke me up.

Having made up my mind, I picked up my phone and called Caroline.

I tapped my hand on the table lightly as I waited for the call to connect. However, no one was answering.

Reasonably speaking, Caroline should be free now. Why was she not picking up?

I called her again but there was still no answer.

"Is she not answering?" Shannon asked.

"Yeah. It shouldn't be like this."

"Call the house phone, then. That'll probably connect, no?"
