Linda picked up on the other end. “Eric?”

Her voice was light and playful. “To what do I owe the pleasure of this call during your busy schedule, Mr. Flynn? How can I assist you today?”

“Linda.”

Eric hesitated, his mind briefly wandering to his brother, who was still in a coma at the hospital. He furrowed his brow, grappling with discomfort, and then continued, “Going forward, please refrain from using my phone without permission.”

“What?” Linda’s tone shifted abruptly, her earlier smile freezing. “What are you implying? I’m not sure I follow.”

“Linda.”

Eric carefully chose his next words. “I have an app that retrieves deleted call logs.”

Linda paused, taken aback by the revelation.

The truth dawned on her.

Eric was aware that she had intercepted a call from the nightclub manager and then erased the trace. There was no denying it any longer.

With resignation, Linda replied, “Alright, yes, I took a call for you. Is this really worth a confrontation?”

Eric sidestepped her question. “I’m simply asking for my privacy to be respected. Let’s ensure this doesn’t happen again.”

After saying his piece, Eric hung up.

It was unusual; Eric hadn’t confronted Linda like this in years.

He shut his eyes and reclined in his seat.

Warmth spread from his back into the chair, merging with a slight pain, as a whirlwind of memories assaulted

him.

Beads of cold sweat soon formed on his forehead and temples.

On the other end, Linda was fuming.

She laughed bitterly after a prolonged silence, her grip tight on the phone.

“Unbelievable…”
