Chapter 38

“Naah, it’s okay. Typical Layla just being herself. But hey, we should definitely celebrate!” Astria exclaimed, a wide grin spreading across her face.

“Astria, your phone has been buzzing ever since we were hiding behind the door. You should probably answer that before we start celebrating,” Lucy pointed out, gesturing towards the vibrating device.

“Oh, right! Can you please pass it to me?” Astria requested, extending her hand.

Layla handed Astria her ringing phone, and Astria proceeded to answer the unknown caller, putting it on speaker.

“Hello?” Astria greeted, curiosity evident in her voice.

“Hello, may I know who’s speaking?” the voice on the other end inquired.

“I want to speak to Astria Monte, please. Is she available?” the person requested, sounding slightly urgent.

“She’s right here. You can speak to her,” Lucy responded, passing the phone to Astria.

“Give her the phone, please. It’s a personal matter,” the caller insisted.
