Chapter 80

“Answer it.” Greta picks up my phone and holds it out to me, but I hesitate and stare at the flashing screen instead. We leave it between us as we sit tensely on the bed, now facing one another. Her eyes dart from it to me, and she sighs heavily. “Take it.”

“It’s late. As far as he knows, I’m asleep.” I push it away but flinch when she grabs my wrist and forces it into my hand, swiping the answer button as she does so. Strangely strong for such a tiny wench.

“Yeah, well, now he knows we’re not.” She winks, sliding away, and motions for me to lift it before jumping out of bed and heading to the door. She switches the overhead light and blinds me with the sudden assault. “Hi, Jyeon… Don’t keep her up too late. She’s a monster when she’s tired,” she yells loudly, making sure he would have heard her, before sauntering off with a wiggle and a mischievous wave and leaving me alone with my phone. I stare at the lit screen and his name and cave because she’s given me no choice.
