Chapter 39
Something seemed off.
I lay in bed thinking about it, but I couldn't figure it out. Why would Roman have a different number?
Screw it. I decided to call it.
It rang and rang with no answer. Instead, he texted: I'm in a meeting.
I rested my chin on my hand, pondering the situation and what to do.
Picking up my phone again, I called the Starke pack offices-where Roman worked for his family.
This time, he answered quickly. His voice was low and carried a hint of impatience. "I'm in a meeting. What's the matter?"
I hadn't actually expected him to be in a meeting, so I quickly replied, "Nothing," then hung up.
What a psycho! Texting me with a strange number during a meeting. Did he have nothing else to do? If he was so busy in his meeting, what the hell was he doing texting? Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Then again, he'd changed his number before when I'd blocked him. Maybe he'd had to change it because he'd been harassing some other woman who'd blocked him.
BUMS
I put down the phone, planning to ignore him, but I didn't expect to see another text message.
He returned to the first question: Answer me. Why did you go to the hospital?
Goddess, he was crazy. He wouldn't speak when I called, but he'd just continue to ask the same question over text. What the hell?
I didn't want to talk to him, but I was
afraid that if I didn't reply, it would just irritate him. So I gritted my teeth and typed: I had a high fever and went to the hospital for IV fluids and antibiotics.
I was prepared for more questions, but he didn't text back. So I put down my phone and fell asleep.
