"Well…" Hailee said softly, shuffling around to give her brain enough time to assemble the right words. "I wish you called me."
In the end, Hailee couldn't think of a proper excuse and preferred to be honest. She then closed her eyes while twisting the ends of her hair which she tied on top of her head. Waiting for Ramon's response to her bold statement.
However, after waiting for a while, Ramon did not respond. Instead, Hailee heard the sound of something rubbing and clinking.
"Ramon? What are you doing?" Hailee asked.
"My dinner has just delivered," said Ramon.
It seemed that the sounds Hailee heard earlier were the ones when Ramon put his plate on the table and a glass of water for him.
"Oh," Hailee muttered. It was not wrong that Lexus had asked if Ramon had eaten or not, because it was already late like this, and he was just about to start his dinner. "Then just turn off the phone so you can eat."
"No, speak up," said Ramon. "I'm busy this afternoon so I didn't call you."
This was just shocking!
Hailee raised her eyebrows when she heard Ramon's explanation. Actually, the girl expected that Ramon would say; he should have called her first. Hailee did not expect Ramon to provide this kind of explanation.
"Oh, it's okay…" Hailee cringed at her negative and superficial thoughts. Even from a distance, Ramon could embarrass her. "Is it okay for you to speak while you eat?" Hailee asked worriedly. Some people don't like having a chat while eating, right?
But, then Hailee heard a notification sound from her cellphone, and when she saw, it turned out that Ramon was asking for the call to be turned into a video call.
Instantly Hailee tried to groom herself as best she could to not look too disheveled. She nervously combed her hair and remembered that she was far from 'presentable'.
For some reason, Hailee didn't think about wearing tidier clothes when she visited Lexus's house. She only came in wearing her yellow pajamas with her hair tied over her head.
It was only after Hailee managed to put back her messy hair ties into place that she accepted the video call.
This was their first video call and somehow Hailee felt like a teenager who was being called by her boyfriend. Although that wasn't entirely wrong ...
"Yes?" Hailee looked at Ramon through her cell phone screen. There it appeared that the man was enjoying his dinner; breaded lamb breast. It looked good…
Because eating that type of food required both hands, so Ramon leaned back his cellphone so that he faced Hailee, as if they were on the same table.
"You wore that to Lexus's house?" Ramon stopped eating. His forehead creased looking at the pajamas Hailee was wearing.
"Lexus's house is close by." Hailee tried to find an excuse. Then from the corner of her eye, she could see the maid who had been asked to clean the guest room, had come out and when their eyes met she smiled and nodded, as if saying that Hailee could use the room.
"Next time wear a jacket," Ramon said in a flat tone and continued his delayed meal.
"Okay," Hailee said cheerfully, as she walked toward her room.
She never thought that calling Ramon was actually this easy, if she knew it would be like this, she'd have already called him and wouldn't bother looking for Lexus.
However, Hailee was also confused, what was she really afraid of? Why should she be nervous when she called Ramon?
Hailee's eyes quickly roamed around the guest room in Lexus's house and since there was nothing special, because this room was the same as the rooms in Ramon's house, she immediately walked over to the bed and sank into it.
