James sighed and closed his eyes a few times gritted. He was annoyed that Delilah wanted to pay off her debt. James tugged on his tie as if it had suffocated him and kept on swallowing hard his saliva.
"I want to pay off my debt, Mr. J. Are you going to release my brother too?" Delilah pleaded to whine at James, who suddenly gasped and started to panic.
'I cannot allow this!' shouted James' mind.
"Mr. J?" called Delilah again because James did not respond to her.
"Uh... what did you say?" James asked as soon as he came to his senses.
"Didn't you hear me? Can you hear my voice?" Delilah asked innocently, thinking James couldn't hear her voice because of the signal trouble that might happen.
"Uhm… I'm busy, Candy. We'll talk about that when I get back, shall we?"
"When are you coming back?"
"Maybe next week."
