Chapter 646: Calling 'him'

"Sumire?"

"Ah, I'm just going to make a call. You two continue discussing." Sumire quickly exited the room without looking back. She hurried down the hallway and quickly climbed the stairs leading to the rooftop.

Sumire perched herself on the top and took a deep breath before she dialed a familiar number.

"Hello?"

She almost dropped the phone and heard a familiar voice. M-moreover, why did he have to pick up on the first ring?

"It's me."

For a moment, he doesn't reply before she hears him chuckle. "I know; that was the fastest I answered the phone."

Sumire felt her cheeks turn red, understanding what he meant. 

"I'd love to see how that comment made you turn into a red tomato."

"You're teasing me again."

"Maybe I am."

"Toh," Sumire mumbled. Yes, the person on the other end of the phone is Mashima Toh. She took a deep breath before asking. "When will you return?"

"Why? Because you miss me?"

"A little."
