Joan, what's going on? Are you making a promise because of me?"

Violet's voice interrupted the call. Joanna forced a smile. Alex was not as simple as she thought.

Whenever she was moved by the softness he showed whenever they were pretending, he would break her hopes with a singular word or act.

Perhaps by forcing him to go back on his word in bringing back Betty, he was trying to get back at her.

As a woman, she knew the signs of flirting and Alex was not that type.

"Don't worry, Violet. Let me take care of this," she replied before returning her attention to the phone in her ear.
