Friendzoned

Nicklaus phone buzzed on the table as he sat in his office and he picked it up, his brows creased when he saw it was a text from an unknown caller;

'…So I know you're attending a gala today and you have no date, I can be your date if you want, I didn't call because I know you would end the call once you know who it is… Claire. '

Nicklaus read the text over and over again, his mind going back to what he had seen two days ago and his eyes clouded, he was quiet for a moment, deep in thoughts, when suddenly, he tapped on the unknown number and called;

Claire knew Nicklaus was not going to call, she just wanted to try her luck but she was not hopeful.

But suddenly, her phone vibrated in her hands, and her eyes widened when she saw the caller id.

Nicklaus!

Her heart slammed against her chest; was he calling to tell her to quit disturbing him?
