Bab 73: Karen, testing the waters?

Chapter - 73

Alex finally got to his room with the help of his father. He didn't need his help, but his old man was adamant about tucking him to bed. Silly old man.

After he got into his room, the first thing he did was pull out his phone and decided to call Karen. It was only right of him to give her a heads up that he might not come tomorrow. Karen was quite understanding she wouldn't refuse. Just when he was about to call her, his phone rang.

** Ring! Ring!

Ellaine's name flashed on the screen.

Alex picked it up, "Hello".

"Newbie, are you alright? Heard you got injured today?" Ellaine asked from the other side. Though she was not talking to him for some time, she was the first to call and ask about his well-being. And unlike her usual teasing tone, she genuinely sounded worried.

"I am fine, just some small injuries," Alex told her.
