What was the connection between a shameless phone call and his congratulatory messages? She would come up with all sorts of excuses just to check his phone.
There was nothing for him to hide. Thus, he gave her his phone.
His phone was filled with notifications indicating that there were new messages.
After unlocking the phone, Caroline glanced at the text messages, and they were similar congratulatory messages from his clients. There was nothing unique.
She only wanted to divert her attention by asking to check his phone. She did not intend to do anything else.
After a glimpse, she was about to return his phone, but there was a message that caught her attention. It was different from the rest.
In a flash, she clicked on the text message. The number was not saved in his contacts.
The text message read, "Happy New Year to you, Mr. President. The fireworks tonight are beautiful."
