บท 838: Expecting good news, Mr. Bennet

Stephen had no idea where the driver would take him, but he guessed that he would be taken to the original destination, the country club, where Stephen was a member.

Seated in one of the VIP lounges of the establishment's bar, Stephen gazed at the phone in front of him.

"What a surprise. I was thinking of sending you home. I didn't expect you to reach out to me," the voice on the phone chuckled in amusement as if he were caught off guard. "At least, not this soon."

Stephen drew a deep breath and closed his eyes. "You were expecting my… call?"

"Well, should I not?"

"Stop playing with me."

The man on the call let out a laugh. "Why are you angry, Stephen Bennet? I'm not playing with you. I'm simply… surprised, that's all."
