Chương 199: Nicole had done her job

Xavier spun in his chair as he shuffled his phone in his hand. He stopped to unlock it and saw Nicole's contact details. It had been a few days since they had their fight at the restaurant. She had not made an effort to even talk to him. He thought the time apart was enough for her to calm down.

A part of him didn't want to deal with her, but if he didn't set things right, it would bother him even more. He let out a breath and without a second thought, he dialed her number. It rung for a while before she answered. He was greeted with silence. He looked at the display and saw the seconds running.

"Nicole?" He called out after pressing the phone back to his ear.

"Yes", she replied in a flat tone.

"We need to talk. Are you home?" he said.

"Let's meet outside. I'll send you the address", she said then hang up.
