With a deep sigh, Vera picked up the phone, not that she was willing, but the fact that she was inescapable.
If by any chance she rejected picking up the phone, she would receive a carefully drafted message issuing a series of instructions, and when she claimed not to have heard or read the message, a designated guard would be sent to convey it personally.
In summary, in whatever way she tried to avoid it, in the end, the message would definitely find its way to get across to her.
With her hand sliding across the screen, the call was picked up.
"Hello... Dad," she greeted calmly, even though her heart was raging with fury.
"Vera, Davis resumes office today," he stated, his voice laced with calm and certainty.
It was not a hidden fact. It was as clear as day he had only called to confirm what was known.
From his voice, Vera drew up her conclusion. There was a reason for the call, and it wouldn't be far from the old matter.
"Yes, Dad," she answered.
