Riiing! Riiing! Riiing!
The sound of his phone ringing came from the room. Axel finished brushing his hair back, and stepped out from the bathroom to check what it was.
An incoming video call from his mother.
Axel's brows furrowed slightly as he read the name on the screen, but he still picked up the call.
"Are you ready for your date yet?" was the first thing that left Mrs. Chandler's mouth the moment Axel appeared on her screen.
"It's not a date, it's an apology dinner. But yes, I am," Axel corrected her, before swiftly changing the topic. "How's your trip going?"
Mrs. Chandler had been on her spa retreat since the previous evening, and wouldn't be back until the next day. Currently, she was lounging on a spa bed, wrapped in a bathrobe, with a mask covering her face, clearly in the middle of some treatment…
"Great. The customer service here is excellent."
