Glancing at the caller ID on the screen, Sharon paused for a moment before picking up. "Master Leonard..."
As soon as Melanie heard Sharon call out his name, she lifted her head to stare at Sharon, her bright eyes flashing with complex emotion.
"Where are you?" The man asked in a deep voice.
Sharon looked at Melanie, who was watching her, and whispered, "I'm with Melanie."
"Where?" Leonard asked calmly.
"At the shopping mall in Star Square." Sharon answered honestly.
"Are you shopping for clothes?"
"Mm-hmm." Sharon hummed.
"Did you bring enough money?" He pressed on. "Tell me if it's not enough, I'll have Tim send you some."
...
"All right."
A moment of silence passed between them.
"Simon, shall we order a minestrone soup?" Alexandrina's sweet voice suddenly rang out.
...
There were few patrons in the restaurant, so everyone heard Alexandrina's voice loud and clear.
"Sharon, what do you think about minestrone soup?" Simon turned to Sharon and asked.
...
Sharon said nothing, and Melanie immediately felt that something was amiss.
...
Abruptly, a beep came from Sharon's phone as the other person hung up.
Sharon shuddered silently, her grip on the phone tightening.
Melanie pressed her lips together when she saw Sharon's pale face as she lowered the phone.
"Sharon? Sharon!"
"Oh! Yes?" Sharon jerked with a start, still in a daze. She frowned subconsciously and looked at Simon blankly.
"Are you all right?" Simon asked her worriedly, looking at her pale face.
Sharon shook her head. Her voice was raspy as she replied, "I'm fine. What did you say just now?"
Simon peered at her warily. "Are you really all right?"
"Yes." Sharon nodded.
Simon stared at her for a moment before saying, "I was asking if you wanted minestrone soup."
"Sure, I'm fine with anything." Sharon plastered a fake smile.
Simon frowned and thought, "Sharon has been acting weird since she answered the phone. She seems... uneasy."
