When Otis picked the call, Nicholas heard Dina's loud voice on the other end. He moved the phone away from his ears at once.
"Otis, What's going on over there? Is everything alright? Why is there so much noise in the background?" Nicholas asked him as he became tense.
"That…" Otis glanced at Dina, Mike, and Benjamin once and then scratched his head.
"If you are going to talk on the phone then you have to pay a fine of hundred dollars per minute you spend on the call," Dina loudly spoke and waved her hands to ask for money from him.
Otis's heart almost bled and pulled a hundred-dollar bill from his pocket and handed it to her with hesitation. Just before he could change his mind, Dina ran near him and pulled the note from his hand.
He almost said in a crying tone, "Madam, I am dropping out of this game. I will join after this call is over," Otis said as he did not want to lose any more money.
