[Then, why did you suddenly cut off the call?]

"I'm just panicking because Julien suddenly asked me to take a vacation while this news subsided."

[As usual, you deliberately turned off the phone on Julien's suggestion?]

Thea could feel how much Ava's curiosity was. Whenever she asks a question, Ava always emphasizes every word she says.

Although Ava couldn't watch whatever she was doing at this time, Thea still made a move. She shook her head.

"I took the initiative to turn off the mobile phone. After all-"

[It's good that you turned off your phone even though I had trouble reaching you.] Ava cut in.

"What's that?"

[You took a good rest, right, for these two days?]

Thea nodded. "Right," she replied as it was.

[Thea, don't you think our rivals suddenly became too much?]

Thea frowned at the question. "What do you mean?"

Ava laughed amusedly before answering.
