LYCIA'S HEART FELL TO THE FLOOR

Once again, Lycia stared blankly at the phone screen. It was the same as what happened earlier when the screen went black again, but her hazel eyes continued to stare at it instead of moving elsewhere.

No. Davel didn't reject her call, but the man just ignored it. Davel didn't use his thumb to press the eject button, but the man just didn't answer the call. The phone rang several times without anyone answering, and Lycia took the initiative to hang up because she knew Davel might be busy right now.

Yes. Lycia kept telling herself that Davel was busy with the charity dinner, and that was why he didn't have time to answer her calls.
