Chapter 72. Fainted

Pierson dialed Maggie's number for the umpteenth time that day.

He sank lower into his chair and rested his chin on his chest. Maggie had moved to one of the farthest states from Octens, Pestimo. He just wanted to hear it from her lips that what they had was really over.

"Hello, who is this?"

Dread spiked up Pierson's gut when a man answered the phone. Was it her Dad?

"I'm her boss, why do you keep calling? Can't you take a hint? If the call keeps going through but no one's picking up it means they're deliberately ignoring you."

"Why do you have Maggie's phone?"

BEEP!

Pierson stared at the phone shocked. A notification hummed in a few minutes later. From Maggie.

"I clearly stated in that letter that we are done. Don't bother trying to reach me anymore, I'm changing my number."
