A Sudden Reunion

The man's voice that responded from the other line made Martha's eyes brightened.

"May I speak to Mr. Blake King please?" She instantly asked to confirm the owner of the number she called.

The line was quiet for a few seconds before the man replied, "May I know who is on the line?"

"Martha…Martha Johnson" She smiled widely like she just won a lottery.

"Miss Martha…" The man was quiet again, but continued after a few moments, "Can you call again during office hours?"

"Huh?" Martha was confused.

"If you have a watch right now, you could see that it is eight twenty five PM. That means that my boss and I have already gotten off work." The man's answer was delivered in a polite tone but it would sure send Martha in heart pain.

"Ah…I'm sorry. I got the number from my friends and Blake is my friend. I thought this was his number." She was stuttering giving her reason.
